Optical Characterization Of Fe^{3+} Doped Cds Nanoparticles Synthesized By Wet-Chemical Route, Seyed Mohammad Taheri Otaqsara, Mohammad Hassan Yousefi, Ali Azam Khosravi
Optical Characterization Of Fe^{3+} Doped Cds Nanoparticles Synthesized By Wet-Chemical Route, Seyed Mohammad Taheri Otaqsara, Mohammad Hassan Yousefi, Ali Azam Khosravi
Turkish Journal of Physics
Fe^{3+} doped CdS nanoparticles using Mercaptoethanol as a capping agent were prepared by colloidal wet-chemical method. UV-VIS spectra show that Fe-doping can effectively tune energy band structure, i.e. a large blue shift (\sim 30 nm) with increasing Fe concentration. PL measurement of doped CdS nanoparticles shows an additional emission band at \sim 532 nm, which can be due to radiative transition of dopant level to ground state. X-ray diffraction patterns studies revealed cubic crystal phase. TEM micrographs show a spherical shape and nearly well distribution with an average particle size of \sim 4 nm.

Effective Size And Expansion Energy Of A Bose-Einstein Condensate In A 3d Non-Cubic Optical Lattice, Shemi S. M. Soliman
Turkish Journal of Physics
This work is devoted to study the temperature dependence of the effective size and expansion energy E_{x,z} of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3D non-cubic optical lattice. Correction due to the finite size, interatomic interaction and the deepness of the lattice potential are given simultaneously. The calculated results show that these two parameters increase with the lattice depth or the relative frequency at temperature less than the transition temperature, (T < T_o); yet it has little effect at temperatures higher than the transition temperature (T > T_o). Both the effective size and expansion energy follow a characteristic temperature dependence, i.e. , E \propto(T/T_0)^4 if T < T_0 and , E \propto (T/T_0) if T > T_0. For a 3D non cubic optical potential the effect of …

Dynamical Behavior Of Traveling Wave Solutions For The K(2,2) Equation, Lina Zhang
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this paper, we discuss the qualitative behavior of degenerate singular points for the K(2,2) equation. By analyzing the different dynamical behaviors of the singular system and its associated regular system, we come to the conclusion that for the singular system the smoothness property of its orbits, which have intersection point(s) with the singular straight line, will not be destroyed. Meanwhile, the corresponding smooth traveling wave solutions for the K(2,2) equation are obtained.

2n-Dimensional At Fujii Model Instanton-Like Solutions And Coupling Constant's Role Between Instantons With Higher Derivatives, Mehmet Keçeci̇
Turkish Journal of Physics
An instanton-like solution is considered for a class of two-dimensional conformal model with Liouville term. The model expressed here is a new higher-dimensional model with scalar-spinor interaction on even-dimensional spaces, and is a generalization of the even-dimensional Fujii model. A recurrence relation for the Fujii model and coupling constant's indices between relations with interaction constant is extracted. The behavior of Gürsey, Akdeniz-Smailagi' c and Fujii coupling constants in 4-dimensional conformal models are examined.

Influence Of Doping And Heat Treatments On Carriers Mobility In Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films For Photovoltaic Application, Beddiaf Zaidi, Bouzid Hadjoudja, Houda Felfli, Allaoua Chibani
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this work, we investigate the influence of doping as well as heat treatments on the mobility of the carriers in polycrystalline silicon layers. It was found that any increase in both parameters leads to an increase in the mobility of the carriers. Such mobilities were shown to be higher in boron doped layers that those doped with arsenic. Moreover, for strong arsenic doping, after the initial increase, we observed a saturation region followed by a final decrease of carrier mobility.

