Time Resolved OSL (TR-OSL) is a technique to record the luminescence decay curve data after a brief stimulation pulse and can possibly be used for the separation of luminescence signals from quartz and feldspars. In this study luminescence emission from quartz and feldspar samples was investigated. TR-OSL signals of these samples were studied for the variations with preheating and annealing temperature, stimulation pulse width and total stimulation time, optical bleaching, radiation dose and measurement temperature. TR-OSL decay lifetime of quartz samples was found as ~40 µs. Na-feldspar and K-feldspar luminescence signals were deconvoluted using a linear sum of three exponential decays with lifetimes about 45 µs, 8 µs and 1 µs and about 35 µs, 7 µs and 0.6 µs, respectively. Since feldspars signals have a component with lifetime similar to that of quartz (~40 µs), luminescence signal separation with TR-OSL seems to be not straightforward.

First order and second order phase transitions in quartz and related materials Lider, Mustafa Cem; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Department of Physics (2017) The mechanism of the phase transitions in quartz and in the related materials is investigated. First order and second order transitions are explained on the basis of various models using experimental data from literature. Inparticular, the Landau phenomenological theory is employed in terms of the order parameters and the temperature- pressure (T-P) phase diagram is constructed for those materials of interest. The sym- metry change of crystal structure is also analyzed by using group theory. The thermodynam...
Alpha - beta transition in quartz Lider, Mustafa Cem; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Department of Physics (2011) Alpha-Beta transition in quartz is studied using the Raman scattering. The Raman frequencies of some lattice modes are analyzed at various temperatures close to the alpha beta transition in quartz. For this analysis, the experimental data from the literature is used and the soft mode behavior of those Raman phonons is investigated . On the basis of the predictions of some models, the temperature dependencies for the Raman frequencies of the lattice modes which move towards zero (soft mode) and their bandwid...
Time reconstruction and performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2010-03-01) The resolution and the linearity of time measurements made with the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied with samples of data from test beam electrons, cosmic rays, and beam-produced muons. The resulting time resolution measured by lead tungstate crystals is better than 100 ps for energy deposits larger than 10 GeV. Crystal-to-crystal synchronization with a precision of 500 ps is performed using muons produced with the first LHC beams in 2008.
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Unit Cells of Metal-Only Infinite Arrays Haykır, Yiğit; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2019-09-01) Characteristic mode analysis of metal only unit cells of periodic structures is performed using Method of Moments based formulation. Ewald's transformation is incorporated for a fast and cost efficient solution and the advantages over spatial Green's function are discussed. The influence of the unit cell size on the characteristic modes is demonstrated. Various metal-only reflectarray elements are compared and their radiation characteristics are interpreted using the theory of characteristic modes. It is sh...
Unscented Kalman filter-aided Gaussian sum filter Gokce, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-06-01) A non-linear filter is developed for continuous-time systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time. The filter developed can approximate the a priori and a posteriori probability density function (pdf) with weighted Gaussian sums inside specific search regions. To make the approximations, first, Gaussians are placed with equal intervals inside the search regions and deterministic sample points are chosen within the search regions. The pdf values are then calculated at sample points usi...
