The variational non-equilibrium thermodynamic method is further extended to give full coverage for the tilted grain-boundary (GB) configuration with respect to the sidewalls of a bicrystal thin solid film having strong anisotropic specific surface Gibbs free energy associated with the singular directions (faceting, vicinal planes). A set of critical computer simulation experiments supported by the generalized longitudinal force diagrams is performed on the asymmetrically disposed (inclination) bicrystal thin metallic films having four- and six-fold anisotropic specific surface Gibbs free energy to demonstrate the various GB-groove root topologies caused by the grain-boundary grooving under the surface drift-diffusion driven by the capillarity forces (thermal grooving). In the computer simulations, the strongly anisotropic surface-specific Gibbs free energy associated with the cusp regions is represented by the modified cycloid-curtate function (MCCF) as a basis (generator) for the Dirac delta distribution function on the Wulff construction, which involves not only the Wulff surface roughness (WSR) parameter (anisotropy constant) but also the Wulff surface topography (WST) index (shape parameter) that may be used as a metric for the temperature roughening phenomenon. A special computer run is also designed using the realistic structural and physicochemical properties in order to simulate the thermal groove profiles of cube-textured pure nickel tape {Ni-99.99 wt%} annealed four hours in vacuum at 800 degrees C, and observed by the atomic force microcopy (AFM). The experimental line width fitting procedure applied to the simulation profile subjected to the self-similarity transformation, which resulted in almost perfect replication of the experimental digitized AFM photography has yielded, a mean surface (mass) diffusivity of nickel about 5.7 x 10(-13) m(2)/s (800 degrees C) which is in excellent quantitative agreement with the diffusivity relationship at T >= 1300 K reported in the literature on relatively contaminated surfaces, and obtained by high-precision profilometry measurements of the decay of capillary modes associated with the wide surface scratches.

Near-Infrared Resonant Cavity Enhanced Silicon Microsphere Photodetector Murib, Mohammed Sharif; Yüce, Emre; GÜRLÜ, Oguzhan; SERPENGÜZEL, Ali (2009-05-06) Elastic scattering intensity calculations at 90 degrees and 0 degrees for the transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarized light were performed at 1200nm for a 50 mu m radius and 3.5 refractive index silicon microsphere. The mode spacing between morphology dependent resonances was found to be 1.76 nm. The linewidth of the morphology dependent resonances was observed to be 0.02 nm, which leads to a quality factor on the order of 10(4).
Electrical and photoelectrical properties of Ag-In-Se thin films evaporated by e-beam technique ÇOLAKOĞLU, Tahir; Parlak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2009-02-07) In this study, the electrical and photoelectrical properties of the Ag-In-Se thin films deposited by the e-beam technique have been investigated by carrying out temperature dependent conductivity, photoconductivity under different illumination intensities and photoresponse measurements between 380 and 1050 nm, as a function of annealing temperature. The measured conductivity values of the films at room temperature depending on the annealing temperatures vary in the range 1.9 x 10(-6)-5.2 Omega(-1) cm(-1). A...
Dynamic frictional contact problems involving elastic coatings BALCI, MEHMET NURULLAH; Dağ, Serkan (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) This paper presents a general theory of dynamic frictional contact of elastic coatings pressed against by a rigid punch moving with a constant speed. Governing equations of elastodynamics are solved by applying Galilean and Fourier transformations. The contact problem is then reduced to a singular integral equation, which is solved numerically. Developed procedures are verified through comparisons made to the available computational and analytical results. Parametric analyses illustrate the influences of pu...
Numerical Solution and Stability Analysis of Transient MHD Duct Flow Tezer, Münevver (2018-11-01) This paper simulates the 2D transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the radial basis function (RBF) approximation. The inhomogeneities in the Poisson’s type MHD equations are approximated using the polynomial functions (1+r) and the particular solution is found satisfying both the equations and the boundary conditions (no-slip and insulated walls). The Euler scheme is used for advancing the solution to ste...
Differential charging in SiO2/Si system as determined by XPS Karadas, F; Ertaş, Gülay; Suzer, S (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-01-29) The Si2p binding and the Si-KLL kinetic energy difference between the SiO2 layer and Si substrate is shown to be influenced by application of external voltage bias to the sample holder due to the differential charging as was already reported earlier (Ulgut, B.; Suzer, S. J. Phys. Chem. B 2003, 107, 2939). The cause of this bias induced (physical)-shift is now proven to be mostly due to partial neutralization by the stray electrons within the vacuum system by (i) introducing additional stray electrons via a ...