Turkish Journal of Physics
The structural and optical properties of CdTe thin films prepared at a low substrate temperature were investigated before and after the CdCl_2/annealing. The crystal structure of CdTe film was cubic with a strong (111) preferential orientation. Annealing at 400 °C without CdCl_2 treatment results in a decrease in the (111) peak intensity while the intensities of the (220), (311) and (331) peaks appeared, indicating that the texture is significantly changed. However, after the CdCl_2/annealing, the film exhibited a hexagonal phase as a dominant structure. The scanning electron microscopy patterns showed that the as-deposited and annealed samples had almost the same …

Effects Of Deformation Ratio On The Mechanical Properties And Microstructures Changes In An Al-Mg-Si Alloy, Hichem Farh, Rebai Guemini, Serradj Fares, Karim Djemmal
Turkish Journal of Physics
An investigation has been done to study the effect of deformation ratio and two-step ageing treatment on the microstructure and the mechanical properties in an Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy. Transmission electron microscopy is used in order to follow the distribution and the morphology of the hardening precipitates. The hardness of the alloy increases with the increasing deformation ratio. The maximum of hardness increases and is shifted to low time with an increase of the deformation ratio. The density of precipitates is more increased and the precipitates become more inhomogeneously distributed when the deformation combines with two-step ageing treatments.

Role Of Quadrupole Deformation In Proton Emitting Nuclei In The Medium Mass Region, Chandrasekaran Anu Radha, Velayudham Ramasubramanian, Emmanuel James Jebaseelan Samuel
Turkish Journal of Physics
Nuclear structural studies at and beyond the proton drip line is done with the help of proton radioactivity. It is found that nuclei are not necessarily always spherical. The aim of the present work is to study the role of quadrupole deformation in proton rich nuclei, particularly with respect to odd Z nuclei within the region 50 < Z < 80 near the proton drip line. The deformation is studied using triaxially deformed cranked Nilsson Strutinsky method with tuning. Some of the nuclei in the medium mass region are found to be proton emitters from the ground state with appreciable deformation. Nuclei with 62 < Z < 67 shows considerable deformation that kindled the probability of instability within the nuclei. Significant ground state deformed shapes are observed in the 67 < Z < 73 region.

Computations Of Ultrasonic Parameters Of Lanthanide Metals Ti, Zr And Hf, Pramod Kumar Yadawa, Dharmendra Kumar Pandey, Devraj Singh, Raja Ram Yadav, Giridhar Mishra
Turkish Journal of Physics
The ultrasonic properties in the hexagonal structured lanthanide metals Ti, Zr and Hf have been studied at room temperature. The higher order elastic constants have been calculated for these metals using Lennard-Jones Potential for evaluating orientation-dependent ultrasonic properties. An anomalous behaviour in orientation dependent velocity is obtained, which is due to the combined effect of second order elastic constants and density. The achieved ultrasonic properties are compared with known physical parameters to differentiate them from third group nitrides/laves phase compounds.

Vibration Spectra Of Polar Mixing Optical Phonon States And Fröhlich Electron-Phonon Coupling Behaviors In A Wurtzite Zno Quantum Dot, Li Zhang
Turkish Journal of Physics
Based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model, the interface-optical-propagating (IO-PR) mixing phonon states of a quasi-zero-dimensional (Q0D) wurtzite cylindrical quantum dot (QD) are investigated. It is found that there are two types of IO-PR mixing phonon modes, i.e. \rho-IO/z-PR mixing modes and the z-IO/\rho-PR mixing modes coexisting in Q0D wurtzite QDs. Numerical calculation on a wurtzite ZnO QD shows that the dispersion frequencies of the mixing modes are discrete functions of the azimuthal quantum number and axial wave-number. The calculated results agree well with the recent experimental spectra in ZnO QDs. An abnormal electron-phonon coupling strength …

Turkish Journal of Physics
Product operator formalism is widely used for the analytical description of multi-dimensional and multiple-pulse NMR experiments for the weakly coupled spin systems having spin-1/2 and spin-1 nuclei. The INEPT NMR experiment is a polarization transfer experiment including J-coupling. In this study, the INEPT NMR experiment was analytically investigated by using product operator theory for weakly coupled IS_n(^{14}ND_n) (I=1, S=1; n=1, 2, 3) spin systems. The obtained theoretical results represent the FID values of ^{14}ND_n groups. In order to make Fourier transform of the obtained FID values, a Maple program is used and then simulated spectra of the INEPT experiment are …
