Low Fine-Tuning With Heavy Higgsinos In Yukawa Unified Susy Guts, Cem Salih Ün Feb 2024

Low Fine-Tuning With Heavy Higgsinos In Yukawa Unified Susy Guts, Cem Salih Ün

Turkish Journal of Physics

The work presented considers a class of minimally constructed Yukawa unified SUSY GUTs - NUHM2 - and explores their implications when their soft supersymmetry breaking Lagrangian is generalized by the nonholomorphic terms which provide extra contributions to the Higgsino mass and couple the supersymmetric scalar fields to the wrong Higgs doublets. With such a simple extension, it can be found several regions with interesting implications which cannot be realized in the usual restricted models. It is observed that the Yukawa unification solutions can be compatible with a relatively light mass spectrum and acceptable low fine-tuning measurements. In the restricted models …


Reheating Constraints To Palatini Coleman-Weinberg Inflation, Nilay Bostan Feb 2024

Reheating Constraints To Palatini Coleman-Weinberg Inflation, Nilay Bostan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we examine the reheating constraints to symmetry-breaking mechanism, which is associated with Coleman-Weinberg inflation in the early universe. We consider the Coleman-Weinberg inflation potential, where the inflaton has a v ̸= 0 after inflation. Setting Treh = 105 GeV, we first show wreh dependency on ns , r , and N∗ for AV case. Then, we demonstrate the results of ns , r , N∗ , α = dns/d ln k for different reheating temperatures and compare the results with the latest BICEP/Keck data. We also present that ns −r and ns −N∗ planes and the effect …

In this article, we present a groundbreaking solution: a cost-effective, portable incubator system seamlessly integrated with a smartphone for real-time characterization tests. This innovation offers comparable imaging capabilities and maintains an environment …


A Compendious Review Of Majorization-Based Resource Theories: Quantum Information And Quantum Thermodynamics, Gökhan Torun, Onur Pusuluk, Özgür Esat Müstecaplioğlu Aug 2023

A Compendious Review Of Majorization-Based Resource Theories: Quantum Information And Quantum Thermodynamics, Gökhan Torun, Onur Pusuluk, Özgür Esat Müstecaplioğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

The field of quantum resource theory (QRT) has emerged as an invaluable framework for the examination of small and strongly correlated quantum systems, surpassing the boundaries imposed by traditional statistical treatments. The fundamental objective of general QRTs is to characterize these systems by precisely quantifying the level of control attainable to an experimenter. In this review article, we refrain from providing an exhaustive summary of the extensive literature on QRT. Rather, our focus centers on a specific subliterature founded upon the theory of majorization. The primary aim is to augment our comprehension of genuine quantum phenomena manifested across diverse technological …


Development And Benchmark Of A 1d3v Electrostatic Pic/Mcc Numerical Code For Gas Discharge Simulations, İbrahi̇m Arda, İsmai̇l Rafatov Aug 2023

Development And Benchmark Of A 1d3v Electrostatic Pic/Mcc Numerical Code For Gas Discharge Simulations, İbrahi̇m Arda, İsmai̇l Rafatov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Gas discharge plasmas are low-temperature nonequilibrium plasmas that have a wide range of scientific and technological applications. The particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) method is a reliable approach for numerical analyses and simulations of such plasmas. In this study, we first provide a detailed description of the basics of this method. We then verify the programme code that we developed in Fortran by benchmarking the code against a widely referred reference study simulating a radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasma (RFCCP) in helium for various discharge conditions. We show that the results of the present study are in good agreement with that of …

ℼ± -,ℼ0-Meson Electroweak Decays Within Relativistic Quark Model Based On Point Form Of Poincaré-Invariant Quantum Mechanics, Vadzim Haurysh, Viktor Andreev

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the course of work the integral representation of ℼ0-meson form-factor of ℼ0 → γγ process has been obtained within relativistic quark model based on point form of Poincaré-invariant quantum mechanics taking into account anomalous magnetic moments of κυ and κ quarks. The parameters obtained using pseudoscalar density constant gℼ± , current masses of υ- and ⅾ-quarks as well as decay constant ℼ± → ℓ±νℓ were used for numerical modeling of Fℼ0γ(t) form-factor in time-like region. Similar calculations for ℼ0 → γγ decay characteristics with reference to quark …


