Isotope Effect And Phonon Softening In Superconducting Borocarbides And Boronitrides, Tuğrul Haki̇oğlu, Valery A. Ivanov Jan 1998

Isotope Effect And Phonon Softening In Superconducting Borocarbides And Boronitrides, Tuğrul Haki̇oğlu, Valery A. Ivanov

Turkish Journal of Physics

The isotope effect in the recently disvovered class o superconductors LuNi_2B_2C and La_3Ni_2B_2N_3 is investigated in the context of electron-squezed phonon interaction renormalizing the Ni-d electron-electron correlations. Squeezed phonon mode originates from the anharmonic character of the tetragonal Ni-B structure and is polarized in the vortical direction to the Ni layers. The isotope effect arises as a result of the zero point motion of the Ni-Ni d-electron hopping amplitude dominantly due to this vertical phonon mode. Within this model the isotope exponent is calculated to be \alpha_B \leq 0.20 as compared to the recently found experimental value \alpha_B^{exp} = 0.27 …


Structural And Optical Characterisation Of Vacuum Deposited Cdte Thin Films, Murat Bayhan Jan 1998

Structural And Optical Characterisation Of Vacuum Deposited Cdte Thin Films, Murat Bayhan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The structural and optical properties of vacuum deposited CdTe thin films on glass substrates were investigated. The effect of the heat treatment in air over the former properties of the layers was also examined. Grain sizes of air heated layers estimated by net broading in the XRD spectra were found to be larger than as-grown layers, confirming that grain growth had occurred during the heat treatment. RHEED patterns of the layers grown at substrate temperatures between 150°C and 170°C had a distinct \{111\} preferred orientation. As-grown CdTe layers were slightly p-type, but highly resistive. Air heat treated layers were p-type …

Anisotropic Motion Of Lipids In Hydrophobic Core Of Dppc Bilayers. Simulation Of Esr Spectra, Canan Teti̇k, Mustafa Korkmaz

Turkish Journal of Physics

Planar samples prepared by drying phospholipid dispersions on glass slides provide a convenient model to examine motion and orientation in lipid bilayer structures. In the present work, hydrophobic cores of DPPC multibilayers were studied using a 16-DSA spin label consisting of a nitroxide free radical bonded to the 16 position of stearic acid. This spin label is in great demand for investigation of phase transitions occurring in the hydrophobic cores of lipid multibilayers. Thus, its room temperature motional and orientational features in phospholipid bilayers must be known accurately to avoid any misinterpretation in using it in these types of studies. …

Doping Effects Of Ga And Te On The Kinetic Coefficients Of Rhombohedral And Cubic Phases Of Ge_{1-X} Ga_X Te Solid Solution Alloys, T. Atalay, M.H. Akperov Jan 1998

Doping Effects Of Ga And Te On The Kinetic Coefficients Of Rhombohedral And Cubic Phases Of Ge_{1-X} Ga_X Te Solid Solution Alloys, T. Atalay, M.H. Akperov

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study Ga and Te doping effects on the kinetic parameters (thermo e.m.f., electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, Hall and Nernst-Ettingshausen coefficients) of the rhombohedral and cubic phases of Ge_{1-x} Ga_x Te (0 < x \leq 0,06) solid solutions has been investigated between 77-900 K temperature intervals. Increase in the amount of Te increases hole concentration and reduces lattice constant, whereas rhombohedral propeties of GeTe rises with increase of Ga concentration. The observed anomalies on the kinetic parameters may be explained qualitatively by the complexity of the Fermi surface shape and the zone model of GeTe which involves the seperation of the L extremums that is same for ``\alpha'', ``\beta'' and ``\gamma'' phases of the compound.

Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım Jan 1998

Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this work, the performance improvement due to prefiltering of inputs in model-based frequency estimators is investigated based on simulation experiments. Initial estimates on the tone frequency locations, which are obtained via DFT peak picking type preanalysis, are used to design a prefilter to remove noise and interference. The simulations indicate that prefiltering can improve the accuracy of Pisarenko and AR frequency estimators and MUSIC and KT frequency estimators with low subspace order significantly. The SNR thresholds of model-based frequency estimators are lowered by prefiltering. Additionally, interesting trade-offs between prefiltering gain and the gain due to subspace noise filtering have …

