Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Physical Properties of Neodymium Tin Oxide Pyrochlore Ceramics(de Gruyter Poland Sp Zoo, 2017) Saleh, Adli A.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Yumusak, G.; Mergen, A.In this work, physical properties of neodymium tin oxide pyrochlore ceramics prepared by solid state reaction technique are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry and temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements. The pyrochlore is observed to have a cubic FCC crystal lattice with lattice parameter of 10.578 angstrom. The planes of the cubic cell are best oriented in the [2 2 2] direction. From the X-ray, the UV-Vis spectrophotometry and the electrical resistivity data analysis, the grain size, strain, dislocation density, optical and thermal energy band gaps, localized energy band tail states and resistivity activation energies are determined and discussed. The pyrochlore is observed to have an optical energy band gap of similar to 3.40 eV. This value corresponds to 365 nm UV light spectra which nominates the neodymium tin oxide pyrochlore ceramics for the use as UV sensors.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7A Generalized Class of Correlated Run Shock Models(de Gruyter Poland Sp Zoo, 2018) Yalcin, Femin; Eryilmaz, Serkan; Bozbulut, Ali RizaIn this paper, a generalized class of run shock models associated with a bivariate sequence {(X-i, Y-i)}(i >= 1) of correlated random variables is defined and studied. For a system that is subject to shocks of random magnitudes X-1, X-2, ... over time, let the random variables Y-1, Y-2, ... denote times between arrivals of successive shocks. The lifetime of the system under this class is defined through a compound random variable T = Sigma(N)(t=1) Y-t, where N is a stopping time for the sequence {Xi}(i >= 1) and represents the number of shocks that causes failure of the system. Another random variable of interest is the maximum shock size up to N, i.e. M = max {X-i, 1 <= i <= N}Distributions of T and M are investigated when N has a phase-type distribution.
