Turkish Journal of Physics
The effect of neutron irradiation on phase purity, crystal structure, and electrical resistivity of Tl_{0.6}Pb_{0.3}Cd_{0.1} Ba_2Ca_2Cu_3O_{9-delta} superconductors has been studied before and after irradiation by electrical resistance measurements and X-ray diffraction techniques. The zero-resistance superconducting transition temperature, T_{c(offset)}, of samples systematically decreases by about 5 K with the increase of neutron irradiation fluence up 18.12 \times 10^{10} n cm^{-2}. The crystalline phases showed that the compounds have 2 phases, a high-Tc phase (1223) and low-Tc phase (1212), in addition to the impurity phase. The irradiation led to a decrease in oxygen content and volume fraction of high-Tc phase (1223).

Equilibrium Shapes And Deformations Of Some Rare Earth Nuclei In Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky Shell Correction Approach, Antony Joseph, Kizhakkath Kalam Girija
Turkish Journal of Physics
The nuclear potential energies of neutron-deficient even-even rare earth nuclei ^{150-160}Dy, ^{150-160}Er, ^{150-160}Yb, ^{158,162,166-176}Hf, ^{160,164-178}W, and ^{162,166,170-180}Os are computed within the framework of the cranked Nilsson--Strutinsky shell correction method. The ground state potential energy surface diagrams of these nuclei are analysed in terms of quadrupole deformation and the triaxiality parameter. The nuclear shapes and deformations in the ground state are found to be functions of Z and N. Even though most of the isotopes in this region seem to be prolate in the ground state, oblate and triaxial shapes are also predicted for some isotopes. It is also found that …

Analyses Of Elastically Scattered Charged Pions From Calcium Isotopes And The ^{48}Ca-^{54}Fe Isotone At 180 Mev, Zuhair Fayyad Mahmoud Shehadeh
Turkish Journal of Physics
The elastic scattering of 180 MeV positively and negatively charged pions, incident on a set of calcium isotopes and the isotone ^{48}Ca - ^{54}Fe, has been analyzed within the framework of a recently updated simple local optical potential. This potential, particularly at the tail region, has been originally determined from available phase shifts using inverse scattering theory and the Klein--Gordon equation as a guide. The analysis is carried out with and without considering the squared potential term in the Klein-Gordon equation. Coulomb effects are accounted for by implementing Stricker's prescription. The numerical results for the angular distributions with isotopic and …

A Fission Model Approach To Alpha Decay And Cluster Radioactivity Of Dy, Er, And Yb Isotopes, Kizhakkath Kalam Girija, Antony Joseph
Turkish Journal of Physics
Rare earth nuclei are probable candidates for exhibiting cluster radioactivity. In the present work, a theoretical study of alpha decay and heavy cluster emission from Dy, Er, and Yb nuclei in the mass range 150 < A < 190 has been carried out in a fission model approach. Some of the proton-rich isotopes of these nuclei are found to have long half-lives, but within the measurable range. Many of the neutron-rich isotopes under consideration are far from beta stability and the most probable light clusters predicted are highly exotic in nature and the corresponding half-lives are extremely short. However, the decays of most probable heavy clusters predicted have half-lives in the measurable range. The calculations on neutron-rich isotopes indicate the emergence of new magic numbers for protons and neutrons. The centrifugal barrier effect on decay rate of some proton-rich Er isotopes is also investigated.

Our main aim was to investigate variations in the refractive index of a solution during chemical reaction. The variation of refractive index was measured through the entire acid--base titration process, especially near the equivalence point. To determine the equivalence point, the conductivity of the solution and the refractive index were measured simultaneously. In this preliminary study, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid were used as the base and the acid solution, respectively. To measure the refractive index variation, a fiber-optic refractive index sensor was designed. The fiber-optic probe was dipped into the solution and acted as a refractive index sensor according …

The Development Of A Novel Technique To Evaluate The Cr-39 Track Response To Alpha Particles, Khalil Ibrahim Mohammad, Muzahim Ibrahim Azawe
Turkish Journal of Physics
A novel technique is presented for the assessment of the track response of the detector CR-39 to alpha particles by photothermal deflection spectroscopy and image analysis. The 2 new techniques can be implemented to CR-39 as in situ measurements. The proposed techniques offer the possibility of monitoring nuclear radiation directly. Photothermal deflection is described to detect the change in the thermal and optical properties of the track nuclear detector CR-39 when irradiated to alpha particles. In situ image analysis of the photothermal deflection spot is presented to assess the detection of the CR-39 of any nuclear particle or radiation instantaneously.

