Phase And Risetime Dependence Using Rf Pulses In Multiphoton Processes, W. M. Griffith, Michael W. Noel, T. F. Gallagher Jan 1998

Phase And Risetime Dependence Using Rf Pulses In Multiphoton Processes, W. M. Griffith, Michael W. Noel, T. F. Gallagher

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

With this experiment we demonstrate that excitation of a two-state system with radio-frequency fields differing in phase by 90° produces nonintuitively different results, even for very long pulses. In addition, we show how the phase dependence of the transition probability of long pulses can be easily understood by using the single cycle time propagator. Finally, we have found surprising results for real pulses in the strong-field regime, i.e., pulses having appreciable rise and fall times.

A Longitudinal Study Of Engineering Student Performance And Retention. V. Comparisons With Traditionally-Taught Students, Richard M. Felder, Gary Felder, E. Jacquelin Dietz Jan 1998

A Longitudinal Study Of Engineering Student Performance And Retention. V. Comparisons With Traditionally-Taught Students, Richard M. Felder, Gary Felder, E. Jacquelin Dietz

Physics: Faculty Publications

In a longitudinal study at North Carolina State University, a cohort of students took five chemical engineering courses taught by the same instructor in five consecutive semesters. The courses made extensive use of active and cooperative learning and a variety of other techniques designed to address a broad spectrum of learning styles. Previous reports on the study summarized the instructional methods used in the experimental course sequence, described the performance of the cohort in the introductory chemical engineering course, and examined performance and attitude differences between students from rural and urban backgrounds and between male and female students.1–4 This paper …

Ab Initio Study Of Formazan And 3-Nitroformazan, G. Buemi, F. Zuccarello, P. Venuvanalingam, M. Ramalingam, Salai Cheettu Ammal Jan 1998

Ab Initio Study Of Formazan And 3-Nitroformazan, G. Buemi, F. Zuccarello, P. Venuvanalingam, M. Ramalingam, Salai Cheettu Ammal

Faculty Publications

Formazan and 3-nitroformazan have been investigated at abinitio level (MP2/6-31G** and B3LYP/6-31G**) in all their possible conformations, for studying the various possibilities of intramolecular hydrogen bonding formation. The trans-syn-s-cis (TSSC), known also asyellowform, has been found to be the most stable conformer (at least in the gas phase) in both compounds. This particular structure is strongly stabilized by a N–H···N hydrogen bridge, which gives rise to a hexatomic chelate ring, with the possibility of a proton transfer process.This closely resembles that of malondialdehyde, previously studied, in the evolution of the …

Alpha Particle Fragments Produced From Multifragmentation Of ^{16}O+^{16}O, M.Y.H. Farag

Turkish Journal of Physics

Angular distribution for alpha particles produced from multifragmentation of ^{16}O + ^{16}O reactions are calculated using the statistical scission model. The alpha particles are sequentially emitted from long lived states of primary fragments populated in these reactions. Eight alpha particles are produced in these reactions. The calculations are carried out for different energies and for different nuclear temperatures. The variances of this multifragmentation process have been numerically calculated. The obtained results are in good agreement with previous calculations.

The Effect Of Halogen Impurities On Electrocunductivity Of Chalcogenide Glass Semicunductor Se-As System, A.I. Isaogli, S.M. Ibrahimgizi, A.R. Kamilogli Jan 1998

The Effect Of Halogen Impurities On Electrocunductivity Of Chalcogenide Glass Semicunductor Se-As System, A.I. Isaogli, S.M. Ibrahimgizi, A.R. Kamilogli

Turkish Journal of Physics

DC conductivity has been measured as function of dopant concentration for Se-As glass containing 2-10 \% As, doped with Cl or Br. It was established that concentration dependences of the conductivity have maxima for concentration of Cl or Br between $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-2}$ at \%. The effect of halogen impurities on electroconductivity of Se-As glasses has been attributed to the change of relative concentrations of the charged defect centers $(C^-_1, C^+_3)$ and to the occurrence of new $Cl^-, Br^-$ centers associated with chlorine (bromine) atoms and the compensation of the effect of arsenic on the energy spectrum of electron states.

Eects Of Post Deposition Treatments On Vacuum Evaporated Cdte Thin Films And Cds=Cdte Heterojunction Devices, Habibe Bayhan, Çiğdem Erçelebi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

$CdTe, CdS$ thin films and $n-CdS/p-CdTe$ heterostructures have been prepared by conventional vacuum evaporation technique. Some post deposition treatments to optimize the device efficiency have been analyzed and the effects of the individual process steps on the material and device properties were investigated. Annealing in air with and without $CdCl_2$-treatment decreased the $CdTe$ resistivity. The $CdCl_2$-dip followed by annealing in air at $300^{\circ}C$ for 5 min improved the grain size and polycrystalline nature of $CdTe$ thin films. Solar efficiency improvements were achieved when heterojunctions were prepared on successively treated (i.e. etched, air annealed, $CdCl_2$-processed) $CdTe$ surfaces. Etching of the $CdTe$ …

