Facular Structures On Cool Stars, Serdar Evren
Facular Structures On Cool Stars, Serdar Evren
Turkish Journal of Physics
Activity has many manifestations, from dark spots to bright regions, to the presence of the heated chromosphere, to the superheated corona. Sunspots are extended, strongly magnetic regions on the Sun. Photospheric faculae are generally visible only at the limb. Polar faculae are smaller than the main-zone faculae. The contributions of the active region faculae and the facular network are at least as important as the solar spots in augmenting the solar emission.

Photometric Imaging With Distributive Solar Analogy, Zeki̇ Eker
Turkish Journal of Physics
The importance of DSA (Distributive Solar Analogy) when modeling starspots from a photometric data is discussed. It's advantage over the other modeling techniques to confine the solution parameters, especially the spot latitudes are described. Unlike the other photometric techniques which tries to locate limited number of cool surface spots, DSA aims to model global distribution of all virtually existing spots.
On The Coronal Activity Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan, Hasan Ak
On The Coronal Activity Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan, Hasan Ak
Turkish Journal of Physics
We re-analysed the behaviour of coronal activity of the RS CVn-type binaries as a function of stellar and orbital parameters. Highly significant correlations were found between the x-ray luminosity L_x and the stellar radius R, the Roche lobe filling fraction \Gamma, and the Alfven radius RA. The correlations of L_x with the mass M, the absolute magnitude M_V, the surface gravity g, the Roche lobe filling fraction \Gamma, and the Alfven radius RA are likely to be due to correlations of these quantities with the stellar radius R. Surprisingly, no correlation of L_x on the color (B-V), the rotation velocity …

Co-Ordinated Multi-Wavelength Observations Of The Rs Cvn System Cf Tuc, Edwin Budding, K. L. Jones, O. B. Slee, L. Watson
Turkish Journal of Physics
A `multi-site, multi-wavelength' campaign on the eclipsing RS CVn binary CF Tuc was carried out in 1996 over both optical (photometry and spectroscopy) and radio (microwave) ranges. The microwave data was taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). It covered slightly more than one complete orbital cycle at 4.8 and 8.64 GHz in one continuous run. There was also coverage of about 25% of the light curve at 1.38 and 2.38 GHz. High dispersion spectroscopy was obtained using the McLellan 1m telescope and échelle spectrograph at Mt John University Observatory (New Zealand). Supporting photometry came from various smaller-scale facilities …

Magnetodielectrical Polymer Compositional Materials, Sh. V. Mamedov, Y. Lenger, Sevi̇l Bolcal, Vilayet A. Alekperov, M. A. Ramazanov, R. Z. Sadikhov
Turkish Journal of Physics
Magnetodielectrical polymer compositional materials containing carbonyl iron (CI) were obtained. The changes of permittivity and permeability, loss angle tangent, resistivity, mechanical and electrical properties, depending on the content of carbonyl iron have been investigated. It is shown that the magnetodielectrical materials with 20-40% mass content of carbonyl iron have possible practical use.

Energetics Of Spherical Clusters, Hati̇ce Kökten, Şaki̇r Erkoç
Turkish Journal of Physics
The energetics of spherical clusters of elements Fe in bcc, Ca and Pb in fcc, and C in diamond structure have been investigated by using emprical many-body potential energy function which contains two- and three-body inteactions. In the variation of average interaction energy per atom (E_b) versus cluster size (N_{sh}; number of shells) only carbon clusters have magic numbers at 5, 8, 11 and 14 shells. E_b versus N_{sh} becomes smooth after 15 shells for carbon, however this variation becomes smooth for the other elements after 10 shells. The variation of two-body to three-body interaction energy versus cluster size becomes …
Exchange-Correlation Effects In The Impurity-Limited Mobility Of Gaas Quantum Wires, B. Tanatar
Exchange-Correlation Effects In The Impurity-Limited Mobility Of Gaas Quantum Wires, B. Tanatar
Turkish Journal of Physics
We study the many-body effects described by the local-field corrections on the mobility of quasi-one dimensional electron systems. The low temperature mobility due to remote-impurity doping and interface-roughness scattering is calculated within the relaxation time approximation. We find that correlation effects significantly reduce the mobility at low density.

