Thermodynamic Properties Of Quasi-Equilibrium Magnons In Crystalline Bulk Materials And Thin Films, Ahmed Sayed Hassan, A. M. El-Badry Jan 2009

Thermodynamic Properties Of Quasi-Equilibrium Magnons In Crystalline Bulk Materials And Thin Films, Ahmed Sayed Hassan, A. M. El-Badry

Turkish Journal of Physics

The temperature dependence of spontaneous magnetization and specific heat for a system of magnons are investigated systematically. The correspondence of this system with the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenon is used. Calculations are performed for both crystalline bulk materials and thin films. The calculated results are consistent with the available experimental data, indicating that our suggested approach is a suitable one for describing the thermodynamic properties for the magnon system. The thermodynamical parameters for magnons system have many similarities with the thermodynamical parameters for boson atomic gas. Results for crystalline bulk material can be used as a zeroth order approximation in any …

Benthic Faunal Assemblages Of The Holocene Sediments From The Southwest Black Sea Shelf, Demet Ongan, Oya Algan, Sevi̇nç Kapan Yeşi̇lyurt, Ati̇ke Nazi̇k, Mustafa Ergi̇n, Christ Eastoe

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Benthic faunal content (benthic foraminifera, mollusca and ostracoda) of sediment cores from the SW Black Sea shelf were examined. Based on the vertical distribution of abundance and diversity of the benthic fauna, three benthic assemblages were distinguished. These assemblages are BF1, BF2 and BF3, and reflect the changes in bottom water from the termination of the Neoeuxinian period to present. BF1 displays high abundance and diversity in the surroundings of the Bosporus channel, diminishing in the shelf sediments further away from the channel. In the Mid-Shelf and Outer Shelf, it displays low abundance and low diversity. BF1 which started to …

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and optical properties of zinc-blende Si_x Ge_{1-x} C alloys by application of the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. In this approach, the generalized gradient approximation was used for the exchange-correlation energy which is based on the optimization of total energy and corresponding potential. The effect of composition on lattice constants, bulk modulus, band gap, real part of the dielectric function \varepsilon \left(0 \right) and refractive index n(0) was investigated. These parameters were found to depend nonlinearly on alloy composition x, except the bulk modulus and the lattice parameter, which …


Dielectric Properties Of Liquid Systems: The Ideal Complex Permittivity In Liquid Mixtures, Adrian H. Buep Jan 2009

Dielectric Properties Of Liquid Systems: The Ideal Complex Permittivity In Liquid Mixtures, Adrian H. Buep

A general definition for ideal complex permittivity in a liquid mixture was reached by considering a thermodynamically ideal mixture under the effect of an applied harmonic electric field. The resulting definition is independent of any particular dielectric model, as well as the polarity of the components.


Heavy Ion Reactions Producing A Heavier Deformed Nucleus And Free Nucleons, Ahmed Osman Jan 2009

Heavy Ion Reactions Producing A Heavier Deformed Nucleus And Free Nucleons, Ahmed Osman

Turkish Journal of Physics

Carbon induced heavy ion reactions on the heavy ^{197}Au target are considered. The statistical scission model is used to calculate this fission process. In the present considered reactions, the process leads to the fragmentation of only one deformed heavy fragment and few nucleons. Angular distributions of the fission fragments are numerically calculated for different values of the incident energies in the range 64-104 MeV. The present theoretical calculations of the differential cross-sections are in good agreements with experimental data for the carbon incident energy 84 A MeV. The effective variance of this fission process is also calculated. The present numerically …


Effect Of A Wiggler Magnetic Field And The Ponderomotive Force On The Second Harmonic Generation In Laser-Plasma Interactions, Hassan Ranjbar Askari, Maryam Noroozi Jan 2009

Effect Of A Wiggler Magnetic Field And The Ponderomotive Force On The Second Harmonic Generation In Laser-Plasma Interactions, Hassan Ranjbar Askari, Maryam Noroozi

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, we consider second harmonic generation and its phase-matching in an underdense plasma in the presence of a wiggler magnetic field. Wiggler magnetic field plays both a dynamic role in producing the traverse harmonic current and a kinematical role in ensuring phase-matching. The inertial ponderomotive force \rho (\vec{u} . \vec \nabla) \vec{u} is a source of harmonic generation. \vec{u} beats with itself to produce a different harmonic. The inertial ponderomotive force can also affect the efficiency of second harmonic generation; and its effect on second harmonic generation is also considered.