A New Probe Head Design For The Weak Field Double Resonance Spectrometer, A. Oral Salman, M. Maral Sünnetçi̇oğlu, Rıza Sungur, Gökçe Bi̇ngöl Jan 1998

A New Probe Head Design For The Weak Field Double Resonance Spectrometer, A. Oral Salman, M. Maral Sünnetçi̇oğlu, Rıza Sungur, Gökçe Bi̇ngöl

Turkish Journal of Physics

In order to observe low field $\sigma$ EPR spectra of free radicals a new probe head was designed to work at 1.53 mT. As a double resonance spectrometer, at 1.53 mT the probe head includes both NMR and EPR rf coils. To induce the $\sigma$ transitions EPR rf coil must produce an rf field parallel to the main static field. Various coil designs were examined for this aim and the best results was obtained with a solenoid NMR coil and saddle shaped single turn EPR coil design combination.

A Study Of Heavy-Ion Elastic Scattering Reactions Using A Semimicroscopic Model, A. A. Farra Jan 1998

A Study Of Heavy-Ion Elastic Scattering Reactions Using A Semimicroscopic Model, A. A. Farra

Turkish Journal of Physics

The differential cross sections for elastic scattering of ^{16}O from ^{20}Ne have been calculated using an optical potential and distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculations. In the present calculations several prescriptions were tried in the ion-ion potential. The DWBA calculations were performed employing folded real and Woods-Saxon optical potentials for the distorted waves. Inclusion of the exchange process explains the large back-angle cross sections. The elastic scattering differential cross sections are successfully described by calculations in which elastic alpha-transfer amplitudes are coherently added to direct elastic scattering amplitudes.

Effect Of Deposition Conditions On Composition Of Rf-Sputtered Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Thin Films, Ayhan Güldeste Jan 1998

Effect Of Deposition Conditions On Composition Of Rf-Sputtered Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Thin Films, Ayhan Güldeste

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of rf-magnetron sputtering conditions on as-deposited film composition using a stoichiometric Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_y (Bi-2212) target was investigated in an on-axis configuration, as the stoichiometrical control of the film is the most important parameter for the proper study of film characteristics. It was found that substrate target distance up to 55-60 mm may provide a film composition close to the target composition. The sputtering chamber pressure effecting film composition, especially in respect of Bi, is an important parameter which needs very pracise control. Bi ratio in the deposited films increases with increasing Ar pressure while Sr and Ca are not …

Flavour Violating \Tau-Decays In Magnetic Interaction And E_6 Models, A.T. Alan, Z.Z. Aydin And S. Sultansoy

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the view of future c-\tau-factories, we report an analysis of the rare decays of the \tau lepton via \tau \to \mu e \overline{e}, \tau \to e \mu \overline{\mu}, \tau \to \mu \mu \overline{\mu} and \tau \to ee \overline{e} in the two models, i.e., in Barut's magnetic interaction model (MIM) and in an E_6 model proposed by Gürsey and his collaborators. The energy distributions of one of the final leptons are given for both models. Numerical estimates reveal that these decays can be as large as 10^{-6}, which may be observed in LEP experiments or at other c-\tau factories.

Tilted Photoalignment Of A Nematic Liquid Crystal Induced By A Magnetic Field, Charles Rosenblatt, Rolfe G. Petschek Jan 1998

Tilted Photoalignment Of A Nematic Liquid Crystal Induced By A Magnetic Field, Charles Rosenblatt, Rolfe G. Petschek

Faculty Scholarship

Nematic liquid crystal cells with polyvinyl cinnamate coated substrates were subjected to ultraviolet light. When this was done in the presence of an oblique magnetic field the photoalignment was found to be temporally and thermally robust, with a large pretilt angle and weak polar anchoring. Moreover, two easy axes with equal and opposite pretilt angle were obtained, such that a magnetic field could switch the director from one easy axis to the other.

Multicolor Fringe Projection System With Enhanced 3-D Reconstruction Of Surfaces, Bernard S. Gilbert, Joel H. Blatt Jan 1998

Multicolor Fringe Projection System With Enhanced 3-D Reconstruction Of Surfaces, Bernard S. Gilbert, Joel H. Blatt

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

Most optical topology systems use a single wavelength laser for projection, using a swept spot, a moving line, or a projected grating. In a typical projected grating system, the gratings are shifted and a series of images are used to recover the 3-D shape of the target. When the series of images is analyzed in the normal phase shift manner, the resulting 2-D phase map typically has phase unwrapping problems due to noise and Nyquist limits. Surfaces with large vertical discontinuities present the biggest problem in 3-D shape recovery. This paper looks at simultaneously projecting multiple wavelengths onto a surface …

