Sensors are used to gather a wealth of information from the process that can improve operational efficiency and product quality which involving a mass of data that need to be analysis especially with the merging of the Internet of Things (IoT). They also included with new features such as communication capability and on-board diagnostics. Leading edge research in sensors has been propelled by the advancements made in fabrication, signal processing and material technology in the last decade. With these the scientific world is now on the verge of delivering sensors with radically new capabilities for the human societies. This talk deals with the future trend in sensor technology and several research work in Universiti Putra Malaysia related with them. 17 (IOP_02) Liquid Crystals and Conducting Polymers with Nanoparticles for Several Organic Electronics Applications Sait Eren San Department of Physics, Gebze Technical University, 41400, Gebze, Turkey Liquid Crystals (LC) are highly nonlinear optical materials and they are sensitive against optical, electrical and magnetic fields. This sensitivity could be exploited for various device designs. In the scope of this presentation, I will firstly discuss the diffraction grating experiments, which are indeed base experiments for Holographic data storage and principally information could be stored at the order of Terabyte per cubic centimeter via this approach. Actually it was experimentally observed and shown that dye and Carbon nanoparticles doped LCs are promising candidates as storage mediums via Holography. Second case study is devoted to another critical experimental demonstration that proves the reorientation and conservation of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) in the structure of nematic LC. Experimental concepts propose this CNT reorientation, which is of critical importance for potential CNT applications, via electrical, optical and magnetic fields. Third case study is a Hybrid Solar Cell, which is designed and proposed as a feasible and reasonable alternative, according to acquired efficiency with the employment of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and ZnO thin films at the same time. Both of these ZnO structures were grown electrochemically and poly(3-hexylthiophene) : phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester; (P3HT: PCBM) was used as an active polymer blend, which was found to be compatible to prepared Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) substrate base. This ITO base was introduced with mentioned ZnO structure in such a way that, the most efficient configuration was optimized to be ITO/ZnO film/ ZnO nanorod/ P3HT: PCBM/Ag. All ZnO works were carried out electrochemically, that is indeed for the first time and at relatively lower temperatures.Forth one is an Organic Field Effect Transistor (OFET) device, which was prepared by a side chain thiophene based-dielectric gel copolymer and it shows a higher field-effect mobility and lower threshold voltage. The device is a sandwich type and promising results could be attributed to the compatibility that comes from the similarity between the chemical structures of semiconductor and dielectric layers due to π-π interactions caused by intermolecular overlapping of p orbitals in aromatic thiophene groups existing in both layers. Actually this kind of devices could also be a good inspiration for artificial skin concepts, if pressure sensitivity reveals at the same time. 18 One of the proposed device without pressure deal is the one, prepared with poly (MMA-coMTM) has a field-effect mobility of 0.57 cm2/Vs, a threshold voltage of -0.20 V, on/off current ratio of 103 while the device prepared with just PMMA has a field-effect mobility of 0.38 cm2/Vs, a threshold voltage of -0.26 V and on/off current ratio of 102. There are some positive qualitative results for pressure sensitivity of OFET concepts as well.

Bek1, 2, 3, M. E. Taşgın4, H. E. Ünalan2, 3, 5 1 Middle East Technical University, Department of Physics, 06800, Ankara, Turkey Middle East Technical University, the Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications, 06800, Ankara, Turkey 3 Middle East Technical University, Micro and Nanotechnology Program, 06800, Ankara, Turkey 4 Hacettepe University, Institute for Nuclear Sciences, 06800, Ankara, Turkey 5 Middle East Technical University, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, 06800, Ankara, Turkey 2 In this study we propose a method for deterministic activation of few molecules. We demonstrate effective background-free continuous wave nonlinear optical excitation of enhanced yellow fluorescent protein molecules that are sandwiched between asymmetrically constructed plasmonic gold nanoparticle clusters [1]. We observe that infrared photons are converted to visible photons through efficient plasmonic second harmonic generation. Our theoretical model and simulations demonstrate that nonlinear conversion of continuous wave light becomes possible by Fano resonance in the nonlinear response. We show that nonlinearity enhancement of plasmonic nanostructures via coupled quantum mechanical oscillators such as molecules can be several orders larger as compared to their classical counterparts [2-3]. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that observation of second harmonic generation with continuous wave laser becomes possible owing to the cooperative action of conversion enhancement through Fano resonance, hybridization in the plasmon absorption spectrum and the size asymmetry of nanoparticle dimers. We further investigate the Fano resonances in intrinsic nonlinear optical response of single or coupled metal nanoparticles. We show that Fano resonance conditions can be tuned to enhance nonlinear optical conversion. When a bare metal nanoparticle is coupled with a plasmonic nonlinear converter, second harmonic generation can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude. This phenomenon emerges due to path interference effects. It is shown that second harmonic generation enhancement in hybrid structures can be obtained even in the absence of coupled quantum emitters [4]. This is an important finding with the potential of facilitating use of purely metallic nanoparticles with appropriate plasmonic properties for efficient nonlinear conversion. 20 References [1] Salakhutdinov I., Kendziora D., Abak M.

On the other hand, an antioxidant molecule has been defined as any substance when found in low concentrations compared to that of an oxidizable substrate significantly delays or inhibits the oxidation. Antioxidant compounds can scavenge free radicals and increase shelf life by retarding the process of lipid peroxidation, which is one of the major reasons for deterioration of food, medicine and pharmaceutical products during processing and storage. The major antioxidant compounds are especially phenolics and flavonoids, which are responsible for their health benefits. Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is a pH regulatory enzyme in all life kingdoms, being found in organisms all over the phylogenetic tree. It catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and the corresponding dehydration of HCO3- in acidic medium with regeneration of CO2. CA isoforms are found in a variety of tissues. They participate in several crucial biological processes such as acid-base balance, respiration, CO2 and ion transportation, bone resorption, ureagenesis, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and electrolyte secretion. On the other hand, the phenyl moiety of phenol was found to lay in the hydrophobic part of the CA active site, where CO2, the physiologic substrate of the CAs, binds in the precatalytic complex, explaining thus the behavior of phenol as a unique CO2 competitive inhibitor. This presentation consists of two main sections. The first section is devoted to main phenolic antioxidant compounds in the foodstuffs and beverages. The second general section is about some definitions of CA inhibitory effects of the main phenolic compounds used for antioxidant activity. The phenolic compounds and acids had marked especially CA I, and II inhibition effects and might be used as leads for generating CA isoenzyme inhibitors. This class of compounds may lead to isoform-selective inhibitors targeting just one or few of the medicinally relevant CAs. In addition, there are given some chemical and kinetic basis and technical details related to phenolic antioxidant compounds and CA isoenzymes. 22 (IOP_05) Spin Waves in Ultra-Thin Magnetic Multilayers B. Aktaş, R. Topkaya Gebze Technical University, Department of Physics, 41400, Gebze/Kocaeli, Turkey Spin wave resonance (SWR) has been widely used by researchers to study magnetic materials since the basic theory was introduced first by Kittel, Herring, Amend and Rado [1-3]. The SWR modes can be excited even by a uniform rf field if certain boundary conditions are met. In this study, the fundamental aspects of the collective spin behaviour in magnetic thin films were investigated. A basic dynamic equation of motion was used together with suitable boundary conditions at the surface or interfaces of magnetic thin films or multilayers. Gilberttype damping parameter was assumed in order to simulate the SWR spectra. It has been realized that the theory developed for magnetic multilayered thin films is suitable to apply to also thick (bulk) plate-like samples in limiting case for a large number of layer. The spectra strictly depend on equilibrium direction of dc magnetization. Since the equilibrium direction continuously varies as the external field is swept, it has to be calculated for each value of the external field during the record of the SWR spectra. However, it is quite a lot of time consuming, that is, the computer speed may not be enough especially for multilayered structures. Therefore, we have developed a new technique and algorithm to speed up this process. It has been shown that the SWR technique is very suitable to study the spin dynamics and extract various relevant magnetic parameters.

Grenoble Alpes, F-38000 Grenoble, France CEA, INAC-PHELIQS, "Nanophysique et semiconducteurs" Group, F-38000 Grenoble, France Nitride-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) are now widely used for a wide range of applications, including domestic lightning. Present applications are based on the combination of blue LEDs with phosphors in order to produce white light. This is due to the limited efficiency of LEDs in the long wavelength range (green and red). After discussing the limitations of conventional InGaN/GaN LEDs, I will show how nanowire (NW) based LEDs could allow one to extend the present limitations and overcome the present limitations of conventional LEDs. In particular, I will report on the growth, structural and optical characterization of InGaN nanowire (NW) heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy, in view of realizing green and red light emitting diodes (LEDs). As evidenced by a combination of Energy Dispersive X-rays Spectroscopy (EDS) and photoluminescence (PL) data, it will be shown that Indium content can be as large as 60%. The dominant role of carrier localization in InGaN NWs will be discussed in details as well as the potential of NW heterostructures for a new generation of LEDs. 24 (IOP_07) Graphene based optoelectronics from visible to microwave Coşkun Kocabaş Bilkent University, Department of Physics, Ankara, Turkey Graphene emerges as a viable material for optoelectronics because of its broad optical response and gate-tunable properties. Atomic thickness together with tunable high mobility charge carriers yields a unique platform for electrical control of light-matter interactions. For practical applications, however, single layer graphene has performance limits due to its small optical absorption defined by fundamental constants. In the first part of the talk will review the recent research on graphene based optoelectronic devices covering a broad spectrum from visible to microwave. In the second part I will summarize our work on application of graphene in adaptive camouflage systems. 25 (IOP_08) Heusler Alloys: A Rich Class of Materials Hüseyin Kurt İstanbul Medeniyet University, Department of Engineering Physics, Turkey Materials with varying electronic and magnetic structures enable new functionalities. For example, a semiconductor can be used to turn on and off electric current, a superconductor enable dissipation-less electric current to flow, and a spin valve device can act as a valve for electric current controlled by external magnetic fields. Heusler alloys are usually ternary alloys that can be engineered to exhibit electronic and magnetic properties spanning a very wide class of materials. By engineering a well ordered face centered cubic structure novel band structures and magnetic properties can be achieved. During this talk I will give a recent overview of novel materials with novel functionalities obtained through judicious selection of elements and crystallizing them in the L21 or C1b Heusler crystal structures. 26 (IOP_09) Approaching to Gravity? Sebahattin Tüzemen Physics Department, Science Faculty, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey Following the discovery of Higgs Bosons (H) with a mass of around 126 GeV/c2, it is hypothesized in this study that the gauge bosons (theoretically predicted to be gravitons) in the mass interaction may be produced by H, just as photons are produced in the case of electromagnetic (EM) interaction. Although the hypothesis is extremely difficult to prove experimentally in gravitation mechanism, from the parallel estimation of ―quantum efficiencies‖ of virtual gravitons produced by virtual H annihilation in gravitation and virtual photons produced by virtual electron-positron annihilation in EM interaction, due to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle (HUP), we evaluate that the relative ratio of photon to graviton intensities is in the order of 1036 which is in agreement with the relative strength between EM and gravitational interactions predicted in Quantum Field Theory (QFT). 27 (IOP_10) Education and Training in the Nuclear Field Niyazi Meriç Director Ankara University Institute of Nuclear Sciences Bearing in mind the long lead times generally required for nuclear education and training, the establishment and preservation of an adequate nuclear workforce supply calls for systematic planning decades ahead. In this respect, contradictory energy policies can have grave effects. A deteriorated global context caused by the persistent financial crisis and the negative sentiments in the wake of the Fukushima accident heighten uncertainties and may exacerbate existing shortcomings. Indeed, shifting or deferred government decisions act as deterrent mechanisms in investment and employment, and have deleterious repercussions on the interest and engagement of younger people in the industry. 28 ORAL SESSIONS 01_Atomic, Molecular and Plasma Physics February 25, [01_OP01] to [01_OP12] 29 (01_OP01) Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model as a Coupled Quantum Otto Engine Selçuk Çakmak1,2, Ferdi Altintaş2,3 and Özgür E. Müstecaplıoğlu2 1 Department of Physics, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey 2 Department of Physics, Koç University, Sarıyer, İstanbul 3 Department of Physics, Abant İzzet Baysal University, Bolu, Turkey e-mail: secakmak@ku.edu.tr We investigate the concept of heat engines at nanoscale, i.e., quantum heat engines (QHEs). The successful control and production of systems at nanoscale are inspired many proposals of QHEs, recently. In this presentation, we propose Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model as a coupled quantum Otto engine. We calculate the work output and the thermal efficiency for different cases of the adiabatic changes. We mainly consider the effect of the quantum coupling on the performance of the Otto engine. We show that with LMG model, one can approach classical Carnot bound with an Otto cycle. We compare our results with a single qubit Otto engine and demonstrate the possible enhancement for the performance of the quantum Otto engine due to the quantum coupling between spins. 30 (01_OP02) X-Ray Crystal Structure and Cu2+ Doped EPR Studies of CoPrdn Complex İ.

