The geometry of different possible structures of (110) fcc twist boundaries is explored. Computer simulation of all possible low energy structures have been carried out for \Sigma=3 and \Sigma=9 twist boundaries using many-body potentials representing copper, silver and gold. Low symmetry structures are found to have lower energies than the high symmetry CSL structures.
Properties Of Mos Capacitors Produced On Sige Formed By Ge-Implanted Si, M. Şahi̇n, Serhat Özder, Raşi̇t Turan
Properties Of Mos Capacitors Produced On Sige Formed By Ge-Implanted Si, M. Şahi̇n, Serhat Özder, Raşi̇t Turan
Turkish Journal of Physics
Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors fabricated on Ge-implanted Si have been investigated by using C-V and G-V measurements. The control sample on pure Si substrate yielded normal C-V and G-V characteristics. The Ge-implanted MOS samples exhibited anomalous C-V and G-V behavior. The C-V curves of the samples were strongly frequency dependent both in the accumulation and inversion regions. They shift almost in parallel to higher values with decreasing frequency, reaching the oxide capacitance value in the quasi-static (QS) measurement. A band structure and equivalent circuit model were introduced to explain this and other features of the experimental observations. It is shown that …

A Novel Technique For The Preparation Of Textured Yba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\Delta} Superconductor, Naheed Kouser, Saadat Anwar Siddiqi, Asghari Maqsood
Turkish Journal of Physics
Textured samples having composition of YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta} were prepared by using a novel technique of heating the samples in a thermal gradient which varies linearly between 930-950 ^oC over a distance of 5 cm. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, temperature dependent resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. XRD analysis shows that sample heated between 930-935 ^oC has tetragonal symmetry and all other three samples show orthorhombic symmetry. Samples heated in temperature gradient of 935-945 ^oC aligned along the c-axis. The orthorhombic samples exhibited zero resistance above 86K with short transition width and samples heated …

Zeros Of Scattering Amplitude For A Spin-Dependent Gaussian Potential, Nilufar Farhat Hossain, Hasna Banu, A. K. Halder
Turkish Journal of Physics
In the proposed model, polarization in the scattering amplitude for a Gaussian potential including spin is considered. The problem of scattering amplitude is formulated in two different ways: the first and second Born approximations along with their high energy limits and the eikonal approximation including Wallace corrections. A comparison of the numerical zeros of the scattering amplitude computed in the above two approximations is studied in the complex momentum transfer plane. An analysis of the zero trajectories shows that the contribution of the spin part in the potential is quite significant at high energies whereas at low energies the spin-part …

Features Of The Compound Multiplicity Of The Interactions Of ^{24}Mg And ^{28}Si Ions With Emulsion Nuclei At 4.5a Gev/C, N. N. Abd-Allah, M. Mohery
Turkish Journal of Physics
The present paper deals with the interactions of ^{24}Mg and ^{28}Si nuclei at 4.5A GeV/c with emulsion. Some characteristics of the compound multiplicity given by the numerical sum of grey and shower particles have been investigated. The obtained results indicate that the compound multiplicity distribution is consistent with KNO-Scaling and its width increases with the size of the projectile nucleus.The dependence of the average compound multiplicity on the numbers of black and the grey particles and the sum of them is obvious and the values of the slope has been found to be independent of the projectile nucleus.

Multiparticle Equations For Scalar Particles, Valery Nikolaevich Kapshai, Alexander Ivanovich Fursin
Turkish Journal of Physics
Multiparticle equations for scalar particles are derived in the framework of the Lagrangian formalism of field theory as a consequence of the Dyson-Schwinger equations for the generating functional of Green's functions. The general form of the n-particle equation is determined. The formula for the kernel of the equation is obtained. It makes possible to use the functional methods for the investigation of the equation. It is proven that the equation is correct in the lower orders for two-particle Green's functions.
Mössbauer-Effect Study Of Fine Atomic Structure Of Fe-Ni-C Alloys, K. G. Binnatov, A. O. Mekhrabov
Mössbauer-Effect Study Of Fine Atomic Structure Of Fe-Ni-C Alloys, K. G. Binnatov, A. O. Mekhrabov
Turkish Journal of Physics
Fine atomic structure of Fe-Ni-C alloys containing of 30-36 wt. % Ni and 0.1-1.0 wt. % C have been analysed by means of a nuclear \gamma -resonance method. The alloys under investigation were in austenite phase. The study shows that the effective hyperfine magnetic field H_{eff} on the ^{57}Fe nuclei is affected by the presence of C atoms in Fe-Ni alloys and the mean value of H_{eff} fields increase with increasing of C element content in these alloys. It has been detected that increase in carbon content in Fe-Ni alloys leads to a broadening of Mössbauer absorption lines. On the …