Surface Morphology Of Laser-Superheated Pb(111) And Pb(100), Z. H. Zhang, Bo Lin, X. L. Zeng, H. E. Elsayed-Ali Jan 1998

Surface Morphology Of Laser-Superheated Pb(111) And Pb(100), Z. H. Zhang, Bo Lin, X. L. Zeng, H. E. Elsayed-Ali

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The surface step density on the vicinal Pb(111) and the surface vacancy density on Pb(100) after laser superheating and melting are investigated using reflection high-energy electron diffraction. With ∼100-ps laser pulses, Pb(111) surface superheating does not significantly change the density of the steps and step-edge roughness. However, after laser surface melting, the average terrace width and the string length at the step edge become as large as those at room temperature. The average terrace width at 573 K changes from 38±15 to 64±19 Å after laser surface melting, while the average string length at the step edge changes from 90±14 …

Femtosecond Photoemission Study Of Ultrafast Electron Dynamics In Single-Crystal Au(111) Films, J. Cao, Y. Gao, H. E. Elsayed-Ali, R. J. D. Miller, D. A. Mantell Jan 1998

Femtosecond Photoemission Study Of Ultrafast Electron Dynamics In Single-Crystal Au(111) Films, J. Cao, Y. Gao, H. E. Elsayed-Ali, R. J. D. Miller, D. A. Mantell

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The energy-dependent relaxation of photoexcited electrons has been measured by time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy on single-crystal Au(111) films with thickness ranging from 150 to 3000 Å. It is found that the energy-dependent relaxation does not show any significant thickness dependence, which indicates that electron transport is a much slower dynamical process in the near-surface region than expected from bulk properties. Furthermore, lifetimes of the photoexcited electrons can be fitted well by the Fermi-liquid theory with a scaling factor plus an effective upper lifetime. This observation enables separation of electron-electron scattering, and to a lesser extent electron-phonon scattering, processes from electron-transport …

Higher Order Isotropic Velocity Grids In Lattice Methods, Pavol Pavlo, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala Jan 1998

Higher Order Isotropic Velocity Grids In Lattice Methods, Pavol Pavlo, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Kinetic lattice methods are a very attractive representation of nonlinear macroscopic systems because of their inherent parallelizability on multiple processors and their avoidance of the nonlinear convective terms. By uncoupling the velocity lattice from the spatial grid, one can employ higher order (non-space-filling) isotropic lattices-lattices which greatly enhance the stable parameter regions, particularly in thermal problems. In particular, the superiority of the octagonal lattice over previous models used in 2D (hexagonal or square) and 3D (projected face-centered hypercube) is shown.

Infrared Diode Laser Spectrometer For The Study Of Jet Cooled Gases, Anthony Bednar, Eric Barnett, Candace Lindsay, Trey Heath, Philip Williams, Mark Draganjac, Scott W. Reeve

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

We have constructed a tunable, high resolution, infrared diode laser spectrometer and combined it with a pulsed supersonic jet expansion. A modified version of the Perry multipass cell has been incorporated into the spectrometer to increase the effective absorption path length. Performance capabilities of the spectrometer are evaluated by examining ro-vibrational spectra for the carbon monoxide molecule in the five micron region of the infrared. From these measurements, an instrumental absorption sensitivity is determined. Finally, since one of our immediate goals is the infrared study of jet cooled transition metal carbonyls, we present high resolution data obtained by entraining the …

Continuous Monitoring Of Star's Main Time Projection Chamber, Wilfred J. Braithwaite, Edwin S. Braithwaite Jan 1998

Continuous Monitoring Of Star's Main Time Projection Chamber, Wilfred J. Braithwaite, Edwin S. Braithwaite

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

STAR refers to the Solenoidal Tracking instrument At RHIC (the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider). For momenta above 500 MeV/c charged kaons are not separated from pions within STAR's Main TPC (Time Projection Chamber) by track density alone and they are poorly separated below 500 MeV/c, even when using information from other sources like the vertex tracker. Within the TPC large numbers of kaons and pions decay into muons (and undetected neutrinos). Earlier work has shown parent pions and kaons whose decays are detected within a TPC may be distinguished uniquely from each other in a two-dimensional plot of muon-emission angle …

Using Labview To Synchronize An Infrared Diode Laser Spectrometer With A Pulsed Supersonic Jet Expansion, Philip Williams, Anthony Bednar, Eric Barnett, Scott W. Reeve

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

We describe software developed with LabVIEW to provide operational control for an in-house infrared diode laser spectrometer that has been combined with a pulsed supersonic jet expansion sample source. Data were collected with this instrument using a modified version of the rapid-scanning method. A prerequisite in employing the rapid-scan detection scheme is that the modulation used to scan the laser be synchronized in time with the electrical signal used to trigger the pulsed gas valve. Software performance was evaluated by examining a series of rotation vibration (ro-vibrational) spectra for the carbon monoxide molecule in the five micron region of the …
