We introduce a mean field model to describe the smectic A-smectic C* (AC*) transition in HDOBAMBC. Our mean field model considers a linear coupling between the spontaneous polarization (P-s) and the tilt angle (theta) in the presence of the electric field coupled to the spontaneous polarization. From our model, we derive the expression for P-s, theta and the critical field E-c as a function of temperature. The temperature dependences of the order parameters (spontaneous polarization P-s and the tilt angle theta) and the critical electric field E-c are analyzed using the experimental data from the literature according to power-law formulae close to the smectic A-smectic C* transition (T-c = 109.7 degrees C) in HDOBAMBC. From our analyses, we obtain the values of beta = 0.24 and phi = 0.42 for the critical exponent of the spontaneous polarization P-s and the tilt angle theta, respectively in HDOBAMBC. We also obtain from our analysis the values of delta = 0.46 and delta = 0.27 for the critical exponent of the critical electric field E-c away from the T-c (AC*) and close to the T-c (AC*), respectively in HDOBAMBC.

Analysis of the Critical Magnetic Field and the Dielectric Susceptibility for the Smectic A-Smectic C* Transition in DOBAMBC Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2015-01-01) The temperature dependences of the critical magnetic field H-c and the dielectric susceptibility x(at constant magnetic fields) are analyzed close to the smectic Asmectic C* transition in DOBAMBC using the experimental data according to a power-law formula. These analyses are performed below T-c in the smectic C* phase. Values of the critical exponent delta for the critical magnetic field are determined in a given temperature interval (Tc-T) with increasing and decreasing H-c. Also, values of the critical e...
Analysis of the dielectric constant, spontaneous polarization and the coersive field close to the phase transitions in ferroelectric K2CoCl4 Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2016-01-01) Temperature dependence of the dielelctric constant epsilon(a) along a axis and the spontaneous polarization P-S is analyzed near the ferroelectric transition (T-C = 182 degrees C) in K2CoCl4. The power-law formula is used for the analysis of the observed data from the literature. Critical exponents we determine from our analysis indicate that K2CoCl4 exhibits a weak first order transition. Coercive field EC is also analyzed using the experimental data which decreases smoothly as the temperature increases to...
CALCULATION OF THE PHASE DIAGRAMS FOR THE FLUID-SOLID AND SOLID-SOLID (delta-delta(loc)-epsilon) TRANSITIONS IN MOLECULAR NITROGEN BY USING MEAN FIELD MODEL Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Romanian Academy - Revue Roumaine De Chimie, 2019-03-01) The temperature-pressure (T-P) phase diagrams are calculated using the mean field models for the solid-fluid (first order) and, the solid-solid transitions of the delta-delta(loc) (second order) and delta(loc)-epsilon (first order) in nitrogen. By expanding the free energy in terms of the order parameters, the phase line equations are derived and they are fitted to the experimental data from the literature for this molecular crystal. For the fitting procedure, the coefficients in the free energy expansion a...
Calculation of the spontaneous polarization for Pb1-xCaxTiO3 close to the tricritical point Tari, O.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2016-01-01) We calculate the spontaneous polarization as a function of temperature for a mixed crystal of Pb1-xCaxTiO3 close to the tricritical pointdx (x = 0.4). This calculation of the spontaneous polarization is performed using the effective field approximation for the dipolar (PbTiO3) and higher order ( quadrupolar and octopolar) interactions for the mixed system of Pb1-xCaxTiO3 at concentrations from x = 0 to x = 0.45.
A mean field model near the NAC point in liquid crystals Enginer, Y.; Salihoǧlu, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2002-10-01) In this study we obtain the phase line equations for the nematic-smectic A (NA), smectic A-smectic C (AC) and nematic-smectic C (NC) transitions using a mean field model. We fit these phase line equations to the experimental phase diagram near the Nenatic-smectic A-smectic C (NAC) point. Our calculated phase diagram agrees well with the experimental.
