Smectic A - Smectic C* transition in the ferroelectric liquid crystal (C7) is studied as a function of the electric field and the temperature. By expanding the free energy in terms of the tilt angle theta (Smectic C* phase) and the polarization P with a linear coupling between theta and P (P theta) in mean field theory, the tilt angle is calculated as a function of the electric field (theta versus E) at constant temperatures with respect to the transition temperature for C7 using the observed data from the literature. Also, by extracting the tilt angle from the observed electric displacements at various temperatures (at constant field strength) the inverse tilt angle susceptibility (chi(-1)(theta)), derived from the free energy, is fitted to the observed data for the dielectric constant and the fitted parameters are determined. Our calculated theta and chi(theta). show that the mean field theory explains adequately the observed behavior of the Smectic A - Smectic C* transition in the liquid crystals C7.

Calculation of the infrared frequency and the damping constant (full width at half maximum) for metal organic frameworks Kurt, M.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Kurt, Aygül; Aksoy, S. (IOP Publishing, 2019-06-01) The rho(NH2) infrared (IR) frequencies and the corresponding full width at half maximum (FWHM) values for (CH3)(2)(NH2FeMII)-M-III(HCOO)(6) (DMFeM, M = Ni, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mg) are analyzed at various temperatures by using the experimental data from the literature. For the analysis of the IR frequencies of the rho(NH2) mode which is associated with the structural phase transitions in those metal structures, the temperature dependence of the mode frequency is assumed as an order parameter and the IR frequenci...
Calculation of the Raman frequencies of lattice modes in the disordered phase II of NH4Br at high pressures Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Physics Essays Publication, 2010-01-01) The Raman frequencies are calculated here at various temperatures for the nu(7) (56 cm(-1)) and nu(5) (134 cm(-1)) lattice modes in the disordered phase II of NH4Br. The lattice parameter data obtained at zero pressure are used to calculate the Raman frequencies of those modes studied for constant pressures of 0.1, 108, and 637.5 MPa in phase II of the NH4Br crystal. Through the mode Gruumlneisen parameter which is kept constant in the disordered phase II, the Raman frequencies calculated decrease linearly ...
Tuning Optical Absorption Edge by Composition and Temperature in TlGaS2xSe2((1-x)) Layered Mixed Crystals (0 <= x <= 1) Hasanlı, Nızamı (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012-10-01) Optical properties of TlGaS2xSe2((1-x)) mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) have been studied using the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined through the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps increase with increase of sulfur atoms content in TlGaS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals. From the transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K, the rates of change of the i...
Analysis of the orientational order parameter and the magnetic field as functions of temperature for p-anisaldazine Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Korean Physical Society, 2016-06-01) We analyze in this study the orientational order parameter and the magnetic field as functions of temperature close to the nematic-isotropic liquid (NI) transition in anisaldazine. The experimental data from the literature are analyzed by using a power-law formula for both the orientational order parameter and the magnetic field, and the critical exponents are deduced. In particular, the mean field value of beta = 0.5 for the critical exponent of the orientational order parameter is used, and the power-law ...
Measurement of the B-+/- Meson Nuclear Modification Factor in Pb-Pb Collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-10-01) The differential production cross sections of B-+/- mesons are measured via the exclusive decay channels B-+/- -> J/psi K-+/- -> mu(+)mu K--(+/-) as a function of transverse momentum in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with the CMS detector at the LHC. The pp(Pb - Pb) data set used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 28.0 pb(-1) (351 mu b(-1)). The measurement is performed in the B-+/- meson transverse momentum range of 7 to 5...
