Yayın Vapor-induced film formation from low-T-g particles for different solvent compositions(Elsevier Inc, 2006-05-15) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Saraç, Ayfer; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission method was used to study latex film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) particles induced by two different solvents. Films with the same latex content were prepared from PVAc particles and exposed to vapor of ethanol-water and acetone-water mixtures in various compositions. Transmitted photon intensities, I-tr, from these films increased with increasing vapor exposure time. The increase in I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the polymer-polymer junction. The Prager-Tirrell model was employed to obtain the back-and-forth frequency, v, of the reptating polymer chain during film formation induced by solvent vapor. It was observed that the produced v values increase as the solvent content is increased for both solvents. Abilities of both solvents to form films were interpreted with the solubility parameters of the solvents and the PVAc.Yayın Spectral renormalization group for the Gaussian model and 𝜓4 theory on nonspatial networks(American Physical Society, 2015-08-06) Tuncer, Aslı; Erzan, AyşeWe implement the spectral renormalization group on different deterministic nonspatial networks without translational invariance. We calculate the thermodynamic critical exponents for the Gaussian model on the Cayley tree and the diamond lattice and find that they are functions of the spectral dimension, (d) over tilde. The results are shown to be consistent with those from exact summation and finite-size scaling approaches. At (d) over tilde = 2, the lower critical dimension for the Ising universality class, the Gaussian fixed point is stable with respect to a psi(4) perturbation up to second order. However, on generalized diamond lattices, non-Gaussian fixed points arise for 2 < <(d)over tilde> < 4.Yayın Photon transmission study on conformational ordering of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-06) Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderCoil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution upon cooling were studied using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, I-iota r was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h) and (h-d) transition temperatures (T-ch and T-hd) and activation energies (Delta E-ch and Delta E-hd). An extra dimer-to-dimer (d-d) transition was also observed during cooling at low temperature region. However, upon heating dimers disappear to double helices by making dimer-to-double helix (d-h) transition. Further heating resulted double helix-to-coil (h-c) transition at high temperature region. T-dh and T-ch temperatures and Delta E-dh and Delta E-hc activation energies were also determined. It was observed that T-hc and T-ch temperatures and Delta E-dh and Delta E-hd activation energies do not effected by carrageenan content. However, T-hd, T-dh and T-dd temperatures and Delta E-ch and Delta E-hc activation energies were found to be strongly correlated to the carrageenan content in the system.Yayın Nonreciprocal switching of VO2 thin films on microstructured surfaces(Optical Soc Amer, 2010-05-15) Karakurt, İsmail; Adams, Charles H; Leiderer, Paul; Boneberg, Johannes; Haglund, Richard F.We demonstrate that the combination of near-field focusing and a switchable oxide layer permits construction of a modulator with different optical switching thresholds in two opposing directions. For that purpose VO2 layers are deposited onto spherical micrometer-sized particles. The phase transition in VO2 is induced by a nanosecond-pulsed Nd:YAG laser from two different directions. The measured thresholds differ by a factor of 2.4, consistent with calculated differences in the intensities in the two directions.Yayın Small molecule diffusion into swelling Iota-Carrageenan gels: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-04) Ataman, Evren; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSmall molecule diffusion into Iota-Carrageenan gel was studied by using steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine, dissolved in water was used as fluorescence probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-p, and scattered light intensity, I-sc, were monitored to study diffusion and swelling processes at various temperatures respectively. Fickian and Li-Tanaka models were elaborated to produce diffusion, D, and collective diffusion, D-0, coefficients. Diffusion and swelling activation energies were also obtained and found to be 20.5 kj mol(-1) and 28.2 kj mol(-1). respectively.Yayın Evolutionary route to diploidy and sex(National Academy of Sciences, 2001-11-20) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, AyşeBy using a bit-string model of evolution, we find a successful route to diploidy and sex in simple organisms. Allowing the sexually reproducing diploid individuals to also perform mitosis, as they do in a haploid-diploid