In this study, the structural, electronic, mechanical, lattice dynamical and thermodynamic characteristics of ( 1, 2 and 3) phase compounds were investigated using the first principle calculations. These ternary nitride compounds were found to be stable and synthesisable, and the results on the stability nature of them were also evaluated for the possible and phases. -was found to be the most stable one among these new class of layered phases for which limited works are available in the literature. The band structures, that are essential for the electronic properties, were determined along with the partial density of states (PDOS) indicating the metallic behaviour of these compounds. The polycrystalline elastic moduli were calculated based on the single-crystal elastic constants and the mechanical stabilities were verified. Some basic physical parameters, such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, Debye temperature, and sound velocities, were also predicted. Furthermore, the anisotropic elastic properties were visualised in three dimensions (3D) for Young's modulus, linear compressibility, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio as well as with the calculation of the anisotropic factors. - phase showed the most isotropic characteristics with minimum deviations. These theoretical values were also used to identify the stiffness and ionic characteristics. The phonon dispersion curves and corresponding PDOS indicated that compounds were dynamically stable. Moreover, thermodynamic properties obtained from phonon dispersion curves were investigated in detail.

Short-range correlations in a one-dimensional electron gas Tas, M; Tomak, Mehmet (American Physical Society (APS), 2003-06-15) We use the Singwi-Sjolander-Tosi-Land (SSTL) approximation to investigate the short-range correlations in a one-dimensional electron gas. We find out that the SSTL approximation satisfies the compressibility sum rule somewhat better than the more widely used Singwi-Tosi-Land-Sjolander approximation in the case of a one-dimensional electron gas.
Optoelectronic properties of Tl3InSe4 single crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The crystal structure, temperature-dependent electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, current-voltage characteristics, absorption spectra and temperature- and illumination-dependent photoconductivity of Tl3InSe4 single crystals were investigated. Tl3InSe4 crystallises in a body-centred lattice with tetragonal symmetry and belongs to the space group [image omitted]. The crystals are extrinsic p-type semiconductors and exhibit a conductivity conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature, Tc, of 283...
Study of trapping and recombination centres in Tl2InGaTe4 chain crystals by dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity measurements QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) Dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals have been measured and analyzed in the temperature region 100-300 K. The dark electrical conductivity measurements revealed an intrinsic- or extrinsic-type of conductivity above or below 210 K, respectively. From intrinsic conductivity data analysis, the energy band gap of Tl2InGaTe4 crystals was determined as 0.85 eV. In the extrinsic region, the dark conductivity arises from a donor energy level located at 0.30 eV below the c...
Calculation of the free energies for the solid phases of ammonium halides Salihoglu, S.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Karacali, H. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) Using mean field theory, we calculate the free energies of the solid phases of ammonium halides. The temperature and pressure dependences of the free energies are obtained using experimental phase diagrams of the ammonium halides. From these dependences, we calculate numerically the specific heat as a function of temperature for the solid I-liquid, solid II-liquid and solid I-solid II transitions in the ammonium halides, in particular for NH4Cl. The critical behaviour of some other thermodynamic quantities ...
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...
