In this thesis,the physical properties of solid nitrogen are investigated in a wide range of temperature and pressure by analyzing experimental data from the literature.For this investigation, various models are implemented to the experimental data in order to evaluate observed behavior of thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of solid nitrogen. By means of the calculating Grüneisen parameter which depends on the volume, the pressure and temperature dependence of the Raman and IR frequencies are estimated for the internal(vibrons) and external modes (lattice) of solid nitrogen. Especially, the mean field theory based on Landau phenomenological model is used to calculate P-T phase diagram of solid nitrogen. Also by using this model, we estimate the inverse susceptibility, the entropy, the heat capacity and the thermal expansion as a function of temperature close to the phase transition. Regarding to evaluation of the thermodynamic properties, we also predict temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions from frequency shift and volume data which are obtained from literature and we use the Pippard relations to establish linearity for thermodynamic and spectroscopic quantities. As another calculation, we calculated the frequency shift and damping constant (FWHM) as a function of pressure via the anharmonic self energy. According to the evaluation of spectroscopic properties (frequency shift, damping constant) , we also use the pseudospin-phonon coupling (PS) and the energyfluctuation (EF) models to obtain the damping constant as a function of temperature at constant pressures. The inverse relaxation time and the activation energy as a function of temperature are also calculated close to the phase transition. In addition to these calculations, we analyze the thermodynamic and dielectric properties at various pressures and temperatures by using the Raman frequencies of cubic gauche solid nitrogen. All these calculations indicate that the methods used for analysis can also be applied to some other molecular solids close to phase transitions.

Thermoluminescence properties of Al doped ZnO nanoparticles
IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-15)
ZnO nanoparticles doped with aluminum (AZO nanoparticles) were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) and structural characterization experiments. TL experiments were performed on AZO nanoparticles in the temperature range of 10-300 K. TL curve presented one intensive peak around 123 K and two overlapped peaks to intensive peak around 85 and 150 K for heating rate of 0.1 K/s. Curve fitting and initial rise methods were used to find the activation energies of associated trapping centers. ...
Calculation of the damping constant and the order parameter for the lattice mode in ferroelectric PbTiO3
Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2013-07-25)
The temperature dependences of the damping constant and the order parameter are calculated for the lattice mode of E (1TO) in PbTiO3 using the experimental data by the pseudospin- phonon coupled model and the enrgy fluctuation model. Calculation of the damping constant of soft mode is performed in the temperature range of 400- 490 degrees C close to the ferroelectric- paraelectric transition (T-C= 493 degrees C) in PbTiO3. By relating the frequency to the order parameter, the temperature dependence of the R...
Temperature Dependence of the Raman Frequency, Damping Constant and the Activation Energy of a Soft-Optic Mode in Ferroelectric Barium Titanate
Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2012-01-01)
The Raman frequency of a soft-optic mode associated with the order parameter is calculated as a function of temperature from the mean field theory for barium titanate (T-C = 222K). Using the Raman frequencies calculated, the damping constant is evaluated and it is compared with the observed one for this soft-optic mode.
Thermo-oxidative characterization and kinetics of tar sands
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01)
In this research, non-isothermal kinetics and thermal analysis of Gercus tar sand sample is studied by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) and TG/DTG (thermogravimetry). Experiments were performed using three different mesh size (20-35, 35-50 and >50) of sample. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) curves revealed three reaction regions in the temperature range of 20-600 degrees C. On the other hand, thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) curves of tar sand samples at different particle sizes demonstrated three s...
Critical behaviour of ammonia near the melting point
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2002-08-01)
This study gives our calculations for thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal cornpressibility k(T), thermal expansivity alphap and the specific heat C-P, as a function of temperature for solid ammonia near the melting point. Our calculations, which have been performed on the basis of an experimental study given in the literature, show that those thermodynamic quantities diver e near the melting point in ammonia. This is an indication that ammonia exhibits a critical transition as one approaches th...
