The Effect Of Phenylboronic Acid-Based Self-Assembled Monolayers On Theperformance Of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (Ofets), Tuğbahan Yilmaz Aliç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dielectric/semiconductor interface is one of the most important components strongly affecting the performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). To improve OFET parameters, we applied a series of phenylboronic acid derivatives as self-assembly molecules between dielectric and organic semiconductor layers. Device performance parameters, especially threshold voltage, current on/off ratio, and subthreshold slope, were improved. To elucidate the mechanism, dielectric/semiconductor interfaces were analyzed using atomic force microscope and contact angle techniques.


Nonlinear Frequency Conversion Of Light Inside A Microcavity, Emre Yüce Jan 2019

Nonlinear Frequency Conversion Of Light Inside A Microcavity, Emre Yüce

Changing the color of light in a small mode volume is essential for applications that require on-chip operation. Microcavities are profound structures given their property to confine light in a small mode volume. Here, I numerically investigate the frequency conversion of light in a microcavity and show that the frequency converted light intensity is distinguished from an open medium such as an optical fiber or a nonlinear crystal. I observe that the frequency converted light intensity increases with increased rate of change of the refractive index of the microcavity. Notably, this study shows that the intensity of the frequency converted …

Method For Determination Of Water Hammer Conditions And Consequences Inpressurizers Of Nuclear Reactors, Vladimir Skalozubov, Oleg Chulkin, Denis Pirkovskiy, Igor Kozlov, Yuriy Komarov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Results of known experimental and computed studies of conditions for water hammers (WHs) in reactor pressurizers are analyzed. It is found that when emergency opening of pilot-operated safety valves of the pressurizers of nuclear reactors happens, WHs can be generated on pressurizer elements, and amplitudes of hydrodynamic load pulses significantly override the limiting values. An original method for determination of the WH conditions and consequences in the case of emergency filling of the pressurizers of nuclear reactors is proposed. Unlike the traditional Joukowski formula, the presented method considers the key features and effects of the WH conditions and consequences in …

Application Of The Fractional Oscillator Model To Describe Damped Vibrations, Sergo Rekhviashvili, Arsen Pskhu, Praveen Agarwal, Shilpi Jain

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider a model of damped vibrations based on fractional differentiation. The model given is completely consistent with the classical model of vibration with viscous damping. We find the relation between the order of fractional differentiation in the equation of motion and Q-factor of an oscillator. The proposed approach seems more appropriate for the physical nature of the described system. The experiment with a vibrating piezoelectric plate, performed as part of the study, showed good agreement with the model and confirmed that the fractional oscillator model can be used to describe strongly damped vibrations.


Comparison Of Geometric And Drive-Induced Nonlinearities In Doubly Clamped,Thermoelastic Nanoelectromechanical Systems, Mehmet Seli̇m Hanay Jan 2019

Comparison Of Geometric And Drive-Induced Nonlinearities In Doubly Clamped,Thermoelastic Nanoelectromechanical Systems, Mehmet Seli̇m Hanay

Turkish Journal of Physics

The performance of resonant sensors based on nanoelectromechanical systems depends critically on the maximum amplitude of oscillation reached in the linear regime. The maximum linear amplitude is determined by nonlinear mechanisms that can originate from the material, geometric and transduction mechanism related factors. Here we compare the two competing effects, the geometric and drive-induced nonlinearities, for a commonly used device family, the thermoelastically driven, doubly clamped beams. We find that the geometric nonlinearity dominates for most of the device designs used in the literature, however the drive-induced nonlinearity becomes the determining factor for thicker beams with small electrode lengths.


Localizable Entanglement Of Isotropic Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 Chain, İzzet Paruğ Duru, Şahi̇n Aktaş Jan 2019

Localizable Entanglement Of Isotropic Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 Chain, İzzet Paruğ Duru, Şahi̇n Aktaş

Turkish Journal of Physics

The bounds of entanglement on antiferromagnetic (AF) isotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain including dipole- dipole interaction (D) were investigated. The Quantum Monte Carlo method based on loop algorithm was employed to calculate the two-spin and single-spin expectation values mediating the lower and upper bounds. It was revealed that D and Bz (the applied magnetic field) were pivotal parameters in controlling either entanglement creation/extinction or entanglement enhancement/weakening. Rival regions indicated a revival phenomenon depending on the temperature for various strengths of D which also showed a nonmonotonic behavior under certain Bz identifying critical points. Even if thermal agitations break the stability of …

The Novel Synthesis And Luminescence Studies Of Cuo And Fe2 O3 Embedded(8-Hydroxyquinoline)Zinc Nanocomposites, Abraham Kutticheril Eapen, Paulose Thomas

Turkish Journal of Physics

The present study investigates the synthesis of novel luminescent polymer nanocomposite through the incorporation of CuO and Fe2 O3 into a C18 H12 N2 O2 Zn host polymer matrix. The observed green electroluminescence behavior originates mainly from the shift in the HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the polymer matrix caused by the inclusion of oxidized metal/oxygen ions from the incorporated metal oxides into the pyridyl and phenyl groups of the host polymer. The existence of oxidized metal/oxygen ionic states in the polymer matrix is successfully confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis. The FTIR analysis is utilized to verify the presence of …

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, nanocrystalline ternary Ni-Co-Cu/ITO deposits with different compositions were produced by using the electrochemical deposition technique from a sulfate-based bath solution with different Co ion concentrations. It was revealed that an increment in the Co ion concentration gives rise to an enhancement in the Co content but leads to a decrement in the Ni and Cu contents of the deposit structure. The Co-Cu and Ni-Cu exhibited normal codeposition behavior, while the Co-Ni showed anomalous codeposition behavior irrespective of the bath concentration. The change in the degree of the anomalous codeposition was also investigated according to the Co ion …

Turkish Journal of Physics

D-dimensional radial Schrödinger equation (SE) for sextic potential is solved using the extended Nikiforov-Uvarov method analytically. Energy eigenvalue and eigenfunction solutions are achieved systematically. It is also presented that the D-dimensional radial SE is transformed to biconfluent Heun equation (BHE). Therefore the eigenfunction solutions for the potential are attained in terms of biconfluent Heun polynomials when the condition of existence of polynomial solution of BHE is provided simultaneously.

The Behaviour Of The Diamagnetic Current Modified Mri In Different Rotationprofiles, Suzan Doğan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability (MRI) has been widely accepted as an efficient mechanism for transporting angular momentum radially outward in the discs. Previously, we have shown the triggering effect of the magnetization currents and the gradients produced by these currents on MRI for Keplerian discs. In this work, we examine the properties of the diamagnetic current modified MRI for the discs where the epicyclic frequencies deviate from Keplerian behaviour. We show that the diamagnetic effect modifies the instability both for an increasing and for a decreasing angular momentum with radius. The novel unstable region produced by magnetization effects …
