Near Bandedge Optical Absorption Processes In Semi Insulating And N-Type Gaas, Tacetti̇n Yildirim, Sebahatti̇n Tüzemen, Seydi̇ Doğan, Beki̇r Gürbulak, Aytunç Ateş, Muhammet Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Physics

Near bandedge optical absorption processes in semi-insulating (SI) GaAs and Te-doped n-type GaAs crystals were investigated in the temperature range 10--300 K. We observed absorption peaks whose maximum energies E_{m}, ranging from 1.498 to 1.485 eV decrease as the temperature increases from 10 K to 100 K. The peaks for both SI and n-type GaAs disappeared above 100 K. Extrapolating the graphs of E$_{g}-E_{m} versus temperature, we observed that near bandedge absorption is overlapped by the conduction band at about 220 K and 260 K for n-type and SI samples, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the absorption in the region …

Turkish Journal of Physics

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of thermal annealing on hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon a-Si:H films. Hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous films were seperately coated on glass and single cyrstalline silicon substrates by means of d.c. magnetron sputtering technique. a-Si:H/glass and a-Si:H/c-Si samples were annealed in the temperature range of 23-250^oC, 23-200^oC and 600-1050^oC, respectively. The effect of annealing on the a-Si:H films were examined by means of Infrared vibrational transmittance spectrum technique (IR) in the wavenumber range 4000-400 cm^{-1} and Scanning Electron Microsope (SEM). The results were interpreted in terms of hydrogen diffusion.

Preparation And Anisotropic Elastic Property Of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Whiskers, Khaliq A. Chaudhary, M. Arshad Choudhry

Turkish Journal of Physics

Flexible and superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O whiskers have been prepared by sintering the melt-quenched glassy powder at 830^oC in oxygen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction and a.c. susceptibility measurements reveal that the whiskers belong to 2212 phase with T_{c} = 79k. The whiskers possess high strength and flexibility along c-axis but were found to be weak and brittle when bent normal to the c-axis. The anisotropic micromechanical elastic property of the whiskers have been demonstrated under a low power optical microscope.

Filamentation Of Light Emission In An Infrared-Visible Image Converter With A Semiconductor Photodetector, Hi̇lal Yücel Kurt, H. S. Kiymaz, B. G. Salamov, K. Çolakoğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

This work studies the light emission patterns associated with the spatial modulation of the transversal distribution of the current density in a converter cell with a GaAs semiconductor cathode. Such light emission exhibits spatial structures of current filaments depending on the feeding voltage, illumination intensity, gas pressure and the surface treatment of the electrodes. When the current is increased above the stable limit, breakdown or small current filamentations begin. However, n-GaAs exhibits an S-shaped current-density-field relation due to impact ionization of carriers from shallow donors into the conduction band under high electric fields. The assessment of the filament formation is …

The B --> S G G Decay In The General Two Higgs Doublet Model, E. O. İltan Jan 2002

The B --> S G G Decay In The General Two Higgs Doublet Model, E. O. İltan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the decay width of the inclusive process b --> s g g in the two Higgs doublet model with three-level flavor changing neutral currents (model III). We analyse the dependencies of the differential decay width to the s- quark energy E_s and model III parameters, charged Higgs mass m_H_{^{±}} and Yukawa coupling \bar{\xi}_{N,bb}^D. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay width for the relevant process. This enhancement can be reduced by choosing C_7^{eff} as negative or increasing the lower bound of m_H_{^{±}} to the large values. This is an interesting result which gives an …

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Thomas-Fermi (TF) model is used to calculate the equation of state of thermal polarized neutron matter. The properties of cold and hot neutron matter have been investigated. A realistic density-dependent M3Y effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction where the Yukawa strengthes are based on the G-matrix of the Paris interaction has been used. Special attention is devoted to the effect of the spin excess parameter on these properties. Moreover, the effect of some realistic density dependence has been studied. The results obtained are in reasonable agreement with previous theoretical estimates using different methods of calculation.

Turkish Journal of Physics

Gamma irradiated TSL glow curves of laboratory made phosphor samples of LaPO_{4}:Ce, Tb exhibited one intense peak around 408 K and two smaller peaks around 508 K and 613 K. The spectrum of the first glow peak gives spectral peaks around 480 nm and 540 nm, which can be attributed to the thermal destruction of F^{++} centres and PO_4^{2-} radicals. The luminescense centre has been thought to be Cerium and Terbium ions. The glow peak around 413 K for UV irradiated samples has been attributed to aggregates of dopant ions. The photoluminescence study of the samples exhibited one intense peak …

Contribution To The Relationship Between Solar Radiation And Sunshine Duration In The Tropics: A Case Study Of Experimental Data At Ilorin, Nigeria, Sunday O. Udo

Turkish Journal of Physics

From monthly average daily values of clearness index and relative sunshine spanning a period of two years, two equations (linear and quadratic) of the Angstrom-Prescott model have been developed for the estimation of global solar irradiation at Ilorin (Lat. 8°32'N, Long. 4°34'E), a tropical location. Comparison of the regression coefficients of the linear type model showed that the values are quite consistent with those quoted in the literature for the Tropics. The predictive efficiencies of these two models are also compared with those which are believed to be applicable globally, and those developed for the Nigerian environment. Although some of …


Short-Range Correlations In Coupled Quantum-Wire Systems, A. Yurtsever, B. Tanatar Jan 2002

Short-Range Correlations In Coupled Quantum-Wire Systems, A. Yurtsever, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the contact values of the inter-wire pair-correlation function in electron-electron and electron-hole double-wire systems. For this purpose the ladder approximation as generalized to multicomponent systems is used. The ladder approximation yields positive values for the inter-wire g_{ee}(0) and g_{eh}(0) for all values of the density parameter r_s and distance d between the wires. This allows us to infer possible instabilities in the system more reliably compared to other approaches. We also investigate the effects of quantum-wire width and screening on the inter-wire pair-correlation functions. PACS numbers: 05.30.Fk, 73.20.Dx, 71.45.Gm, 73.40.Kp


Excess Properties Of Alcohol - Water Systems At 298.15 K, Hülya Yilmaz Jan 2002

Excess Properties Of Alcohol - Water Systems At 298.15 K, Hülya Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Physics

Dielectric constants \varepsilon, viscosities \eta, refractive indices n and densities d have been measured over the entire mole fraction range for the water - methyl, ethyl, n-propyl alcohol binary systems at 298.15 K. From the experimental data excess dielectric constants \varepsilon^E, excess viscosities \eta^E and Kirkwood correlation factors g_k have been calculated and studied. Their behaviour suggests the existence of intermolecular interactions and plotted curves show that excess dielectric constant and g_k values decrease with the increasing of carbon atom number, while excess viscosity increases.


Interface Roughness-Induced Intrassubband Scattering In A Quantum Well Under An Electric Field, Guseyn Behbudoglu Ibragimov Jan 2002

Interface Roughness-Induced Intrassubband Scattering In A Quantum Well Under An Electric Field, Guseyn Behbudoglu Ibragimov

Turkish Journal of Physics

The scattering rates in the lowest subband in a quantum well are calculated for interface roughness scattering when an electric field is applied perpendicular to the layer plane. It is found that the interface roughness scattering rate increases with increase in the electric field. The electric field changes the interface roughness scattering rates drastically in thick QWs compared with those for the zero-field case. This behaviour in the scattering rate gives a new degree of freedom in regions of interest in device applications.
