Variation Of Chemical Potential Oscillations Of A 2deg In A Quantum Well Under A Magnetic Field For Multiple Sub-Band Occupation As Function Of Temperature And Level-Broadening, Berri̇n Özdemi̇r, Zeki̇ Yarar, Meti̇n Özdemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study the variation of chemical potential in a two dimensional electron gas in a uniform magnetic field as a function of temperature and level-broadening parameter. Schrödinger and Poisson equations are solved self-consistently for a two dimensional electron gas formed in a Ga_xAl_{1-x}As/GaAs quantum well, to numerically determine the potential profile, empty or occupied energy sub-bands, the wavefunctions and electron concentrations corresponding to each sub-band at various temperatures. Then assuming that the electron concentration is not altered, the variation of chemical potential with respect to both temperature and energy level-broadening parameter is studied under a uniform and constant magnetic field. …


Numerical Simulation Of Soliton Pulse Propagation In Doped Optical Fibres By Finite-Difference Method, Adams Usman, Junaidah Osman, D. R. Tilley Jan 2004

Numerical Simulation Of Soliton Pulse Propagation In Doped Optical Fibres By Finite-Difference Method, Adams Usman, Junaidah Osman, D. R. Tilley

Turkish Journal of Physics

We report results of applications of explicit finite-difference schemes, viz. the combination of forward-difference and central-difference approximation schemes, to study a simulation of soliton pulse propagation in saturable optical fibres. The dynamic governing equation is the saturable nonlinear Schrödinger equation (SNLE). This equation thus far lacks analytical solution in the sense of the inverse scattering method, although an analytical solitary wave solution is available. We use the localized solution to generate data for simulations of fundamental and second order soliton pulse propagation. In addition, we check the numerical accuracy of the results by considering the physical significance of two conserved …

Effect Of Iron Concentrations On Some Physical Properties Of The System Li_{0.5}Fe_{X}Ga_{2.5 - X}O_{4}, Abd El-Raouf Tawfik, N. Tashtoush, O.M. Hemeda

Turkish Journal of Physics

A series of Li_{0.5} Fe_{x} Ga_{2.5 - x} O_{4} systems were prepared for x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 by the general ceramic method. X-ray diffraction showed that all compositions have single phase Spinel cubic structure. The lattice parameter increased with enhancing iron concentration. The thermoelectric coefficient decreased with increasing x, and the majority carriers are holes. The increase of the jump length of hole increased the electrical conductivity. Jump-length increased with iron concentration and the rate of jumping gave rise to the electrical conductivity. The concentration of Fe^{3 +} ions in Lithium gallate is important, for such …

Amps-1d Modeling Of A-Si:H N^{+}-I-N^{+} Structure: The Validity Of Space Charge Limited Current Analysis, Aynur Eray, G. Nobile

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, the AMPS-1D (Analysis of Microelectronic and photonic structure) simulation program is used to understand the origin of the differences observed in Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC) analysis in thin and thick a-Si:H n^{ +} -i- n^{+} structure. For that purpose, the problem of applicability of SCLC measurements to n^{+}-i-n^{+} a-Si:H samples are investigated by using both the thin (0.3 \mu m) and thick (3 \mu m) samples. The simulation results show that activation energy in thick samples is larger than in thinner samples, which are an agreement with the experimental results. It is emphasized that this method …

Ac Conductivity And Dielectric Study Of Chalcogenide Glasses Of Se-Te-Ge System, Fathy Salman

Turkish Journal of Physics

The ac conductivity and dielectric properties of glassy system Se_{x}Te_{79 - x}Ge_{21}, with x = 11, 14, 17 at.%, has been studied at temperatures 300 to 450 K and over a wide range of frequencies (50 Hz to 500 kHz). Experimental results indicate that the ac conductivity and the dielectric constants depend on temperature, frequency and Se content. The conductivity as a function of frequency exhibited two components: dc conductivity \sigma _{dc}, and ac conductivity \sigma _{ac}, where \sigma _{ac} \sim \omega ^{s}. The mechanism of ac conductivity can be reasonably interpreted in terms of the correlated barrier hopping model …

Turkish Journal of Physics

A series of ternary lead-magnesium chlorophosphate glasses, (PbCl_{2})_{x}(MgO)_{1 - x}(P_{2}O_{5})_{0.4}, of various compositions with 0.3 \le x \le 0.45 have been successfully prepared and their elastic properties have been characterized at room temperature. Results from the studies show that both the longitudinal and shear wave velocities decrease with increase of PbCl_{2} composition. The elastic constants C_{11}, C_{44} and Young's modulus show a decreasing trend while the elastic constant C_{12}, bulk modulus and Poisson's ratio show an increasing trend as the fraction of PbCl_{2} increases. This behavior of the elastic properties is related to the change in the structure of glasses …


The Normal And Inverted Meyer-Neldel Rule In The Ac Conductivity, Fouad Abdel-Wahab Jan 2004

The Normal And Inverted Meyer-Neldel Rule In The Ac Conductivity, Fouad Abdel-Wahab

Turkish Journal of Physics

Recently, a new approach has been proposed for the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model where the ac relaxation time is thought to obey the Meyer-Neldel (MN) rule. This approach gives quantitative agreement with some reliable published experimental data. We report on an experiment involving the characterization of the ac conductivity of Se-Te thin films over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures, carried out in order to confirm applicability of the MN rule to the ac conductivity. In addition to the normal MN rule, the inverted MN rule was observed.

