A Phase Diagram Of The Nematic, Smectic A And Smectic C Phases In Liquid Crystals, S. Sali̇hoğlu, H. Yurtseven Jan 1998

A Phase Diagram Of The Nematic, Smectic A And Smectic C Phases In Liquid Crystals, S. Sali̇hoğlu, H. Yurtseven

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study we have obtained a phase diagram for the nematic, smectic A and smectic C phases in liquid crystals. For this phase diagram we have studied two different mean field models for a mixture of liquid crystalline system. In our first model we consider the NC and AC transitions as first order, and the NA transition as a second order. In our second model we consider the NC and NA transitions as first order, and the AC transition as a second order.


A Mean Field Model For The Coexistence Of Nematic, Smectic A And Smectic C Phases In Liquid Crystals, H. Yurtseven, S. Sali̇hoğlu Jan 1998

A Mean Field Model For The Coexistence Of Nematic, Smectic A And Smectic C Phases In Liquid Crystals, H. Yurtseven, S. Sali̇hoğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present here a mean field model for the nematic-smectic A-smectic C coexistence of a liquid crystal near the NAC point which is a multicritical point. The critical exponents calculated from our model are tricritical expoenents for the order parameters, susceptibility and the specific heat. Our results show that if the NAC point is the tricritical point, then our mean field model describes adequately the liquid crystalline system in the coexistence region of the nematic-smectic A-smectic C phases.

Factorization For High-Energy Scattering, Ian Balitsky

Physics Faculty Publications

I demonstrate that the amplitude for the high-energy scattering can be factorized into a product of two independent functional integrals over “fast” and “slow” fields which interact by means of Wilson-line operators—gauge factors ordered along the straight lines.


The Submilimeter-Wave Rotational Spectrum Of Isopropyl Alcohol, C. Qajar, S. Musaev Jan 1998

The Submilimeter-Wave Rotational Spectrum Of Isopropyl Alcohol, C. Qajar, S. Musaev

Turkish Journal of Physics

The submilimeter-wave spectrum of the {\em trans} isopropyl alcohol was studied in the frequency range from 240 to 480 GHz. More than 170 lines were assigned to ground state transition. The identification of the high $J$ transitions was checked by centrifugal distortion analysis. The frequencies of all transitions were least squares fitted to the Watson's Hamiltonian, including two $P^8$ terms. The ground-state rotational constants are (in MHz) A = 8489.0150, B = 8041.9182, C = 4765.2326, which yield an asymmetry parameter $\kappa = 0.75986663$.

Quaternionic Roots Of E 8 Related Coxeter Graphs And Quasicrystals, Mehmet Koca, Nazife Özdeş Koca, Ramazan Koç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The lattice matching of two sets of quaternionic roots of $F_4$ leads to quaternionic roots of $E_8$ which has a decomposition $H_4 + \sigma H_4$ where the Coxeter graph $H_4$ is represented by the 120 quaternionic elements of the binary icosahedral group. The 30 pure imaginary quaternions constitute the roots of $H_3$ which has a natural extension to $H_3 + \sigma H_3$ describing the root system of the Lie algebra $D_6$. It is noted that there exist three lattices in 6-dimensions whose point group $W(D_6)$ admits the icosahedral symmetry $H_3$ as a subgroup, the roots of which describe the mid-points …

The Structure Of (001) Csl Twist Boundaries In Fcc Metals, A. Ghafoor, S.A. Ahmad, B.A.S. Faridi

Turkish Journal of Physics

Computer simulation techniques based on discrete lattice approach and empirical many-body potentials have been used to study the structure and energy of $\Sigma = 5$, and $\Sigma = 13$ coincident site lattice (001) twist boundaries in three fcc metals. Energy computed for $\Sigma = 5$ boundary in copper is 17.5 \% less than the earlier result obtained by using pair potential. However the present calculations of twist boundary energies are somewhat higher than the results obtained using embedded atom method.


The Energy Spectra Of Gaas/Al_Xga_{1-X}As Quantum Dots, Mohammad El-Said, M. Abu Saa Jan 1998

The Energy Spectra Of Gaas/Al_Xga_{1-X}As Quantum Dots, Mohammad El-Said, M. Abu Saa

Turkish Journal of Physics

The energy expressions for QD presented in high- and low-magnetic fields are calculated. An interpolation formula between the energies of the quantum dot in both limits is proposed. The formula is implemented to produce the energy spectra of the parabolic quantum dot in the presence of a magnetic field of arbitrary strength. The transitions in the angular momenta of the ground state energy of interacting electrons confined in the quantum dot as a function of magnetic field strength is studied. A good agreement is obtained when our results are tested against exact numerical work.

