Field And Polarization Effects Arising In Neutrino-Lepton Processes In A Magnetic Field, V. A. Gusseinov Jan 2001

Field And Polarization Effects Arising In Neutrino-Lepton Processes In A Magnetic Field, V. A. Gusseinov

Turkish Journal of Physics

We discuss the effects arising in the neutrino-lepton processes (\nu_{\mu}+e^{-} \rightarrow \nu_{e}+\mu^{-} and \overline{\nu}_{e}+e^{-}\rightarrow\overline{\nu}_{\mu}+\mu^{-}) in a constant uniform magnetic field in the framework of the Weinberg-Salam-Glashow model. It is shown that in the case of a superstrong magnetic field and for the muon producing on the ground Landau level the leading term of the cross section asymptotics of the \nu_{\mu}-process does not depend on the field intensity and it effectively describes the one-dimensional free process. In the \nu_{\mu}-process the muons with the spins oriented opposite to the direction of the field are mostly produced. The electrons with the spins oriented …


Is There An Age Of The Universe Problem After The Hipparcos Data?, Murat Özer Jan 2001

Is There An Age Of The Universe Problem After The Hipparcos Data?, Murat Özer

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have reanalyzed the age of the universe problem under the assumption that the lower limit on the age of the globular clusters is \sim11 Gyr, as predicted by the recent Hipparcos data. We find that the globular cluster and the expansion ages in a standard \lambda=0 universe are consistent only if the present value H_0 of the Hubble constant is \leq 60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1}. If H_0>60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1} some kind of modification of the standard \lambda=0 model is required. Invoking a (time-independent) cosmological term \lambda in the Einstein field equations, as has been done frequently before, we have found that …

A Novel Technique For The Preparation Of Textured Yba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\Delta} Superconductor, Naheed Kouser, Saadat Anwar Siddiqi, Asghari Maqsood

Turkish Journal of Physics

Textured samples having composition of YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta} were prepared by using a novel technique of heating the samples in a thermal gradient which varies linearly between 930-950 ^oC over a distance of 5 cm. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, temperature dependent resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. XRD analysis shows that sample heated between 930-935 ^oC has tetragonal symmetry and all other three samples show orthorhombic symmetry. Samples heated in temperature gradient of 935-945 ^oC aligned along the c-axis. The orthorhombic samples exhibited zero resistance above 86K with short transition width and samples heated …


Zeros Of Scattering Amplitude For A Spin-Dependent Gaussian Potential, Nilufar Farhat Hossain, Hasna Banu, A. K. Halder Jan 2001

Zeros Of Scattering Amplitude For A Spin-Dependent Gaussian Potential, Nilufar Farhat Hossain, Hasna Banu, A. K. Halder

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the proposed model, polarization in the scattering amplitude for a Gaussian potential including spin is considered. The problem of scattering amplitude is formulated in two different ways: the first and second Born approximations along with their high energy limits and the eikonal approximation including Wallace corrections. A comparison of the numerical zeros of the scattering amplitude computed in the above two approximations is studied in the complex momentum transfer plane. An analysis of the zero trajectories shows that the contribution of the spin part in the potential is quite significant at high energies whereas at low energies the spin-part …

Features Of The Compound Multiplicity Of The Interactions Of ^{24}Mg And ^{28}Si Ions With Emulsion Nuclei At 4.5a Gev/C, N. N. Abd-Allah, M. Mohery

Turkish Journal of Physics

The present paper deals with the interactions of ^{24}Mg and ^{28}Si nuclei at 4.5A GeV/c with emulsion. Some characteristics of the compound multiplicity given by the numerical sum of grey and shower particles have been investigated. The obtained results indicate that the compound multiplicity distribution is consistent with KNO-Scaling and its width increases with the size of the projectile nucleus.The dependence of the average compound multiplicity on the numbers of black and the grey particles and the sum of them is obvious and the values of the slope has been found to be independent of the projectile nucleus.

Path Integral Treatment For Spinless Relativistic Equation In The Two Component Theory, M. Merad, T. Boudjedaa, Lyazid Chetouani

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper we have set up a path integral formalism for Feshbach-Villars equation by using the fermionic Schwinger model for Pauli matrices which describe an isocharge symmetry. This choice is made in analogy with spin model and the coherent state representation is then used. We have also given a general method of treating the problem of vanishing scalar potential by reducing it the to non-relativistic case and then, via Foldy-Wouthuysen canonical transformation, an explicit solution is constructed. The free case and constant magnetic field interaction are explicitly exposed. In each cases the propagators are evaluated and the energy spectrum …

Calculation Of The Potential And Electric Flux Lines For Parallel Plate Capacitors With Symmetrically Placed Equal Lengths By Using The Method Of Conformal Mapping, Erhan Albayrak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The classical problem of the parallel-plate capacitors has been investigated by a number of authors, including Love [1], Langton [2] and Lin [3]. In this paper, the exact equipotentials and electric flux lines of symmetrically placed two thin conducting plates are obtained using the Schwarz- Cristoffel transformation and the method of conformal mapping. The coordinates x , y in the z-plane corresponding to the constant electric flux lines and equipotential lines are obtained after very detailed and cumbersome calculations. The complete field distribution is given by constructing the family of lines of electric flux and equipotential.