Y3Fe5O12 is used in microwave, acoustic, optical, and magneto-optical applications as filters, transmitters and transducers because of their low magnetic (spin-wave) damping. High quality YIG thin films are very important for integrated device applications. We used Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique to deposit YIG on single crystal Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) substrates. YIG powder was pressed into a pellet and then sintered as a deposition target. GGG substrates chosen because of their low lattice mismatch with YIG and compatibility. Samples deposited between 50 to 150 mTorr oxygen pressures. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques were used for characterization. As a result, we found that deposition rate for YIG/GGG is very slow than expected (≈0.09 Ǻ/pulse) and best deposition pressure is 100 mTorr for our fixed conditions.

The aforementioned filters were fabricated from titanium, copper and Indium Tin Oxide thin films on quartz substrates by UV lithography with an array of cross-shaped apertures. Since the mesh period, cross-arm length and its width specify the spectral characteristics of the filters, we were able to reveal the performance of these filters experimentally using both a THz time domain spectrometer and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). A commercial electromagnetic simulation software, CST Microwave Studio, was used to verify the experimental data. The transmission of the filters are in the range 20-55% at their relevant center frequencies.

Many microorganisms use molecular hydrogen as an energy source (H2 uptake) or protons as an electron sink (H2 evolution) via the hydrogen conversion redox reaction that is catalyzed by hydrogenases. Inspired from nature, synthetic catalysts which mimic the function of the active site of [FeFe] hydrogenases have been developed. Particularly, complexes which accommodate mononuclear iron(I-III) intermediates that feature hydride, phosphine, cyclopentadienyl, and pendant base ligands are of special interest. By means of a theory- supported spectroscopic approach (with FT-IR, EPR, Moessbauer, as well as DFT), it will be shown that not only the metal-core and direct ligands, but also the second coordination sphere have influence on the activity. It will be presented that for an iron hydrido catalysts, the catalytic direction of this class of monoiron compounds can be reversed by rational design of ligands in the first and second coordination sphere of the iron. The investigation of trapped intermediates in their diamagnetic and paramagnetic states provides a comprehensive understanding of the working principles of such model compounds, and leads to newly designed, highly efficient catalysts. 48 (02_OP07) Effect of Polymer Coating on Magnetic Nanocomposites’ Microwave Absorption Properties İ.

As known, such control is essential to design and fabricate optoelectronics based on confined systems. In this work, we illustrate how to achieve practically measured electron localization and energy level oscillation in layered systems by external deformation control. The basic idea is that by applying controlled deformation, the system potential is slightly changed and henceforth the quantum states are changed consequently. The used deformations means are voltage biasing and pressure across layered systems. Certainly, other methods are possible as well. As for the analysis, it is performed both numerically and analytically. For the illustration, three different systems are studied; namely, a graded quantum well with abstract potential deformation, a symmetric multiple quantum well under biasing voltage, and a layered 2-dimensional hybrid perovskites where the deformation is applied by a pressure. The analysis shows that energy level oscillations are achievable and manipulatable in the studied systems by controlled deformations. Also, it is shown that the obtained oscillations are concomitant with level avoided crossings and that the deformation causes an alteration in the spatial localization of the charges. 51 (02_OP10) Ionic Conductivity of Al doped Li0.5-XLa0.5Ti1-XO3 Electrolyte Mehtap Özdemir1, Sena Gülen2, Seda Ulusoy3, Gülnur Aygün4, Lütfi Özyüzer5 1 Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Gediz University, İzmir, Turkey, mehtap.koklu@gediz.edu.tr 2 Department of Physics, İzmir Institute of Technology, İzmir, Turkey, senagulen@iyte.edu.tr 3 Department of Physics, İzmir Institute of Technology, İzmir, Tunrkey, sedaulusoy@iyte.edu.tr 4 Department of Physics, İzmir Institute of Technology, İzmir, Turkey, gulnuraygun@iyte.edu.tr 5 Department of Physics, İzmir Institute of Technology, İzmir, Turkey, lutfiozyuzer@iyte.edu.tr Li-ion batteries have potential applications in portable electronic devices, power source for space vehicles and electrical cars because of its high energy, long life cycle, eco-friendly high safety and reliability and non-combustible properties.

The dispersion relations of the highest valence and the lowest conduction bands near the K point in the Brillouin zone are characterised by a mixture of cubic, parabolic, and linear behaviours in the ABC-stacked trilayer graphene. When the number of graphene layers is increased to more than three, the separation between these valence and conduction bands decreases up until they touch each other. We find these bands at K point for multilayer graphene are derived only from two basis carbon atoms on top and bottom layers that they lie at the centre of below or above the graphene layer. The most inner pair of π/π* bands for N=5 and N=6 multilayer case show flat behaviour close to the K point. The trigonal warping of energy bands slightly above the Fermi level are clearly observed for N=3 trilayer by using our energy contour plot. However, this is not prominent for the N>3 multilayer cases. 53 (02_OP12) Exchange Bias: Bulk or Interface? Ali C. Başaran Gebze Technical University, Physics Department, 41400, Kocaeli, Turkey Exchange bias is present in some ferromagnet / antiferromagnet bilayers and used in applications such as magnetic recording, sensing, and spintronic devices. It is defined as a unidirectional anisotropy due to exchange coupling between two magnetic materials. Since the relevant length scales are very short, exchange bias is generally assumed to be an interfacially governed property. Consequently, most attempts of tailoring the effect in magnitude or direction are based on control of the magnetic structure in direct proximity to the interface. However, the contributions of magnetic structures in regions away from the interface remain ambiguous and need to be investigated. We study the individual contributions of each region of the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer on the exchange bias. We consider the exchange bias effect in magnetic thin films as defined by the three components of the spin structure: i) at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface, ii) in the antiferromagnetic layer, and iii) in the ferromagnetic layer. We performed experiments to address individually these three constituents and found that the exchange bias is significantly affected by the bulk of both the antiferromagnetic and the ferromagnetic layers.

Various types of MIT may be triggered by external parameters such as temperature, pressure, doping and magnetic field. Recent theoretical and experimental reports have suggested that this transition can also be triggered by a threshold electric field. Exploiting this phenomenon, can lead to an entirely new class of electronic switches. Vanadium oxide (VOx), possessing MIT characteristic, shows threshold conductivity switching behavior, the nature of which is subject to debate. In this work, relying on our pervious experimental results, we present a theoretical investigation into the relationship between current and voltage of W/VOx/W device in which, the threshold switching results in two distinct regimes of device I-V curve: nonlinear regime for when the device is in insulating state below the threshold voltage (Vth), and linear regime of filamentary behavior above the Vth. Our experimental results imply independence of the Vth from the temperature of the device. Also we observe, to some degree, an agreement of nonlinear I-V characteristic predicted by a pure theoretical study done by another group (Heidrich-Meisner et al., 2010).

Then, these SDs have been thermally annealed at 600 0C and 700 0C. After each thermal annealing, their I-V characteristics have been measured in the sample temperature range of 60-320 K with steps of 20 K. It has been seen for the non-annealed and annealed samples that the barrier height (BH) increased and ideality factor decreased with increasing sample temperature. The experimental data are consistent with the presence of an inhomogeneity of the BHs. Therefore, the temperature-dependent I-V characteristics of the diodes have been discussed in terms of the single and double-Gaussian distribution model. Moreover, it has been seen that the BH decreased and ideality factor increased with increasing annealing temperature at each sample temperature.

Transition Metal Dichalgogenits (TMDC) such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 have sizable bandgaps that change from indirect to direct in single layers, allowing applications such as transistors, photodetectors and electroluminescent devices. So, fabrication and analysis of these films are important for new generation devices.

Kocaman, M. Ertaş, K. Yıldız, L. C. Arslan, B. Aktaş and Ali C. Başaran Gebze Technical University, Physics Department, 41400 Gebze Kocaeli, Turkey Exchange bias (EB) is one of the phenomena between ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) layers due to the exchange coupling at the interface. The effect results in a shift of the magnetic hysteresis loops when the film is grown in a magnetic field or cooled in a field below the Neel temperature (TN) of the AF. In this study, we will present extensive experimental results on Co/Cu/Co multilayers grown by magnetron sputtering. The structural properties were investigated by x-ray reflectivity that shows a high quality of the layered structure. Vibrating sample magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance measurements at room temperature show the existence of an in-plane magnetic anisotropy that is probably induced by the growth geometry. Magnetic and electrical measurements in a wide range of temperature were carried out by the traditional methods and revealed that the films have a large EB below 100 K. This was unexpected since there is no grown AF layer in our films. We speculate that the EB is induced by naturally oxidation of the top Cobalt layer that turns out to be act as an AF. We will include more detailed analysis of EB properties in these multilayer thin films.

NCdS/P-Si heterojunction and effects of Na doping on structural, optical and electrical properties of CdS thin films were investigated. Crystal structure of all CdS thin films was determined as cubic with (111) preferred direction. High Na doping detoriated crystal structure and amorphous crystal structure obtained for 3% Na doping. The grains of all CdS films were nanosize (that decreased from 7 nm to 5 nm) and grains show homogeneous size and more closed packet structure with Na doping. All samples had high band gap for CdS (2.42 eV) due to quantum size effect and band gap of the samples was increased 3.65 eV to 3.84 eV as a function of Na content. Na doped CdS samples had higher resistivity and carrier concentration than that of un-doped CdS. Ideality factors of n-CdS/p-Si heterojunctions were greater than unity due to nanostructere CdS, which indicates that the diode has nonideal behaviour.

The temperature-dependent electrical characteristics of the annealed at 600°C (Ni/Au)/Al0.09Ga0.91N SBDs were investigated in the wide temperature range of 95-315K. The diode parameters such as ideality factor (n) and Schottky barrier height (Фb0) were obtained to be strongly temperature dependent. The observed variation in Фb0 and n can be attributed to the spatial barrier inhomogeneities in Schottky barrier height by assuming a triple Gaussian distribution (TGD) of barrier heights (BHs) at 95-145K, 145-230K and 230-315K. The modified Richardson plots and T0 analysis was performed to provide an experimental Richardson constants and bias coefficients of the mean barrier height. Furthermore, the chemical composition of the contacts was examined by the XPS depth profile analysis.

The effect of annealing temperatures at (100, 200, 300, 350, 400, 500, 600 and -ray diffraction (XRD). XRD measurements indicate that there is an increase in peak intensities at b = 10.47 Å, c = 4.09 Å which correspond to a monoclinic structure exhibiting C12/m (12) space-group symmetry. The crystallite size has been calculated to be 490- 980 Å for GaTe from the SEM result. It has been observed from EDX result that GaTe contains Ga=36.62 %, Te =63, 33% and O= 0.05 %. Then Zn/p-GaTe Schottky diode has been fabricated. The temperature dependence of current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of Zn/p-GaTe Schottky diode has been investigated in the temperature range of 40–360 K with a temperature step of 10 K under dark conditions. The forward I–V characteristics have been analyzed on the basis of standard thermionic emission theory.

The optical properties of the prepared nanostructures were studied by their absorption and transmission spectra in the range of 200-800nm. As well, the structural properties of these structures were studied to determine the optimum geometry of the employed CFUBDM configuration. The produced Si3N4 nanostructures showed high absorption in the ultraviolet wavelength region (<200nm) in addition to an absorption band centered at 389nm. The energy gap of the prepared samples was found to be 5.2eV of allowed and direct type. Structural results showed that the prepared samples were amorphous with average particle size of 2030nm, average particle diameter of 99.22 nm, and average roughness of 0.777nm.