Π-Systems As Lithium/Hydrogen Bond Acceptors: Some Theoretical Observations, Salai Cheettu Ammal, P. Venuvanalingam

Faculty Publications

Ab initio calculations at the Hartree–Fock and correlated levels and density functional theory calculations have been performed with 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p)basis sets on LiF and HF complexes of benzene, ethylene, and acetylene. Complex binding energies have been corrected for basis set superposition error, and zero point energy corrections have been done on Hartree–Fock binding energies. Computed results indicate that the complexes exist in different conformations and among them those with π-lithium and π-hydrogen bonds are the most stable. π-lithium bonds are stronger than π-hydrogen bonds. The computed binding energies and geometry of HF complexes correlate well with the available experimental …

Ab Initio And Dft Investigations Of Lithium/Hydrogen Bonded Complexes Of Trimethylamine, Dimethyl Ether And Dimethyl Sulfide, Salai Cheettu Ammal, P. Venuvanalingam

Faculty Publications

Ab initio and DFT computations have been carried out on LiF and HF complexes of a set of n-donors viz. trimethylamine, dimethyl ether and dimethyl sulfide with a 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. The effect of correlation has been included with MP2, MP4 and DFT calculations. NBO analyses of the wavefunctions have been performed to examine the intermolecular interaction at the orbital level. Calculations reveal that these donors form strong n→σ* complexes and computed binding energies of the (CH3)2O···HF complex agree very well with the experimental binding energies from IR spectroscopy. LiF forms stronger complexes than HF, …


Self-Consistent Effective Binary Interaction Approximation For Strongly Coupled Multifluid Dynamics, John D. Ramshaw Jan 1998

Self-Consistent Effective Binary Interaction Approximation For Strongly Coupled Multifluid Dynamics, John D. Ramshaw

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

An improved self-consistent effective binary diffusion approximation for multicomponent diffusion was recently described [1]. Here we develop an analogous self-consistent effective binary interaction (SCEBI) approximation for simplifying multifluid dynamical descriptions in which each fluid is strongly coupled to the other fluids by pairwise frictional forces. The net drag force on each fluid is the summation of the drag forces due to each of the other fluids. This summation is approximated by a single term proportional to the velocity of the fluid in question relative to an appropriately weighted average velocity. This approximation permits an explicit numerical solution for the fluid …


Ab Initio Single- And Multiple-Scattering Exafs Debye-Waller Factors: Raman And Infrared Data, Nicholas Dimakis, Grant Bunker Jan 1998

Ab Initio Single- And Multiple-Scattering Exafs Debye-Waller Factors: Raman And Infrared Data, Nicholas Dimakis, Grant Bunker

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

The extended x-ray-absorption fine structure (EXAFS) Debye-Waller factor is an essential term appearing in the EXAFS equation that accounts for the molecular structural and thermal disorder of a sample. Single- and multiple-scattering Debye-Waller factors must be known accurately to obtain quantitative agreement between theory and experiment. Since the total number of fitting parameters that can be varied is limited in general, data cannot support fitting of all relevant multiple-scattering Debye-Waller factors. Calculation of the Debye-Waller factors is typically done using the correlated Debye approximation, where a single parameter (Debye temperature) is varied. However, this procedure cannot account in general for …


A Data Analysis Approach For Detecting Gravitational Waves From Psr 0437-4715, Soumya Mohanty, I. S. Heng, David Blair, S. Dhurandhar, M. Tovar, E. Ivanov Jan 1998

A Data Analysis Approach For Detecting Gravitational Waves From Psr 0437-4715, Soumya Mohanty, I. S. Heng, David Blair, S. Dhurandhar, M. Tovar, E. Ivanov

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

A search for gravitational waves from the millisecond pulsar PSR 0437-4715 has been initiated using the bar detector NIOBE which is located at the University of Western Australia. We present a detailed report on the data analysis algorithm, called phase plane rotation, which will be used in this search. A discussion of the actual implementation of the algorithm is presented. The data analysis algorithm mentioned above has the advantage that it requires minimal changes to the already-existing data acquisition facility of NIOBE but, at the same time, it is as efficient as optimal filtering in detecting a signal. This …


Critical Casimir Forces Between Spherical Particles In Fluids, Andreas Hanke, F. Schlesener, E. Eisenriegler, S. Dietrich Jan 1998

Critical Casimir Forces Between Spherical Particles In Fluids, Andreas Hanke, F. Schlesener, E. Eisenriegler, S. Dietrich

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Long-ranged correlations in a fluid close to its critical point Tc cause distinct forces between immersed colloidal particles and the container walls. We calculate such a force and its temperature dependence for the generic case of a spherical particle located at a distance D from a planar wall and find that the force attains a maximum at a temperature Tmax(D) above Tc, which facilitates quantitative experimental tests. The corresponding effective pair interaction between the colloidal particles themselves, potentially leading to aggregation, is also discussed.


