Characterizing Decaying Dark Matter: X-Ray Emission From Sterile Neutrinos, Murat Hüdaverdi̇
Characterizing Decaying Dark Matter: X-Ray Emission From Sterile Neutrinos, Murat Hüdaverdi̇
Turkish Journal of Physics
Recently, an unknown emission line at E $\sim$3.5 keV from several astrophysical objects has been detected. The line is suggested to be originating from decaying dark matter particles. The results have drawn great attention from the astrophysics and particle physics community. Since the detected line is significantly weak there has also been a long debate over the origin of this mysterious signal. The most accepted scenario is a radiatively decaying sterile neutrino of 7.1 keV in mass producing a monochromatic 3.5 keV line, which is observable in X-ray energy ranges. The problem has not been settled and further observations from …

Photon In A Cylindrical Resonant Cavity, Cavi̇t Teki̇nçay, Yusuf Sucu
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this study, the massless and massive spin-1 particle equations, derived from the excited states of the zitterbewegung model, are considered for the photon in the cylindrical resonant cavity background. The resonant frequencies of the particles are also obtained. We show that these frequencies become equivalent in the $M^{2}\to 0$ limit.

Nature Of Entropy In A Scalar-Tensor Theory Of Gravity, Onur Siğinç, Mustafa Salti, Hi̇lmi̇ Yanar, Oktay Aydoğdu
Turkish Journal of Physics
This work is devoted to studying the generalized nature of the entropy function in a specific form of the scalar-tensor-vector (STeVe) theory of gravity for the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in the state of thermal equilibrium. For this purpose, we define an equilibrium picture of thermodynamics by making use of a suitable set of the dark energy density and dark pressure descriptions, which defines an energy-momentum tensor obeying the local energy conservation law. Furthermore, we also discuss our results numerically in order to get additional implications.
Lattice Calculations For Two-Component Fermion Systems With Unequal Masses: Onedimension, Serdar Elhatisari
Lattice Calculations For Two-Component Fermion Systems With Unequal Masses: Onedimension, Serdar Elhatisari
Turkish Journal of Physics
We consider systems of two-component fermions with unequal masses and interacting via a short-range attractive potential. We discuss the case where the two-component fermions form a shallow dimer with large scattering length. The three-fermion and four-fermion systems with such properties are universal and characterized by the twofermion scattering length aff and the ratio of the mass of spin-↑ fermion to the mass of spin-↓ fermion, m↑/m↓. In this study, using lattice effective field theory, we analyze fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer systems and calculate the universal fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer scattering lengths for various values of the mass ratio m↑/m↓. We find that …

