The radial distribution functions and the structure factors derived from molecular dynamics simulations at 300 K agreed well with the experimental and other molecular dynamics results. The coordination numbers calculated at 300 …


Effect Of Left-Handed Materials In Surface Plasmon Excitation And Propagationlength, Ari̇f Engi̇n Çeti̇n Jan 2019

Effect Of Left-Handed Materials In Surface Plasmon Excitation And Propagationlength, Ari̇f Engi̇n Çeti̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigated the dispersion relation of surface plasmons (SPs) excited in a medium comprised of a left-handed material (LHM) layer. We investigated different light polarizations in SP excitation along an LHM-metal interface. We studied SP excitation through a classical Kretschmann geometry, employing an LHM interlayer between a dielectric and a metal layer. Using this three-layer configuration, we investigated the effect of LHM medium on characterizing SP propagation length, which is directly related to the energy of the surface waves.


Design And Test Of An Apparatus For Transient Measurements Of The Thermalconductivity And Volumetric Heat Capacity Of Solids, Florian Gather, Ekrem Güneş, Peter J. Klar Jan 2019

Design And Test Of An Apparatus For Transient Measurements Of The Thermalconductivity And Volumetric Heat Capacity Of Solids, Florian Gather, Ekrem Güneş, Peter J. Klar

Turkish Journal of Physics

Knowledge of the thermal conductivity (κ) of solids is crucial for all thermoelectric devices. A new approach in transient measurement to determine this value as well as electric conductivity (σ) and the Seebeck coefficient (S) is presented here. This approach can be combined with current steady-state methods. A cylindrical sample is mounted between two heat-flux sensors that can be heated or cooled at their outer ends. The input signals defining the heat fluxes at the sensors can be any arbitrary function of time, although some waveforms yield more valid results. The method is evaluated by employing a one-dimensional numerical model …

Autonomous Piston Engine Guided By The Transduction Of Radiation Pressure Inoptomechanical Brownian Motors, Yusuf Gül

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider the autonomous piston engine in a coupled cavity scheme in an optomechanical setup. Treating the radiation field as working fluid, we investigate the transduction of virtual photons due to ground state excitations. Rabi-like energy splittings and Casimir effect are shown by avoided crossing in the eigenfunction spectrum. Second order coherence functions are employed to analyze the bunching of the cavity and mechanical mode in optomechanical implementation of Brownian motors. The imbalance in occupation numbers of the working modes is investigated for the power for work extraction. We explore the guidance of the radiation field in work extraction. We …


Modified Newton's Gravitational Law From Deformed Poisson Bracket, Ch'ng Han Siong Jan 2019

Modified Newton's Gravitational Law From Deformed Poisson Bracket, Ch'ng Han Siong

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, we obtain the modified Newton's gravitational law from deformed Poisson bracket motivated by the generalized uncertainty principle. The modified Newton's gravitational law that we obtain contains a term that plays an important role only in the regime of first order in $\bar{\beta}$. In the ordinary situation or condition, the modified Newton's gravitational law reduces to the conventional Newton's gravitational law.


Lorentz-Violating Effects In Single W Boson Production At The Lhc, Serdar Spor, İnanç Şahi̇n Jan 2019

Lorentz-Violating Effects In Single W Boson Production At The Lhc, Serdar Spor, İnanç Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigate the Lorentz-violating effects of Standard Model Extension (SME) in single W boson production process pp → pγp → p W- q' X at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We employ the Weizsacker-Williams approximation for photons emitted from one of the incoming proton beams and consider γq → W- q' as a subprocess in the proton-proton collision. The behavior of the differential cross-section for various orientations of the constant background fields is obtained by taking into account longitudinal and transverse polarization states of the final W bosons.

Turkish Journal of Physics

The present paper examines the effects of surface modification of CdS with diverse dyes on fabricated CdSbased hybrid solar cells. The X-ray diffraction results showed that CdS thin films had a hexagonal phase with a preferred orientation along the (101) plane. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the CdS specimen was composed of a granular structure while a P3HT layer was formed from tiny grains. Band gaps of the CdS thin films and the P3HT layer were 2.45 eV and 1.98 eV, respectively. The absorption spectra showed that different dye loading caused an increase in the absorbance of CdS thin films …


On Memory Effect In Modified Gravity Theories, Ercan Kiliçarslan Jan 2019

On Memory Effect In Modified Gravity Theories, Ercan Kiliçarslan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we discuss the gravitational memory effect in higher derivative and infinite derivative gravity theories and give the detailed relevant calculations whose results were given in our recent works. We show that the memory effect in higher derivative gravity takes the same form as in pure GR at large distances, whereas at small distances, the results are different. We also demonstrate that, in infinite derivative gravity, the memory is reduced via error function as compared to Einstein's gravity. For the lower bound on the mass scale of nonlocality, the memory essentially reproduces the usual GR result at distances …