Cation Distribution And Magnetisation Study Of Nd^{+3} Substituted Zn-Mg Ferrites, B. P. Ladgaonkar, P. N. Vasambekar, A. S. Vaingankar
Turkish Journal of Physics
Polycrystalline ferrites Zn_{x}Mg_{1-x}Fe_{2-y}Nd_{y}O_{4} (x = 0.00, 0.20, 0.40, 0.80 and 1.00; y = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) were prepared by standard ceramic method. Thecompositions,oncharacterisation by X-ray diffraction, shows formation of single phase cubic spinels. Magnetic measurement of these composition shows increase in magnetic moment n_{\beta} with Zn^{2+} concentration up to x = 0.4 and decreases thereafter. This is attributed to the existence of locallised canted spin. The compositions for x = 0.8 and 1.0 shows paramagnetic behaviour at and above room temperature. The trivalent substitution of Nd^{3+} ion causes reduction in the magnetic moment. The cation distribution of the sytem …
Effect Of Carrier Concentration Dependant Mobility On The Performance Of High Electron Mobility Transistors, Mustafa Erol
Effect Of Carrier Concentration Dependant Mobility On The Performance Of High Electron Mobility Transistors, Mustafa Erol
Turkish Journal of Physics
The influence of the sheet carrier concentration dependence on mobility on the performance of High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) structures is theoretically modeled. The model basically takes into account both the drift and diffusion part of the overall drain current. The normalised drain current and normalised transconductance are found to be greatly affected by the carrier concentration dependant mobility.

The dangers to the human health upon exposure to radon and its daughter products is the main motivation behind the vast number of studies performed to find the concentration of radon in our living environment, including our houses. The presence of radon and its daughter products in houses are due to various sources including building materials and the soil under the houses. Many factors affect radon concentration in our houses, the elevation above ground level,ventilation, building materials and room usage being among these factors. In our paper, we discuss the effect of elevation above ground level, room usage and ventilation …
Viscous Dissipation Of Magnetosonic Waves In Solar Corona, Belinda Kalomeni, D. Özlem Hürkal, E. Rennan Pekünlü, Kadri̇ Yakut
Viscous Dissipation Of Magnetosonic Waves In Solar Corona, Belinda Kalomeni, D. Özlem Hürkal, E. Rennan Pekünlü, Kadri̇ Yakut
Turkish Journal of Physics
Wave propagation and dissipation of magnetosonic waves are considered in an inhomogenous viscous coronal plasma permeated by a spatially varying magnetic field. In the linear magnetohydrodynamic approximation the dispersion relation yields two wave modes, fast and slow respectively. Depending on the physical parameters of the medium the damping length scales of the modes show varying behaviours. Damping length scales of the modes show sudden decrease at relevant heights. These drops may be due to phase mixing and resonance absorption. Wave flux density of the magnetosonic waves turns out to be of the order of 10^6 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}. This is …

Urbach-Martienssen's Tail In Layered Ternary Semiconductor Tlgas_{2}, Bahatti̇n Abay, Hüsnü Sali̇h Güder, Hasan Efeoğlu, Yahya Kemal Yoğurtçu
Turkish Journal of Physics
Dependence of the absorption coefficient on the photon energy and temperature near the fundamental absorption edge was measured for layered single crystal TlGaS_{2}. The exponentially increasing absorption tail was explained as an Urbach-Martienssen's (U-M's) tail for TlGaS_{2} samples in the 10-340 K temperature range. The characteristic Urbach's parameters such as steepness parameter [\sigma (T)] and Urbach's energy [(E_{u} = k_{B} T / \sigma )] were determined. Analyzing the temperature dependence of these parameters based on the general models, which takes into account the possible role of several different types of disorder, we conclude that the absorption process in the fundamental …