The spatial distribution of magnetic flux density is extracted from the phase image. Current density is calculated using the magnetic flux density. This fairly recent technique is known as Magnetic Resonance Current Density …


Use Of The Magnetic Field Generated By The Internal Distribution Of Injected Currents For Electrical Impedance Tomography (Mr-Eit), Y. Zi̇ya İder, Özlem Bi̇rgül Jan 1998

Use Of The Magnetic Field Generated By The Internal Distribution Of Injected Currents For Electrical Impedance Tomography (Mr-Eit), Y. Zi̇ya İder, Özlem Bi̇rgül

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In two dimensional conventional Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), volume conductor is probed by means of injected currents, and peripheral voltage measurements are used as input to the reconstruction algorithm. The current that flows in the 2D object creates magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the plane of imaging. Such magnetic fields can be measured using magnetic resonance tomography. In this study, use of this magnetic field generated by the injected currents, for the purpose of reconstructing the conductivity distribution, is studied. Sensitivity matrix relating the magnetic field to the element conductivities is calculated using the Finite Element Method and Biot-Savart …

The sublattice of this variety \( (\mathbf{L}(\caL(\cam)) \) covers another lattice isomorphic to the lattice of all bands \( ([x^2 = x]). \) Every bundvariety \( \cau \) has as image the variety \( \Phi - \cau, \) which is the class of all semigroups, where \( \Phi \) is a \( \cau \)-congruence \( (a \Phi b \Leftrightarrow aSa = bSb). \) …


Theorems On Three-Term Relations For Hardy Sum, Y. Şi̇mşek Jan 1998

Theorems On Three-Term Relations For Hardy Sum, Y. Şi̇mşek

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Some three-term and mixed three-term relations for Hardy sums were given by Goldberg [7]. His proofs are based on Bernd's transformation formulae for the logarithms of the classical Theat-functions. Pettet and Sitaramachandararo [9] proved elementary proofs for all of Goldberg's results and also proved some three-term relations of Dedekind sums. In this paper, some new theorems on three-term relations for hardy sums were found by applying derivative operator to three-term polynomial relation. Furthermore, proofs of the reciprocity relations for Hardy sums are presented in a more concise way from the original proofs of Berndt [2, 3, 4] and Goldberg [7].

Elastic Scattering Of 344.5 Mev ^{12}C Ions From ^{11}B Nucleus, S.A.E. Khallaf, M.A. Abdel-Rahman, S.K. Abdel-Rahman, S.W.Z. Mahmoud

Turkish Journal of Physics

The angular distribution of the elastic scattering differential cross section of 344.5 MeV $^{12}$C ions from $^{11}$B nucleus is calculated and compared with the experimental data as well as the previously published calculations. The real part of the central optical potential is derived using the double-folding and single-folding procedures assuming Gaussian forms of the nucleon-nucleon and alpha-nucleon interactions, respectively. A nuclear matter density distribution function of $^{11}$B consisting of a spherical part plus a quadrupole term is used. The inclusion of the quadrupole term is found necessary to obtain good fits to the experimental data.


The Influence Of The Dispersion Of Boron Silicate On The Migration Of Non-Equilibrium Charge Carriers Generated By Eect Of An Electric Discharge, A.M. Hasanov Jan 1998

The Influence Of The Dispersion Of Boron Silicate On The Migration Of Non-Equilibrium Charge Carriers Generated By Eect Of An Electric Discharge, A.M. Hasanov

Turkish Journal of Physics

ESR was used in an investigation of the influence of Boron Silicate dispersion on the accumulation of paramagnetic centers (PC). It was observed that the rate of accumulation of PC increase by increasing of the grain size (r). At $r < 0.08$ mm the electrons ($F^+$-centers) are localized on the surface and with increasing grain size up to $0.08 < r < 0.22$ mm charge stratification takes place, the electrons are distributed in near-surface layer and the holes ($V$-centers) are localized in the bulk of the insulator. It was established that the transport of non-equilibrium charge carriers (NCC) from the bulk to the surface of Boron Silicate was due to a drift from the depth $(d \sim 10 \mu m)$ to a bulk-charge field generated by an electric discharge. The value of the surface field $E_s \sim 10^5 V/cm$ is determined by experimental results of the data. The kinetics of the isothermal annealing (300 K) are used to establish the influence of the surface field on the annihilation of NCC in the ''dead'' layer of separated charges.