Sinop, Turkey, turgaykorkut@hotmail.com Due to depletion of fossil fuels, the increased energy leads the high usage of radiation. Recently, the security-focused debate about planned nuclear power plants is still continuing. This study aims to develop and produce new shielding materials to prevent radiation leak emitted from nuclear reactor to environment. In order to develop this new shield some of materials, Rhenium (Re), boron (B), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), tungsten (W) and copper (Cu), were tested in similation programme and gave successful result against fast neutrons. The percentage of usage of these materials in alloys and high absorbation of radiation of fast neutron and gamma were determined by CERN - FLUKE Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation code and WinXCom program. Then the powder metallurgy technique was used to produce super alloys with these materials. To measure equivalent dosage of fast neutron of this produced new shield, an experiment was carried out. This produced products are not only to be used safely reactors but also nuclear medicine’s treatment room, for the storage of nuclear waste, in nuclear research laboratories and against cosmic radiation in space vehicles. 77 (03_OP02) Shell Model Calculations of Mid-Heavy Odd-Even 117,119Sn Isotopes* E.

Therefor, the effect of haematite ore rate on the gamma radiation shielding properties of concrete samples have been measured by using the transmission method for 59.54 keV and 1.25 MeV gamma rays with Si (Li) detector and 0.6 cc, farmer type, PTW™ ion chamber. Linear attenuation coefficients of concrete samples containing haematite ore in different rates were obtained by Lambert equation in which measured gamma rays intensities were used and then these measurements were compared with theoretical values calculated from WinXCom computer software. It was determined that linear attenuation coefficients decreased with increasing haematite ore rate in concrete samples.

Karasu Uysal 1, for the ALICE Collaboration 1 KTO Karatay University, Konya, Turkey, akarasu@cern.ch Resonances are a powerful tool to investigate the properties of the medium created in highenergy nuclear collisions. In particular, they can provide information on particle formation mechanisms and on the properties of the medium at freeze-out. The study of resonance production in other collision systems such as pp and p–Pb forms a necessary baseline to disentangle initial-state effects from genuine medium-induced effects. Thanks to its excellent tracking performance and Particle Identification capabilities, the ALICE detector allows for the reconstruction of resonance particles over a wide range of transverse momentum via their hadronic decay channels. In this talk, recent measurements of hadronic resonance production in pp, p−Pb and Pb−Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC will be presented. The experimental results will be discussed and compared with the theoretical model predictions. 85 (04_OP02) Statistical Thermal Model Analysis of Particle Production at LHC N. Vardar1 and A.

The comparison of experimental data at and the model estimations has made possible to define the thermodynamic parameters of strongly interacting matter at chemical freeze-out temperature. The detailed study of hadron and meson production including resonances using the statisticalthermal model is discussed.

Especially military and commercial rotary wing aviation is suffering from impaired visual field in sandy, dusty, marine and snowy environments. For example during landing the rotor churns up the particles and creates dense clouds of highly scattering medium, which limits the vision of the pilot and may result in an uncontrolled landing. The vision in such environments is limited because of the high ratio of scattered photons over the ballistic photons which have the image information. We propose to use optical spatial filtering (OSF) method in order to eliminate the scattered photons and only collect the ballistic photons at the receiver side. OSF is widely used in microscopy, to the best of our knowledge this will be the first application of OSF for macroscopic imaging. Our experimental results show that most, nearly all, of the scattered photons are eliminated using the spatial filtering in a highly scattering impaired visual field. The results are compared with a standard broad area photo detector which shows the effectiveness of spatial filtering. 88 (05_OP02) Quantitative Analysis of Food Samples Using Calibration Free Lazer Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy A.

LIBS is a versatile technique for rapid multi-element compositional analysis of gaseous, liquid, and solid materials without sample pre-treatment process and damaging the sample. For the quantitative analysis, two different techniques are employed. One of which is the conventional standard calibration curve technique and the other is the calibration free LIBS (CF-LIBS) technique. The matrix effect is one of the most important factors affecting adversely the performance of the LIBS measurement. In order to overcome the matrix effect, CF-LIBS was proposed. Assuming that plasma is in ideal conditions, that is, local thermodynamic equilibrium was reached and the plasma is optically thin. Therefore, in this work, we have used CF-LIBS technique to analyze the Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose samples. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were mixed at certain concentrations and then the amount of calcium content was calculated by using the Saha - Boltzman equation throughthe electron density in the plasma environment of the laser and plasma temperature. 89 ORAL SESSIONS 06_Statistic Physics [06_OP01] 90 (06_OP01) Entropy Production and Internal Friction in Unitary Finite Rate Protocols Ferdi Altintas1, 2, Selçuk Çakmak3and Özgür E.

Deniz Adnan Menderes University, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, 09100-Aydın, Turkey, cdeniz@adu.edu.tr Propagation of electromagnetic waves in parallel plate waveguides is a common fundamental subject involving TE, TM and TEM modes in the Electromagnetic Wave Theory (EMWT). For a given parallel plate waveguide, above some certain cut-off frequencies, different modes are allowed for transmission. Finding these cut off frequencies in the correct mode orders and the solution of the related Helmholtz equation is essential and various computational methods for various software applications has been developed. Mathematica is a very useful conventional software for scientific calculations and recent advances involving free Computable Document Format (CDF) in its packages seem straightforward to be used in such fast-solution applications in the EMWT. In this work, some simple computational algorithm with the related mathematica codes for parallel plate waveguide in lossless medium and lossless walls are being presented. These solutions can also be animated or simulated by using some simple commands in the CDF packages very easily. The success of the algorithm with the related codes reveals that they can be extended for further applications such as lossy media, lossy walls, rectangular waveguide, other geometries, etc. 93 (07_OP02) On The Exact and JWKB Solution of 1D Quantum Harmonic Oscillator by Mathematica C. Deniz Adnan Menderes University, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, 09100-Aydin,Turkey, cdeniz@adu.edu.tr Although being the fundamental semiclassical approximation method mainly used in quantum mechanics and optical waveguides, JWKB method along with the application of the associated JWKB asymptotic matching rules is known to give exact solutions for the quantum harmonic oscillator. Asymptotically matched JWKB solutions are typically accurate or exact in the entire domain except for a narrow domain around the classical turning points where potential energy equals the total energy of the related quantum mechanical system. So, one has to cope with this diverging behavior at the classical turning points since it prohibits us from using continuity relations at the related boundaries to determine the required JWKB coefficients. Here, a computational diagram and related mathematica codes to surmount the problem by applying parity matching for even and odd JWKB solutions rather than boundary continuities are being presented. In effect, JWKB coefficients as well as the conversion factor for the dimensionless form of the Schrodinger’s equation, which is common to both exact and JWKB solutions, is being successfully obtained. 94 (07_OP03) High-Order Pade Approximant as A Convergent Sum for Kinetic Energy Density Functional Gradient Expansion up to the 6th Order Term A. Sergeev1, R. Jovanovic1, S. Kais 1.2.3, and F.H. Alharbi1,2 1 Qatar Environment & Energy Research Institute, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar 2 College of Science & Engineering, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar 3 Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, US It is known that the conventional gradient expansion of the kinetic energy density functional starts with ThomasFermi model as the leading term. The model assumes that the density is uniform and infinitely extended. So, the expansion fails when applied for atoms or finite systems, where it considerably overestimates the energy in the fourth order and generally diverges in the sixth order. To avoid the divergence, many approaches were suggested including lower-order Pade approximants for the sum up to the forth order term of the expansion. However, the sixth and higher terms are generally avoided due to the divergence issue. In this work, we circumvent the divergence by replacing the asymptotic series including the sixth order term in the integrand by higher-order Padé approximants. The presented approach avoids the regions where the higher order terms are relatively large and are no longer ―small corrections‖ while taking advantage of these terms in areas where they are small and improve the accuracy. The presented approximations improve moderately the accuracy when compared to the partial sums of the series. The approach is applied for atoms and Hooke’s law model for two-electron atoms. The results are presented and discussed. 95 ORAL SESSIONS 08_Applied Physics [08_OP01] to [08_OP08] 96 (08_OP01) Magnetic Levitation by Permanent Magnets Ali Can Aktaş1, Mehmet Kaya1, Kamil Kaya1, Bekir Aktaş1 1 Gebze Technical University (GTU), Physicis Department, Gebze/Kocaeli/Turkey aaktas@gtu.edu.tr ; mkaya@gtu.edu.tr ; kamil@kamilkaya.com.tr ; aktas@gtu.edu.tr An effective active control technique has been developed to magnetically levitate an object above permanent magnets arrayed symmetrically about a perpendicular axis. Since the static magnetic force field does not have absolute static equilibrium position for a body containing a ferromagnetic object an active technique has been developed to reach quasi-static state. The magnetic part of the floating body was assumed to be magnetically symmetric about a perpendicular axis. The non magnetic part of the flying body has to be as symmetric as possible with respect to its weight as well. A mathematical model for the device has been proposed and its dynamic properites sucesfully analized. The model uses mechanical and magnetic parameters to simulate the motion of the flying body. The quasi-equilibrium (quisistationary) position of the floating body has been succesfully reached by applying ac magnetic fields produced by two mutually perpendicular current coil pairs in horizontal plane. The quasi-equilibrium position is addressed by well-oriented narrow laser beam source located at the symmetry axis of the flying body. Due to the astray magnetic force field lines, the body always tries to go far from its equilibrium location and equilibrium orientation. Therefore in the model a quadratic light sensor measures the deviation of the flying object from its equilibrium position and instantly informs the electronic control unit. Thus the electronic control unite calculate needed amount of the ac current to apply into the coil pairs to produce necessary restoring magnetic field on the flying body to bring it back its quasi-equilibrium position in horizontal plane. 97 (08_OP02) Pinning Properties of Y211 Added Cold Top-Seeded YBCO Grown on Y2O3 Layer Bakiye Çakır1, 2, Şeyda Duman3, Alev Aydıner1 1 Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon 61080, Turkey, bakiye.cakir@gmail.com 2 Department of Elementary Education, Faculty of Education, Artvin Çoruh University, Artvin 08000, Turkey 3 Vocational School of Health Services, Artvin Çoruh University, Artvin 08000, Turkey In this study, samples having different composition were prepared with cold top seeding-meltgrowth (TSMG) process by using Nd123 seed.Y2O3 buffer layer was placed to bottom of the pellets consist of Y123: Y211 powder mixtures.

However, environmental and health concerns over lead toxicity has resulted in recent legislation to limit the use of lead-based solders and encouraged researchers to discover new lead-free solders. In this study, we investigated microstructural and superconducting properties of lead-free solders which are commonly used in technology. The samples were characterised by using SEM/EDX for microstructural properties and SQUID was used for magnetic and superconducting properties. We claimed that this solders may not efficient for superconducting applications. 99 (08_OP04) The Canculation and Comparison of Characteristic Parameters of Re/n-Si and Mo/n-Si Schottky Diodes Structures Produced by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) Technique Using New and Existing Methods H.

It has a vital importance of knowing the characteristic parameters, such as I0 saturation current, φB barrier height, n ideality factor and Rs serial resistence, in advance, to design and produce the circuit. The nature of deposition methods for metals (Re,Mo,Ti ...) having high melting temperatures become very important when these are considered to be a rectifier contact and a few number of methods remains as options. One of these is PLD method having effectively controlable parameters.

Öztürk1,2 and B. Aktaş1 1 Gebze Technical University, Physics Department, Gebze / Kocaeli, Turkey, aktas@gtu.edu.tr 2 TUBITAK BILGEM*, Gebze/Kocaeli, Turkey, yavuz.ozturk@tubitak.gov.tr Most of the magnetic detection and imaging applications require highly uniform magnetic fields. For instance, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) instruments need high field uniformities for locating signals from the body under examination, together with extreme field intensities for an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. In typical imaging machines uniform magnetic fields are generated using coils which are generally of Helmholtz coil type. However there also exist alternative coil structures such as tetra coils, saddle coils, planar coils etc. Spheroidal coils may in fact be another alternative for generating such uniform magnetic fields. Here we present theoretical background along with our finite element calculation results. Finally we show our experimental measurements on a spheroidal coil we produced. It reveals that a high field uniformity of about 0.15% is indeed achievable inside spheroids using certain winding functions on their surface for emulating theoretically known surface currents. * The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Center of Research for Advanced Technologies of Informatics and Information Technology 103 (08_OP08) RGO / ZnO Composite Materials Produced from Different Zinc Salts and Investigation of Their Super Capacitor Performance Ö.