cycle, leads to the complete takeover of the population by sexual diploids. This mechanism is so robust that even the accidental conversion and pairing of only two diploids give rise to a sexual population.Yayın Universal behaviour of gel formation from acrylamide-carrageenan mixture around the gel point: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2006-08) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was used to study the sol-gel transition, for the solution free radical crosslinking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with various carrageenan content. N, N'- methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) are used as crosslinker and an initiator, respectively. Pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1, 3,6-trisuffonic acid, trisodium salt, HPTS) was added as a floroprobe for monitoring the polymerization. Pyranine molecules start to bind to acrylamide polymer chains upon the initiation of the polymerization; thus, the spectra of the bonded pyranines shift to the shorter wavelengths. Fluorescence spectra from the bonded pyranines allows one to monitor the sol-gel transition, without disturbing the system mechanically, and to test the universality of the sol-gel transition as a function of some kinetic parameters like polymer concentration. Observations around the critical point show that the gel fraction exponent P obeyed the percolation result for low carrageenan concentrations (< 2.0%) however classical results were produced at higher carrageenan concentration (> 2.0%).Yayın A realistic quantum capacitance model for quantum Hall edge state based Fabry-Pérot interferometers(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-01-25) Kılıçoğlu, Özge; Eksi, Deniz; Sıddıki, AfifIn this work, the classical and the quantum capacitances are calculated for a Fabry-Pérot interferometer operating in the integer quantized Hall regime. We first consider a rotationally symmetric electrostatic confinement potential and obtain the widths and the spatial distribution of the insulating (incompressible) circular strips using a charge density profile stemming from self-consistent calculations. Modelling the electrical circuit of capacitors composed of metallic gates and incompressible/compressible strips, we investigate the conditions to observe Aharonov-Bohm (quantum mechanical phase dependent) and Coulomb blockade (capacitive coupling dependent) effects reflected in conductance oscillations. In a last step, we solve the Schrödinger and the Poisson equations self-consistently in a numerical manner taking into account realistic experimental geometries. We find that, describing the conductance oscillations either by Aharanov-Bohm or Coulomb blockade strongly depends on sample properties also other than size, therefore, determining the origin of these oscillations requires further experimental and theoretical investigation.Yayın Dissolution and subsequent re-crystallization as zeroing mechanism, thermal properties and component resolved dose response of salt (NaCl) for retrospective dosimetry(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-09) Polymeris, George S.; Kitis, George; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Sfamba, Ioanna; Subedi, Bhagawan; Pagonis, VasilisIn the present study we report dosimetric properties of iodized salt aiming at using it as an accidental luminescent dosimeter. It was found that the very good sensitivity of its main dosimetric peak is strongly affected by thermal treatments. This is also the case for OSL emission. The sensitivity loss due to heating implies that caution should be exercised while applying single aliquot protocols for dose evaluation. The sequence of dissolution and subsequent re-crystallization was established to be an extremely effective zeroing mechanism for the TL signal. The linearity in the dose response was also monitored in the case of dissolved and subsequently re-crystallized salt. In the case of naturally occurring salt, zeroing of the TL signal due to dissolution as well as the linearity of dose response up to doses as large as 100 Gy were found to be very promising features for dating applications.Yayın Size-dependent self-organization of colloidal particles on chemically patterned surfaces(SP Zhejiang University Press, 2006-04-14) Karakurt, İsmail; Leiderer, Paul; Boneberg, JohannesA study of the self-organization of colloidal particles during the evaporation of particle solutions on chemically patterned surfaces is presented. On a surface with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, colloidal particles form compact structures on the hydrophilic sites. When a colloidal solution containing a mixture of particles with a variation in size is used, the number density of each type of particle deposited on the hydrophilic islands after evaporation decreases with increasing particle size. This makes it possible to produce a concentration gradient of the particles on islands of different sizes. It is shown that this technique could allow for particle separation.
