A generalized Rayleigh-Ritz (RR) method combined with the Galerkin (RRG) functional space approximation is elaborated by using the extended and modified Laguerre functions manifold for the weak solution of the asymmetric grain-boundary thermal grooving problem with the Dirichlet boundary. This new hybrid RRG approach, which resembles the front-tracking method, reveals the fine features of the grain boundary groove-root topography (rough or faceted regions) more accurately than the previous approach under the severe nonanalyticity of the surface stiffness anisotropy, and showing almost excellent in accord with the experimental observations made by atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. The large deviations from Mullins' t(1/4) scaling law combined with the self-trapping (quasifaceting) are observed especially at low values of the normalized longitudinal mobilities, where the kinetics rather than the energetic considerations are found to be the dominating factor for the whole topographic appearances. For very high longitudinal mobilities, the smooth and symmetric groove profiles (no faceting) are found to be represented by the Mullins' function for the fourfold symmetry in the stationary state with great precision, if one modifies the rate parameter by the anisotropy constant and simultaneously utilizes the anisotropic complementary dihedral angle in the calculation of the slope parameter. A recently developed analytical theory fully supports this observation rigorously, and furnishes the quantitative determination of the threshold level of the anisotropy constant for the ridge formation, and as well as the penetration depth evaluation.

Density functional theory investigation of two-dimensional dipolar fermions in a harmonic trap Toffoli, Hande; TANATAR, BİLAL (2014-08-13) We investigate the behavior of polarized dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) formalism using the local density approximation. We treat only a few particles interacting moderately. Important results were deduced concerning key characteristics of the system such as total energy and particle density. Our results indicate that, at variance with Coulombic systems, the exchangecorrelation component was found to provide a large contribution to...
Density functional theory (DFT) study of BaScO3H0.5 compound and its hydrogen storage properties Gencer, Ayşenur; Surucu, Gokhan (Canadian Science Publishing, 2019-11-01) BaScO3 and its hydride BaScO3H0.5 have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). BaScO3 perovskite can crystallize in five possible crystal structures: orthorhombic (Pnma), tetragonal (P4mm), rhombohedral (R-3c), hexagonal (P63/mmc), and cubic (Pm-3m). These five possible phases have been optimized to obtain the most stable phase of BaScO3. The orthorhombic phase, being the most stable and having the lowest volume among the studied phases, has...
Approximate solution to the time-dependent Kratzer plus screened Coulomb potential in the Feinberg-Horodecki equation Farout, Mahmoud; Sever, Ramazan; Ikhdair, Sameer M. (IOP Publishing, 2020-06-01) We obtain the quantized momentum eigenvalues P-n together with space-like coherent eigenstates for the space-like counterpart of the Schrodinger equation, the Feinberg-Horodecki equation, with a combined Kratzer potential plus screened coulomb potential which is constructed by temporal counterpart of the spatial form of these potentials. The present work is illustrated with two special cases of the general form: the time-dependent modified Kratzer potential and the time-dependent screened Coulomb potential.
Energy distribution of the universe in the Bianchi type II cosmological models Aydogdu, O (Wiley, 2006-04-01) Using the energy-momentum complexes of Tolman, Papapetrou and Weinberg, the total energy of the universe in Locally Rotationally Symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type II models is calculated. The total energy is found to be zero due to the matter plus field. This result supports the viewpoint of Tryon, Rosen and Albrow. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
Analytical Solutions to the Klein-Gordon Equation with Position-Dependent Mass for q-Parameter Poschl-Teller Potential Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan; TEZCAN, CEVDET (IOP Publishing, 2010-01-01) The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation with q-parameter Poschl-Teller potential are analytically obtained within the position-dependent mass formalism. The parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations by choosing a mass distribution.