MBDCAs require well-defined test case brachytherapy plans for dose verification purposes. In this study, we developed a new Monte Carlo based 3d-geometry testing procedure for MBDCA systems. The goal of this system is to detect abnormal dose changes in the absorbing medium due to the arbitrary translation and/or rotation of sources in the geometry. For this purpose, various test case scenarios were prepared. In each scenario, different number of the same model radioactive brachytherapy sources are placed at certain locations in a voxelized water environment and then dose distributions were obtained in the phantom by using Monte Carlo technique. BrachyDose Monte Carlo code was used as the MBDCA tool for all dose calculations in this study. Dose outputs of these calculations were saved in a database so that they can be used as reference data sets for MBDCA based TPSs. This study is supported by TUBITAK (under project 213E028) and dose calculations were fully performed at TUBITAK/ULAKBIM High Performance and Grid Computing Center (TRUBA resources). 106 (09_OP02) Calculation of Linear Attenuation Coefficients and CT Hounsfield Units Using Radionuclide 99mTc for SPECT/CT H. Doğan and E. Dikmen Süleyman Demirel University, Department of Physics, Isparta, Turkey, hilaldogan@sdu.edu.tr The linear attenuation coefficients (µ) and Hounsfield units (HUs) are calculated for six materials covering the range of values found clinically. Narrow-beam µ values are measured by performing radionuclide transmission scans using 99mTc and compared to the published data. The relationship between µ and HU can be used to convert the computed tomography (CT) images to the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images. Defining the relationship between the linear attenuation coefficient and HU is essential when using X-ray CT data for SPECT attenuation correction. A series of such relationships have been determined for six materials that span the density range encountered clinically. 107 (09_OP03) Comparing Dose Distributions of Dose to Water and Dose to Medium Calculations for Intracranial SRT I.

Monaco 5 treatment planning system can account the absorbed dose calculation in two modes that are Dose to Water (Dw) and Dose to Medium (Dm). Twenty five intracranial SRT plans were prepared by providing 95% dose coverage in Dm mod by using 6MV-FFF energy. All plans were optimized by selecting the grid spacing 0.2 cm, Beamlet width 0,25-0,3 cm and statistical uncertainty of 1%. The results were evaluated with Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests. Similar results were found with intracranial SRT delivery. All difference were below 1% in Planning Target Volume (PTV). V5, V10, V20 in brain were similar. Dw has calculated left and right cochlea maximum dose by 7,45% (p:0,001) and 7,54% (p:0,001) more accordingly. Although similar results were found in intracranial irradiations, differences between Dw and Dm increases in like bone (cochlea). Target in intracranial (SRT) VMAT plans (Dm) will give more accurate results in the calculation to be made.

It is found in nature and it can also be produced by human activities. Tritium concentrations in the urine samples were measured by the liquid scintillation counter (LSC). Liquid scintillation counting is the most commonly used technique for determining tritium in environmental and biological samples. The urine samples were analyzed and collected from 30 adult participants in Samsun, Turkey. Their ages ranged from 18 to 60, and 12 of them were female. The mean tritium concentration in their urine samples was 7.41 ± 1.38 Bq/L and the maximum 21.38 Bq/L. The MDA for this method was 2.59 Bq/L. The tritium concentrations of 6 samples (20 %) were below of the MDA. The average tritium concentrations in urine samples of males and females were 7.80 ± 1.47 Bq/L, 6.82 ± 1.24 Bq/L, respectively. The annual effective doses for males and females were also evaluated and the results were much lower than the dose limit for tritium inside the body. 111 (09_OP07) Comparative Investigation of Normal Modes and Molecular Dynamics of Hepatitis C NS5B Protein M.

Normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics methods are widely used physics-based computational methods for investigating dynamics of proteins. In this work, we studied dynamics of Hepatitis C NS5B protein with molecular dynamics and normal mode analysis. Principal components obtained from 100 nanoseconds molecular dynamics simulations show good overlaps with normal modes calculated with a coarse-grained elastic network model. Coarse-grained normal mode analysis takes at least an order of magnitude shorter time. Encouraged by this good overlaps and short computation times, we analyzed further low frequency normal modes of Hepatitis C NS5B. Motion directions and average spatial fluctuations have been analyzed in detail. Finally, biological implications of these motions in drug design efforts against Hepatitis C infections have been elaborated. 112 (09_OP08) Total Body Irradiation’s Dosimetric Features by Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Method B.

Five TBI patient’s treatment planning performed using Monaco5.1 ® treatment planning system with three different VMAT tecniques for each patient.First one was single arc VMAT tecnique,second one was double arc VMAT tecnique and third one was 2 fields arc VMAT tecnique for one isocentre.The VMAT-TBI tecnique consisted of three isocentres and three overlapping arcs.The prescribed dose was 95% of target volume receiving dose of 12 Gy.Mean dose to lung and kidney were restricted less than 9.0 Gy. An average total delivery time was determined 835±86 seconds and an average monitor unit(MU)s was determined 2202±254 MUs for double arc VMAT technique.This study demonstrates that double arc VMAT technique has got less MUs than other technique but an average delivery time is %17 more than single arc VMAT technique.When we compared organ at risk (OAR)s,we had less dose and better dose coverage to target with double arc VMAT technique. The tecnique for TBI using VMAT was found feasible.The results show that dose coverage of target and OAR's doses also depend significantly VMAT techniques. Based on the results we have decided to plan TBI in our clinic with double arc VMAT tecnique. 113 ORAL SESSIONS 10_Physics Education [10_OP01] to [10_OP07] 114 (10_OP01) Investigating of Elementary Teachers Candidates’ Experiences About Simple Physics Experiments Developed Based on Constructivist 5e Model Necati Hırça1 1 Bartın University, Education Faculty, Bartın, Turkey, dr.hirca@gmail.com This study was carried out 34 Elementary Teacher Candidates (ETCs) in 2013-2014 education year. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. The applications completed in five phases. a) The instructor introduced physics experiments and Constructivist 5E Model. b) He briefed how can develop a simple physics experiments based on constructivist 5e model by giving an illustrative example. c) He briefed how to use movie maker program to edit the experiment videos and how to use msexcel program to draw graphics. d) He wanted ETCs to record and edit simple physics experiments based on Constructivist 5E Model similar to illustrative example where they dwell in. e) ETCs presented their experiment videos to discuss them with each other in class.

Using Drama and Role Play in physics courses helps to overcome this thoughts about course. Drama and Role Play enables students to be active in knowledge construction process instead of being passive listener and motivates them. This study aims to combine Drama and Role Play examples from literature and personal experiences which are related with concepts in introductory physics courses. These examples vary from Photoelectric Effect to Ohm’s law. Although introductory physics course is full of concepts and formulas, using drama examples may change the learning atmosphere more attractive and funny. Drama and Role Play examples will be presented with the drama application steps (introduction, development, quieting) so that this study will serve as a resource for physics instructors.

Out of local language, educators need to teach robotic language and use necessary technologies to design robots like Arduino set. This set let users to know less code/computer language and knowledge about electronics. Users may develop their own robots with this set. It also improves design and implementation skills. However it is not a suitable design for blinds. Universal design approach suggests educators to design courses in a way to meet the needs of all participants. By this approach, learning environments are helpful and useful for participants with special needs. With the scope of the study we suggest a three steps course design for robotics education; introducing with appropriate materials, using real materials with descriptions and discussing for further designs. In the first step bigger materials with big holes and big bottoms will be used to make sense about devices. In the second step, during the sighted learners are testing we suggest to educator to describe what is happening. The last step will be about imagination for what we should do more. Present study may lead to new insights on how to introduce system to blinds during the learning process. 117 (10_OP04) A Discussion on Velocity–Speed and Their Instruction Ali Yıldız Education Faculty of Kazım Karabekir, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, ayildiz@atauni.edu.tr The study was conducted to investigate how to teach velocity and speed effectively with which activities and examples and although they are different quantities, they are generally used in the same meaning. The data of the study and the quantities discussed were obtained from the examination of documents like scientific articles and books about the instruction and they were examined using descriptive analysis approach. Expository instruction was supported with writing to learn activities and an approach which was actualized in seven stages was suggested so that velocity and speed could be learnt at an anticipated level. What could be done at each stage was explained and especially at the fifth stage of the study, the detailed example on distance, displacement, velocity and speed would promote understanding of the presented quantities much more easily and correctly with their critical properties and students would associate it with their prior knowledge. Moreover, it is anticipated that due to these reasons, the example could be used as a tool to actualize permanent learning. At the last stage of the study, it is considered that having students write a letter and a summary to young respondents and using them can support what was done in the previous stages and also it can promote long-term retention of the learned concepts. 118 (10_OP05) Adapting Smart Phone Applications about Physics Education to Blind Students M.

They need energy to sustain this evolution. The demand of energy is mainly provided from fossil fuels. Unfortunately, this kind of energy reserves are consumed away day by day. Therefore, there is a need to use alternative energy sources to supply energy needs. Alternative energy sources can be listed as; solar, wind, wave, biomass, geothermal and hydro-electric power. Our country has significant potential for wind energy. Wind power density estimation is required to determine the wind potential. In this study, the wind power density was estimated by using artificial neural network (ANN) method. Forty meteorological station were used for ANN training, while eighteen meteorological stations were used to test the trained network. Network has trained according to, respectively; trainlm, trainbfg, trainscg, traincgp traincgb, traincgf ve trainoss learning algorithms. The correlation coefficient (R) and Mean bias error (MBE) of the best developed model were calculated as 0,9767 and -0,3124 W/m2 respectively. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was calculated as 1,4786 W/m2. In conclusion, the obtained results demonstrate that the developed model can be used to estimate the wind power density. 129 (12_OP04) Comparison of Ge, InGaAs p-n Junction Solar Cell Murat Korun, Tuğba Selcen Navruz Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey, muratkorun,selcen@gazi.edu.tr In this paper, the effect of material parameters on the efficiency of Ge and InGaAs semiconductor solar cells which are most commonly used as the sub-cell of multi-junction solar cells are investigated and the results due to these two cells are compared. The efficiency of Ge (EG=0.67 eV) solar cell which is easy to manufacture and inexpensive in cost, is compared with the efficiency of InGaAs (EG=0.74 eV) solar cell which is coming with drawback of high production difficulties and cost. The theoretical efficiency limit of Ge and InGaAs solar cells with optimum thickness were determined by using detailed balance model under one sun AM1.5 illumination. Since the band gap values of two cells are close to each other, approximate detailed balance efficiency limits of 16% for InGaAs and 14% for Ge are obtained. When drift- diffusion model is used and the thicknesses and doping concentrations are optimized, the maximum efficiency values are calculated as 13% for InGaAs and 9% for Ge solar cell. For each solar cell external quantum efficiency curves due to wavelength are also sketched and compared. 130 (12_OP05) Estimation of Global Solar Radiation by Using Machine Learning Methods M.

Methods were trained with a two-year data set and accuracy of the mentioned methods was tested with a one-year data set. The data set of each year was consisting of 12 months. Whereas the values of month, altitude, latitude, longitude, vapour pressure deficit and land surface temperature were used as input for developing models, GSR was obtained as output. Values of vapour pressure deficit and land surface temperature were taken from radiometry of NOAA-AVHRR satellite. Estimated solar radiation data were compared with actual data that were obtained from meteorological stations. According to statistical results, most successful method was NU-SVR method. The RMSE and MBE values of NU-SVR method were found to be 1,4972 MJ/m2 and 0,2652 MJ/m2, respectively. R value was 0,9728. Furthermore, worst prediction method was LR. For other methods, RMSE values were changing between 1,7746 MJ/m2 and 2,4546 MJ/m2. It can be seen from the statistical basis that ELM, SVR, KNN and NU-SVR methods can be used for estimation of GSR. 131 (12_OP06) Development of a High-Precision Thermistor Probe for Paleo-Climate Studies K.