Isotopic Distribution In Projectile Fragments Above The Coulomb Barrier, Ayşegül Kaya, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul
Turkish Journal of Physics
We have studied fragmentation properties of projectiles in peripheral heavy-ion collisions within a statistical ensemble approach. Distributions of projectile fragments are calculated for the reaction systems 86Kr on 58;64Ni and are compared to the experimental data for the same reactions at projectile energy of 15 MeV/nucleon. We assume that the projectile nuclei capture many neutrons from the targets as a result of the multinucleon transfer reactions (direct and fast reactions) at the first step of the dynamical stage of the collisions, and then the excited spectators are formed during the preequilibrium process (multistep reactions) long before the statistical equilibrium stage, …
Lattice Modeling Of A Real Gas Revisited, Lisha Damodaran, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth
Lattice Modeling Of A Real Gas Revisited, Lisha Damodaran, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth
Turkish Journal of Physics
The spin-half Ising model has been used with remarkable success in describing magnetism and phase transition in magnetic materials. Likewise, the lattice gas model, which uses the spin-1 Ising model, was employed to investigate the phase transition in liquid-gas systems. In all the earlier lattice gas models, the kinetic energy of atoms occupying the various lattice sites were not considered for finding the equation of state. In this paper we use the Hamiltonian with kinetic energy and a modified equation of state is obtained. The isotherms of this model show the behavior of real gases at all pressures and they …
High Density Equation Of State And Condensation Of Ideal Bose Gas Using Mayer'sgenerating Function, Suresh Thelakkadan Puthiyaveettil, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth
High Density Equation Of State And Condensation Of Ideal Bose Gas Using Mayer'sgenerating Function, Suresh Thelakkadan Puthiyaveettil, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth
Turkish Journal of Physics
The equation of state of an ideal collection of bosons in the low-density and high-density regime are found using the method of cluster expansion with Mayer's generating function. The saturation density and the other thermodynamic properties are calculated by the application of Mayer's convergence of the partition function. By calculating the value of saturation density from the singularity of the partition function series, the differences between the Mayer series convergence and the virial series convergence for ideal bosons are also established.
Modeling Of A Sessile Droplet With The Curvature Dependence Of Surface Tension, Sergo Rekhviashvili, Aslan Sokurov
Modeling Of A Sessile Droplet With The Curvature Dependence Of Surface Tension, Sergo Rekhviashvili, Aslan Sokurov
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this paper, using the Gibbs dividing surface method, the formula that determines the curvature-dependent surface tension in a system with two phases is deduced. The well-known Tolman formula is a special case for this formula. The problem of a sessile droplet is considered. The Bashforth-Adams equation analogue in view of the curvaturedependent surface tension is obtained and the numerical solution of the equation is carried out. We show that if the droplet size is not so large compared to the thickness of the surface layer (micro- or nanodroplets), the dependence of the surface tension on the curvature is very …
The Field Blocking On The Interface With Nonlinear Response Between Nonlinearfocusing Media, Sergey Savotchenko
The Field Blocking On The Interface With Nonlinear Response Between Nonlinearfocusing Media, Sergey Savotchenko
Turkish Journal of Physics
We consider the nonlinear nonsymmetrical spatially distributed excitations near the thin layer with nonlinear properties separated with two media with Kerr-type focusing (positive) nonlinearity. We use the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonlinear potential containing two parameters to describe the new types of nonlinear stationary states. The problem is reduced to the solution of nonlinear Schrödinger equations on half spaces with the nonlinear boundary conditions at the interface plane. We obtain and analyze the two types of nonlinear excitations describing the effect of the field blocking passing through the interface into one half-space from another one. The field blocking effect is …
Multiple-Line Study Of Molecular Gas In Spiral Galaxy Ngc 2903, Selçuk Topal
Multiple-Line Study Of Molecular Gas In Spiral Galaxy Ngc 2903, Selçuk Topal
Turkish Journal of Physics
Multiple molecular lines with radiative transfer modeling are a powerful tool to probe the physics of starforming gas in galaxies. We investigate the gas properties in the center of spiral galaxy NGC 2903 using low-J CO lines, i.e. 12CO(1-0), 12CO(2-1), 12CO(3-2), 13CO(1-0), and HCN(1-0). We apply a nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer code to derive beam-averaged molecular gas properties. We use two methods (i.e. X2 minimization and likelihood) to define the best model representing the observed line ratios best. The line ratio diagnostics suggest that CO gas in the center of NGC 2903 is thinner and the dense gas fraction …
A Phenomenological Calculation For W+W- Diboson Production For The Largehadron Collider And Future Circular Collider, Kamuran Di̇lsi̇z, Hasan Oğul
A Phenomenological Calculation For W+W- Diboson Production For The Largehadron Collider And Future Circular Collider, Kamuran Di̇lsi̇z, Hasan Oğul
Turkish Journal of Physics
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been designed to collide beams of protons at 7, 8, 13, and 14 TeV center-of-mass energies and a new hadron collider called the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which is larger and more energetic than the LHC, is being planned for the near future. The maximum planned energy for FCC is 100 TeV center-of-mass energy. In this regard, we present the leading order and next-to-leading order cross-section predictions of two simultaneously produced opposite-sign W bosons at 7, 8, 13, 14, and 100 TeV center-of-mass energies by using the MCFM MC generator. The results …