Speeding The Generation Of Giant Entangled States Using Low-Frequency Modulations, Abdelaziz Benseghir, Azeddine Messikh, Ahmed Bouketir Jan 2023

Speeding The Generation Of Giant Entangled States Using Low-Frequency Modulations, Abdelaziz Benseghir, Azeddine Messikh, Ahmed Bouketir

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, we generalize the shortcuts to adiabacity for the quantum Rabi model by simultaneously modulating its two components, namely, the two-level system and the cavity mode. This will eliminate the counterrotating terms which in turn helps to simulate the Rabi model by the Jaynes-Cummings model without requiring a largely detuned light-matter coupling. We focus on the low-frequency modulations since it is easy to realize them experimentally. The results show that these modulations can significantly shorten the evaluation time, generate much larger entanglement cat states, and robust against imperfection of time evaluation and dissipation.


Magnetic Response Of A Two-Dimensional Viscous Electron Fluid, Aydin Cem Keser, Oleg Sushkov Jan 2023

Magnetic Response Of A Two-Dimensional Viscous Electron Fluid, Aydin Cem Keser, Oleg Sushkov

Turkish Journal of Physics

It has been established that the Coulomb interactions can transform the electron gas into a viscous fluid. This fluid is realized in a number of platforms, including graphene and two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures. The defining characteristic of the electron fluid is the formation of layers of charge carriers that are in local thermodynamic equilibrium, as in classical fluids. In the presence of nonuniformities, whirlpools and nontrivial flow profiles are formed, which have been directly imaged in recent experiments. In this paper, we theoretically study the response of the electron fluid to localized magnetic fields. We find that the electric current is …


Sensing Translocating Polymers Via Induced Magnetic Fields, Şahi̇n Büyükdağli Jan 2023

Sensing Translocating Polymers Via Induced Magnetic Fields, Şahi̇n Büyükdağli

Turkish Journal of Physics

The requirement to boost the resolution of nanopore-based biosequencing devices necessitates the integration of novel biosensing techniques with reduced sensitivity to background noise. In this article, we probe the signatures of translocating polymers in magnetic fields induced by ionic currents through membrane nanopores. Within the framework of a previously introduced charge transport theory, we evaluate the magnetic field signals generated by voltage- and pressure-driven DNA translocation events in monovalent salt solutions. Our formalism reveals that in voltage-driven transport, the translocating polymer suppresses the induced magnetic field via the steric blockage of the ion current through the midpore. In the case …


Exploring The High Energy Frontiers Of The Milky Way With Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy: Pevatrons And The Quest For The Origin Of Galactic Cosmic-Rays, Ekrem Oğuzhan Angüner Jan 2023

Exploring The High Energy Frontiers Of The Milky Way With Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy: Pevatrons And The Quest For The Origin Of Galactic Cosmic-Rays, Ekrem Oğuzhan Angüner

Turkish Journal of Physics

Cosmic rays (CRs) are charged particles that arrive at Earth isotropically from all directions and interact with the atmosphere. The presence of a spectral knee feature seen in the CR spectrum at 3 PeV energies is an evidence that astrophysical objects within our Galaxy, which are known as 'Galactic PeVatrons', are capable of accelerating particles to PeV energies. Scientists have been trying to identify the origin of Galactic CRs and have been looking for signatures of Galactic PeVatrons through neutral messengers. Recent advancements in ground-based γ-ray astronomy have led to the discovery of 12 Galactic sources emitting above 100 TeV …


Probing Exotic Neutral Current Interactions With Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering, Mehmet Demi̇rci̇ Jan 2023

Probing Exotic Neutral Current Interactions With Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering, Mehmet Demi̇rci̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Exotic Neutral Current introduces new interactions beyond standard model (BSM) which consist of all possible four-fermion nonderivative Lorentz structures: scalar (S), pseudoscalar (P), vector (V), axial-vector (A), and tensor (T). In this work, we investigate the prediction of this model via the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS). The differential cross-section spectrum of CE$\nu$NS for three nuclei in regards to experiment advancement are calculated in the framework of this model independent proposal using recent obtained bound. We present the ratio of this exotic model with the SM for various threshold energies. Significant bound is shown lie in the lower threshold …