They are can used for determination of continental heat flow of a region, and for geothermal applications. High resolution T-D logs are also useful for paleo-climatic studies as the subsurface records the past temperatures of the earth. A temperature logging tool can be designed with a 1 mK accuracy using thermistor type temperature sensor. In this study, development of a T-D logging tool that uses a thermistor type probe is explained. The tool measures the resistance changes in the sensor and converts it into temperature information. The cable resistance changes are eliminated using the 4-wire resistance measurement method. The tools can log boreholes down to 300m with the desired logging depth interval. The time constant of the measurement probe is less than 10 s in water which enables quick data acquisition. The tool works in surface read-out mode that allows real time monitoring of the downhole thermal regime. The tool weighs less than 40 kg which makes it very portable in order to use in different kinds of field conditions. 132 (12_OP07) Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Pure Water Temperature on Power Consumption of the PEM Electrolyser Habib Gürbüz1, Hüsamettin Akçay1, Selim Demirtürk2 1 Süleyman Demirel University, Engineering Faculty, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 32260 Isparta, Turkey 2 Uşak University, Vocational School of Technical Sciences, 6420 Uşak, Turkey habibgurbuz@sdu.edu.tr, akcay61akcay@hotmail.com, selim.demirturk@usak.edu.tr In this study, methods used in the hydrogen production examined, and then effect of water temperature on the DC power consumption of Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis unit were investigated experimentally.

To do this, a novel computational image processing method based on area picking under the spectral curves was established. The method was applied specifically to the EPR spectra of a vanadyl doped compound containing many lines having both types of data: meaningful and meaningless. The provided technique can be expanded to all types of EPR spectra. Both positive and negative peak values in the analog spectra were detected and transferred to digital environment by using the image processing technique. The analog structures of the spectra were reobtained by using curve fitting methods after the digital spectra were implemented some basic morphological image processing techniques. The results were satisfactory comparing with the analog or poorly resolved spectra. 134 (12_OP09) Artificial Intelligence Techniques for the Estimation of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Performance Abdulsamet Haşıloğlu1* , Mahmut Bayramoğlu2 , Ömür Aras3 1 Department of Computer Engineering, Atatürk University, Erzurum 25240, Turkey asamet@atauni.edu.tr 2 Department of Chemical Engineering, Gebze Technical University, Kocaeli 41400, Turkey mbayramoglu@gtu.edu.tr 3 Department of Chemical Engineering, Gebze Technical University, Kocaeli 41400, Turkey oaras@gtu.edu.tr Artificial neural networks and neuro-fuzzy inference systems are well known artificial intelligence techniques used for black-box modelling of complex systems. In this study, Feedforward artificial neural networks (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are used for modelling the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Current density (I), fuel cell temperature (T), methanol concentration (C), liquid flow-rate (q) and air flowrate (Q) are selected as input variables to predict the cell voltage. Polarization curves are obtained for 35 different operating conditions according to a statistically designed experimental plan. In modeling study, various subsets of input variables and various types of membership function are considered. A feed -forward architecture with one hidden layer is used in ANN modeling. The optimum performance is obtained with the input set (I,T,C,q) using twelve hidden neurons and sigmoidal activation function. On the other hand, first order Sugeno inference system is applied in ANFIS modeling and the optimum performance is obtained with the input set (I,T,C,q) using sixteen fuzzy rules and triangular membership function. The test results show that ANN model estimates the polarization curve of DMFC more accurately than ANFIS model.

If an atom is bombarded with photons, electrons or protons which have enough energy for the ionization, the shell electron leaves the electronic cloud and the atom loses an electron through creation of a vacancy. The vacancy is filled either by emission of an X-ray, by Auger transition or CosterKronig transition which is special case of the Auger transition. These transitions are called radiative and non-radiative processes, respectively. In this work, to obtain the K-Li (i=2,3), total K-L and total K-M shell vacancy transfer probabilities for Europium, Gadolinium and Terbium elements, the experimental values of Kα1, Kα2, Kβ'1 and Kβ'2 X-ray production cross sections, K shell fluorescence yields and Kβ/Kα, Kα2/Kα1 and Kβ'1/ Kα1 intensity ratios were determined at 59.54 keV photon energy from a 100 mCi Am241 annular source using excitation geometry and a Si(Li) detector system.

UV-visible and fluorescence spectra of the three different of 2- phenoxybenzylideneamino) phenol derivatives are measured in 28 different polarity solvent. The maximum wavelength peaks analysis is performed and electronic structure is evaluated. UV electronic absorption spectra indicate four electronic transition bands. The first, second and third electronic transition bands are π→π* electronic transitions born out from conjugations of the phenyl rings, from -N = CH- group and conjugation between -N = CH- with the phenyl rings, respectively. The forth band is observed in some solvents such as benzonitrile, o-xylene, toluene, acetone, DMSO, benzen, eiethyl ether and 1,4-dioxane. This transition corresponds to n→π* transitions that caused by -N=CH- and solvent interactions, or excited state intra molecular proton transfer. The third electronic band displays bathochromic shifts both in electronic absorption and emission spectra.The first band in the fluorescence spectra can be attributed to π*→π electronic transition due toN=CH- and phenyl ring.The second band in fluorescence spectra are observed in some solvents such as benzene, diethylether, dichloromethane, iso-butanol, chloroform, 1-heptanol, 1-butanol, iso-butanol, npentane and n-hexane and are correspond to excited state intra molecular proton transfer which arecaused by N=CHgroup electron. Solvent-solute interactions are defined with using multi linear regression analysis (MLRA) by KamletTaft parameter,Catalan parameter, Marcus optical dielectric function and ReichardtDimroth solvent parameter.

In this report, we present and analyse the results of theoretical calculations of electronic and nonlinear optical properties for all possible F, Cl and Br substituted thiophene molecules. The calculated properties are electronic energy, HOMOLUMO (H-L) energies, dipole moments, static polarizability, anisotropy of polarizability, and first hyperpolarizability. Theoretical calculations were performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,p) level. To analyze the effects of the type, number and position of halogen substituents (F, Cl, Br) on the electronic and nonlinear optical properties of thiophene ring, some conclusions can be drawn as follows. All halo thiophenes have planar structures.The difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies represents energy gap. For thiophene, the calculated H-L value is 5.99 eV. The average value of the energy gap decrease with substituents, but there is not position and substituent number dependence. The value of dipole polarizability for fluorothiophens same as in the unsubstituted thiophene 62 au. But an increase in the number of substituted chlorine and bromine atoms on the thiophene ring increases dipole polarizability the values ranges from 62 to 151 au. The calculated hyperpolarizability shows that halogenated thiophens have significant changes up to 340 au, compared with unsubstituent thiophene’s value of 11 au. 152 (01_PP13) Structure, Vibrational Assignment and Electronic Properties of Some Furanocoumarins Mehmet Bahat1, Büşra Aydın Deliönü2 and Hamit Alyar3 1 Gazi University, Physics Department, Ankara, Turkey, bahat@gazi.edu.tr 2 Gazi University, Physics Department, Ankara, Turkey 3 Karatekin University, Physics Department, Çankırı, Turkey, halyar@karatekin.edu.tr When furan ring fused with coumarin molecule, two isomers are produced known as psoralen and angelicin as a subclass of furanocoumarins.

The high values of C and G at low frequencies are ascribed to the excess capacitance (Cex.) and conductance (Gex./w) resulting from the surface states (Nss) in equilibrium with the p-Si that could follow the alternating ac signal and polarization processes. The values of C crossing at almost a certain forward bias voltage point (~ 2.2 V) and then go negative which is known negative capacitance (NC) for each frequency. The value of NC, decreases with decreasing frequency at forward bias voltage and this decrease of the NC corresponds to an increase of the conductance. Such changes in C and G/w may be explained by considering the loss of surface charges at occupied states below Fermi level (EF) due to impact ionization processes. In addition, an anomalous peak has been observed in the forward bias capacitance especially at low frequency due to the existence of Nss and series resistance of the structure. It is thought that the capacitance value decreases with increasing polarization and more carriers are introduced in the structure.

The main characteristic diode parameters suc as apperent ideality factor ( ap. n ) and apparent barrier height (BH) have remained almost unaltered, between 1.06-1.13 and at a value of about 0.810 eV, respectively, at the temperatures above 200 K. Hence, it can hardly be supposed that FeCrNiC alloy contacts on n-GaAs have shown excellent diode behaviour due to the ideality factor values near the unity and almost independent of the sample temperature above 200 K. An abnormal decrease in the φap. and an increase in the ap. n with a decrease in temperature have been observed below 200 K. This behaviour has been explained on the basis of the thermionic emission (TE) theory by incorporating the concept of inhomogeneous multiple barriers with nanometer-sized patches with low BH at the metal-semiconductor (MS) interface. The BH inhomogeneity assumption has also been interpreted by linear behaviour of the φap. vs. ap. n plot. A modified Richardson plot, from Tung’s approach, yields a satisfactorily value for the Richardson constant; considering the effective patch area which is significantly lower than the entire geometric Schottky contact area, at the temperatures below 200 K. Thus, our results confirm that the use of Tung’s lateral inhomogeneity approach is more appropriate to construe the I-V-T characteristics of MS structures with inhomogeneous interface. 175 (02_PP15) Investigation of Physical Properties of LuRhO3 Structure Bahattin Erdinc1, Mesut Kaval2 1 Yüzüncü Yıl University,Van, Turkey bahattinerdinc@yyu.edu.tr 2 Yüzüncü Yıl University,Van, Turkey kavalmesut@gmail.com In the present work, structural optimization, electronic energy band structure and total density of states of LuRhO3 were examined using density functional theory within the local density and generalized gradient approximations.

Besides, optical properties of this crystal were investigated within the generalized gradient approximation.

Characteristic parameters such as barrier height (BH), ideality factor (n) and serial resistance (Rs) of identically fabricated (35 dots) FeCrNiC/p-Si junctions have been computed by thermionic emission (TE) theory from the forward-bias current-voltage (I-V) data, at room temperature and in dark. A statistical study on the junction parameters has been made by using Tung’s model. The BHs obtained from the I-V characteristics varied from 0.552 to 0.631 eV. The values of n varied from 1.007 to 1.611 and the serial resistances Rs varied from 108 to 137 Ω. The results showed that all parameters of FeCrNiC/p-Si junctions differ from one device to another even though they were identically prepared. The experimental BH, ideality factor and serial resistance distributions are fitted by a Gaussian function, and their mean values were found to be 0.579 eV, 1.286 and 117 Ω, respectively. Also, lateral homogeneous BH ( hom. ) value of 0.588 eV for the FeCrNiC/p-Si junctions has been obtained from the eff. - n plot by using Tung’s lateral inhomogeneity approach. The good agreement of these parameters indicates that the BH inhomogeneity of FeCrNiC/p-Si junction can be well delineated by spatial distributions of BH, i.e., electron transport at the MS interface is significantly affected by nanoscale spatial variations. 179 (02_PP19) Star-shaped Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Core (POSS) Based Organic FieldEffect Transistor B.

Surface pollutions of samples which were obtained after casting processes were cleaned, and heat treatment was applied for 15 mins. at approximately 70 °C, and it was left for cooling in the furnace. After metallographic processes, mechanical properties were monitored by hardness testing, which is one of the easiest ways to determine the mechanical properties of the different phases of the structure. The value of micro hardness for eutectic PbSn-Zn (65.5 %wt. Sn-31.1 % wt. Pb-3.4 % wt.