Effect Of Al And Ga Codoping On The Morphological, Electronic, And Opticalproperties Of Zno Transparent Conductive Thin Films Prepared By Spray Pyrolysistechnique, Worapot Sripianem, Ratchatee Techapiesancharoenkij
Turkish Journal of Physics
Codoping a semiconductor thin film with two or more dopants is a feasible technique to improve the electrical properties of the thin film. In this work, we studied the codoping of Al and Ga n-type impurities in a ZnO film (AGZO) deposited on a glass substrate by the spray pyrolysis method. The total doping concentration, [Al + Ga]/[Al + Ga + Zn], was 5 at.% with varying Al:Ga codoping proportions of 0:5, 1.25:3.75, 2.5:2.5, 3.75:1.25, and 5:0 at.%. The effect of Al/Ga codoping on the structural, texture, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the AGZO films were investigated using X-ray …

Magnet Design For The Storage Ring Of Turkay, Zafer Nergi̇z
Turkish Journal of Physics
In synchrotron light sources the radiation is emitted from bending magnets and insertion devices (undulators, wigglers) placed on the storage ring by accelerating charged particles radially. The frequencies of produced radiation can range over the entire electromagnetic spectrum and have polarization characteristics. In synchrotron machines, the electron beam is forced to travel on a circular trajectory by the use of bending magnets. Quadrupole magnets are used to focus the beam. In this paper, we present the design studies for bending, quadrupole, and sextupole magnets for the storage ring of the Turkish synchrotron radiation source (TURKAY), which is in the design …

Monitoring Akkuyu Nuclear Reactor Using Antineutrino Flux Measurement, Sertaç Öztürk, Aytül Adigüzel, Veysi̇ Erkcan Özcan, Nafi̇z Gökhan Ünel
Turkish Journal of Physics
We present a simulation-based study for monitoring Akkuyu nuclear power plant's activity using antineutrino flux originating from the reactor core. A gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector was designed and optimization studies were performed using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. It was found that the bottom (or top) face of the target should be instrumented by six 10-inch-diameter photomultiplier tubes with photon detection efficiency of about 35% and the optimum Gd concentration was found to be about 0.3%-0.5%. The first study on the design of a monitoring detector facility for Akkuyu nuclear power plant is discussed in this paper.
Study Of The Energetic Field Characteristics Of The Te-Modalwaves In Waveguides, Fati̇h Erden
Study Of The Energetic Field Characteristics Of The Te-Modalwaves In Waveguides, Fati̇h Erden
Turkish Journal of Physics
The energetic characteristics of cylindrical medium-free time-domain waveguide fields are solved within the framework of the evolutionary approach to electromagnetics. Solving the boundary-eigenvalue problem for transverse Laplacian yields a configurational basis in the waveguide cross section. Elements of the basis depend on transverse coordinates, whereas the modal amplitudes depend on the longitudinal coordinate, $z,$ and time, $t$. Solving the resulted Klein-Gordon equation yields a basis for analysis of the modal amplitudes. Exact solutions for the amplitudes of TE-modes are obtained, and the energetic field characteristics are derived in accordance with the causality principle.

Turkish Journal of Physics
In this work, we investigated the excitation functions of proton-induced reactions on even-even $^{94-100}$Mo isotopes for the production of medical radioisotopes $^{94m, 94g, 96m, 96g, 96, 99m}$Tc. To obtain the excitation functions we carried out cross-section calculations in the frameworks of the generalized superfluid model, microscopic level density model, and three options of the preequilibrium process in the Talys code. The aim of this study was to introduce a new aspect for the production of radioisotopes $^{94m, 94g, 96m, 96g, 96, 99m}$Tc with different models.