Pressure-Induced Structural Phase Transition And Electronic Structure Of In$_{1-X}$Ga$_{X}$P Alloys: A Dft Study, Kabita Khoirom, Indrajit Sharma, Brojen Singh, Ramkumar Thapa Jan 2019

Pressure-Induced Structural Phase Transition And Electronic Structure Of In$_{1-X}$Ga$_{X}$P Alloys: A Dft Study, Kabita Khoirom, Indrajit Sharma, Brojen Singh, Ramkumar Thapa

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present the density functional calculation to study the pressure-induced structural phase transition and electronic structure of In$_{1-x}$Ga$_{x}$P ($x =$ 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) alloys. We report the optimized structural parameters such as lattice constant, bulk modulus, and derivative of the bulk modulus of the alloys. Our calculation confirms that the alloys in the zinc-blende structure are more stable than in the rock-salt structure. The phase transition study from zinc-blende to rock-salt under pressure shows that the transition pressure increases with an increase in doping concentration. The energy band diagram of the alloys in the zinc-blende phase reveals a …

Theoretical Description Of The Two-Color Photoelectron Spectra Process Of Hydrogen: Comparison Between Tdse Calculation And Kroll And Watson Approach, Souhaila Chaddou, Soumia Chqondi, Abdelmalek Taoutioui, Abdelkader Makhoute

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present a theoretical study of the main characteristics of two-color photoionization of hydrogen atoms by short strong laser pulses. Our numerical approach is performed by numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a hydrogen atom interacting with Ti:sapphire laser radiation combined with its 15th harmonic. The energy spectra obtained by the direct numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation are compared with those given by the Kroll and Watson perturbative approach. This comparison allows us to check the reliability of the latter approximation.

Electroweak Decays Of Unflavored Mesons In Poincaré Covariant Quark Model, Vadzim Haurysh, Viktor Andreev

Turkish Journal of Physics

This work presents the procedure for obtaining integral representation of the radiative decay constant in the Poincaré-covariant quark model, based on Poincaré-invariant quantum mechanics. In the course of the work the authors give numerical estimates of magnetic moments of the light quarks ($u,d,s$) from the $V\rightarrow P\gamma$ decay, based on the calculation method of the observer that was previously developed. This technique is generalized in the case of the decay $P\rightarrow V\gamma$ with further numerical calculation of mixing angles $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ of pseudoscalar mesons. Within the framework of the offered approach, we obtain a self-consistent model that describes radiative and leptonic …

Total Sunspot Number Calculation Based On Flare Production Potential Of Sunspot Groups: Reconstruction Of Ssn And Its Relation To Some Geomagnetic Indices, Ahmet Burak Karslioğlu, Burçi̇n Dönmez, Ali̇ Kilçik

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we modified the previously introduced X-ray flare production potential (FPP) of each modified Zurich sunspot group based on its X-ray flare peak flux. Then, using these FPPs, the daily total sunspot number (Zurich number) calculation equation was modified; thus, new sunspot number data (CRz) were produced. We also compared ISSN and CRz with some geomagnetic indices (Dst, the maximum CME speed, and Ap indices). We found that the CRz data describe the geomagnetic indices quite well compared to ISSN. By using the regression equation between CRz and the sunspot area, the CRz dataset was recalculated back to …

The Effect Of Phenylboronic Acid-Based Self-Assembled Monolayers On Theperformance Of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (Ofets), Tuğbahan Yilmaz Aliç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dielectric/semiconductor interface is one of the most important components strongly affecting the performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). To improve OFET parameters, we applied a series of phenylboronic acid derivatives as self-assembly molecules between dielectric and organic semiconductor layers. Device performance parameters, especially threshold voltage, current on/off ratio, and subthreshold slope, were improved. To elucidate the mechanism, dielectric/semiconductor interfaces were analyzed using atomic force microscope and contact angle techniques.


Thin-Shell Wormholes From Kiselev Black Holes, Peter Kuhfittig Jan 2019

Thin-Shell Wormholes From Kiselev Black Holes, Peter Kuhfittig

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper discusses the theoretical construction of thin-shell wormholes from Kiselev black holes. We assume a barotropic equation of state for the exotic matter on the shell. While most of these wormholes are unstable to linearized radial perturbations, a limit argument is used to show that under certain conditions, stable solutions can be found.