Novel Detectors And Lasers For Telecommunications, Anthony J. Vickers, Hamid R. Mashayekhi, Pattara Aiyarak, Diego Oriato
Turkish Journal of Physics
For the most part the field of optoelectronics has been dominated by the pn junction for both detector and laser applications. This domination will probably hold true for laser applications for many more years although the simple forward biased junction may be challenged by other novel approaches as increased complexity is required such as multi-wavelength emission, wavelength conversion, and Thz operation. The first real novel use of the pn junction was developed by Balkan et al. [1]. Their HELLISH device paved the way for novel approaches in the use of the pn junction. In this paper I shall introduce another …

The Extended Hybrid Model For Optical Phonon Confinement, C. R. Bennett, B. K. Ridley, N. A. Zakhleniuk, M. Babiker
Turkish Journal of Physics
The theory of optical phonons and their confinement in heterostructures is reviewed with analogies made to the theory of acoustic phonons. The dielectric continuum (DC) model is obtained when bulk dispersion is ignored and the hybrid model is found when dispersion is included. The issue of boundary conditions is investigated and the solutions are shown with comparisons made using electron-phonon scattering.

Medium-Dependent Metric In Electrostatics, Bernard Jancewicz
Medium-Dependent Metric In Electrostatics, Bernard Jancewicz
Turkish Journal of Physics
The use of differential forms allows the formulation of the principal equations of electrodynamics in a metric-independent way. The metric is needed only for finding the solutions. Various metrics can be introduced, depending on the medium. A special metric, connected with the electric permittivity tensor, allows us to reduce all electrostatic problems in anisotropic media to those in in isotropic one.
Confined Bipolarons In The Strong Coupling Limit, R. Tuğrul Senger, Ati̇lla Erçelebi̇
Confined Bipolarons In The Strong Coupling Limit, R. Tuğrul Senger, Ati̇lla Erçelebi̇
Turkish Journal of Physics
Within the framework of the strong-coupling polaron theory and the bulk phonon approximation we report the possibility and criteria in achieving stable bipolaron states in confined media. We use a simple model of two electrons constrained within an anisotropic three dimensional parabolic potential box of tunable barrier slopes. Conforming the confining potential from one geometry to the other, we obtain an explicit tracking of the stability criteria as a function of the degree of confinement uncovering all low dimensional major geometric configurations of common interest.
Canonical Treatment Of Regular Lagrangians With Holonomic Constraints As Singular Systems, Eqab M. Rabei
Canonical Treatment Of Regular Lagrangians With Holonomic Constraints As Singular Systems, Eqab M. Rabei
Turkish Journal of Physics
Regular Lagrangians with holomonic constraints are treated as singular systems using the canonical method. The Lagrange multipliers are introduced as generalized coordinates. The regular Lagrangians are extended to be singular and the Hamiltonian formulation is obtained. The equations of motion are written as total differential equations in terms of the time t and the Lagrange multipliers. It is also shown that Lagrange multipliers can be determined from the integrability conditions.

Turkish Journal of Physics
Heteroepitaxial Ge_x Si_{1-x} alloy layers have been formed by 10 ms and 300 \mu s laser pulse induced mixing of pure germanium films and Si(111) substrates where Ge films of thickness (500-1250) Å are thermally evaporated onto Si(111) under vacuum pressure \sim 10^{-5} Torr. The near surface of the sample then undergoes rapid melting and regrowth processes during each pulse from a free running Nd; YAG laser. The alloy layers are (4.6-6.5) \mum thick and have a Ge fraction of x = 6-8.2%.

The Peculiarities Of The Electrical And Thermoelectrical Properties Of P-Type Ag_2te, Ali̇ İhsan Demi̇rel, S. A. Aliev, F. F. Aliev, F. Z. Guseynov, Sali̇m Orak
Turkish Journal of Physics
The electrical and thermoelectrical properties of p-type Ag_2Te have been investigated. Various peculiarities were observed: the minimum (at T \approx 65 K) and maximum (at T \approx 200 K) on the temperature dependence of conductivity \sigma (T); the weak dependence of Hall coefficient R(T) (in 200-300 K range) and the maximum (at T \approx 100 K and 250 K) on the temperature dependence of thermal power \alpha_0 (T). The investigation results were interpreted by two-bands model. It is shown that mentioned peculiarities have been stimulated by the narrow gap of Ag_2Te and its temperature dependence.
Q-Calculus And Irreversible Dynamics On A Hierarchical Lattice, Ayşe Erzan, Ayşe Gorbon
Q-Calculus And Irreversible Dynamics On A Hierarchical Lattice, Ayşe Erzan, Ayşe Gorbon
Turkish Journal of Physics
On a lattice with equal spacing on the logarithmic scale, a momentum operator that respects the asymmetry of this nonlinear lattice yields a kinetics that can be understood in terms of diffusion on an underlying ultrametric space, if one also identifies the cannonical commutator with the time dilation operator. The motion to which this non-conventional kinetics corresponds is irreversible, with an explicit violation of time reversal symmetry resulting from the spreading with time of a probability distribution over a larger and larger volume of the phase space.
Dynamical Evolution Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan
Dynamical Evolution Of The Rs Cvn-Type Binaries, Osman Demi̇rcan
Turkish Journal of Physics
The orbital angular momentum (orbital AM) of a sample of forty RS CVn-type binaries with the orbital periods P \leq 10 days were estimated and the orbital AM distribution with respect to P was critically interpreted as the orbital AM evolution of these systems caused by the magnetic breaking process with the existence of spin-orbit coupling. The empirical relations (between the orbital AM loss, mass loss and period variation) derived from the diagram of the orbital AM distribution were used in deriving a semi-empirical formula for the dynamical evolution of the RS CVn-type binaries. The magnetic breaking induced dynamical evolution …

