A phenomenological study on ferroelectric pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (C5NH6) BF4
(Elsevier, 2019) Kiraci, A.; Kiracı, Ali; 42475
The temperature dependence of the specific heat C-V of (C5NH6)BF4 was analyzed according to a power law formula with a critical exponent alpha deduced from the compressible Ising model in the vicinity of the phase transition temperatures of T-C1 = 238 K and T-C2 = 204 K. The extracted values of the critical exponent alpha within the temperature intervals of vertical bar T - T-C1 vertical bar < 6 K and also T - T-C2 < 6 K were consistent with that predicted from the 3d-Ising model (alpha = 0.10) while obtained values of alpha within the temperature interval of T-C2 - T < 6 K were consistent with that predicted from 2-d potts model (alpha = 0.30). In addition, the thermodynamic quantities: the internal energy (U), the entropy (S) and the Helmholtz free energy (F) of this compound were calculated on the basis of the extracted values of the critical exponent a below and above the phase transition temperatures of T-C1 and T-C2.
A Thermodynamic Study On Pbzr0.52Ti0.48O3 Ceramic Close to the Tetragonal-Cubic Transition
(Springer, 2020) Kiraci, Ali; Kiracı, Ali; 42475
The isobaric Gruneisen parameter and the wavenumber (frequency) of various Raman modes in PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT x = 0.48) ceramic were calculated by means of the unit cell volume of this crystal. In addition, the damping constant (linewidth) of the Raman modes studied was computed from the pseudospin-phonon coupled and from the energy fluctuation models close to the tetragonal-cubic transition temperature of T-C = 650 K. This calculation of the damping constant performed in terms of the order parameter (spontaneous polarization), which was associated with the wavenumbers of the Raman modes studied. Furthermore, the inverse relaxation time of the Raman modes in this ceramic calculated and the values of the activation energy were deduced in terms of the Arrhenius plot close to the tetragonal-cubic transition in PZT (x = 0.48) ceramic. Finally, the temperature dependence of some thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal compressibility and the specific heat of this ceramic, was predicted.
Calculation of the raman frequency, damping constant (Linewidth) and the relaxation time near the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2017) Kiraci, A.; Kiracı, Ali; Yurtseven, H.; 42475
Frequencies, damping constants and the relaxation times of some Raman modes including the two soft modes are calculated as a function of pressure near the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. Calculation of the Raman frequencies is performed using the observed volume data from the literature by means of the mode Gruneisen parameter at various pressures. Pressure dependence of the damping constant and the relaxation time is predicted using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model by considering that the Raman frequency can be taken as the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) for the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. Expressions from both models for the damping constants are fitted to the observed Raman linewidths of the two soft modes and for the other Raman modes the damping constant and the relaxation time are predicted close to the transition. We find that damping constants diverge and the inverse relaxation time decreases for the soft modes with increasing pressure near the critical pressure (P-c similar to 11 GPa). The other Raman modes exhibit unusual critical behavior. Our results indicate that the observed behavior of the Raman frequencies can be predicted from the volume data through the mode Gruneisen parameter for the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. The damping constant and the relaxation time for the Raman modes can also be predicted adequately using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model to explain the mechanism of the phase transition between the tetragonal and cubic phases in PbTiO3.

Damping constant and the relaxation time calculated for the lowest-frequency soft mode in the ferroelectric phase of Cd2Nb2O7
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer verlag, 2016) Kiraci, A.; Kiracı, Ali; Yurtseven, H.; 42475
The temperature dependence of the phonon frequency omega(ph) and of the damping constant Gamma(sp) due to pseudospin-phonon coupling of the lowest-frequency soft mode is calculated in the ferroelectric phase near the transition temperature (T-C =196 K) in Cd2Nb2O7. Raman frequency of the soft mode is used as an order parameter which is calculated from the molecular field theory. On that basis, the damping constant is calculated by fitting the expressions from the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model to the observed linewidth from the literature below T-C in Cd2Nb2O7. From our analysis, we find that the molecular field theory is adequate for the soft mode behaviour and that both models are also satisfactory for the divergence behaviour of the damping constant as T-C is approached from the ferroelectric phase in Cd2Nb2O7. Values of the activation energy U are extracted from the temperature dependence of the damping constant (HWHM) of the soft mode in the ferroelectric phase of this crystal. Also, the inverse relaxation time is predicted using the Raman frequency and damping constant close to the T-C in the ferroelectric phase of Cd2Nb2O7, which increases considerably as T-C is approached from the ferroelectric phase, as observed experimentally.

Impaired redox homeostasis in the heart left ventricles of aged rats experiencing fast-developing severe hypobaric hypoxia
(Springer, 2019) Agascioglu, Eda; Colak, Ridvan; Demirel, Haydar; Cakatay, Ufuk
Despite its rare occurrence, humans and animals have been prone to getting fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia. Understanding the redox homeostasis related response of an aging heart to this type of hypoxia are crucially important, since the metabolism of myocardial tissue depends on the redox status of proteins. Rodents can tolerate hypoxic stress better than human subjects. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia on redox status biomarkers; such as, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs), protein carbonyl groups (PCO), protein thiol groups (P-SH), and total thiol groups (T-SH) on the myocardial left ventricles of young and aged Wistar rats. The rats were gradually ascended and exposed to an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia. While AOPP levels showed no difference, the TSH and PSH concentrations decreased, and the PCO and LHP increased in both of the hypoxic groups than the controls. The TSH and PSH were lower, and AOPP, PCO and LHP were found to be higher in the elderly hypoxic groups than in the young ones. The significant outcome of the study represents that an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia could be considered as a severe hypoxic stress, but not life-treating for the rats and would affect both the young and aged left ventricles similarly in respect to impaired redox status. However, if the percentage increases are taken into consideration, it seems that the higher rate of protein oxidation occurs in young hearts; meanwhile aged hearts are more prone to T-SH oxidation.
