We describe a quartz crystal microbalance setup that can be operated at low temperatures in ultra high vacuum with gold electrode surfaces acting as substrate surface for helium diffraction measurements. By simultaneous measurement of helium specular reflection intensity from the electrode surface and resonance frequency shift of the crystal during film adsorption, helium diffraction data can be correlated to film thickness. In addition, effects of interfacial viscosity on the helium diffraction pattern could be observed. To this end, first, flat gold films on AT cut quartz crystals were prepared which yield high enough helium specular reflection intensity. Then the crystals were mounted in the helium diffractometer sample holder and driven by means of a frequency modulation driving setup. Different crystal geometries were tested to obtain the best quality factor and preliminary measurements were performed on Kr films on gold surfaces. While the crystal structure and coverage of krypton films as a function of substrate temperature could successfully be determined, no depinning effects could be observed.

Interaction of TATB with Cu and Cu+1. A DFT study Türker, Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2019-2) Symmetric triaminotrinitrobenzene known as TATB decomposes in contact with some heavy metals, such as copper. Presently, TATB and some of its important tautomers are subjected to B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of treatment. Some molecular orbital energies have been obtained and compared. Then, interaction of these species with Cu and Cuþ are investigated. Although TATB has been found to be affected little by either Cu or Cuþ, undergoing only some bond length changes and/or distortions, the resonance-assisted t...
Mathematical modelling of sulfur retention in fluidized bed combustors Altındağ, Hakan; Selçuk, Nevin; Oymak, Olcay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) A considerable number of modeling studies for the investigation of sulfur retention in atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustors have been carried out and well documented in the literature. Despite 30 years of intensive study of sulfation process in fluidized bed combustors and numerous laboratory studies, there are still many uncertainties and disagreements on the subject. In addition, modeling sulfur retention performance of Turkish lignites with high sulfur, volatile matter and ash contents has not d...
Assessment of silicon, glass, FR4, PDMS and PMMA as a chip material for acoustic particle/cell manipulation in microfluidics Açıkgöz, Hande N.; Karaman, Alara; Şahin, M. Akif; Çaylan, Ömer R.; Büke, Göknur C.; Yıldırım, Ender; Eroğlu, İrem C.; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Çetin, Barbaros; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (2023-03-01) In the present study, the capabilities of different chip materials for acoustic particle manipulation have been assessed with the same microfluidic device architecture, under the same actuator and flow conditions. Silicon, glass, epoxy with fiberglass filling (FR4), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are considered as chip materials. The acoustophoretic chips in this study were manufactured with four different fabrication methods: plasma etching, chemical etching, micromachining ...
Mass dispersion in transfer reactions with a stochastic mean-field theory Washiyama, Kouhei; Ayik, Sakir; Lacroix, Denis (2009-09-01) Nucleon transfer in symmetric heavy-ion reactions at energies below the Coulomb barrier is investigated in the framework of a microscopic stochastic mean-field theory. Although mean field alone is known to significantly underpredict the dispersion of the fragment mass distribution, a considerable enhancement of the dispersion is obtained in the stochastic mean-field theory. The variance of the fragment mass distribution deduced from the stochastic theory scales with the number of exchanged nucleons. Therefo...
Metamaterial Absorber Based Multifunctional Sensors Sabah, Cumali (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-01-01) In this paper, several important applications of a metamaterial absorber (MA) based sensors such as temperature, pressure, moisture, and density are presented. Since the sensing ability mostly considers the resonance frequency, the frequency range where the resonance shifts occur linearly or non-linearly depending on the temperature, pressure, moisture, and density changes is selected carefully. The model is composed of X shaped resonators (XSR), dielectric substrate, the sensing layer, dielectric substrate...
