High Field Conduction In Thin Films Of A-(Ge_{.20}{Se0}_{.80})_{1-X}{Pb}_X Glassy Alloys, Rachna Singh, Santosh Kumar Jan 2008

High Field Conduction In Thin Films Of A-(Ge_{.20}{Se0}_{.80})_{1-X}{Pb}_X Glassy Alloys, Rachna Singh, Santosh Kumar

Turkish Journal of Physics

The present paper reports d.c. conductivity measurements at high electric fields in vacuum evaporated amorphous thin films of (Ge_{.20}Se0_{.80})_{1-x}Pb_x (where x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.10) glassy alloys. Current-Voltage (I-V) Characteristics have been measured at various fixed temperatures. In these samples, at low electric fields, ohmic behavior is observed. However, at high electric fields (E \sim 10^4 V/cm), non-ohmic behavior is observed. An analysis of the experimental data confirms the presence of space charge limited conduction (SCLC) in the glassy materials studied in the present case. From the fitting of the data to the theory of SCLC, the …


Path Integral Evaluation Of A Time-Dependent Oscillator In An External Field, Akpan Ndem Ikot, Eno Etim Ituen, Ime. E. Essien, Louis Ete Akpabio Jan 2008

Path Integral Evaluation Of A Time-Dependent Oscillator In An External Field, Akpan Ndem Ikot, Eno Etim Ituen, Ime. E. Essien, Louis Ete Akpabio

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Lagrangian of a system describing the dynamical behaviour of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator is modified and then used to evaluate the Feynman path integral of the oscillator. The path integral of the time-dependent oscillator is shown to reduce to the time-independent within certain limits.


Electric Dipole Oscillator Strengths Of Boron, Gökhan Tekeli̇, Şule Ateş, Gülteki̇n Çeli̇k Jan 2008

Electric Dipole Oscillator Strengths Of Boron, Gökhan Tekeli̇, Şule Ateş, Gülteki̇n Çeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Physics

Electric dipole oscillator strengths for both individual and multiplet lines between some excited levels of atomic boron are calculated using the Weakest Bound Electron Potential Model Theory (WBEPMT). The Numerical Coulomb Approximation wave functions for expectation values of radii in all states and experimental ionization energies have been employed to determinate the parameters. The obtained results from this work agree very well with the accepted values taken from NIST, Multi-Configurational Hartree-Fock (MCHF) results and atomic line data.

Masses Of Charged Leptons And Gauge Mixing Parameters, Cvavb Chandra Raju Jan 2008

Masses Of Charged Leptons And Gauge Mixing Parameters, Cvavb Chandra Raju

Turkish Journal of Physics

It is shown that the electroweak physics of the electron and the muon is based on the left-right gauge model with the mixing parameters 0.2254 and 0.2746. These mixing parameters are determined by the masses of the electron and the muon. The electroweak physics of the Tau-lepton and its left-handed neutrino is based on the gauge group SU(2)_L XU(1).The mixing parameter for this gauge model is 0.5 and is determined by the mass of the charged Tau-lepton. The W and Z bosons that mediate the electroweak physics of Tau-lepton and its neutrino have masses 173.5 GeV and 245.4 GeV, respectively.


Nonlinear Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum States As Realization Of Su(1,1) Lie Algebra, Gamal Mohamed Abd Al-Kader, Abdel-Shafy Fahmy Obada Jan 2008

Nonlinear Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum States As Realization Of Su(1,1) Lie Algebra, Gamal Mohamed Abd Al-Kader, Abdel-Shafy Fahmy Obada

Turkish Journal of Physics

Nonlinear extensions of the two-mode squeezed vacuum states (NTMSVS's) are constructed and special cases of these states are discussed. We have constructed the NTMSVS's realization of SU(1,1) Lie algebra. Two cases of the definition are considered for unitary and non-unitary deformation operator functions. Some nonclassical properties of these states are discussed.


Stability Of Hickson Groups Of Galaxies, Ibrahim Selim, Naseer Iqbal Jan 2008

Stability Of Hickson Groups Of Galaxies, Ibrahim Selim, Naseer Iqbal

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work we have used the Viril theorem to investigate the dynamical stability of Hickson compact groups of galaxies. The average luminous mass of the galaxies member is approximately 1.3 \times 0^{11} M_{\odot} and average total luminous mass of group is approximately 4.6 \times 0^{11} M_{\odot}. The virial theorem has used to estimate the virial mass. The average Virial mass of group of galaxies is approximately 6.3 \times 0^{13} M_{\odot} This is attributed to the presence of large amount of dark matter which is more than 90% in this group. Hickson compact groups of galaxies are unstable system due …

A Linguistic Analysis Of Chat Reference Conversations With 18–24-Year-Old College Students, Jack M. Maness Jan 2008

A Linguistic Analysis Of Chat Reference Conversations With 18–24-Year-Old College Students, Jack M. Maness

University Libraries: Faculty Scholarship

Thirty-one chat reference conversations were linguistically analyzed, compared to twenty-three instant messaging (IM) conversations held between students, and further correlated to students’ satisfaction with the reference interaction. Conversations between librarians and students in chat reference are more formal than those solely involving students, and the use of some linguistic patterns are correlated to user satisfaction.