The M' and M'' have low values at low frequencies region and then an increase with frequency due to short-range mobility of charge carriers. While the value of M' increase with increasing frequency, the value of M'' shows two peak and the peaks positions shifts to higher frequency with increasing applied voltage due to the decrease of the polarization and Nss effects with increasing frequency. 189 (02_PP29) Electrical Characteristics of Au/n-4H-SiC (MS) and Au/Si3N4/ n-4H-SiC (MIS) Type Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs): A Comparative Study F. Yiğiterol1, D. E. Yıldız1 1 Physics Department, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Hitit University, Çorum, Turkey In this study, Au/n-type 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) with and without interfacial insulator layer (Si3N4) were fabricated to explain whether or not this layer is effective on main electrical parameters such as zero-bias barrier height (ΦBo), ideality factor (n), interface states (Nss), series resistance (Rs), diffusion potential (Vd) and deplation layer width (WD). The experimental forward and reverse bias current-voltage (I-V), capacitance–voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G/w)-V characteristics of these devices were carried out in the wide voltage range at room temperature. The values of n and ΦBo were found from the forward bias I-V data as 1.305 and 0.796 eV for Au/n-type 4H-SiC (D1), and 3.142 and 0.713eV for Au/Si3N4/n-type 4H-SiC (D2), respectively. It is clear that the obtained value of n is greater than unity especially for diode with Si3N4 layer. Therefore, such behavior of n especially can be attributed to the interfacial layer, Nss, and the formation of barrier height inhomogeneity which is contain many patches around mean barrier height at metal/semiconductor (M/S) interface. The values of n and ΦB were also determined as function of applied bias voltage (V) and their values increase with increasing V for two diodes. In addition, the energy density distribution profile of Nss was obtained from the forward bias I-V data by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height (Φe) and n(V) with and without Rs. The Nss values with Rs are almost one order of magnitude lower than those without Rs for two devices. C-V measurements show that the values of C for D1 goes to negative value at about 2.5 V. This decrease in negative capacitance (NC) corresponds to the the other hand, the values of C do not have a negative behavior in the forward bias region for D2. In addition, the value of leakage current at (-1 V) for D2 is almost one order lower than D1 diode. These results show that the high dielectric interfacial layer (Si3N4) is considerably improve the diode performance.

The IR-V curves in the reverse direction are taken and interpreted via both Schottky and Poole-Frenkel effects. The theoretical values of 𝛽 coefficients for Al/TiO2/p-Si Schottky diodes are βPF=1.0x10-4eV/m1/2V-1/2 and βS=5.48x10-5eV/m1/2V-1/2. The experimental value of β obtained from slope of linear region in In (IR) vs. E1/2 is 4.61x10-5 eV/m1/2V-1/2 for 300K. In addition, the experimental value of βS obtained from slope of linear region in In(JR/A*T2) vs. V1/2 is 3.26x10-5 eV/m1/2V-1/2 for diode. A good agreement between the theoretical values of βS and the experimentally value of β was established. It is suggested that Schottky effect is more dominated in reverse direction as is more close to theoretical Schottky coefficient.

In this thickness range, the forward I-V plots were investigated by evaluating electrical properties, s Bo) , ideality factor (n) and carrier mobility (µ). The experimental values of Bo increases with increasing thickness and the experimental values of n is high than an ideal state (n=1) for each thickness. The n>1 can be also attributed to the existence of an insulating layer. In addition, thickness effect of the carrier mobility was measured using SCLC model in all diodes. Our results suggest that the thickness of the PFTBT:PC61BM layer significantly affects the electrical properties, namely the space charge region of the ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Polymer:PC61BM/LiF/Al.

In order to study the thermal annealing effects on electrical properties of the (Ni/Au)/Al0.09Ga0.91N Schottky contacts, samples were annealed in a quartz tube furnace for 2 min. in flowing argon ambient from 100 to 700°C with step of 100°C. Optimum conditions were obtained at after the 600°C annealing. In that case the Dit was 2.551x1012 eVcm-2 and 1.010x1011 eVcm-2 at 0 V and 3 V respectively. Also, τ were found to be 6.29x10-6 s and 1.49x10-4 s at the same bias range. The obtained interface state density values is low for a naturally highly defected substrates. In fact, annealing causes a metal diffusion in to the substrate and interface chemistry rearranges and of course charge density distribution at interface.

The series resistance (Rs) values of this device was determined with the help Cheung functions at low temperatures. The plots of dV/d(lnI) versus I graph gives a straightline. Series resistance value is determined fromthe slope of this straightline. We have calculated from these values as 268 kΩ at 300 K, 760 kΩ at 140 K, respectively. Furthermore, the series resistance values have been calculated as using the slope of H(I)-I graphs. Both dV/d(lnI)versus I and H(I)-I graphs gave about same values. Inaddition, Rs values have been calculated via Norde functions as 256 kΩ at 300 K, 510 kΩ at 140 K.

It is clear that , 1300 M while the values of n, Φbo, Rs and Rsh increases with increasing interlayer thickness, Io decreases. In addition, there is a linear correlation between n andΦbo.The high values of n for each sample was attributed to the existence of interfacial layer, surface states, barrier inhomogeneities. The energy density distribution profile of surface states(Nss) were obtained from the forward bias I-V data taking into account voltage dependent effective barrier height(e) and n for each sample. The voltage dependent profile of ofresistance(Ri) were also obtained by using Ohm’s Law for each sample. Experimental results are confirmed that both the Rs,Rsh, the thicknes of interfacial layer and Nss values aremore important parameters which considerably influence the performance of these devices.

The capacitance/conductance-voltage-frequency (C-V-f and G/w-V-f) measurements of these structures were carried out in the frequency range of 1 kHz-1 MHz and dc voltage swepts from -6V to +6V by 50 mV steps at room temperature. Voltage and frequency dependence profiles of surface states(Nss) and resistance of the structure(Ri) were obtained from the forward and reverse bias C-V and G/w-V data by using Nicollian and Brews method. Experimental results show that the C-V and G/w-V plots have inversion, depletion and accumulation regions lika a metal-insulator/oxide-semiconductor (MIS or MOS) type behavior and the values of C and G are considerebly decrease with increasing frequncy especialy in depletion and accumulation regions due to the particular density distribution of Nss at M/S interface and Rs, respectively.While the values of C become decrease in the strong accumualtion region, G/w increases due an inductive behavior of the structure in this region.The obtained experimental results revealed that the thicknes of interlayer, Rs and Nss have an important effect on C-V and G/w-V characteristics of MPS structure.

Interface states (Nss) connected to the energy distrubiton profile, taking account into the changes caused by voltages FBo and n value was obtained for each sample. At 1 MHz frequency, from reverse and forward bias capasitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G/w-V) measurements, we gained barrier height (FB(C-V)), the concentration of the recipient contribute atoms (Na), Rs and deplation layer width (WD) calculated and compared. For every sample on C-V curves, at direct voltage there was abnormal peak and at forward voltages the curve value was going to negative. It’s thought to be caused by Nss, Rs and the influence of interface layer. The obtained experimental results showed nearly all the electrical parameters of the thickness of the interfacial layer and homogenity are all quite connected. In this study, it’s observed that the sample with 5nm thickness Zn-doped PVA interfacial layer have the best performance in terms of Rs, Rsh, RR and Nss. Till at a sufficiently high thickness (di≥30nm) showed that the decrease in the performance of the prepared structure. The amount of Zn doping for conductivity in PVA is known to be highly influential on the electrical measurements.

Furthermore, palladium-based materials provide an advantage in selectivity and long-term stability. It is predicted that InPd compound crystallizes in cubic phase (space group: Pm-3m) with a lattice parameter of a=3.295 Å by accurate first-principles calculations performed within density functional theory implemented as Cambridge Sequential Total Energy Package (CASTEP) code. The exchange- correlation potential was considered by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the scheme of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) using Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudopotential. The plane wave cutoff energy of 600 eV and the 14×14×14 Monkhorst-Pack k-points have been set for calculations. The band structure diagram along the high symmetry points in the first Brillouin zone shows that InPd exhibits metallic character. To obtain the second-order elastic constants (Cij), the ―stress-strain‖ method is used. It is found that InPd is mechanically stable in terms of Born’s criteria. The phonon dispersion plotted in high symmetry directions for 2x2x2 supercell indicates the dynamical stability. The obtained results are in good agreement with the experimental value.

A statistical study on the experimental barrier heights and ideality factors of the diodes was performed. The barrier heights (BHs) and ideality factors of all devices have been calculated from the electrical characteristics. Although the diodes were all identically prepared, there was a diode-to-diode variation: the effective barrier heights ranged from 0.988-0.07 to 1.216-0.07 eV, and the ideality factor from 1.01-0.299 to 2.16-0.299. The obtained results indicate that the barrier heights and ideality factor parameters of Schottky diodes are different from one diode to another, even if they are identically prepared. It is concluded that the higher ideality factors accompany with the lower BHs or vice versa due to inhomogeneities. 226 (02_PP64) Core Excitation in Polymorph of As2S3 and β-phase In2S3 1,2* Lawal Mohammed, 1Ahmad Radzi Mat Isa, 1M.

Relevant performance parameters of RRAM devices include operating voltage, operation speed, bit cell size, endurance, retention time, device yield, and multilevel storage. Numerous resistive switching mechanisms, such as ion immigration, Metal–insulator transition, charge trapping/de-trapping, and thermochemical reaction, have been proposed to explain the resistive switching of RRAM devices. As a case for ion immigration, in Cerium dioxide (CeO2), drift of oxygen vacancies play the dominant role in resistance changes. In this work, along with a summary to the resistive switching mechanisms, we shall examine resistive switching behavior of CeO2 thin film, grown on Pt/Ni/SiO2/Si substrate.

Kalmaz1, E. Orhan1, S. Bilge Ocak1 1 Gazi University, Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Ankara, Turkey sbocak@gazi.edu.tr Al/maleic anhydride (MA)/p-Si metal–polymer–semiconductor (MPS) structures were prepared on p-Si substrate by spin coating. Device parameters of Al/MA/p-Si structure have been determined by means of capacitance–voltage (C–V) and conductance–voltage (G–V) measurements between 700 kHz and 1·5 MHz and current–voltage (I–V) measurements at 300 K. The diode parameters such as ideality factor, series resistance, barrier height and flat band barrier height were calculated from the forward bias I-V characteristics. In order to explain the electrical characteristics of metal/polimer/semiconductor (MPS) with MA interface, the investigation of interface states density and series resistance from capacitancevoltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G-V) characteristics in the MPS structures have been reported. The measurements of C and G were found to be strongly dependent on bias voltage and frequency for Al/MA/p-Si structure. The value of interface state density Dit was calculated. These values of Dit and Rs were responsible for the non-ideal behavior of I-V and C-V characteristics. The I–V, C–V-f and G–V-f characteristics confirm that the parameters like the BH, interface state density (Dit) and series resistance (Rs) of the diode are strongly dependent on the electrical parameters in the MPS structures. 237 (02_PP76) The Effects of Radiation of P3HT:PCBM Based Organic Solar Cells by Using Boric Acid (H3BO3) as Dopant Into PEDOT:PSS Under Gamma Irradiation Özlem Yağci*, Orhan İçelli Yıldız Technical University, Department of Physics, İstanbul, Turkey, ozlmygc@gmail.com In this study we examined effects of radiation in P3HT:PCBM based organic solar cell by using boric acid (H3BO3) as dopant into PEDOT:PSS (Poly(3,4 ethylenedioxy-thiophene) Poly(styrene-sulfonate)) based buffer layer.

Experimental results confirmed that the main electrical parameters are a strong function of frequency and voltage. The voltage dependent profile of Nss and Rs were obtained using low-high frequency and Nicolian and Brews methods, respectively. Rs and Nss, both, decrease with increasing frequency almost as exponentially. Also, the measured capacitance (Cm) and conductance (Gm/ω) values at high frequency were corrected to eliminate of the Rs effect or obtain the real values of them. Experimental results show that the existence of an interfacial layer and Nss at metal/semiconductor interface and Rs play an important role on the electrical characteristics of the structure. The high values of C and G/ω at low frequencies can be attributed to the charges at traps, surface and dipole polarizations, because at low frequencies; both these charges can easily follow the ac signal and polarization processes occur due to their relaxation time.