Computer Graphics Optique: Optical Superposition Of Projected Computer Graphics, Aditi Majumder
Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports
We present some ideas and demonstrations for a hybrid projector-based rendering and display technique we call Computer Graphics Optique. Instead of partially overlapping projected images to achieve a wide-area display, we completely overlap projected images on top of each other to achieve the addition of light and color in an "optical composition buffer''. The idea is to use the optical composition to replace some analytical computation, to increase rendering speed, gain flexibility, intensity range, and intensity resolution. Where projector-based displays are appropriate, potential uses include the optical realization of certain effects normally requiring a digital accumulation buffer, the optical composition …

Enhancing Training And Presence In Virtual Environments Using Passive Haptics, Brent E. Insko
Enhancing Training And Presence In Virtual Environments Using Passive Haptics, Brent E. Insko
Link Foundation Modeling, Simulation and Training Fellowship Reports
One of the worst virtual environment experiences is to virtually contact something and feel nothing. Visual-haptic sensory conflicts are normally dominated by visual perception. Therefore, augmenting a high-fidelity visual virtual environment with low-fidelity haptic objects, called passive haptics, should markedly improve both sense of presence and task training effectiveness. Testing these hypotheses, I found adding a 1.5 inch physical ledge to a visual-cliff virtual environment increased participants' sense of presence as measured by subjective questionnaires, observed participant behaviors, and physiological responses. I next examined memory model creation and training effectiveness for a navigation task in a virtual environment with and …

Incorporating Window-Based Passage-Level Evidence In Document Retrieval, Wensi Xi, Richard Xu-Rong, Christopher Soo Guan Khoo, Ee Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This study investigated whether document retrieval can be improved if documents are divided into smaller sub-documents or passages and the retrieval score for these passages are incorporated in the final retrieval score for the whole document. The documents were segmented by sliding a window of a certain size across the document and extracting the words displayed each time the window stopped. A retrieval score was calculated for each of the passages extracted and the highest score obtained by a passage of that size was taken as the document’s passage-level score for that window size. A range of window sizes was …
Glass Transition Behavior Of Pmma Thin Films, Moses T. Kabomo, Frank D. Blum
Glass Transition Behavior Of Pmma Thin Films, Moses T. Kabomo, Frank D. Blum
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
In the last decade there has been an increased interest in the study of the properties of supported thin polymer films. This has been prompted by the incorporation of thin films into device applications and many other technologies. Although not without controversy, a large body of experimental work indicates departures from bulk behavior by thin films. Strong evidence from both theoretical and experimental work shows that the interaction of polymer with a substrate alters the polymer conformation and mobility. A variety of techniques has been employed to probe the mobility of thin supported polymer films. Some of these techniques indirectly …

Graduated Segmental Mobility In Polymer Layers On Silica, Frank D. Blum, Crystal E. Porter, Wuu-Yung Lin
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
The behavior of thin polymer layers on oxide substrates has gotten a great deal of attention as the size of materials, and hence polymer films, has gotten smaller. Indeed, the properties of adsorbed polymers are such that they can be different from those of bulk polymers, especially when the films are very thin. A wide variety of studies have been made on adsorbed polymers and sometimes the results seem contradictory. One of the properties often measured in thin films is the apparent glasstransition temperature, Tg. In principle, many techniques are sensitive to phenomenological changes occurring around Tg and, therefore, can …

Reorganizing Web Sites Based On User Access Patterns, Yongjian Fu, Mario Creado, Chunhua Ju
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, an approach for reorganizing Web sites based on user access patterns is proposed. The approach consists of three steps: preprocessing, page classification, and site reorganization. In preprocessing, pages on a Web site are processed to create an internal representation of the site, and page access information of its users is extracted from its server log. In page classification, the Web pages on the site are classified into two categories, index pages and content pages, based on the page access information. After the pages are classified, in site reorganization, the Web site is examined to find better ways …
Coastal Ocean Morphodynamics And The Resulting Erosion And Deposition: An Analytical Approach, Shejun Fan
Coastal Ocean Morphodynamics And The Resulting Erosion And Deposition: An Analytical Approach, Shejun Fan
OES Theses and Dissertations
Coastal ocean morphodynamics is the study of the morphological change of the coastal ocean system. Environmental conditions, such as climatic and geological controls, are exogenous inputs of the system, which are responsible for geographic variation among coastal oceans. In the coastal ocean system, coastal morphological changes are the results of a series of morphodynamical processes. In this treatise, quantitative, dynamical sedimentary models are developed to provide an analytical understanding of morphodynamical processes in coastal ocean environments. These dynamical sedimentary models numerically simulate the sedimentary processes over a range of time scales from an event time scale, based on the fundamental …