Nonlinear Frequency Conversion Of Light Inside A Microcavity, Emre Yüce Jan 2019

Nonlinear Frequency Conversion Of Light Inside A Microcavity, Emre Yüce

Turkish Journal of Physics

Changing the color of light in a small mode volume is essential for applications that require on-chip operation. Microcavities are profound structures given their property to confine light in a small mode volume. Here, I numerically investigate the frequency conversion of light in a microcavity and show that the frequency converted light intensity is distinguished from an open medium such as an optical fiber or a nonlinear crystal. I observe that the frequency converted light intensity increases with increased rate of change of the refractive index of the microcavity. Notably, this study shows that the intensity of the frequency converted …

Method For Determination Of Water Hammer Conditions And Consequences Inpressurizers Of Nuclear Reactors, Vladimir Skalozubov, Oleg Chulkin, Denis Pirkovskiy, Igor Kozlov, Yuriy Komarov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Results of known experimental and computed studies of conditions for water hammers (WHs) in reactor pressurizers are analyzed. It is found that when emergency opening of pilot-operated safety valves of the pressurizers of nuclear reactors happens, WHs can be generated on pressurizer elements, and amplitudes of hydrodynamic load pulses significantly override the limiting values. An original method for determination of the WH conditions and consequences in the case of emergency filling of the pressurizers of nuclear reactors is proposed. Unlike the traditional Joukowski formula, the presented method considers the key features and effects of the WH conditions and consequences in …


Application Of The Fractional Oscillator Model To Describe Damped Vibrations, Sergo Rekhviashvili, Arsen Pskhu, Praveen Agarwal, Shilpi Jain Jan 2019

Application Of The Fractional Oscillator Model To Describe Damped Vibrations, Sergo Rekhviashvili, Arsen Pskhu, Praveen Agarwal, Shilpi Jain

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider a model of damped vibrations based on fractional differentiation. The model given is completely consistent with the classical model of vibration with viscous damping. We find the relation between the order of fractional differentiation in the equation of motion and Q-factor of an oscillator. The proposed approach seems more appropriate for the physical nature of the described system. The experiment with a vibrating piezoelectric plate, performed as part of the study, showed good agreement with the model and confirmed that the fractional oscillator model can be used to describe strongly damped vibrations.

Effect Of Annealing Temperature On Structural, Electrical, And Uv Sensingcharacteristics Of N-Zno/P-Si Heterojunction Photodiodes, Şenol Kaya

Turkish Journal of Physics

The aim of this study is to investigate the influences of annealing temperature on initial device characteristics and their correlations with ultraviolet (UV) radiation sensitivity of n-type zinc oxide/p-silicon (n-ZnO/p-Si) heterojunction photodiodes. Evolutions on the crystalline structure, surface morphology, ideality factor, barrier potential, interface state density, and donor concentration were systematically analyzed during the initial device characterizations before testing the UV sensitivities of the photonic devices. The results demonstrate that the sensitivity of each n-ZnO/p-Si photodiode annealed at various temperatures was linearly correlated with different UV illumination intensities. The devices annealed at 750 ºC and 550 ºC exhibit more sensitive …


Comparison Of Geometric And Drive-Induced Nonlinearities In Doubly Clamped,Thermoelastic Nanoelectromechanical Systems, Mehmet Seli̇m Hanay Jan 2019

Comparison Of Geometric And Drive-Induced Nonlinearities In Doubly Clamped,Thermoelastic Nanoelectromechanical Systems, Mehmet Seli̇m Hanay

Turkish Journal of Physics

The performance of resonant sensors based on nanoelectromechanical systems depends critically on the maximum amplitude of oscillation reached in the linear regime. The maximum linear amplitude is determined by nonlinear mechanisms that can originate from the material, geometric and transduction mechanism related factors. Here we compare the two competing effects, the geometric and drive-induced nonlinearities, for a commonly used device family, the thermoelastically driven, doubly clamped beams. We find that the geometric nonlinearity dominates for most of the device designs used in the literature, however the drive-induced nonlinearity becomes the determining factor for thicker beams with small electrode lengths.


Localizable Entanglement Of Isotropic Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 Chain, İzzet Paruğ Duru, Şahi̇n Aktaş Jan 2019

Localizable Entanglement Of Isotropic Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 Chain, İzzet Paruğ Duru, Şahi̇n Aktaş

Turkish Journal of Physics

The bounds of entanglement on antiferromagnetic (AF) isotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain including dipole- dipole interaction (D) were investigated. The Quantum Monte Carlo method based on loop algorithm was employed to calculate the two-spin and single-spin expectation values mediating the lower and upper bounds. It was revealed that D and Bz (the applied magnetic field) were pivotal parameters in controlling either entanglement creation/extinction or entanglement enhancement/weakening. Rival regions indicated a revival phenomenon depending on the temperature for various strengths of D which also showed a nonmonotonic behavior under certain Bz identifying critical points. Even if thermal agitations break the stability of …

Turkish Journal of Physics

The structural and optical properties of the AuBr nanocrystals embedded in the KBr single crystals grown by the Czochralski method were studied using several techniques. The X-ray diffraction reveals their formation and incorporation. The crystallite average radii calculated from XRD using the Scherrer's formula was found to vary between 19 and 39 nm. The photoluminescence spectra obtained on these same samples present an emission band located at 1.91 eV (650 nm), which can be attributed to the orange luminescence of AuBr nanocrystals. However, the photoluminescence excitation measurements of these nanocrystals exhibit an excitation band located at 3.44 eV (360 nm), …
