Değer, Sinan
In this thesis, we study the subject of geometrical phases in detail by considering its various forms. We focus primarily on the relation between quantum geometrical phases and magnetic monopoles, and study how one can make use of the concepts of geometrical phases to define magnetic monopoles.

Properties of light and heavy baryons in light cone qcd sum rules formalism
Azizi, Kazem; Özpineci, Altuğ; Department of Physics (2009)
In this thesis, we investigate the masses, form factors and magnetic dipole moments of some light octet, decuplet and heavy baryons containing a single heavy quark in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. The magnetic dipole moments can be measured considering radiative transitions within a multiplet or between multiplets. Analyzing the transitions among the baryons and calculating the above mentioned parameters can give us insight into the structure of those baryons. In analyzing the aforementione...
Dynamics of extended objects in general relativity
İlhan, İbrahim Burak; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2009)
In this thesis, multipole expansions of mass, momentum and stress density will be made for a body in Newtonian mechanics. Using these definitions; momentum, angular momentum, center of mass, force and torque are defined for N gravitationally interacting isolated bodies. Equations of motions of such a system are derived. Definitions of momentum, angular momentum, center of mass, force and torque are made in a relativistic theory. Dynamical (gravitational) skeleton is defined and the multipole moments of the ...
Gravitational waves and gravitational memory
Korkmaz, Ali; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2018)
We study the gravitational waves produced by compact binary systems in the linear regime of massless general relativity and calculate the gravitational memory produced by these waves on a detector.
Nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures
Yıldırım, Hasan; Tomak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2006)
The nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures, such as GaAsAl/GaAs alloys, are studied with analytic and numerical methods on the basis of quantum mechanics. Particularly, second and third-order nonlinear optical properties of quantum wells described by the various types of confining potentials are considered within the density matrix formalism. We consider a Pöschl-Teller type potential which has been rarely considered in this area. It has a tunable asymmetry parameter, making it a goo...
Nonautonomous transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations in impulsive/hybrid systems
Kashkynbayev, Ardak; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2016)
The main purpose of this thesis is to study nonautonomous transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations in continuous and discontinuous dynamical systems. Two classes of discontinuity, impulsive differential equations and differential equations with an alternating piecewise constant argument of generalized type, are addressed. Moreover, the Bernoulli equation in impulsive as well as hybrid systems is introduced. For the former one, the corresponding jump equation is chosen so that after Bernoulli transformation ...
