Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar Jan 2000

Effects Of Disorder On The Drag Rate In Double Quantum-Wire Systems, B. Tanatar

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the Coulomb drag rate for electrons in a double quantum-wire structure in the presence of disorder. We use the particle number-conserving relaxation-time approximation to phenomenologically broaden the response functions entering the drag rate expression to account for the disorder effects. In contrast to the usual low-temperature regime investigated by various researchers, we focus our attention on the high-temperature drag rate to which plasmon modes are known to make substantial contribution. The full wave vector and frequency dependent random-phase approximation (RPA) at finite temperature and disorder strength is employed to describe the effective interlayer Coulomb interaction. The interplay between …

Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy Jan 2000

Steady States Of Dynamically Coupled Two-Species Systems, Muntasi̇r Barma, Sri̇ram Ramaswamy

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the steady states of two stochastic lattice models with two species of particles, where the local mobility of one species depends on the spatial distribution of the other. The eigenvalues of a $2\times 2$ matrix of couplings can develop imaginary parts, and the question arises whether this implies an instability to a macroscopically different steady state. In the first model, where the mobility depends on the local density of the other species, we show that the system undergoes macroscopic phase separation. In the second model, where the mobility depends on the second derivative of the density of the …


The Radius Cutoff For Relativistic Clusters, M. Hafizi Jan 2000

The Radius Cutoff For Relativistic Clusters, M. Hafizi

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work we consider an isothermic relativistic kinetic gas under relativistic conditions, as a model for high center density galaxies. We apply the radius cutoff of the Emden type, in order to remove infinities. Numerically we find some theoretical configurations with very high values of masses concentrated in small volumes. Profiles of some thermodynamic quantities such as density, presure, will be independent from the choice of radius cutoff, whereas temperature and gravitational potential depend essentially on the cutoff value.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations Of Super Heated Ni_4 Cluster, M. Haluk Güven

Turkish Journal of Physics

The fragmentation mechanism of the super heated Ni4 cluster is studied by employing the microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations and an empirical model potential. Ni$_{4}$ cluster is heated up above the bulk Ni evaporation point temperature and then classical trajectory analysis as well as RRK theory are used to calculate survival probability, evaporation rate, average kinetic energy release and dissociation energy.


Radioluminescent Properties Of Cds(Ag) Crystals, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, F. Esen Özsan Jan 2000

Radioluminescent Properties Of Cds(Ag) Crystals, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, F. Esen Özsan

Turkish Journal of Physics

The radioluminescent proporties of silver-doped cadmium sulphide, CdS(Ag), crystals excited by 5.5 MeV $ \alpha $-particles from an $ ^{241}$Am radioactive source have been investigated. The emission spectra, decay profiles and thermal quenching curves were obtained accurately at temperatures between 80 K and 300 K. Two main radioluminescent emission bands centered at about 5760 \AA\ and 5940 \AA\ were observed. Their decay curves were found to be fast and nonexponential. From the thermal quenching of radioluminescence, the activation energies of centers responsible for these emissions were determined. The results are interpreted as the radioluminescence is possibly due to donor-acceptor pair …

K-Vacancy Production In The Collision Of Highly Charged Relativistic Ions With Heavy Atoms, P. K. Khabibullaev, V. I. Matveev, D. U. Matrasulov

Turkish Journal of Physics

A general expression for the cross section of the inelastic collision of relativistic highly charged ion with heavy (relativistic) atoms is obtained using the generalized eikonal approximation. In the ultrarelativistic limit, the obtained formula coincides with a known exact one. As an application of the obtained result, probability and cross section of the K-vacany production in the $U^{92+} - U^{91+}$ collision are calculated.

We studied the static mass-radius relation of white dwarf stars with masses greater than 0.45 $M_\odot$. We assumed pure degenerate helium interiors at a finite temperature with luminosity-mass ratio due to neutrino energy loss. We compared the obtained M-R relation with those of other writers.


An Extended Adiabatic Approach For Nuclear Reactions, Mustafa Yilmaz, Bülent Gönül Jan 2000

An Extended Adiabatic Approach For Nuclear Reactions, Mustafa Yilmaz, Bülent Gönül

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this letter, an alternative approximation is developed for the treatment of breakup process in nuclear reactions, which presents a way of evaluating non-adiabatic corrections to the adiabatic model three-body wavefunction by introducing a more consistent prescription for the continuum n-p center of mass energy. Although the present formalism goes beyond the quasi-adiabatic approach, due to the use of exact continuum channel energies, its application to deuteron involving reactions at medium energies shows that such an approach can not be used in its present form. A possible reason behind this failure is discussed.

A Local-Pair Mechanism For High-Temperature Superconductivity At The Di- And Trivalent Sites, John A. Wilson, Ali̇ İhsan Demi̇rel Jan 2000

A Local-Pair Mechanism For High-Temperature Superconductivity At The Di- And Trivalent Sites, John A. Wilson, Ali̇ İhsan Demi̇rel

Turkish Journal of Physics

The \( p/d \) hybridization that primarily characterizes copper leads to local moments, lacking of the pair-breaking variety, both at di- and trivalent sites. Support for the negative-U model is extracted from the author's earlier work on the metal-insulator transition. A more magnetically oriented model, like the resonant valence band model which we have recently associated with our observations in d1 TiOCl etc., does not really seem suited to the geometry and electronic conditions in the copper oxides present. However it is suggested that TiB$_2$, La$_3$S$_4$ and the Chevrel phases might be open to treatment by such a model. Comment …

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

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.


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

A Detour In De Sitter Space While Calculating Vacuum Fluctuatins, M. Hortaçsu Jan 2000

A Detour In De Sitter Space While Calculating Vacuum Fluctuatins, M. Hortaçsu

Turkish Journal of Physics

{We study vacuum fluctuations of different gravitational waves by taking a detour in de Sitter space in the intermediate steps. We find finite contributions when the coupling constant is dimensionless, whereas null result persists in the cases with dimensional coupling constants. We also test our method for exactly solvable cases, and show that no spurious perturbative effects are introduced through our method.


Product Integral Representations Of Wilson Lines And Wilson Loops And Non-Abelian Stokes Theorem, Robert L. Karp, Freydoon Mansouri, Jung S. Rno Jan 2000

Product Integral Representations Of Wilson Lines And Wilson Loops And Non-Abelian Stokes Theorem, Robert L. Karp, Freydoon Mansouri, Jung S. Rno

Turkish Journal of Physics

We make use of product integrals to provide an unambiguous mathematical representation of Wilson line and Wilson loop operators. Then, drawing upon various properties of product integrals, we discuss such properties of Wilson lines and Wilson loops as approximating them with partial sums, their convergence, and their behavior under gauge transformations. We also obtain a surface product integral representation for the Wilson loop operator. The result can be interpreted as the non-abelian version of Stokes theorem.
