    Sr addition and its effect on the melt cleanliness of A356
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Atakav, Baturalp; Gursoy, Ozen; Erzi, Eray; Tur, Kazim; Dispinar, Derya
    Strontium modification of Al-Si alloys has known to have several beneficial effects such as increased feedability, the formation of fibrous Si and increased mechanical properties. However, in the presence of Sr, during melting and holding durations, the oxide structure of the dross may change which leads to several problems during casting operations. In this work, the amount of Sr was changed and the melt was held for 1 h. Reduced Pressure Test (RPT) was used to asses melt quality change and it was found that cleanliness was increased due to the fading of Sr.

    Properties of the Pc(4312) pentaquark and its bottom partner
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2021) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark P-c(4312)(+) to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rules approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to the Sigma D-++(c)- threshold and has a small width, which supports the possibility of its being a molecular state. We consider an interpolating current in a molecular form and analyze both the positive and negative parity states with spin-. We also consider the bottom counterpart of the state with similar molecular form. Our mass result for the charm pentaquark state supports that the quantum numbers of the observed state are consistent with J(P) = 1/2(-).

    Induced Scattering Limits on Fast Radio Bursts From Stellar Coronae
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2016) Lyubarsky, Yuri; Ostrovska, Sofiya
    The origin of fast radio bursts remains a puzzle. Suggestions have been made that they are produced within the Earth's atmosphere, in stellar coronae, in other galaxies, or at cosmological distances. If they are extraterrestrial, the implied brightness temperature is very high, and therefore the induced scattering places constraints on possible models. In this paper, constraints are obtained on flares from coronae of nearby stars. It is shown that the radio pulses with the observed power could not be generated if the plasma density within and in the nearest vicinity of the source is as high as is necessary to provide the observed dispersion measure. However, one cannot exclude the possibility that the pulses are generated within a bubble with a very low density and pass through the dense plasma only in the outer corona.

    Nucleon Resonances With Spin 3/2 and Isospin 1/2
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    Investigation of the nucleon's excited states has always become an important research topic because of the rich information they provide. Since their first observation, dating back about 70 years, the investigation of their various parameters contributed both to the development of the quark model and a better understanding of the QCD as the theory of strong interaction. Their investigation still has importance. The research conducted on the nucleon excited states is helpful to probe the missing resonances predicted by the quark model but not observed yet. With this motivation, we study the low lying nucleon resonance with I(J(P)) = 1/2(3/2(-)) and its corresponding orbital and radial excitations with I(J(P)) = 1/2(3/2(+)) and I(J(P)) = 1/2(3/2(-)), respectively. Using the QCD sum rule method, we calculate the masses and pole residues of these states. The obtained mass results are consistent with the mass ranges presented in PDG for the resonances N(1520)(3/2(-)), N(1700)(3/2(-)), and N(1720)(3/2(+)). The results of masses and residues of these states may be used as input parameters to calculate various quantities related to their electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions with other particles with the aim of getting more information on their natures and structures.

    On the Fracture Prediction of 304l Stainless Steel Sheets Utilizing Different Hardening Models
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2016) Dizaji, S. A.; Darendeliler, H.; Kaftanoglu, B.
    Fracture prediction is one of the challenging problems in sheet metals. Forming limit curves at fracture (FLCF), as a tool to determine fracture in sheet metal processes, are obtained through the use of numerical analyses. As one of the approaches, the ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) represent the fracture initiation of the sheets formed by different loading histories. In this study, the effects of three different hardening models on different DFCs to predict the fracture for stainless steel 304L have been investigated. The results show that most of DFCs work better in the region. epsilon(2)< 0 especially with the kinematic hardening model. However, for the region. epsilon(2)> 0 where the stretching conditions are dominant, none of them could precisely estimate the fracture initiation.

