Properties Of Ag-Doped Bi_{(1.6)}Pb_{(0.4)}Sr_2ca_3cu_{(4-X)}Ag_Xo_Y (2234) Oxides Prepared By S.S.R. Method, Süleyman Bolat, E. Yanmaz, H. Cömert

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of Ag-doping Bi$_{1.6}$Pb$_{0.4}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{3}$Cu$_{4-x}$Ag$_{x}$O$_{y}$ compounds (x=0.0-1.0), prepared by conventional Solid-State-Reaction (SSR) technique, was studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrical resistivity. The high-T$_{c}$ fraction of the 2223 phase, formed from the nominal composition of 2234, decreases with increasing Ag content. From lattice parameter calculations it follows that Ag-doping the unit cell phase of (Bi,Pb)$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$ is limited to the value of x$\leq$0.1. The zero resistance critical temperature (T$_{c,zero}$) was determined from the resistivity curves for all samples. The value of T$_{c,zero}$ decreases slightly to 106 K for x$\leq$0.4 and when the nominal silver content increases up to x=0.7 or more …


The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal Jan 2000

The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal

Turkish Journal of Physics

An Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive Cu$_{2}$O and CuO layers on a Cu sheet. A gold metal contact was formed CuO side at pressure of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the system were seen to change over a great extent due to the presence of humidity. The effect of the humidity on Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.

Analysis On The 2-Dim Quantum Poincare Group At Roots Of Unity, Haji Ahmedov

Turkish Journal of Physics

2--Dim quantum Poincar\'e Group $E_q(1,1)$ at roots of unity, its dual $U_q(e(1,1))$ and some of its homogeneous spaces are introduced. Invariant integrals on $E_q(1,1)$ and its invariant discrete subgroup $E(1,1\mid p)$ are constructed. $*$--Representations of the quantum algebra $U_q(e(1,1))$ constructed in the homogeneous space $SO(1,1\mid p)$ are integrated to the pseudo--unitary representations of $E_q(1,1)$ by means of the universal $T$--matrix. $U_q(e(1,1))$ is realized on the quantum plane $E_q^{(1,1)}$ and the eigenfunctions of the complete set of observables are obtained in the angular momentum and momentum basis. The matrix elements of the pseudo--unitary irreducible representations are given in terms of the …


Generalized 2d Yang-Mills Theories: Large-N Limit And Phase Structure, Masoud Alimohammadi Jan 2000

Generalized 2d Yang-Mills Theories: Large-N Limit And Phase Structure, Masoud Alimohammadi

Turkish Journal of Physics

After review the 2D Yang--Mills theories (YM$_2$) and its large--$N$ behaviour, the Generalized 2D Yang--Mills theories (gYM$_2$) and their partition functions on a general two--dimensional Riemann surface are discussed.The large--$N$ behaviour of these models is studied in weak regime, and in strong regime, we restrict ourselves to $\phi^4$ gYM$_2$. We show that this model has a third order phase transition, similar to ordinary YM$_2$ theory.

Kerr Spinning Particle, A. Burinskii Jan 2000

Kerr Spinning Particle, A. Burinskii

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give a brief review of the problems connected with the model of spinning particle based on the Kerr geometry. We consider peculiarities of the Kerr rotating black hole solution in gravity, supergravity and low energy string theory. A non-trivial supergeneralization of the Kerr-Newman solution to broken N=2 supergravity is considered. \par The problem of source of the Kerr geometry is discussed, and we consider some arguments in favor of the supersymmetric Fermi-ball model for the Kerr source based on the Witten $U(1)\times U(\tilde 1)$ field model for superconducting strings.

Turkish Journal of Physics

Using the ground state candidates for Hydrophobic-Polar lattice model on a two dimensional square lattice, we exactly enumerate the native states of proteins with length up to 20 for a wide range of energy parameters. We find the reduced set of contact maps, ground state candidates, perfectly stable sequences and designability of configurations.


The Statistics Of Energy States Of A Hookean Model For Proteins, Ayşe Erzan, Erkan Tüzel Jan 2000

The Statistics Of Energy States Of A Hookean Model For Proteins, Ayşe Erzan, Erkan Tüzel

Turkish Journal of Physics

A generic model of a random polypeptide chain, with discrete torsional degrees of freedom and Hookean springs connecting pairs of hydrophobic residues, reproduces the energy probability distribution of real proteins over a very large range of energies. We show that this system with harmonic interactions, under dissipative dynamics driven by random noise, leads to a distribution of energy states obeying a modified one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with reflecting boundary conditions, and giving rise to distributions of the Wigner or inverse Gaussian form. A continuum approximation leads to a path integral formulation of the problem. PACS 5.65+b,5.70Ln,87.17.Aa

Multi-Species Asymmetric Exclusion Process In Ordered Sequential Update, M. Ebrahi̇m Fouladvand, Farhad Jafarpour Jan 2000

Multi-Species Asymmetric Exclusion Process In Ordered Sequential Update, M. Ebrahi̇m Fouladvand, Farhad Jafarpour

Turkish Journal of Physics

A multi-species generalization of the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is studied in ordered sequential and sub-lattice parallel updating schemes. In this model, particles hop with their own specific probabilities to their rightmost empty site and fast particles overtake slow ones with a definite probability. Using Matrix Product Ansatz (MPA), we obtain the relevant algebra, and study the uncorrelated stationary state of the model both for an open system and on a ring. A complete comparison between the physical results in these updates and those of random sequential introduced in [20,21] is made.