Shortterm Optical Variability Of 4c 29.45, Aykut Özdönmez Jan 2023

Shortterm Optical Variability Of 4c 29.45, Aykut Özdönmez

Turkish Journal of Physics

We observed the flat-spectrum radio quasar 4C 29.45 in the BVRI optical bands for 39 nights from February 2022 to July 2022 with the T60 telescope at TÜBİTAK National Observatory (TUG) in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to study flux, color, and spectral variability on short timescales. The object was in an active (bright) phase with an average optical R-band brightness of 14.7 mag and was variable in the BVRI bands throughout the monitoring period. We analyzed the flux variability during our observation period, and the variability amplitudes in V, R, and I bands were determined to be 220%, …

In this paper, classification of higher dimensional Kundt geometry is revisited as the dimension of the spacetime D→∞ . In addition to previous studies, in order to Kundt geometry becomes algebraically special spacetime obligatory conditions are determined. Additionally, Type II, Type III, Type N, Type O and Type D Kundt geometries are explicitly analyzed. Classification of several metrics such as pp-waves, non-gyratonic Kundt metric and VSI spacetime, which are well-known subclasses of Kundt geometry are studied.


Gold Thin-Film Based Narrow-Band Perfect Absorbers For Near-Ir Frequencies, Serap Aksu Jan 2023

Gold Thin-Film Based Narrow-Band Perfect Absorbers For Near-Ir Frequencies, Serap Aksu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Perfect absorbers have received significant attention due to their tunable and extraordinary absorptive behaviour of light at selected wavelenghts. Such absorption can be achieved by the means of nanostructured materials with various types of flexibility. Despite these advantages nanofabrication is a challenging process. In this study, we manufacture and characterize a gold thin-film based ultra narrow-band perfects absorber that does not require nanostructures for full absorption of the incident light. Perfect absorption is based on Fabry-Perot interference created using a metal-insulator-metal triple layer. The fabrication involves precise deposition of a gold film (35 nm) and silicon nitride dielectric film (110-170 …


Properties Of Doubly Heavy Baryons In Qcd, Takhmasib Aliyev, Selçuk Bi̇lmi̇ş Jan 2022

Properties Of Doubly Heavy Baryons In Qcd, Takhmasib Aliyev, Selçuk Bi̇lmi̇ş

Turkish Journal of Physics

The study of the properties of doubly heavy baryons represents a promising area in particle physics. It can provide us with information about Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the low energy dynamics of QCD. They have a very rich phenomenology. The investigation of weak, electromagnetic, and strong decays has a vital importance for understanding the dynamics of doubly heavy baryons. The main ingredients of such studies are the spectroscopic parameters, the strong coupling constants, and the transition form factors. For calculations of these quantities, non-perturbative methods are needed. One of these methods is the QCD sum rules. In the present …


The Effect Of Interfacial Morphology On The Magnetic And Magnetocaloricproperties Of Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles With Core-Shell Geometry: A Montecarlo Study, Yusuf Yüksel Jan 2022

The Effect Of Interfacial Morphology On The Magnetic And Magnetocaloricproperties Of Ferromagnetic Nanoparticles With Core-Shell Geometry: A Montecarlo Study, Yusuf Yüksel

Turkish Journal of Physics

Within the framework of Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of a nanocomposite particle composed of ferromagnetic core and shell layers. We found that isothermal magnetic entropy change may exhibit two peaks associated to two different phase transitions of the core and shell layers. We paid particular attention to the microscopic details of the core/shell interface. Our results suggest that for the large values of the interface exchange coupling, the full width at half maximum is expanded at the expense of the low temperature peak of isothermal entropy change $ \Delta S_{M} $ whereas the high …


Scattering Of Kinks In Noncanonical Sine-Gordon Model, Ishmael Takyi, Benedict Barnes, Hoese Michel Tornyeviadzi, Joseph Ackora-Prah Jan 2022

Scattering Of Kinks In Noncanonical Sine-Gordon Model, Ishmael Takyi, Benedict Barnes, Hoese Michel Tornyeviadzi, Joseph Ackora-Prah