Diode Lasers And Their Application For Raman Spectroscopy, Richard Bandell Homard Jan 1998

Diode Lasers And Their Application For Raman Spectroscopy, Richard Bandell Homard

Theses and Dissertations

Diode lasers are semiconductor devices and as such are small, relatively inexpensive, and modest in power requirements. They are being used more and more in a variety of spectroscopic measurement systems. Diodes can be configured to provide a single wavelength for Raman measurement or be tuned over a 10-20 nm range for absorption studies. Most commercial diode-based Raman systems currently employ lasers with output powers in the 100-1000 mW range. There are obvious strategic and economic advantages associated with low power diode chemical analyzers, especially those being developed for on-line industrial and environmental monitoring. A diode-based Raman measurement system which …

Temperature Dependence Of Step Density On Vicinal Pb(111), Z. H. Zhang, H. E. Elsayed-Ali Jan 1998

Temperature Dependence Of Step Density On Vicinal Pb(111), Z. H. Zhang, H. E. Elsayed-Ali

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The temperature dependence of step density on the vicinal Pb(111) surface is investigated using reflection high-energy electron diffraction. When the temperature is increased from 323 to 590 K. the average terrace width and the average string length at the step edge decrease from 85±25 to 37±16 Å and from 220±33 to 25±8 Å, respectively. Thermal step collapse on the Pb(111) surface near its bulk melting temperature is not observed. Above 530±7 K, the change in the string length at the step edge with temperature becomes small, and the intensity of the (00) beam is significantly decreased. We conclude that partial …

Biomineralization Of Magnetic Iron Minerals In Bacteria, Richard B. Frankel, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Dirk Schϋler Jan 1998

Biomineralization Of Magnetic Iron Minerals In Bacteria, Richard B. Frankel, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Dirk Schϋler

Physics

Magnetotactic bacteria orient and migrate along magnetic field lines. This ability is based on a submicron assembly of single-magnetic domain iron mineral particles that elegantly solves the problem of how to construct a magnetic dipole that is large enough to be oriented in the geomagnetic field at ambient temperature, yet fit inside a micron-sized cell. The solution is based on the ability of the bacteria to accumulate high concentrations of iron, and control the deposition, size and orientation of a specific iron mineral at specific locations in the cell.

Thermodynamics And Structure Of Simple Liquid Metals Calculated Using An Analytic Pair Potential, Serap Dalgiç, Seyfettin Dalgiç, M. Tomak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The analytic interatomic pair potential for simple metals is derived from first principles using second order pseudopotential theory by Pettifor and Ward . It is developed using the Heine-Abarenkov pseudopotential for simple metals and applied to the calculations of the structural and thermodynamic properties of liquid metals. The corresponding liquid metal structure is calculated using the random phase approximation and the hypernetted-chain formulation. The long-wavelength limit S(0) of the structure factor of liquid metals using the hard-sphere system as reference is also investigated. The calculated thermodynamic and structural properties using the real space formalism are in better agreement with experimental …


Multiple Scales Method For A Matrix Kdv Equation, Mehmet Naci Özer Jan 1998

Multiple Scales Method For A Matrix Kdv Equation, Mehmet Naci Özer

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper the method of multiple scales is used to derive an integrable matrix non-linear Schrödinger equation (MNLS) as an amplitude equation from the Matrix Korteweg-de Vries equation (MKdV) associated with symmetric spaces. Then the integrability of the MNLS equation is deduced by the derivation of the spectral problem for the MNLS equation from the spectral problem for the MKdV equation.

Space Charge Limited Current In Films Obtained In Glow Discharge Plasma, M.M. Akhmedov, M.K. Kerimov, B.A. Suleimanov, S.A. Mansimov

Turkish Journal of Physics

The electrical current in thin films obtained by the polymerization of acetonitrile in glow discharge on a heated substrate were investigated in order to determine the mechanism of electrical conduction. The results of the field dependence, sample thickness dependence of the dark conductivity, supported by the results of photocurrent measurements, suggest an exponential energy distribution of traps inside the band gap of the polymer.