Search Of Islands Of Stability For Hypothetical Superheavy Nuclei Using Covariant Density Functional Theory, Hazem Abusara, Shakeb Ahmad
Search Of Islands Of Stability For Hypothetical Superheavy Nuclei Using Covariant Density Functional Theory, Hazem Abusara, Shakeb Ahmad
Turkish Journal of Physics
A systematic search for the location of islands of stability has been performed for the proton number $100\le Z\le 220$ and the neutron number $Z+30\le N\le 2Z+30$ using covariant density functional theory (CDFT), a relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) formalism with separable pairing, for two different force parameters, DD-ME2 and NL3*. Locations of the islands of stability are identified by analysis of the two-neutron and two-proton separation energy, two-nucleon shell gaps, vanishing neutron and proton pairing gap, energy surface, and the single particle states. The results show that beyond $^{292}120$ only Z = 154 and N $>$ 220 can be a …
Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor: Structure, Size And Shape, And Magnetic Properties, Muhammet Arucu
Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor: Structure, Size And Shape, And Magnetic Properties, Muhammet Arucu
Turkish Journal of Physics
In dilute magnetic metallic alloys, spin exchange interactions among transition metal ions at the ZnO structure cause changes in the magnetic properties of the nanocrystals depending on size and shape. The effect of size and shape on the structural and magnetic properties of semiconductors, using atomistic spin calculations, is the main topic of this study. When the size of the system decreases to a few nanometers, stability is not observed as a result of the large size. We theoretically examine the magnetic properties of CoZnO materials according to size and shape effects using the Monte Carlo method and the Heisenberg …

Triangular Quantum Profiles: Transmission Probability And Energy Spectrum, Altuğ Arda
Turkish Journal of Physics
Analytical expressions for the transition probability and the energy spectrum of the 1D Schrödinger equation with position-dependent mass are presented for the triangular quantum barrier and quantum well. The transmission coefficient is obtained by using the wave functions written in terms of Airy's functions and of the solutions of Kummer's differential equation. In order to show the validity of our analysis, an example by taking some numerical values for a GaAs heterostructure is presented.
Determination Of Height Profile From A Two-Dimensional Fringe Signal Using A Two-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform, Özlem Kocahan Yilmaz
Determination Of Height Profile From A Two-Dimensional Fringe Signal Using A Two-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform, Özlem Kocahan Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Physics
The main objective of this study was 3-dimensional (3D) profile measurements with standard fringe projection, consisting of a CCD and a projector. For obtaining height information of objects pixel by pixel, phases have to be calculated from the images taken by the fringe projection technique. In this study, the 2-dimensional continuous wavelet transform (2D CWT) phase method was used for phase extraction. 1D and 2D CWT analyses of noisy images were compared in simulations performed for a 2-dimensional fringe signal by introducing the carrier frequencies in two spatial directions, $x $ and $y$. Profile measurement of an object was made …
Investigation Of Low-Lying Magnetic Dipole Excitations In The $^{153}$Eu Nucleus, Emre Tabar
Investigation Of Low-Lying Magnetic Dipole Excitations In The $^{153}$Eu Nucleus, Emre Tabar
Turkish Journal of Physics
The properties of low-lying magnetic dipole ($M$1) excitations in $^{153}$Eu were studied within a rotational invariant quasiparticle phonon model that takes into account the symmetry-restoring as well as spin-spin residual forces. The calculations show that there are purely collective $M$1 excitations lying at 2-4 MeV fragmented over orbital 1$^{+}$ states of the $^{152}$Sm core nucleus. The results were compared to the experimentally known $M$1 excitations at 2-3 MeV. A reasonably good agreement in the total transition strength, the centroid energy, and the resonance width was obtained.
Localization Of A Nonlocal Interaction, Ujjwal Laha, Sanjib Kr Das, Jhasaketan Bhoi
Localization Of A Nonlocal Interaction, Ujjwal Laha, Sanjib Kr Das, Jhasaketan Bhoi
Turkish Journal of Physics
A simple method for the localization of a separable nonlocal interaction is formulated in terms of Green's functions and the solutions with regular and irregular boundary conditions. The constructed energy--momentum-dependent local potential with regular boundary condition is real while that for the irregular boundary condition is complex in nature. The phase function method is exploited to compute elastic scattering phases for the nucleon--nucleon and alpha--nucleon systems. Reasonable agreements in scattering phase shifts with experimental data are obtained, particularly, in the low energy range for the systems under consideration. The phase shifts for the imaginary parts of the potentials derived from …
Investigating The Instability Of The Torus Around The Blackhole In The Presence Of The Radial And Angular Velocity Perturbations, Orhan Dönmez
Turkish Journal of Physics
We have performed the numerical simulation of the perturbed relativistic torus around the black hole by solving the general relativistic hydrodynamics equations on the equatorial plane. We have monitored the different simple models by applying the radial and angular velocity perturbations to the steady state torus around the black hole. The instabilities are triggered by adding the subsonic velocity fields over the radial and angular velocities of the stable torus. We have found the disk instability so-called the Papaloizou-Pringle instability and excited modes of the Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the thin disk approximation case. The significant oscillations and oscillation modes …