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, we numerically study the scattering of kinks in the noncanonical sine-Gordon model using Fourier spectral methods. The model depends on two free parameters, which control the localized inner structure in the energy density and the characteristics of the scattering potential. It has been conjectured that the kink solutions in the noncanonical model possess inner structures in their energy density, and the presence of these yields bound states and resonance structures for some relative velocities between the kink and the antikink. In the numerical study, we observed that the classical kink mass decreases monotonically as the free parameters …


The Fine Spectral Tuning Of Plasmon Mode And Quantum Emitter Coupling And Itscomparison With The Dark-Hot Resonances, Hira Asif, Rasi̇m Volga Ovali, Ramazan Şahi̇n Jan 2022

The Fine Spectral Tuning Of Plasmon Mode And Quantum Emitter Coupling And Itscomparison With The Dark-Hot Resonances, Hira Asif, Rasi̇m Volga Ovali, Ramazan Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

Localization of incident fields into very small volumes (hot-spots) allows strong light-matter interactions at the hot spots. This makes path interference effects, Fano resonances, visible. Fano resonances can appear due to the coupling of a bright plasmon (i) to a longer lifetime dark plasmon mode or (ii) to a quantum object (QO) of a much longer lifetime. The second phenomenon provides a very important utility: the voltage tunability of the linear/nonlinear response. The level-spacing of the QO, such as defect-centers and quantum dots, are voltage-tunable which can make a sharp Fano resonance appear and disappear. Here, we compare the two …


Topical Review: Greybody Factors And Quasinormal Modes For Black Holes Invarious Theories - Fingerprints Of Invisibles, İzzet Sakalli, Sara Kanzi Jan 2022

Topical Review: Greybody Factors And Quasinormal Modes For Black Holes Invarious Theories - Fingerprints Of Invisibles, İzzet Sakalli, Sara Kanzi

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give a pedagogical introduction to black holes (BHs) greybody factors (GFs) and quasinormal modes (QNMs) and share the recent developments on those subjects. To this end, we present some particular analytical and approximation techniques for the computations of the GFs and QNMs. We first review the gravitational GFs and show how they are analytically calculated for static and spherically symmetric higher dimensional BHs, consisting the charged BHs and existence of cosmological constant (i.e. de Sitter (dS)/anti-de Sitter (AdS)AdS BHs). The computations performed involve both the low-energy (having real and small frequencies) and the asymptotic (having extremely high frequency of …


Relativistic Tunneling Through Two "Transparent" Successive Barriers, Massimo Germano Jan 2022

Relativistic Tunneling Through Two "Transparent" Successive Barriers, Massimo Germano

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the case of tunneling of relativistic particles, differently from the nonrelativistic case, a limit of "transparent" barrier can also lead to an apparent "superluminal" behavior when considering the phase time. In this limit, the restricting condition of "opaque" barrier of the nonrelativistic case is avoided, nevertheless, the very thin width of a single barrier to obtain this ?transparent? limit can result in a problem itself, for probing the effect. A combination of two successive transparent barriers can show an apparent "superluminal" behavior along a macroscopic arbitrary distance "L". Two solutions for energy E above and below the potential square …


Momentum Of Light In Complex Media, Yuri Obukhov Jan 2022

Momentum Of Light In Complex Media, Yuri Obukhov

Turkish Journal of Physics

An important issue in phenomenological macroscopic electrodynamics of moving media is the definition of the energy and momentum of the electromagnetic field in matter. Rather surprisingly, this topic has demonstrated a remarkable longevity, and the problem of the electromagnetic energy and momentum in matter remained open, despite numerous theoretical and experimental investigations. We overview the definition of the momentum of light in matter and demonstrate that, for the correct understanding of the problem, one needs to carefully distinguish situations when the material medium is modeled either as a background for light or as a dynamical part of the total system. …


Investigating The Potential Of Laser-Written One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Inside Silicon, Onur Tokel Jan 2022

Investigating The Potential Of Laser-Written One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Inside Silicon, Onur Tokel

Turkish Journal of Physics

The field of silicon photonics is based on introducing and exploiting advanced optical functionality. Current efforts in the field are based on conventional micro/nanofabrication methods, leading to optical functionality over wafer surfaces. A complementary and emerging field is introducing analogous optics directly within the wafer using lasers. Here we investigate the theoretical feasibility of a subclass of such optics, photonic crystals. Our efforts will guide future experimental efforts towards in-chip spectral control.