As an example of how spinor methods can be applied to the positive-mass theorem, a simple, spinor-based proof of the theorem is presented for the case of a single black hole. Generalisations of the theorem are also discussed.


Cosmological Adiabatic Geometric Phase Of A Scalar Field In A Bianchi Spacetime, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh Jan 2000

Cosmological Adiabatic Geometric Phase Of A Scalar Field In A Bianchi Spacetime, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh

Turkish Journal of Physics

A two-component formulation of the Klein-Gordon equation is used to investigate the cyclic and noncyclic adiabatic geometric phases due to spatially homogeneous (Bianchi) cosmological models. It is shown that no adiabatic geometric phases arise for Bianchi type I models. For general Bianchi type IX models the problem of the adiabatic geometric phase is shown to be equivalent to the one for nuclear quadrupole interactions of a spin. For these models nontrivial non-Abelian adiabatic geometrical phases may occur in general.

From Antibracket To Equivariant Characteristic Classes, Armen Nersessian

Turkish Journal of Physics

We equip the exterior algebra of Riemann manifold by the odd symplectic structure. Then, by its use we construct the equivariant even (pre)symplectic structure, whose Poincare - Cartan invariants of the second structure define the equivariant Euler classes of the surfaces.


Chaos In Closed Isotropic Cosmological Models With Steep Scalar Field Potential, A. V. Toporensky Jan 2000

Chaos In Closed Isotropic Cosmological Models With Steep Scalar Field Potential, A. V. Toporensky

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dynamics of closed scalar field FRW cosmological models is studied for several types of exponentially and more than exponentially steep potentials. The parameters of scalar field potentials which allow a chaotic behaviour are found from numerical investigations. It is argued that analytical studies of equation of motion at the Euclidean boundary can provide an important information about the properties of chaotic dynamics. Several types of transition from chaotic to regular dynamics are described.


Skyrmions From Harmonic Maps, Wojtek Zakrzewski Jan 2000

Skyrmions From Harmonic Maps, Wojtek Zakrzewski

Turkish Journal of Physics

We describe some relations between solitonic solutions of various models in different dimensions. We present some examples and then concentrate on some of our recent work (performed in collaboration with Ioannidou and Piette) \cite{IPZ} \cite{us2} which shows how some harmonic maps from $S^2$ to $CP^{N-1}$ can be used to find nontrivial spherically symmetric static solutions of the $SU(N)$ Skyrme model in 3 dimensions and to generate some of its low energy field configurations.


The Decay Of A Black Hole As A Quantum Dissipative Process, Carl Wolf Jan 2000

The Decay Of A Black Hole As A Quantum Dissipative Process, Carl Wolf

Turkish Journal of Physics

By considering the decay of a black hole as a result of the interaction of a quantum system with a dissipative vacuum, or in terms of string theory, the interaction of localized string modes with non-local string modes, we demonstrate how the single parameter representing dissipation can be calculated in terms of known fundamental constants. In view of the uncertainty embodied in all the present theories of black hole decay it is suggested that the approach of this note might provide fresh insight to the problem of black hole decay.

Associations Of X-Ray Binaries With Open Clusters And Supernova Remnants, Eni̇s Tuncer, H. Guseinov, Ü. Kiziloğlu, A. O. Allakhverdiev Jan 2000

Associations Of X-Ray Binaries With Open Clusters And Supernova Remnants, Eni̇s Tuncer, H. Guseinov, Ü. Kiziloğlu, A. O. Allakhverdiev

Turkish Journal of Physics

Searching for X-ray binaries projected on open clusters (OCs) and supernova remnants (SNRs), associations of X-ray binaries with OCs and SNRs in the Galaxy are discussed. Three of the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and four of the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are projected on open clusters. Five of HMXBs and six of LMXBs are projected on SNRs. The number of the HMXB projections are less than the LMXBs, which is not expected and is surprising since the objects in this study, except the LMXBs, are all young objects. Such associations help us improve distance and age estimates of …


A Glancing Incidence Exafs Study Of Evaporated Silver Films On Glass, Ahmet Bulut, Bünyami̇n Karabulut, Engi̇n Başaran, James Robinson Jan 2000

A Glancing Incidence Exafs Study Of Evaporated Silver Films On Glass, Ahmet Bulut, Bünyami̇n Karabulut, Engi̇n Başaran, James Robinson

Turkish Journal of Physics

A glancing incidence EXAFS experiment has been carried out with evaporated silver films on glass substrates. Prior to EXAFS data collection, a reflectivity curve was performed from which the critical angle for total external reflection of x-rays from surface were determined. The analysed EXAFS data revealed that there is a reduction in the coordination number and an increase in Debye-Waller factor compared to bulk values. These changes were explained in terms of grain size effect and the surface effects of the silver film.