Optical and photoelectrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Guler, I.; Güler, İpek; Gasanly, N.; 101531
Optical and electrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission, reflection and photoconductivity measurements. Transmission and reflection experiments have been carried out from 540 to 1000 nm at room temperature. Derivative analysis was applied to both transmission and reflection spectra and indirect band gap energy was found as 2.06 eV. Photoconductivity measurements have been performed in the temperature range from 245 to 300 K and in the voltage range from 10 to 80 V. From the temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the observed single peak shifted to higher wavelengths with increase of temperature. The increase of photoconductivity with temperature is due to the increase in the mobility of photocarriers that can be explained by Bube model. From X112 method, room temperature indirect band gap of the crystal was also found as 2.06 eV. From voltage-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the peak maximum increased linearly with increase of voltage because of increase of the mobility of charge carriers. Dark current-voltage characteristic of TlInSSe crystal showed the ohmic behavior that means space charge limited current did not exist in the crystal. From the photocurrent with different illumination intensity analysis, the supralinear photoconductivity associated with the two center model was found. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
Optical and structural characterization of silicon nitride thin films deposited by PECVD
(Elsevier, 2019) Guler, I; Güler, İpek; 101531
Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique was used to deposit silicon nitride (SiNx) thin films. The silane (SiH4) and ammonia (NH3) were used as reactant gases. Both the flow rates of the NH3 and SiH4 gases were changed but total flow rate kept constant to obtain the different ratio nitrogen (N) in the SiNx films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to get information about absorption ratios of the films and the bond types in the films. The refractive index of the films was obtained from ellipsometry measurements. From FTIR measurements and ellipsometry measurements, refractive index for amorphous silicon (Si) and refractive index for stoichiometric SiNx were found as 3.27 and 1.91, respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to see the luminescent of the amorphous Si nanoparticles which were occurred spontaneously during deposition process. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to analyze the Si nanoparticle size.
Study of vibrational modes in (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) mixed crystals by Raman and infrared reflection measurements
(Elsevier, 2019) Isik, M.; Güler, İpek; Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.; 101531
Raman and infrared (IR) reflection characteristics were investigated in the frequency region of 100-450 cm(-1) for (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) mixed crystals for compositions of x increasing from 0.0 to 1.0 by intervals of 0.25 obtained by Bridgman crystal growth technique. In the Raman spectra of these crystals four dominant peak features were observed while two bands were detected in the IR spectra of interest samples. Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations applied to IR spectra presented the frequencies of transverse optical modes. The compositional dependencies of revealed Raman- and IR-active mode frequencies on (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) crystals were established. One-mode behavior was displayed from indicated dependencies.
Temperature and Excitation Intensity Tuned Photoluminescence In Ga0.75In0.25Se Crystals
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.; 101531
Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals have been studied in the wavelength range of 580-670 nm and temperature range of 7-59 K. Two PL emission bands centered at 613 nm (2.02 eV, A-band) and 623 nm (1.99 eV, B-band) were revealed at T = 7K. The excitation laser intensity dependence of the emission bands have been studied in the 0.06-1.40 W cm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor levels located at E-A = 0.11 and E-B = 0.15 eV below the bottom of conduction band to single shallow acceptor level located at 0.01 eV above the valence band are suggested to be responsible for the observed A- and B-bands. A simple model was proposed to interpret the recombination processes in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Temperature dependence of the damping constant and the relaxation time close to the tetragonal-cubic phase transition in SrZrO3
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Yurtseven, H.; Kiracı, Ali; Kiraci, A.; 42475
The damping constant Gamma(sp) due to the pseudospin-phonon coupling is calculated as a function of temperature using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model close to the tetragonal-cubic transition (T-C = 1443 K) in SrZrO3. Using the observed Raman frequencies and the linewidth (FWHM) of the soft modes (E-g and A(1g)) from the literature, predictions of both models studied, are examined for the tetragonal-cubic transition in this crystalline system. Values of the activation energy U are extracted and also the inverse relaxation time is predicted as a function of temperature close to the phase transition studied in SrZrO3. Divergence behaviour of the damping constant (FWHM) of the soft modes is predicted from both models as also observed experimentally when T-C is approached from the tetragonal to the cubic phase in SrZrO3. The relaxation time also diverges close to the T-C in this crystal. It is indicated that the tetragonal cubic transition is of a second order as predicted from both models studied here, as also observed experimentally in SrZrO3. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Temperature dependence of the polarization, dielectric constant, damping constant and the relaxation time close to the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in LiNbO3
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer verlag, 2017) Kiraci, A.; Kiracı, Ali; Yurtseven, H.; 42475
We calculate the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) and the inverse dielectric susceptibility at various temperatures in the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3 for its ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition (T-C =1260 K) using the Landau phenomenological model. For this calculation, the Raman frequencies of the soft optic mode (TO1) are used as the order parameter and the fitting procedure is employed for both the order parameter and the inverse dielectric susceptibility by means of the observed data from the literature. The temperature dependences of the damping constant and the inverse relaxation time are also computed using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model for the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3. The activation energy is deduced from the damping constant for both models studied and compared with the k(B)T(C) value of LiNbO3. We find that the order parameter (Raman frequency of the TO1 mode) and the inverse dielectric susceptibility decrease with increasing temperature, as expected from the mean field model. We also find that the damping constant and the inverse relaxation time of this soft mode increases and decreases, respectively, with increasing temperature on the basis of the two models studied in the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3. This indicates that our method of calculation is satisfactory to describe the observed behaviour of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in LiNbO3. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH.