Design And Preparation Of Antireflection And Reflection Optical Coatings, Özlem Duyar, H. Zafer Durusoy

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, reflective and antireflective coatings were designed and simulated. Optical transmission and reflection values were deduced with a matrix formulation via a personal computer. It was found that the number of layers affects the optical performance. The width of the high-reflectance region in the reflectance curves decreases, while its height increases with the increasing number of layers for the reflective coating design. The antireflection coatings transmit about 99.89% in a broad high-pass band at the central wavelength of \lambda_{0} = 450 nm. In addition, simulated Fabry-Perot filters result in a single sharp transmittance peak at the desired central …

In particular, the procedure given here is useful in determining eigenstates of the Jaynes-Cummings …


On Electron Mobility In A Rectangular Quantum Wire Due To Alloy Disorder, Guseyn Behbudoglu Ibragimov Jan 2004

On Electron Mobility In A Rectangular Quantum Wire Due To Alloy Disorder, Guseyn Behbudoglu Ibragimov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Analytic expressions are derived to describe the electron mobility and relaxation rate in the rectangular quantum wire experiencing scattering due to alloy disorder. The dependence of electron mobility on the temperature and transverse dimension is numerically evaluated and it is found that the mobility increases continuously with temperature, because there is no new intersubband scattering with increase in temperature. It is shown that the alternating increase/decrease in the mobility---depending on the transverse dimension of the quantum wire---occurs due to intersubband scattering. It is found that the mobility in a quantum wire is significantly greater than mobility in a quantum well.


Raman Scattering In Layered Cdingas_4, Aydin Kulibekov Jan 2004

Raman Scattering In Layered Cdingas_4, Aydin Kulibekov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Raman scattering spectra of CdInGaS_4 crystals grown by the chemical transport method were measured at room and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. Band pairs at 29-38, 43-48 and 60-65 cm^{-1} are reported for the first time. The origin of these bands is attributed to the Davydov doublets, arising due to a small interlayer interaction. Seventeen bands observed in the Raman spectra are assigned to normal modes on the basis of the C_{3v}^1 space group. This modification contains two layers per unit cell and do not have inversion symmetry. It is shown that the crystals grown from the vapor phase and by the Bridgman …

Simulation Of Millimeter-Wave Gunn Oscillations In Gallium Nitride, Cem Sevi̇k, Ceyhun Bulutay

Turkish Journal of Physics

High field transport in wide bandgap semiconductors like GaN is of great technological importance. The negative differential mobility regime at high fields, under suitable conditions, can lead to millimeter-wave Gunn oscillations. Using extensive simulation based an ensemble Monte Carlo technique, the prospects of GaN Gunn diodes are theoretically investigated. The possibility of operating these Gunn diodes at their higher harmonic modes are explored. The main finding of this research is that the carrier dynamics in GaN can be tailored by an optimum choice of doping profile, temperature and bias conditions so that the efficiency of higher harmonic Gunn oscillations can …

Structural Characterization And Magnetization Of Mg_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}Y_{X}Fe_{2-X}O_4 Ferrites, Mansour Al-Haj

Turkish Journal of Physics

Mg_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}Y_xFe_{2-x}O_4 ferrites were prepared by the solid state reaction method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. A single spinel phase was obtained in the range 0 \le x \le 0.08. The lattice parameter was found to increase with the increase of x except at x = 0.08, which may indicate a distortion in the spinel lattice. The saturation magnetization was found to decrease with increasing x due to replacement of the magnetic Fe^{3+} ions by the nonmagnetic Y^{3+} ions.

Quantum Statistical Entropy Of Sen Black Hole, Zhao Ren, Wu Yueqin, Zhang Lichun

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, by using quantum statistical methods, we directly obtain the partition function of Bose field and Fermi field on the background of the axisymmetrical Sen black hole. The difficult-to-solve wave equation is avoided. Then via the improved brick-wall method and membrane model, we calculate the entropy of Bose field and Fermi field of the black hole. We find that the entropy of the black hole is proportional to the area of the horizon. In our results, we do not encounter the left out term nor the divergent logarithmic term that appears in the original brick-wall method. The question …

The particle size of the given samples was measured from the Scherer equation and a correlation was found between particle size, and structural and magnetic properties. The XRF confirmed the presence of …


The Born Scattering Amplitude Of A Non-Relativistic Spin One-Half Particle In An Aharonov-Bohm Potentia, Yousef Romia, Mohammad Shikakhwa Jan 2004

The Born Scattering Amplitude Of A Non-Relativistic Spin One-Half Particle In An Aharonov-Bohm Potentia, Yousef Romia, Mohammad Shikakhwa

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Born scattering amplitude of a non-relativistic spin one-half particle in an Aharonov-Bohm potential is calculated up to second order. It is demonstrated that perturbation theory works well for this model, in contrast with the case of scalar particles, thanks to the spin-magnetic moment interaction term. The first order amplitude is shown to coincide with the exact amplitude when expanded to the same order; the second order amplitude is finite and null. The polarized scattering cross section is found to be different from the unpolarized one only if the incident particle has a spin component perpendicular to the flux tube.