The Effect Of Potassium Doping On Resistive Transitions And Transport Critical Current Of Bulk Ybco High-Tc Superconductors, S. Çelebi̇, A. Öztürk, İ. Karaca, U. Kölemen

Turkish Journal of Physics

We report on observations of the effect of potassium in YBCO (123) high temperature superconductors with nominal composition Y\( _{1-0,2x} \) Ba\( _{2-0.2x} \) K\( _{x} \) Cu\( _{3} \) O\( _{y} \). The electrical resistivity measurements show that the critical temperature T$_{c} \) (R=0) shifted slightly to lower temparature due to the K doping process. This process also decreases the transport critical current density and the activation energy for thermally activated flux flow. The magnetic field dependence of \( j_{c} \) was measured at 77 K after zero field cooling (ZFC) when the applied magnetic field is impressed (ZFCV) …


Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy For A Ptsi/P-Si Schottky Junction, Bülent Aslan, Raşi̇t Turan Jan 2000

Internal Photoemission Spectroscopy For A Ptsi/P-Si Schottky Junction, Bülent Aslan, Raşi̇t Turan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Properties of internal photoemission in a PtSi-Si Schottky junction have been studied. The traditional Fowler plot of a detector's photoyield is found to be nonlinear for values close to the barrier height of the junction. It is shown that the model that takes all scattering mechanisms into account provides a successful description for the experimental results. It is also shown that the photoemission spectrum is independent of temperature in agreement with this model. The properties of detector's ambient influence the photoemission spectrum for wavelength of 3 $\mu$m or less. A strong loss in the detector's response is observed at around …

Consistency Of The Born Approximation For Aharonov-Bohm Scattering With Massless Spin-1/2 Particles, Müge Boz, Namik Kemal Pak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The second order contribution for the relativistic scattering of massless spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles from an infinitely long solenoid, in the context of covariant perturbation theory, is calculated and shown to vanish. Thus, Born approximation is consistent for this case as well.

Interaction Between Cesium Chloride Molecules And Metal Atoms Under Coadsorption On A Single Graphite Layer On Iridium, N. M. Nasrullaev

Turkish Journal of Physics

Using the method of continuos flow to investigate the kinetics of reaction between atoms and molecules, the efficiency of substitution reactions (K, Na, Li)+ CsCl is shown to decrease. The efficiency is found to strongly depend on temperature tending to saturation with decreasing temperature. This fact is in accordance with Bonzel's concept.

Thermal Stability Of Fe_{85.5}B_{14.5} Metallic Glass, Asghari Maqsood, Ashfaq Ahmad

Turkish Journal of Physics

The thermal stability and crystallization behaviour of metallic glass Fe\( _{85.5} \)B\( _{14.5} \) were investigated by Dynamic Temperature Resistivity Measurement (DTRM) technique from room temperature to 1050K in forward and reverse mode at a heating rate of 40 K/hr. The slope of Resistivity-Temperature-Curve (RTC) changes sign and magnitude at the temperature where the transition takes place. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) was carried out at the heating rates of 10, 20, 30 \& 40 K/min. A comparison of the results of DTRM and DTA measurements shows that crystallization in this alloy is two-stage process. Activation energy for two crystallization steps …


The Magnetic Super-Exchange Coupling In Copper(Ii) Acetate Monohydrate And A Redetermination Of The Crystal Structure, Ayhan Elmali Jan 2000

The Magnetic Super-Exchange Coupling In Copper(Ii) Acetate Monohydrate And A Redetermination Of The Crystal Structure, Ayhan Elmali

Turkish Journal of Physics

The magnetic properties and redetermination of crystal structure of copper(II) acetate monohydrate have been studied. The copper(II) centers are separated by 2.617(1) \AA \ and antiferromagnetically coupled (-2J = 292.2 cm$^{-1}$), which follows from temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 4.2 to 300 K. The magnetic moment at 300 K is about 2.1 Bohr magnetons while 0.1 Bohr magnetons at 4.2 K. The magnetic susceptibility is at a maximum near 250 K and decreases rapidly as the temperature is lowered to liquid helium temperature.

Barrier Heights Of Antimony / And Bismuth / P -Silcon (100) Junctions, A. A. Oberafo, A. Z. Ziriki

Turkish Journal of Physics

Junctions were fabricated in vacuum of about $10^{-5}$ Torr by thermal evaporation of Sb or Bi onto chemically etched $p$-type silicon (100) substrates. The electrical properties were studied by current voltage (I-V) measurements. Some of the Sb and Bi junctions were heated-treated for $\frac{1}{2}$ hr at 200 and 150^oC, respectively. The barrier height (BH) was equal to 0.64 eV for both as-deposited and heat-treated Sb junctions, while it was 0.56 and 0.74 eV for as-deposited and heat-treated Bi Junctions, respectively. These observatimons indicate that for Sb junctions, annealing at a temperature of 200^oC resulted only in partial elimination of any …