Intercalation of the TMODA cations into bentonite layers caused a significant increase in the basal spacing values of organobentonites varying in the range of 13.53-20.70 Å that point out the penetration of the surfactant cations into the interlayer space of bentonite. The intercalation of TMODA cations into the smectite layers caused a considerable decrease in the intensities of the bands at 3402 and 1635 cm-1 of sorbed water molecules in parallel with the amount of surfactant. The thermal analysis data showed that the decomposition of surfactant species occurred in the temperature range of 180-500oC and the dehydration amount of adsorbed water gradually decreased with the increasing surfactant amount. The surface areas of organobentonites were found to be much lower than that of raw bentonite and the surface morphology of organobentonites was fluffy. The synthesized orgonomodified clay materials have potential applications in developments of sorbents for removal of organic contaminants from environment, in preparation of polymer nanocomposites, in forthcoming catalysis studies and in other similar industrial applications.

NO2 is mainly produced by power plants, combustion engines and automobiles. Concentration of NO2 as low as 5 ppm is known to paralyze the olfactory system preventing the conscious detection of increasing NO2 levels. As such, the detection of NO2 at low concentration is of vital importance to minimize exposure. For this reason, the need for gas sensors suitable for monitoring and control of NO2 has been raised. In the present study we investigated the NO2 gas sensing properties of HfO2/p-Si Schottky diode with different thickness at room temperature with and without the UV-light irradiation. The gas sensing measurements were done in air and air–NO2 mixture under atmospheric conditions in the concentration range of 5-30 ppm by monitoring changes in the sensor resistance. The effect of thickness was examined on response values and response/recovery time of the metal oxide gas sensor. The maximum response was obtained for the thinner interface layer. For repeated UV illumination, the Schottky contact presented stable and recoverable current response.

It is also already used in medicine and space exploration as well as in the production of industrial chemicals and food products. As it is tasteless, colorless and odorless, it cannot be detected by human beings. It is potentially hazardous due to the high possibility of explosion accidents caused by leakage or by human error. Therefore, hydrogen detection is of great importance during its production, storage and use. We deposited NiO nano-composite films on glass substrates using the SILAR method. The gas sensing properties of nanocrystalline NiO thin films have been worked as a function of measurement temperature and gas concentration from 10 ppm to 40 ppm. The maximum response was found 75 % at 200 C for 40 ppm. The gas sensing property demonstrates that as-prepared nanocrystalline NiO thin films have potential applications in the detection of hydrogen.

The reverse current of the photodiode increases with increasing illumination intensity. Also, the reverse current under a certain illumination is higher than that of the current in dark. This can be an evidence to the good photodiode behavior of the fabricated Au/TiO2/n-Si (MIS) structure. The forward current shows a linear behavior in a wide voltage range in the semi-logarithmic scale, but it deviated from the linearity due to the effect of series resistance of the structure and interfacial TiO 2 insulator layer.

The changes in C and G/ especially in the depletion region due to the production of electronhole pairs under illumination effect and the charges at trap states. Some main electrical parameters of the structure such as; the concentration of donor atoms (ND) depletion layer width (WD ) and barrier height (b) were also obtained from the reverse bias C-2 vs V plots for each illumination intensities.

The quality requirement for efficiency is one of the key factor. Base material is one of the key factor for lower cost without loosing performance. However, the most important issue is the advances in efficiency. On that manner life time is a key factor. In general average life time of a wafer is used for characterisation but two dimensional mapping much useful for checking substrate, coated thin film and junction uniformity. In that research two dimensional fife time measurements are carried out using low current injection conditions. Designed hardware for life time measurement has capability to measure life time down to microsecond range. Due to temperature sensitivity, all of the measurements are carried out in a liquid nitrogen cryostat with a laser pulse with micro second duration. Open voltage has dependence to light intensity level was stable up to 30 min. measurement period, that solar cell efficiency can be measured with high accuracy. Initial life time at first measurement was 0.705 msec and this value decreased to 0.689 msec. Degradation per second found to be 7.98 usec. This clearly shows that the first illumination triggering degradation and this reduction to be continued until stabilization. Time period for stabilization require longer measurement time period. The reason behind degradation need further study on solar cell with its electrical and optical properties.

Karapinar Yüzüncü Yıl University, Van, Turkey, rkarapinar@yyu.edu.tr Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) are materials that change their reflected colour as a function of temperature when illuminated by white light. CLCs contain molecules aligned in layers rotated with respect to one another. In this helical structure the director which shows the average orientation of the molecules is not constant, but it rotates along the helix axis which is perpendicular the director. The rotation angle from one layer to the next increases with temperature, so the distance between layers with the same orientation, called the pitch, decreases with temperature. This helical structure selectively reflects light. Recently, CLCs have much interest because of their optical properties such as selective reflection. These materials have been used in various optical devices such as reflective CLC displays. Thin CLC films have also been used as indicators of temperatures.

The optimization of different spin coating parameters such as spin speed, annealing temperature or time and substrate temperature have been systematically studied by using the solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) doped Pedot:PSS (5 vol%) coated on cleaned soda-lime glass substrate in the 1000-class clean room. The electrical and optical measurements were carried out by four point probe, 3D Profilometer and UV-visible spectrometer. It has been found that DMSO, annealing temperature and time is very important for increase of conductivity in the thin film. The optimum thin films exhibited the lowest resistivity value of 3.4x10−3 Ω cm and the highest optical transmittance value of 96.7%.

Methods:Nine early stage breast cancer patients treatment planning calculated using Monaco 5.1® with eight FF beams for IMRT treatment. All patients were planned simultaneously integrated boost(SIB) technique and all plans were normalized 60Gy dose to the 95% of tumor bed and breast dose was 50Gy. All plans were reoptimized with FFF beams using the same optimization parameters. 6MV FFF beam had got maximum dose rate 1800 MU/minute and 6MV FF beams had got maximum dose rate 600 MU/minute. We compared MUs and total delivery time for both plans. Results:We determined an average MUs difference with FFF beams %12 more than FF beams and an average total delivery time difference with FFF beams %2 more than FF beams for early stage breast cancer patient’s IMRT planning. Conclusion:The results show that IMRT plans with FFF beams are not decreasing total delivery time for early stage breast cancer patients because of large field size however high dose rate. Therefore, we are treating early stage breast cancer patient’s IMRT plan with FF beams in our clinic. 286 (09_PP03) The Study of the Electron Densities of Some Food Products for Different Drying Technics Emine Nuroğlu1, Sezgin Bakırdere2, Orhan İçelli3 1Doctorate student at Yıldız Technical University, İstanbul, Turkey, uzm.emine.korkmaz@gmail.com 2Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Yıldız Technical University, İstanbul, Turkey, bsezgin23@yahoo.com 3Department of Physics, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Yıldız Technical University, İstanbul, Turkey, oicelli@yildiz.edu.tr Goal of this study was to determine the concentration of P, S, Cl, K, Ca and Sr in dried foods using different methods to find the electron densities. The methods applied to samples were ―drying in oven under the magnetic field‖ and ―drying under the sun and the magnetic field‖. Concentrations of elements have been determined by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (EDXRF) soon after initial processing of dry foods. The concentrations of elements have been acquired as mg/kg. Afterwards, electron densities of dry foods have been identified by using ZXCOM software for two different drying techniques and several dry foods purchased from grocery stores. An attempt has been made to establish a correlation between electron density and drying method. This particular attempt is fairly new and there is no information on the correlation. The electron densities of foods dried with the new methods suggested in this study were found to be higher than the food samples taken from marketplace. Neff values of the dried samples and concentrations of calcium and potassium have been compared with drying type, in particular. 287 (09_PP04) Evaluation of Energy Absorption and Exposure Buildup Factors by Using G-P Fitting Approximation for Some Radioprotectors E.

Firstly Planning Target Volume (PTV) and critical organ doses and then the patient QA results are determined in Prostate dual field VMAT plans with most appropriate collimator angle. Dual VMAT plans for 11 prostate patients is prepared with Eclipse 8.9.17 treatment planning system in 180,1-179,9 and 179,9-180,1 gantry angles with ±45° collimator angles. Plans that has same optimized parameters are obtained by re-optimizing in ±15°, ±30°, ±60° and ±75° collimator angles without changing optimization parameters of plans that are prepared with ±45°collimator angles. QA plans for 11 patients are prepared in 5 different collimator angles in PTW OCTAVIUS phantom and PTW 2D-Array evaluation setting and in their own collimator angles and measurements are taken in Varian RapidArc(DHX). Dose fluence maps that are taken from Eclipse treatment planning system with obtained measurements are evaluated with Gamma index method by implementing suppresses 5% of maximum dose. While similar MU values are found in ±15°, ±30°, ±45° collimator angles, higher MU values are found in ±60° and ±75° collimator angles. Maximum dose is obtained in ±45° collimator angle, better results about critic organ doses are obtained with ±30° collimator angle. In addition, better results about homogeneity are obtained in ±30° and ±45° collimator angle. If patient QA results are evaluated by gamma index analysis, better results are obtained in ±15°, ±30°, and ±45 collimator angles in contrast with ±60° and ±75° collimator angles in criterions of all dose differences and distance to agreement. Even similar results are obtained by criterions of all dose differences and distance to agreement in ±15°, ±30°, ±45 collimator angles, best gamma index results are obtained in ±30° collimator angle in this 5 collimator angles. Gamma values are less than 90% for criterion of %3-3 mm in ±60° and ±75° collimator angles. In our work, best results is obtained in Monitor Unit, Homogeneity and Conformity Indexes in PTV, critical organ doses and patient QA analysis by using to the results of ±30°collimator angle for dual field VMAT prostate patients. 289 Collimator Angle Max.

New radiotherapy (RT) plans was done using IMRT technique on computed tomography simulation images which belong to patients having standard RT plans, and both RT plans were compared. Cilinical target volume (CTV) and planning target volume (PTV) as target volume, spinal cord, liver, kidneys, heart as critical organs were defined. RT plan was formed as total dose 50.4 Gy and daily fraction dose 1.8 Gy. When 3DCRT and IMRT techniques were compared according to the 95% of PTV exposed to the dose; there were no statistically difference (p=0.909). When we compare the whole planning techniques according to the percentage of liver and spinal cord volume exposed to 30 Gy and more; IMRT technique was found to be statistically significant (p=0.001). Also, we observed that percentage absorbtion dose volume of all critical organs means decresed as percentage dose in IMRT technique. Abdominal RT may be recommended to protect for critical organs in postoperative gastric cancer patients in IMRT. 291 (09_PP07) Comparison of Dosimetry Gels Prepared by Agar and Bovine Gelatine M. E.

Fricke gel dosimeters can be considered as chemical dosimeters that rely on a radiation-induced chemical reaction. Dose distribution of Fricke solutions containing Fe+2 ions determines the transformation of acidic, oxygen saturated Fe+2 ions to Fe+3 ions by the ionising radiation in aqueous solutions. In this study we produced two different types of gel dosimeters using agar and bovine gelatin with similar fabrication methods. We compared the magnetic resonance (MR) T1 imaging responses of these two gel dosimeters to acquire a dose dependency of MR intensities. In conclusion agar gel dosimeters found to be produced easily and more consistent.

Understanding the structural, mechanical, physical, biological and morphological features of the silks have great importance in their industrial applications and they promote the researchers on the studies of these materials. The main objective of the present study was to investigate in detail the structural and morphological properties of the silken threads produced by Steatoda paykulliana (Walckenaer, 1805) (Araneae: Theridiidae) by using atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and attenuated total reflection Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) techniques. The widths and height of threads secreted by S. paykulliana ranged from 2.40 to 2.98 μm and 1.00 to 1.73 μm, respectively. The silk material was found to consist predominantly C, N and O elements and minor fractions of Si, Na and K. The ATR-FTIR spectrum of the silk of the spider exhibited characteristic vibrational modes originating from amid groups in the protein structure of the silk. Understanding the features of the S. paykulliana silks may be of practical importance for the future studies related to biomaterial and material science.