First-Principles Study Of Cubic B_Xin_{1-X}N Alloys, Abdelhadi Lachebi, Mohamed Sehil, Hamza Abid Jan 2009

First-Principles Study Of Cubic B_Xin_{1-X}N Alloys, Abdelhadi Lachebi, Mohamed Sehil, Hamza Abid

Turkish Journal of Physics

The first ab-initio calculations were carried out for the electronic and structural properties of BInN boron ternary alloys. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method was employed within density functional theory (DFT). We have investigated the lattice parameters and band gap energies. The lattice constant a exhibits a small downward bowing. The calculated band gap variation gives a small bowing in good agreement with the experimental reports. We notice a direct to indirect band gap crossover at x = 0.83.

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Major, trace element and K-Ar age determinations are reported for a suite from the Yamadağı volcanics in the Eastern Anatolia. The exposed rocks mainly consist of medium-potassium calc-alkaline basaltic andesites, andesites and dacites. Petrographical data exhibit disequilibrium mineral textures, such as resorption of the ferromagnesian phases, clinopyroxene-mantled orthopyroxene, and sieve-textured plagioclases. The Yamadağı volcanics have a calk-alkaline character, and trace element characteristics exhibit that the volcanics resemble subduction zone volcanics and/or volcanics assimilated by continental crust. K/Ar age determinations show that the Yamadağı volcanics were formed during the 12 ± 0.5 - 15 ± 0.5 Ma time interval. Geochemical characteristics …

Insulation Condition Assessment Of Power Transformers Using Accelerated Ageing Tests, Mohammad Mirzaie, Ahmad Gholami, Hamid Reza Tayebi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Thermal stress due to losses and environment temperature causes degradation to paper/oil insulation systems in transformers, even at operating temperature. Experience indicates that thermal ageing of oil and paper in power transformers leads to the change of some insulation characteristics. In this paper, insulating papers immersed in oil have been acceleratory aged at 140, 150, and 160 °C under laboratory conditions. Some of the oil properties, such as water content, breakdown voltage, acidity, together with the aged insulating paper properties such as electric strength, dielectric dissipation factor and tensile strength were measured and analyzed. Also, insulation system conditions under thermal …

Softcomputing Identification Techniques Of Asynchronous Machine Parameters: Evolutionary Strategy And Chemotaxis Algorithm, Nouri Benaïdja

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Softcomputing techniques are receiving attention as optimisation techniques for many industrial applications. Although these techniques eliminate the need for derivatives computation, they require much work to adjust their parameters at the stage of research and development. Issues such as speed, stability, and parameters convergence remain much to be investigated. This paper discusses the application of the method of reference model to determine parameters of asynchronous machines using two optimisation techniques. Softcomputing techniques used in this paper are evolutionary strategy and the chemotaxis algorithm. Identification results using the two techniques are presented and compared with respect to the conventional simplex technique …

Pca Based Protection Algorithm For Transformer Internal Faults, Erdal Kiliç, Okan Özgönenel, Ömer Usta, Dave Thomas

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper a new protection scheme is introduced to detect and identify transformer winding faults. The new approach is based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) using radial basis functions (RBFs) and the principal component analysis (PCA). The nonlinear system's input and output data is manipulated without considering any model of the system. This approach is used to detect and identify internal short circuit faults of a three phase custom built transformer. The suggested technique is also able to distinguish between the fault and magnetizing inrush current. The test studies carried out shows that the proposed method leads to satisfactory …