Viscous Dissipation Of Magnetosonic Waves In Solar Corona, Belinda Kalomeni, D. Özlem Hürkal, E. Rennan Pekünlü, Kadri̇ Yakut Jan 2001

Viscous Dissipation Of Magnetosonic Waves In Solar Corona, Belinda Kalomeni, D. Özlem Hürkal, E. Rennan Pekünlü, Kadri̇ Yakut

Turkish Journal of Physics

Wave propagation and dissipation of magnetosonic waves are considered in an inhomogenous viscous coronal plasma permeated by a spatially varying magnetic field. In the linear magnetohydrodynamic approximation the dispersion relation yields two wave modes, fast and slow respectively. Depending on the physical parameters of the medium the damping length scales of the modes show varying behaviours. Damping length scales of the modes show sudden decrease at relevant heights. These drops may be due to phase mixing and resonance absorption. Wave flux density of the magnetosonic waves turns out to be of the order of 10^6 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}. This is …

The Temperature Dependence Of Dark Conductivity In Hydrogenated Amorphous Sin_X Films, Hüseyi̇n Tolunay, İlker Ay

Turkish Journal of Physics

Thin film samples of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride with varying nitrogen content were prepared by conventional plasma deposition from a mixture of SiH_4 and NH_3 . The dark conductivity (\sigma_d) of the films have been measured in the temperature range 420 K - 100 K. The conductivity is thermally activated with a single activation energy down to 250 K and conduction is dominated by electrons in extended states. A strong decrease is observed sigma _d when the nitrogen content is increased.

Study Of Slip Systems In Epidote Single Crystal, Salah-Ud Din, Munnawar Ahmad, Shahzad Chishti

Turkish Journal of Physics

Measurements of microhardness anisotropy by Knoop diamond indentations on the prismatic (100) planes of epidote crystals, point group 2/m and space group P21/m, show that microhardness is determined by crystallographic slip on the (100) systems. Microhardness anisotropy is explained in terms of the effective resolved shear stress distribution in these slip systems.

These integral formulae presented in the form of a series whose terms are the analytical function of inter-atomic distances. In the present method, unlike many other popular methods, the numerical integration procedure is unnecessary since it does not contain the incomplete gamma function. The present scheme has been programmed in standard Fortran-77 and tested for various orbitals. The result of the calculation …

A Theoretical Model For The Non-Linear Susceptibility Of The Antiferromagnetic Systems, Beki̇r Özçeli̇k, Keri̇m Kiymaç, Ahmet Eki̇ci̇bi̇l Jan 2001

A Theoretical Model For The Non-Linear Susceptibility Of The Antiferromagnetic Systems, Beki̇r Özçeli̇k, Keri̇m Kiymaç, Ahmet Eki̇ci̇bi̇l

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we have developed a general theoretical model, based upon the simple mean field model of N\'{e}el, for the non-linear response of an antiferromagnetic system. The results indicate that the odd order derivatives, (d^{2n + 1}m_{a})_{0} = (-d^{2n + 1}m_{b})_{0}, where n=1,2,3......, will diverge and the even order derivatives, (d^{2n}m_{a})_{0} = (d^{2n}m_{b})_{0} will vanish due to the symmetry of two sublattices, ``a'' and ``b'', forming the antiferromagnet. This model also supports our experimental results performed on two antiferromagnetic samples, namely, Cs_{2}MnCl_{4}.2H_{2}O and MnCl_{2}.4H_{2}O [1].

Second Order Elastic Constants (S.O.E.C) of NaCl-type crystals have been calculated using the Woodcock potential. Short-range repulsive interactions have been included up to second-nearest neighbors. This potential form represents the composite form of the inverse power dependence and exponential dependence of the repulsive energy on interionic distance. Some thermoelastic and thermodynamic properties such as Anderson-Grüneisen parameters \delta _{T}, and \delta _{S}, Volume thermal expansion coefficient \beta and Grüneisen gama \gamma _{G} have been calculated in terms of calculated values of S.O.E.C and Third Order Elastic Constant ( T.O.E.C).

Turkish Journal of Physics

Polycrystalline thin film of the graded system CdTe_{1-x}S_{x} for x=0,0.1,\ldots,1 are prepared by using thermal evaporation technique deposited on the glass substrate with an average thickness 3000 Å for each individual value of x . XRD technique is used with the aid of a computational program to study the phase change from cubic zinc blend structure to hexagonal wurtzite with an inversion point related to the x-value. It is found that x=0.1 gives us an inversion point in the structural change from cubic to hexagonal phase.

Built-In Potential Measurements In A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan Jan 2001

Built-In Potential Measurements In A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have measured the open-circuit voltage V_{oc} and the short-circuit current density J_{sc} of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) p-i-n solar cells deposited by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) at different monochromatic illuminations, and temperatures. From the measurements, the built-in potential V_{bi} was determined by using two different methods: activation energy and differential temperature. The results from both methods were analyzed and compared as a function of excitation wavelength. It was observed that there is good agreement between the two methods. We found that V_{bi} increases until about 650 nm, and then decreases with increasing wavelength. This behaviour is explained and …

Coproduct Of Su_{Q} (2), Coherent States And Four Point Function With Logarithmic Regge Trajectories, M. Arik, Ayşe Peker-Dobie

Turkish Journal of Physics

The representation of the operators belonging to a 2 \times 2 SU_q (2) matrix yield a Hilbert space H. The coproducts of these operators define a Hilbert space H^{(2)} isomorphic to H and canonically embedded in H \otimes H. The four-point function obtained by taking the scalar product of the ground state of H^{(2)} with the coherent states in H \otimes H is uniquely defined, is meromorphic and has Regge behaviour.

On The Evaluation Of Determinantal Wave Functions In Open-Shell Hartree-Fock Theory, I. I. Guseinov, Ramazan Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Slater method is modified for the evaluation of determinantal wave functions appearing in open-shell Hartree-Fock (HF) theory [1]. Using modified Slater method we have calculated, as an example, the orbital energies and the wave functions of terms obtained from the electronic configuration of a ground state of an N-atom system in the Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HFR) approximation. The modified determinantal method introduced in this paper can be of considerable help and importance in the simplification and calculation of atomic and molecular electronic structure.
