Several phenomenological studies were carried out to investigate the phase transition mechanisms of some ferroelectric crystals. In particular, we focused on the compressible Ising model to explain the anomalous behavior of specific heat for such ferroelectrics exhibiting second-order phase transitions in the vicinity of the transition temperatures. The temperature dependence of some thermodynamic functions such as internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of some ferroelectric materials was also predicted. The thermodynamic quantities of ferroelectrics are obtained by calculating the order parameters using the experimental data from the literature. The calculated results are then interpreted with the ones stated in previous experimental studies.

Temperature dependence of the Raman frequencies and bandwidths close to phase transitions in ammonium halides Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2001-09-01) In this study, we give the temperature dependence of our observed frequencies and bandwidths for the Raman optical modes in the ammonium halides close to the phase transitions of the first order (NH4 Br), tricritical (NH4Cl) and second order (NH4Cl). Using the predictions of an [sing pseudospin-phonon coupled model, which considers interactions between two spin and two phonons, our observed Raman data have been interpreted qualitatively. Our results show that an Ising model considered here can explain the o...
Effect of solvent choice on cellulose acetate membrane fabrication by phase inversion and deacetylation by alkaline hydrolysis Tekin, Fatma Seden; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-8) In this study, the effect of solvent choice on cellulose acetate (CA) membrane morphology and performance was investigated to relate this to the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase inversion. Three different solvent systems were used, which are dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the mixture of DMSO: acetone (DA) and DMSO: acetic acid (DHAc) in the ratio of 1:1. Water was used as non-solvent. Acetone and acetic acid were chosen due to their similar solvent quality for cellulose acetate based on Hansen solubility pa...
Investigation of the incommensurate (INC) phase between α and β phases in quartz and related materials Ateş, Simge; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Department of Physics (2021-2-10) Incommensurate (INC) phase as an intermediate sinusoidal phase which exists in anarrow temperature range (∼1.3◦C) between the low-temperatureαand the high-temperatureβphases in quartz, is investigated extensively. The phase transitions oftheα-INC and INC-βoccurring as first order and second order type, respectively,are studied using the experimental data from the literature. Order-disorder transi-tion between theαandβquartz through the incommensurate phase is described bytemperature and pressure dependen...
Investigation of the dynamic properties of ferroelectric crystals close to phase transitions Kiracı, Ali; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2015) In this thesis we investigated the dynamical properties of some ferroelectric crystals and ceramics under various temperature and pressure conditions close to the phase transitions. In particular, we focused on the Raman frequencies, damping constant and the activation energy of soft modes with the pseudospin-phonon coupling in some ferroelectric crystals exhibiting phase transitions. We predicted the critical behavior of the frequency related to the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) in the ferroel...
Processing and characterization of high density tungsten-nickel-iron alloys Çalışkan, Necmettin Kaan; Bor, Şakir; Durlu, Nuri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) In the present study, processing of W-Ni-Fe alloys by liquid phase sintering technique has been investigated. Effect of sintering atmospheres (hydrogen and vacuum), tungsten content altering from 90 to 97 wt.%, Ni/Fe ratio varied from 2 to 4 and post sintering treatments (heat treatment and swaging) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys have been analyzed. Liquid phase sintered alloys were characterized by mechanical tests, electron microscopy and XRD studies, thermal analyses an...