Eect Of Sintering Time On Sb Added Bipbsrcacuo Superconducting Ceramics, K. Kocabaş Jan 1998

Eect Of Sintering Time On Sb Added Bipbsrcacuo Superconducting Ceramics, K. Kocabaş

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, superconducting Sb doped BiPbSrCaCuO ceramics with a fixed nominal composition were prepared and sintered at 850^oC for different periods. The structural phases of the sintered ceramics were determined by means of the measurements of the resistivity-temperature behaviour and of the XRD analysis. Sb doping along with Pb doping in the BiSrCaCuO ceramics was observed to increase the volume fraction of the high $T_c$ phase, the onset temperature and the critical temperature $T_c$. The critical temperature for the 100 hour sintered sample was 4K higher than that of the 60 hour sintered sample.

This paper presents the first analysis of diffractive photon dissociation events in deep inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA in which the proton in the final state is detected and its momentum measured. The events are selected by requiring a scattered proton in the ZEUS leading proton spectrometer (LPS) with xL > 0.97, where xL is the fraction of the incoming proton beam momentum carried by the scattered proton. The use of the LPS significantly reduces the contamination from events with diffractive dissociation of the proton into low mass states and allows a direct measurement of t, the square of the four-momentum …


Diffractive Dijet Cross Sections In Photoproduction At Hera, J. Breitweg, M. Derrick, D. Krakauer, S. Magill, D. Mikunas, B. Musgrave, J. Repond, R. Stanek, R. L. Talaga, R. Yoshida, H.

Faculty Publications

Differential dijet cross sections have been measured with the ZEUS detector for photoproduction events in which the hadronic final state containing the jets is separated with respect to the outgoing proton direction by a large rapidity gap. The cross section has been measured as a function of the fraction of the photon (xγOBS) and pomeron (βOBS) momentum participating in the production of the dijet system. The observed xγOBS dependence shows evidence for the presence of a resolved-as well as a direct-photon component. The measured cross section dσ/dβOBS increases as βOBS increases indicating that there is a sizeable contribution to dijet …

The shape of jets produced in quasi-real photon-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies in the range 134-277 GeV has been measured using the hadronic energy flow. The measurement was done with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Jets are identified using a cone algorithm in the η - φ plane with a cone radius of one unit. Measured jet shapes both in inclusive jet and dijet production with transverse energies EjetT > 14 GeV are presented. The jet shape broadens as the jet pseudorapidity (ηjet) increases and narrows as EjetT increases. In dijet photoproduction, the jet shapes have been measured separately for samples …

Photon diffractive dissociation, γp → Xp, has been studied at HERA with the ZEUS detector using ep interactions where the virtuality Q2 of the exchanged photon is smaller than 0.02 GeV2. The squared four-momentum t exchanged at the proton vertex was determined in the range 0.073 < \t\ < 0.40 GeV2 by measuring the scattered proton in the ZEUS Leading Proton Spectrometer. In the photonproton centre-of-mass energy interval 176 < W < 225 GeV and for masses of the dissociated photon system 4 < Mx < 32 GeV, the t distribution has an exponential shape, dN/d\t\ ∝ exp (-b\t\), with a slope parameter b = 6.8 ± 0.9 (stat.) +1.2-1.1 (syst.) GeV-2.


Aerosol Particle Scavenging By Fog And Haze Droplets, Josef Podzimek Jan 1998

Aerosol Particle Scavenging By Fog And Haze Droplets, Josef Podzimek

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Droplet imprints in thin gelatin layers have been used for the investigation of coarse particles embedded in fog (haze) droplets in comparison to interstitial particles. Droplet samples were taken in less polluted regions of Missouri and Illinois and also in more polluted marine-urban environment in Italy. Considerable differences in particle size distribution and particle location inside the droplets have been found in samples collected on four sampling sites. The deduced relationships can be applied for the description of the aerosol scavenging process in fogs. The pollution of fog (haze) droplets may be related to the droplet mean volume radius and …

Steady Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic Flow Near A Point Of Reattachment, J. M. Dorrepaal, S. Moosavizadeh

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

The oblique stagnation-point flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is a highly nonlinear problem whose solution is of interest even in the simplest of geometries. The problem models the flow of a viscous conducting fluid near a point where a separation vortex reattaches itself to a rigid boundary. A similarity solution exists which reduces the problem to a coupled system of four ordinary differential equations which can be integrated numerically. The problem has two independent parameters, the conductivity of the fluid and the strength of the magnetic field. Solutions are tabulated for a …
