Zno-Based Nanostructures For Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor, Millaty Mustaqima, Chunli Liu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Since the prediction by Dietl et al. in the year 2000, extensive research activities have been focused on the ZnO-based diluted magnetic materials (DMSs). Earlier works were mainly performed using bulk or thin film materials with transition-metal doping, and diverse magnetic properties including ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism have been reported. Identifying the dominant mechanism of the ferromagnetic ordering and realizing reproducible ferromagnetism above room temperature have been the main research issues, but a consensus is still lacking even today. Recently, reports on ZnO nanostructures with ferromagnetic behavior have been growing due to the novel properties brought about by the high …

Turkish Journal of Physics

We investigated the properties of 7 different titanium dioxide nanostructures with different crystal structures (3 anatase, 2 rutile, and 2 mixed anatase--rutile phase). Nanoparticle samples and mesoporous sphere samples were investigated. Even for the same crystal structure, significant variations in performance were observed for anatase titania samples, while 2 rutile samples exhibited similar performance inferior to anatase-based anodes. Mixed-phase samples also exhibited lower specific capacity compared to the best performing anatase samples, and in this case a significant difference in performance was observed between nanoparticles and mesoporous spheres.

Furthermore, periodic arrays of vertically standing multiwalled carbon nanotubes are grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from catalyst islands that were prepatterned by NSL. Moreover, we discuss the applicability of NSL to rough surfaces and show that the ratio between nanosphere size and roughness is determinant of the resulting nanostructure produced. Excellent, limited, and bad applicability of NSL are shown for smooth, rough, and very rough surfaces, …


A Fission Model Approach To Alpha Decay And Cluster Radioactivity Of Dy, Er, And Yb Isotopes, Kizhakkath Kalam Girija, Antony Joseph Jan 2013

A Fission Model Approach To Alpha Decay And Cluster Radioactivity Of Dy, Er, And Yb Isotopes, Kizhakkath Kalam Girija, Antony Joseph

Turkish Journal of Physics

Rare earth nuclei are probable candidates for exhibiting cluster radioactivity. In the present work, a theoretical study of alpha decay and heavy cluster emission from Dy, Er, and Yb nuclei in the mass range 150 < A < 190 has been carried out in a fission model approach. Some of the proton-rich isotopes of these nuclei are found to have long half-lives, but within the measurable range. Many of the neutron-rich isotopes under consideration are far from beta stability and the most probable light clusters predicted are highly exotic in nature and the corresponding half-lives are extremely short. However, the decays of most probable heavy clusters predicted have half-lives in the measurable range. The calculations on neutron-rich isotopes indicate the emergence of new magic numbers for protons and neutrons. The centrifugal barrier effect on decay rate of some proton-rich Er isotopes is also investigated.

The Effect Of Neutron Irradiation On The Properties Of Tl_{0.6}Pb_{0.3}Cd_{0.1}Ba_2ca_2cu_{3}O_{9-Delta} Superconductors, Kareem Ali Jasim, Tariq Jaffar Alwan, Khalid Hadi Mahdi, Hazim Louis Mansour

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of neutron irradiation on phase purity, crystal structure, and electrical resistivity of Tl_{0.6}Pb_{0.3}Cd_{0.1} Ba_2Ca_2Cu_3O_{9-delta} superconductors has been studied before and after irradiation by electrical resistance measurements and X-ray diffraction techniques. The zero-resistance superconducting transition temperature, T_{c(offset)}, of samples systematically decreases by about 5 K with the increase of neutron irradiation fluence up 18.12 \times 10^{10} n cm^{-2}. The crystalline phases showed that the compounds have 2 phases, a high-Tc phase (1223) and low-Tc phase (1212), in addition to the impurity phase. The irradiation led to a decrease in oxygen content and volume fraction of high-Tc phase (1223).