Ateş1, F. Dağdelen1 1 2 Fırat University, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics, Elazığ, Turkey Gazi University, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics, Ankara, Turkey The NiTi and NiTi based shape memory alloys are used as implant materials in human body. These alloys are functional materials but they need to be developed. NiTi alloy will be harmful for human body by containing Ni element. Since these alloys are used in human body, the active nickel elements in NiTi alloys are passivized with oxidation. In this study, oxidation behavior of NiTi based shape memory alloy was investigated. The thermal oxidation methods were applied by TG/DTA (thermogravimetric/ differential thermal analysis) devices. Transformation temperature of NiTi alloys were determined by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and the alloys which show transformation at body temperature were determined. The determined NiTi based alloys (transformed at body temperature) were oxided at three isothermal temperatures for 800 oC, 900 oC and 1000 oC. The isothermal oxidation parameters were calculated. It was seen that, the amount oxide were increased with the increase of oxidation temperature.

A fraction of them also has an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN), showing excess emission thought to be due to accretion of mass by the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. It is thought that AGNs play a very important role during the formation of galaxies by creating large outflows that stop star formation in the galaxy (see e.g. Kormendy & Ho 2013). The aim is to detect the fraction of Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus (LLAGN) in the nearby Universe. At present, they are typically found using optical spectroscopy (e.g. Kauffmann, Heckman et al. 2003), who discuss the influence of the AGN on the host galaxy and vice versa. However, optical spectra are seriously affected by extinction in these generally very dusty objects, and therefore can only give us partial information about the AGN. I used a newly-found method, and apply it to the S4G sample, a large, complete, sample of nearby galaxies, which I am studying in detail with a large collaboration, to detect the fraction of low luminosity AGNs, and to better understand the relation between AGNs and their host galaxy which is thought to be crucial for their formation. 304 (11_PP05) Colour Relations For Mira and Semiregular (Sr) Type Stars Y.

This effect occurs by using the light source of outdoor lighting in the wrong way. Light pollution can be reduced by lighting only what is actually needed, when and where it is needed. In generaly, SQM (Sky Quality Meter- Clear Sky Detector) is used to measure this light effect. In this work We present night sky brightness measurements performed at the Atatürk University Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATA50) and the surrounding area, Erzurum, TURKEY. 307 POSTER SESSIONS 12_ Other Topics 308 (12_PP01) One-pot Electrochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Lead Oxide-Electroreduced Graphene Oxide (PbO-ERGO) Nanostructures Bingül Kurt Urhan 1, Hülya Öztürk Doğan2, Tuba Öznülüer3, Ümit Demir4 1- Department of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, Nanomaterials Science, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, bingul.kurt@hotmail.com 2-Department of Chemistry and Chemical Processing Technologies, Erzurum Vocational College, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, hdogan@atauni.edu.tr 3-Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, tozkim@atauni.edu.tr 4-Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, udemir@atauni.edu.tr The fabrication of metal oxide thin films presently relies on different methods such as physical or chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel, electrodeposition and chemical bath deposition. The electrochemical process is very simple and convenient for tailoring the size and morphology of the products. In lead oxides, a wide variety of crystalline phases have been identified including α-PbO, β-PbO, Pb3O4, Pb2O3, Pb12O19, α-PbO2, and β-PbO2. There are a number of both theoretical and experimental studies of different forms of lead oxide which show interesting optical and electronic properties that point towards it being a very useful photovoltaic material. Pure PbO has been reported to be the final product of thermal decomposition process of number of different lead compounds .Graphene which is the basic structure of all graphitic forms, has drawn much attention because of its unusual electronic properties and ability to improve catalytic properties. Especially, the hybrid composites, formed by metal or metal oxide with graphene or graphene oxide, have been the most studied research topic in the last few years .In this study, PbO-ERGO thin films have been prepared with a new electrochemical process, based on codeposition from the same solution. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, EDS, XPS and SEM techniques. 309 (12_PP02) The Effect of Synthetic Polyelectrolyte on the Photophysical Properties of Cationic Dye Safranine-T Ebru Bozkurt1, Kadem Meral2 and Yavuz Onganer2 1 Program of Occupational Health and Safety, Erzurum Vocational Training School, Atatürk University, TR-25240 Erzurum, Turkey, ebrubozkurt@atauni.edu.tr 2 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Atatürk University, TR-25240 Erzurum, Turkey, kademm@atauni.edu.tr, yonganer@atauni.edu.tr In This Study, The Photophysical Properties Of A Cationic Dye Safranine-T (ST) Were Examined In Pure Water And Synthetic Polyelectrolyte Polystyrene Sulfonate (PSS) Aqueous Solution By Using UV-Vis Absorption And Steady-State Fluorescence Spectroscopy Techniques. It Was Observed That The Electrostatic Interaction Of ST With PSS Led To Remarkable Changes In The Photophysical Properties Of ST. Importantly, A Hypsochromic Shift Was Observed For Absorption Maximum Of ST In Dilute PSS Aqueous Solution Compared To That In Pure Water. According To The Spectral Data, It Was Determined That The H-Aggregate Structure Of ST In Dilute PSS Aqueous Solution Was Formed. Since The H-Aggregate Structure Of ST Was Nonfluorescence, The Fluorescence Intensity Of ST Was Lower In Low PSS Concentrations Than Those In Higher PSS Concentrations. At High PSS Concentrations, The Absorption Band Of ST Shifted To Red Compared To That In Pure Water. It Was Believed That This Red Shift Was Attributed To The Formation Of JAggregates. Also, This Situation Caused An Increase On Fluorescence Intensity Of ST. Consequently, The Changes In The Absorbance And Fluorescence Properties Of ST As A Function Of PSS Concentration Have A Fairly Important For Material Chemistry. 310 (12_PP03) Electrode Prepared By Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Deposition Technique For PEM Fuel Cell E. Daş1 and A. Bayrakçeken Yurtcan2 1 Department of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, Erzurum, Turkey, das.elif@gmail.com 2 Department of Chemical Engineering, Erzurum, Turkey, ayse.bayrakceken@gmail.com Future energy concerns demand a transition from fossil fuels to energy resources which is more environmental friendly and durable. As an alternative energy source, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have attracted considerable attention as a transport and portable power source for low operation temperature and rapid start-up. Despite considerable progress in PEMFC, catalytic stability and durability still need to be improved. Especially, carbon supported electrocatalysts are important factor to upgrade the performance of PEMFCs. Recently, graphene has extensively been studied in the context of future energy solution because of its unique electronic and mechanical properties and extremely high surface area. This special nanostructure show great promise as new electrode material for PEM fuel cell applications. In this study, firstly graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized from natural graphite powder by the method of Hummers and Offeman. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was obtained with GO reduction by using a reflux system (at 150 ˚C for 6 h) in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. Then Pt nanoparticles on rGO were obtained by using supercritical carbon dioxide deposition (scCO2) technique. Pt organometallic precursor dissolved in scCO2 (at 35˚C and 12 MPa) with different amounts then adsorbed on the synthesized rGO. The precursor was decomposed to its metallic form with the heat treatment at 400˚C for 4 h in nitrogen atmosphere. Adsorption on the rGO was investigated and different Pt loadings were obtained. The rGO and prepared catalysts were characterized by using SEM, EDS, BET, XRD, TEM, TGA and PEM fuel cell performance tests. 311 (12_PP04) Different Reactant Assisted Synthesis of Nano CuO for H2O2 Electrochemical Sensor G.

The effect of sol aging time on the structural and wear properties of composite coatings were investigated by using pinondisc tribotester. Tribological properties of the composite films were significantly influenced with the increment of the aging time. Composite coatings prepared from unaged sol showed the best wear resistance. This may be attributed to their high surface hardness, roughness surface and self-lubricant phase structure. The structure of composite coatings was analyzed by XRD and SEM. It was observed that increment of sol aging time led to increase of grain size. The roughness and wear volume values of TiO2–SiO2 composite films were investigated by 3D profilometer. It was obtained that the roughness and wear volume values increased with the increment of the aging time.

However, it is difficult for tungsten carbide to be fully consolidated because of its high sintering temperature. Therefore, sintering temperature is a significant role in densifying tungsten carbide composite and showing its higher mechanical property. In this study, the role of sintering temperature on physically mechanical properties of tungsten carbides was investigated. Low binder tungsten carbide composites were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. The highest relative density of the tungsten carbide was 99.2% and could be fabricated with simultaneous application of 80 MPa pressure and activated pulsed current within 2 min without significant change in grain size. The average grain size of the tungsten carbide was approximately 1 ㎛. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense tungsten carbide composite produced by SPS were measured by Vickers hardness (Mitutoyo). 334 (12_PP17) The Effects of Aging Time on the Structural and Electrochemical Properties of Sol–Gel Prepared Composite Coatings on CP-Ti O.

In this study, we investigated the numerical methods for determining fatigue strength and spring rate of helical springs made of carbon nanotube/carbon fiber/epoxy composite, in which the material properties were found by using the micromechanics. The results obtained were compared with those of an equivalent steel one. After the dimensions of helical spring were chosen, the helix angle was calculated. With the elastic and shear modulus, using the equation of the spring rate with respect to the shear modulus and design variables, the normalized spring rates were obtained the %0.05 and %0.1 carbon nanotube addition. As a scope of the study, a finite element model for an optimal composite helical spring was developed and then the static spring rates were determined, the results obtained were compared with the analytical results. 347 (12_PP27) Microwave Pyrolysis and Roasting Depending on Dielectric Qualities of Coal Types and Iron Minerals Yıldırım İsmail Tosun Şırnak University, Engineering Faculty, Şırnak, Turkey Iron ores containing ferrous minerals and sulphide minerals are specifically as several times active in microwave. Pyrolysis of the coal usually requires iron minerals for activation step to both absorption microwave from the matrix of the sulphides and conduct the heat to coal for pyrolysis. In this investigation, the copper pyrite and coal pyrite was microwave roasted to oxidize both the sulphides and even the pyrolysis of coal. The effects were investigated by gravimetric and infrared analysis and the microwave absorption characteristics were quantified by determining the permittivities. The microwave heating behaviour studies showed that the sample temperature increased with increasing incident microwave power, processing time and sample mass. Due to the activity of the iron ore to the microwaves, a low incident power of 600W was found to be sufficient for roasting, as higher powers resulted in sintering and melting of the concentrate. The copper pyrite weight loss values after roasting were over 25% and these were similar to those obtained by conventional roasting. The main advantages of microwave roasting were that both the total pyrolysis rates and the heating rates were higher and the specific energy consumptions were lower than in coal pyrite. 348 (12_PP28) The Effects of Fuel Type in Synthesis of NiFe2O4 Nanoparticles by Microwave Assisted Combustion Method Zeynep Karcıoğlu Karakaş1* , Recep Boncukçuoğlu 1 and İbrahim H. Karakaş 2 1 Environmental Engineering Department, Atatürk University, Erzurum 25240, Turkey 2 Chemical Engineering Department, Bayburt University, Erzurum 69000, Turkey kzeynep@atauni.edu.tr In this study, it was investigated the effects of the used fuels on structural, morphological and magnetic properties of nanoparticles in nanoparticle synthesis with microwave assisted combustion method with an important method in quick, simple and low cost at synthesis of the nanoparticles. In this aim, glycine, urea and citric acid were used as fuel, respectively. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area (BET), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. We observed that fuel type is quite effective on magnetic properties and surface properties of the nanoparticles. X-ray difractograms of the obtained nanoparticles were compared with standard powder diffraction cards of NiFe2O4 (JCPDS Card Number 54-0964). The results demonstrated that difractograms are fully compatible with standard reflection peaks. According to the results of the XRD analysis, the highest crystallinity was observed at nanoparticles synthesized with glycine. The results demonstrated that the nanoparticles prepared with urea has the highest surface area. The micrographs of SEM showed that all of the nanoparticles have nano-crystalline behaviour and particles indication cubic shape. VSM analysis demonstrated that the type of fuel used for synthesis is highly effective a parameter on magnetic properties of nanoparticles.

Fuzzy approach is selected due to its important applications for processing uncertainty or subjective information on mathematical models of physical problems. A second-order fuzzy linear boundary value problem is considered in particular due to its important applications in physics. Moreover, numerical experiments are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed numerical method on specific physical problems like heat conduction in an infinite plate with heat generation. 350 Author Index Name Surname Page Numbers Bahattin Abay 175, 179 Bensman Abdelhakim Hayet Si Abdelkader 280 Maryam Abdolahpour Salari 264 Selim Acar 244, 245 Mesut Acur 185 Ö.