Semiconductor And Dielectric Microcavity Spectroscopy, Ali̇ Serpengüzel
Turkish Journal of Physics
Semiconductor and dielectric microcavities are used for the localization of photons as well as the enhancement of photon density of states. The enhancement of photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and lasing by the use of microcavities leads to novel active and passive optoelectronic and photonic devices such as channel droppping filters, semiconductor lasers, and resonant cavity enhanced devices. Experimental results showing photoluminescence enhancement in active planar, lasing in active ellipsoidal microcavities as well as light scattering in passive and spherical microcavities are presented.
Photometric Imaging Of Starspots, Techniques And Reliability, Zeki̇ Eker
Photometric Imaging Of Starspots, Techniques And Reliability, Zeki̇ Eker
Turkish Journal of Physics
Historical development of the starspot hypothesis and the unsolved problems associated with it are presented. The "non{uniqueness" attributed to the spot solutions is a major problem which could still discredit current efforts of starspot modeling by photometric or spectroscopic data. The basics of the starspot photometry(direct and inverse photometric problem, and the error analysis of the inverse problem) are presented. Since an analytical formulation exists to compute synthetic light curves from the physical parameters of spots, and recomputing original parameters analytically from the synthetic curves are also possible, the starspot hypothesis is a consistent physical problem. According to the error …

The analytical theory of hot electrons interacting with lattice vibrations, impurities, and interface roughness in quantum wells is developed. We have obtained new distribution functions which describe all the kinetic properties of the non-equilibrium electron gas. As a specific example we present the electric field dependence of the electron mobility in GaN-based quantum wells and in bulk GaN. The relative importance of the different scattering mechanisms is analysed in detail.

Giant Efficiency Of Fröhlich Interaction In Self-Assembled Quantum Dots, A. W. E. Minnaert, A. Yu. Silov, J. E. M. Haverkort, J. H. Wolter, A. Garcia, V. N. Gladilin, V. M. Fomn, J. T. Devreese
Turkish Journal of Physics
A transition is being observed from an inhomogeneously broadened photoluminescence band under non-resonant excitation of InAs/GaAs Self-Assembled quantum Dots (SAD's) into up to five phonon-assisted emission bands under selective excitation. A similar effect is obtained from photoluminescence excitation experiments (PLE). We interpret the phonon-assisted PL as being due to a giant efficiency of the Fröhlich interaction between an exciton polarized by strain in the SAD and LO-phonons. The model is consistent with the pronounced p-type polarization of the emission observed in our cleaved-side PL-measurements. Further support is obtained from our calculations in which a different localization of the electrons and …

Electron Liquid Beyond The Random Phase Approximation, Mehmet Tomak, Ceyhun Bulutay
Turkish Journal of Physics
A deeper understanding of low-dimensional and small-scale electronic systems requires an accurate characterization of the many-electron effects. Based on the electron liquid (EL) model, these many-body effects in the three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems are dealt going beyond the random phase approximation within the zero-temperature framework. The dielectric formulation of the many-body problem is recapitulated and the longitudinal dielectric function of the EL is obtained using the self-consistent local-field correction scheme, known as STLS, under a general spin-valley degeneracy. Extensive explicit expressions are provided for the use of other researchers. The performance of this formalism is compared in …

Energy Relaxation Rate Of Hot Electrons In N-Type Gan Epilayers Using Heat Pulse Techniques, P. Hawker, A. J. Kent, T. S. Cheng, C. T. Foxon
Turkish Journal of Physics
We have measured the energy relaxation rate of hot electrons in MBE grown bulk GaN epilayers on GaAs and sapphire substrates over the electron temperature range 1 - 130 K. The measurements were made using heat pulse techniques. For layers grown on GaAs substrates the results show that the carriers reside in the substrate, probably as in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction. For layers grown on sapphire substrates we obtain a P \propto T^4_e dependence for the relaxation rate in the low temperature limit, consistent with piezoelectric coupling in the so-called `dirty' regime, changing to a linear dependence in the high temperature, …