Chaos And Its Control In Semiconductor Laser With Delayed Negative Optoelectronic Feedback, Guang-Yu Jiang, Juan Zhang, Yan Huang Jan 2013

Chaos And Its Control In Semiconductor Laser With Delayed Negative Optoelectronic Feedback, Guang-Yu Jiang, Juan Zhang, Yan Huang

Turkish Journal of Physics

We reveal theoretically chaos and its control in a semiconductor laser with delayed negative optoelectronic feedback. Under nonperiodic or sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the semiconductor laser exhibits rich nonlinear dynamics. For a given coupling constant, chaos is shown in a semiconductor laser directly injected by external light. For a photoelectric delayed negative-feedback scheme with sinusoidal period optoelectronic current, the laser can be controlled in single-periodic, dual-periodic, multi-periodic states, and even chaos. The results also illustrate what we think to be a new method to generate various period states in the chaos system.

Synthesis And Optical Characterization Of Zn_{1-X}Mg_Xs: Eu Nanoparticles, Alexander Nwabueze Amah, Audu Onoja, Richard Akpagher

Turkish Journal of Physics

Zn_{1-x}Mg_xS: Eu^{3+} nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile co-precipitation technique with varying magnesium concentrations (0 =< x =< 0.20). X-ray diffraction results showed a mixture of cubic and hexagonal structures. There was an observed peak shift towards higher angles, decrease in peak intensities, disappearance of other peaks, and increase in diffraction peak broadening as Mg concentration increased. The estimated average particle sizes ranged from 2.0 nm to 8.79 nm. Scanning electron microscopy results showed smooth and uniform surface morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray studies indicated that the samples contained mainly Zn, S, and Eu because of the low detection limit for Mg. UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometer results showed a blue shift in energy due to quantum confinement as Mg concentration increased.

Turkish Journal of Physics

The dynamics of a system subjected to a potential equal to the sum of the Hénon--Heiles potential and that of hydrogen in an electric field was studied. The 4 Hamilton's equations of motion follow from the Hamiltonian and they were integrated numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth order method. The Poincaré surface of a section fixed at x = 0 and px> 0 was used to reduce the phase space to a 2-dimensional plane. The analysis of the Poincaré surface, the Lyapunov exponent, and the autocorrelation shows that as the constant of motion, E, increases from 0.30 to 0.45, the dynamics …

Temperature Dependence For The Synthetic Magnetization Of A Rotating Bose Gas In Harmonic Trap, Azza M. Elbadry Jan 2013

Temperature Dependence For The Synthetic Magnetization Of A Rotating Bose Gas In Harmonic Trap, Azza M. Elbadry

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, the temperature dependence for synthetic magnetization \bar M of a rotating Bose gas in harmonic trap and the magnetic field dependence of the critical temperature are investigated. A simple semiclassical approximation for the density of state approach is used in this study. The suggested approach simultaneously gives corrections to quantities which arise from the finite size and interatomic interaction effects. The calculated results show that the critical temperature decreases due to the increase of the synthetic magnetic field. The synthetic magnetization also exhibits a characteristic temperature dependence. It is proportional to T^3 if \bar T < \bar T_c, while it is proportional to T if \bar T > \bar T_c. …

Recombination Mechanisms In Hydrogenated Silicon Nanocrystalline Thin Films, Zaki M. Saleh, Salam M. Kmail, Samah F. Assaf, Atif F. Qasrawi

Turkish Journal of Physics

The photoconductivity dependences on temperature and illumination intensity were investigated for thin films of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) grown by very-high-frequency, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The nanocrystalline phase was achieved by heavy hydrogen dilution of silane (SiH_4). We find that the activation energy of the photoconductivity is sensitive to the incident illumination intensity for illumination intensities below 6 mW/cm^2. The photocurrent follows a power-law dependence on illumination intensity (I_{ph}\propto F^{gamma}), with gamma ranging from 0.36 to 0.83. The illumination dependence of the photocurrent suggests 2 different recombination mechanisms depending on temperature. In the lower temperature regime (300-340 K), recombination appears …