Turkish Journal of Physics
A cold field emission from LaB_6/W-coated cathodes has been investigated with a high-accuracy and low-cost retarding field analyzer instrument. Guidelines are provided for measurements of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) characteristics and total energy distributions using a single set-up and direct detection technique to address presumed shortages in sophisticated instrumental requirements for integral investigation. Electron emission from LaB_6 nanoprotrusions, deposited on a tungsten microtip, was successfully investigated. Results emphasize a metallic behavior of the emitter in accordance with the FN theory. No size effects were observed for protrusions of 300 nm in radii.

A symmetric 3-layer slab waveguide with a left-handed material as a guiding layer is examined analytically for cover refractive index detection. The TM mode dispersion relation of the proposed waveguide is investigated. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor to changes in the cover refractive index and the power flowing within each layer are presented. Some unusual features are found; for example, the sensitivity of the proposed sensor is negative. Moreover, the sensitivity improvement compared with the conventional 3-layer waveguide sensor is approximately a factor of 6.

Defect Studies In Strain-Relaxed Si_{1-X}Ge_X Alloys, Şeref Kalem
Turkish Journal of Physics
Raman light scattering, low-temperature photoluminescence, light-scattering tomography, and hydrogenation were used to investigate optical properties of defects in strain-relaxed Si_{1-x}Ge_x (0.05 \le x \le 0.50) alloys. The photoluminescence emission was characterized by typical zero-phonon, phonon-assisted, and dislocations-related emissions, which are dependent on Ge composition x. However, luminescence spectra exhibited above band-gap features, which are likely associated with the presence of Si-rich regions in the alloys. The results are correlated with light-scattering tomography, revealing the presence of dislocations and Si precipitates. The excess peak at 519 cm^{-1} in Ge-rich samples is supportive of this observation. At low Ge content, a dislocation-related …

Recombination Mechanisms In Hydrogenated Silicon Nanocrystalline Thin Films, Zaki M. Saleh, Salam M. Kmail, Samah F. Assaf, Atif F. Qasrawi
Turkish Journal of Physics
The photoconductivity dependences on temperature and illumination intensity were investigated for thin films of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) grown by very-high-frequency, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The nanocrystalline phase was achieved by heavy hydrogen dilution of silane (SiH_4). We find that the activation energy of the photoconductivity is sensitive to the incident illumination intensity for illumination intensities below 6 mW/cm^2. The photocurrent follows a power-law dependence on illumination intensity (I_{ph}\propto F^{gamma}), with gamma ranging from 0.36 to 0.83. The illumination dependence of the photocurrent suggests 2 different recombination mechanisms depending on temperature. In the lower temperature regime (300-340 K), recombination appears …

Turkish Journal of Physics
MCP-100, MYS-N, MTS-7, MTS-100, and MCP-N standard thermoluminescence detector materials are annealed and irradiated. Glow curves and all trap parameters are determined. For these materials new theoretical energy band models are suggested and differential equations governing the charge carrier traffics are derived. The equations are solved by using computer-based numerical methods. During the simulations, experimental data measured in the previous step are given to computer code as the initial conditions. Experimental and numerical results show that the electron-band structures of standard thermoluminescence crystals are represented fairly well by the suggested models.

Chaos And Its Control In Semiconductor Laser With Delayed Negative Optoelectronic Feedback, Guang-Yu Jiang, Juan Zhang, Yan Huang
Turkish Journal of Physics
We reveal theoretically chaos and its control in a semiconductor laser with delayed negative optoelectronic feedback. Under nonperiodic or sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the semiconductor laser exhibits rich nonlinear dynamics. For a given coupling constant, chaos is shown in a semiconductor laser directly injected by external light. For a photoelectric delayed negative-feedback scheme with sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the laser can be controlled in single-periodic, dual-periodic, multi-periodic states, and even chaos. The results also illustrate what we think to be a new method to generate various period states in the chaos system.

In the present paper, nanosized barium titanate (BaTiO_3) powders were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method. The structural characterization of as-prepared powders was investigated using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The particle size was estimated using a transmission electron microscope. The nanopowders were sintered at different temperatures using a microwave furnace, followed by characterizations such as X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric constant behavior was observed as a function of frequency (100 Hz to 1 MHz) and temperature. The ferroelectric nature was confirmed from polarization-electric field loops.