    Revealing Photoluminescence and Nonlinear Optical Absorption Characteristics of Pbmo0.75w0.25< Single Crystal for Optical Limiting Applications
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Dogan, Anil; Karatay, Ahmet; Isik, Mehmet; Yildiz, Elif Akhuseyin; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
    Nonlinear absorption properties of PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal fabricated by the Czochralski method were studied. The band gap energy of the crystal was determined as 3.12 eV. Urbach energy which represents the defect states inside the band gap was found to be 0.106 eV. PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal has a broad photoluminescence emission band between 376 and 700 nm, with the highest emission intensity occurring at 486 nm and the lowest intensity peak at 547 nm, depending on the defect states. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal that the lifetime of localized defect states is found to be higher than the 4 ns pulse duration. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan results demonstrate that the PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal exhibits nonlinear absorption (NA) that includes two-photon absorption (TPA) as the dominant mechanism at the 532 nm excitations corresponding to 2.32 eV energy. NA coefficient (beta(eff)) increased from 7.24 x 10(-10) m W-1 to 8.81 x 10(-10) m W-1 with increasing pump intensity. At higher intensities beta(eff) tends to decrease with intensity increase. This decrease is an indication that saturable absorption (SA) occurred along with the TPA, called saturation of TPA. The lifetime of the defect states was measured by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Saturable absorption behavior was observed due to the long lifetime of the localized defect states. Closed aperture (CA) Z-scan trace shows the sign of a nonlinear refractive index. The optical limiting threshold of PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal at the lowest intensity was determined as 3.45 mJ/cm(2). Results show that the PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal can be a suitable semiconductor material for optical limiting applications in the visible region.

    Enhanced Second Harmonic Generation From Coupled Asymmetric Plasmonic Metal Nanostructures
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2015) Yildiz, Bilge Can; Tasgin, Mehmet Emre; Abak, Musa Kurtulus; Coskun, Sahin; Unalan, Husnu Emrah; Bek, Alpan
    We experimentally demonstrate that two coupled metal nanostructures (MNSs), a silver nanowire and bipyramid, can produce similar to 30 times enhanced second harmonic generation compared to the particles alone. We develop a simple theoretical model, presenting the path interference effects in the nonlinear response of coupled MNSs. We show that the reason for such an enhancement can be the occurrence of a Fano resonance due to the coupling of the converter MNS to the long-lived mode of the attached MNS.

    Synthesis and Characterization of Novel High Temperature Structural Adhesives Based on Nadic End Capped Mda-Btda Copolyimide
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2018) Acar, Oktay; Varis, Serhat; Isik, Tugba; Tirkes, Seha; Demir, Mustafa M.
    A series of novel copolyimide structural adhesives were synthesized using 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl-methane (MDA), 3,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) and 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhy-dride (BTDA) as co-monomers, and nadic anhydride as an end cap reagent. The adhesives with different MDA and ODA contents were examined in terms of their structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and adhesive performance. They have glass transition temperatures (T-g) about 400 degrees C, with thermal stability up to 500 degrees C. The effect of diamine monomer compositions on adhesion performance and processability of the copolyimides were studied. The copolyimides exhibited adhesion strength up to 16.3 MPa at room temperature. Nadic end capped MDA-BTDA-ODA copolyimide resins gained adjustable and controllable processability with the addition of ether bridged aromatic segments. The copolyimide adhesive with equimolar composition of MDA: ODA is distinguished form the both commercial PMR-15 and LARC RP-46 polyimides in terms of its better processability and mechanical performance.

    Tunable Nonlinear Absorption and Optical Limiting Behavior of Nabi(moxw1-x< Single Crystals With Ratio of Molybdenum/Tungsten
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Pepe, Yasemin; Yildiz, Elif Akhuseyin; Isik, Mehmet; Karatay, Ahmet; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
    The compositional effect of Mo/W ratio on linear, nonlinear absorption and optical limiting behavior of the NaBi(MoxW1-xO4)(2) single crystals grown by Czochralski technique was investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns of the studied crystals presented well-defined peaks associated with the tetragonal crystalline structure. The nonlinear absorption performance and optical limiting threshold were determined using an open-aperture Z-scan technique. A theoretical model including one photon absorption (OPA), two photon absorption (TPA) and free carrier absorption was used to determine the nonlinear absorption parameters. All of the results showed that defect states, which strongly affect nonlinear absorption (NA) and optical limiting behaviors, can be tuned with the Mo/W ratio, enabling NaBi(MoxW1-xO4)(2) single crystals to be used in desired optoelectronic applications. Linear optical absorption analysis revealed that bandgap energy and defect states can be tuned by changing the Mo/W ratio in the crystal structure. The obtained results showed that all the studied crystals had NA behavior and the nonlinear absorption coefficient decreased with increasing Mo/W ratio. Sequential TPA is the main NA mechanism for these crystals due to the fact that the incident light energy is lower than the bandgap energies and the existence of the real intermediate state around 2.32 eV.