Prompt Fission Neutron Energy Spectrum Of $^{252}Cf$ In Center Of Mass And Laboratory Systems, Mehmet Koçak, Humbat Ahmadov
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this work we discuss the influence of different forms of prompt fission neutron energy spectra in the fission fragment center of mass system on the laboratory spectrum of neutrons in spontaneous fission of $^{252}Cf$. We show that the Le Couteur spectrum, which takes into account multiple neutron emission of neutrons in the center of mass system, describes the observed neutron energy spectrum well when transformed to the laboratory system.

A Quartz Crystal Microbalance Study Of The Adsorption Of Benzene And Acetone Vapors Onto Coumarin-Substituted Manganese Phthalocyanine Film, Bi̇rsel Can Ömür, Ahmet Altindal
Turkish Journal of Physics
A novel coumarin-substituted manganese phthalocyanine (5) was successfully synthesized and used as sensing element for benzene and acetone vapor detection. The effects of water vapor on the benzene and acetone vapor-sensing properties and adsorption isotherms on thin film of 5 were also studied. Our preliminary results indicated that the presence of humidity modifies the baseline frequency but not the sensitivity of the sensor toward benzene and acetone vapors. Two isotherm models, Langmuir and Jovanovic isotherms, were selected to describe the adsorption process. Linear regression analysis, which is the most basic and commonly used predictive analysis method, was used to estimate …

Indium sulfide thin films were deposited onto indium-doped tin-oxide substrates with different deposition times (60 h, 63 h, 66 h, and 69 h) at room temperature by using a chemical bath deposition method to obtain new structures for solar cells. The film obtained at 60 h was annealed at 400 $^{\circ}$C for 1 h in nitrogen media. The crystallographic structure of the films was observed via the X-ray diffraction pattern while the size and shape of the grains were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the optical transmission spectra of the films were obtained at room temperature in the wavelength …
Spin (Pseudospin) Doublet In View Of Energy-Dependent Potential, Mustafa Salti, Oktay Aydoğdu
Spin (Pseudospin) Doublet In View Of Energy-Dependent Potential, Mustafa Salti, Oktay Aydoğdu
Turkish Journal of Physics
Behavior of Dirac particles in the presence of scalar, vector, and tensor potentials respectively represented by energy-dependent Morse and Coulomb-like potentials is examined by working out the Dirac equation under the condition of spin (pseudospin) symmetry. The closed form of the energy eigenvalue equation and corresponding wave functions in terms of hypergeometric functions are acquired by making use of the asymptotic iteration method. We investigate the effect of energy-dependent potential on both bound states and energy splitting between members of spin (pseudospin) doublets.

In this paper, using the optical emission spectroscopy technique, a comparative study is performed on the argon excitation and nitrogen vibrational temperatures in the plasma discharge medium of a manufactured RF plasma jet. The argon contribution in the Ar/N$_{2}$ mixture is varied from 70% to 98% and the obtained optical emission spectra from argon and molecular nitrogen are analyzed. The highest emission intensities of neutral argon (Ar I) are recorded in the wavelength range of 790-850 nm. It is seen that, at the higher argon percentages in the mixture, the emission intensity from all the formed species in the plasma …