Variational Field Equations Of A Majorana Neutrino Coupled To Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity, Dündar Teki̇n Dereli̇, Yorgo Şeni̇koğlu Jan 2022

Variational Field Equations Of A Majorana Neutrino Coupled To Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity, Dündar Teki̇n Dereli̇, Yorgo Şeni̇koğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

A consistent variational derivation of the Majorana 4-spinor field equations coupled to Einstein's theory of gravitation is given. The equivalence of the first and the second order variational field equations is explicitly demonstrated. The Lagrange multiplier 2-forms we use turn out to be precisely the Belinfante-Rosenfeld 2-forms that are needed to symmetrize the canonical energy-momentum tensor of the Majorana spinor.


On An Econophysics Model, Miron Kaufman Jan 2022

On An Econophysics Model, Miron Kaufman

Turkish Journal of Physics

Krugman has proposed a continuous in time and space model for the emergence of polycentric urban areas in the regional space. By using a discrete version of this model on spatial networks, we predicted the distribution of jobs among the different localities inside a couple of economic regions in Ohio and Texas. The time evolution of the distribution of jobs is governed by a market potential. Employment gradually moves towards locations considered relatively attractive if their market potential is above the spatial average. Similarly, jobs move away from locations with below-average market potential. First, I will show that the market …


Extinction And Growth On An Inhomogeneous Seascape, Tung Tran, Mehran Kardar Jan 2022

Extinction And Growth On An Inhomogeneous Seascape, Tung Tran, Mehran Kardar

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effects of noise and nonuniformity on dynamics of populations are relevant and timely subjects of investigation. One form of variation is the time dependence of the reproduction rate (fitness), referred to as ?seascape? noise; another is time-independent intrinsic dependencies of fitness on location (in the parlance of statistical physics, corresponding to annealed and quenched disorder, respectively). The former was studied recently and demonstrated to lead to novel universality classes for extinction and growth. To reduce the gap between this theoretical model and reality, we develop a new formalism for seascape noise where growth and migration parameters are inhomogeneous. In …


Critical Dynamics In Biological Boolean Networks Follows From Symmetric Response To Input Genes, Hamza Çoban, Alkan Kabakçioğlu Jan 2022

Critical Dynamics In Biological Boolean Networks Follows From Symmetric Response To Input Genes, Hamza Çoban, Alkan Kabakçioğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

A recent observation on an extensive collection of biological gene regulatory networks suggests that the regulatory dynamics is tuned to remain close to the order-chaos boundary in the Lyapunov sense [1]. We here investigate, from a mathematical perspective, the structural/functional constraints which give rise to such accumulation around criticality in these systems. While the role of canalizing functions in this respect is well established, we find that critical sensitivity to small input variations also follows from an over-abundance of symmetrical inputs, i.e. regulatory genes invoking identical or complementary responses on their common target. A random network ensemble constructed to have …


Self-Consistent Markovian Embedding Of Generalized Langevin Equations With Configuration-Dependent Mass And A Nonlinear Friction Kernel, Cihan Ayaz, Lucas Tepper, Roland R. Netz Jan 2022

Self-Consistent Markovian Embedding Of Generalized Langevin Equations With Configuration-Dependent Mass And A Nonlinear Friction Kernel, Cihan Ayaz, Lucas Tepper, Roland R. Netz

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider a generalized Langevin equation (GLE) in which the deterministic force, the mass and the friction kernel are configuration-dependent, i.e. general nonlinear functions of the reaction coordinate. We introduce a projection operator that allows for a self-consistent Markovian embedding of such GLEs. Self-consistency means that trajectories generated by the Markovian embedding are described by a GLE with the same configuration-dependent deterministic force, mass and friction kernel. Using the projection operator, we derive a closed-form relation between the parameters of the Markovian embedding Langevin equations and the parameters of the GLE. This is accomplished by applying the projection operator formalism …
