Propagation of short and intense laser beams in the atmosphere is considered for the purpose of identifying the temporal compression. The conditions and validity of linear and nonlinear compression theories are discussed. The effects of chirping and pulse power in the preionization regime are deliberated. The fact that the linear theory cannot explain the pulse compression in the atmosphere is presented.

Remote ionization by a short pulse laser beam propagating in the atmosphere Yedierler, Burak (AIP Publishing, 2008-07-01) Self-focusing of high power, short laser pulses is considered for the purpose of identifying physical parameters that allow a remotely controllable ionization in the atmosphere. The propagation equation including diffraction, group velocity dispersion, Kerr nonlinearity and bound electrons effects is derived. A Lagrange density describing the propagation equation depending on a general pulse amplitude is presented for a propagation regime in the absence of ionization and plasma defocusing. Lagrange equation...
Experimental study on the velocity limits of magnetized rotating plasmas Teodorescu, C.; Clary, R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Lunsford, R.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Young, W. C. (AIP Publishing, 2008-04-01) An experimental study on the physical limits of the rotation velocity of magnetized plasmas is presented. Experiments are performed in the Maryland Centrifugal Experiment (MCX) [R. F. Ellis , Phys. Plasmas 12, 055704 (2005)], a mirror magnetic field plasma rotating azimuthally. The externally applied parameters that control the plasma characteristics-applied voltage, external magnetic field, and fill pressure-are scanned across the entire available range of values. It is found that the plasma rotation veloc...
Numerical evidence of spontaneous division of dissipative solitons in a planar gas discharge-semiconductor system Rafatov, İsmail (AIP Publishing, 2019-09-01) This work deals with the formation of patterns of spatially localized solitary objects in a planar semiconductor gas-discharge system with a high Ohmic electrode. These objects, known as dissipative solitons, are generated in this system in the form of self-organized current filaments, which develop from the homogeneous stationary state by the Turing bifurcation. The numerical model reveals, for the first time, evidence of spontaneous division of the current filaments in this system, similar to that observe...
Defect luminescence in undoped p-type GaSe Aydinli, A; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Goksen, K (Informa UK Limited, 2001-12-01) Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of undoped single crystals of the layered semiconductor GaSe have been measured in the temperature range from 10 K to room temperature and in the wavelength range from 635 to 750 nm. Two wide bands centred at 644 and 695 nm have been observed at T=10 K. A detailed analysis of the spectra obtained by varying the excitation intensity and temperature resulted in the identification of the levels involved. A simple model is proposed to account for the observed data.
Mathematical expression of the temperature profile and experimental determination of compression heating of ethylene glycol during high hydrostatic pressure processing Buzrul, S.; Alpas, Hami; Largeteau, A.; Demazeau, G. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-03-01) In this study, we aimed to describe the temperature profile in the pressure vessel and the compression heating during high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing. Regression coefficients (R-2), root mean square error (RMSE) values and residual plots suggested that fourth-order polynomial function produced reasonable fits to define the temperature profile for all the pressures studied (300-600 MPa). If all the coefficients of this empirical model are determined, initial and final temperatures, a value close t...
