Soils with high plasticity can become highly compressible depending on the parameter compression index. Same type of soils can have also heaving potential depending on the expansion index. These type of highly plastic clays can be improved by adding chemical stabilizers such as lime. In this study, soil samples that are extremely highly plastic have been taken from clay deposits of Ankara in Turkey. Hydrated lime has been used as a chemical stabilizer. Firstly, reference tests have been carried out on natural soil samples. Then the clay is mixed with the lime agent at different percentages of dry weight of the soil (1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%) and compressibility characteristics of the improved soil samples have been determined. All of the results are evaluated and the changes in compressibility and expansion characteristics have been interpreted in this paper. Optimum values have been found for both compression and expansion indices.

Effects of anisotropic surface drift diffusion on the strained heteroepitaxial nanoislands subjected to electromigration stressing Oğurtanı, Tarık; Celik, Aytac; ÖREN, ERSİN EMRE (2022-02-01) A systematic study based on self-consistent dynamical simulations is presented for the morphological evolutionary behavior of an isolated thin Ge/Si nanoisland (quantum dot) on a rigid substrate exposed to electromigration forces. This morphological evolution is basically induced by the anisotropic surface drift diffusion, driven by the capillary forces, the lattice mismatch stresses, and the wetting potential. In this study, we have mainly focused on the size and shape development kinetics of quantum dots,...
Effect of inhomogeneous broadening on the fluorescence anisotropy of a square-symmetric molecule Knox, RS; Gulen, D; Lotterhos, KE (2002-07-30) Inhomogeneous broadening has the potential of introducing a new picosecond-range quasi-relaxation rate in an electronically twofold-degenerate system such as a molecule whose symmetry is square (D-4h). The physics of the process is the mutual cancellation of oscillatory contributions whose periods are determined by the random energy splittings. The effect occurs only for quite specific conditions of excitation and line broadening, and may be useful in the interpretation of existing experiments on magnesium ...
Effect of different sparsity priors on compressive photon-sieve spectral imaging Kar, Oguzhan Fatih; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Kamaci, Ulas; Akyon, Fatih Cagatay (2018-05-02) Compressive spectral imaging is a rapidly growing area yielding higher performance novel spectral imagers than conventional ones. Inspired by compressed sensing theory, compressive spectral imagers aim to reconstruct the spectral images from compressive measurements using sparse signal recovery algorithms. In this paper, first, the image formation model and a sparsity-based reconstruction approach are presented for compressive photon-sieve spectral imager. Then the reconstruction performance of the approach...
Investigation of structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of two-dimensional J-aggregates of tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine preferentially oriented in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films Gulen, Demet; Atasoylu, Onur; ÖZÇELİK, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07) The structure-spectroscopy-function relationship of 1,1',1,3,3'-tetraethyl-5,5',6,6'-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) aggregates is studied using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques. The aggregates are macroscopically aligned in poly-vinyl-alcohol thin films by vertical spin coating. Angular dependence of the UV-Vis spectra is measured at eleven different orientations between the electric field polarization and the macroscopic alignment axis. The aggregates are characterized ...
EFFECT OF π-BRIDGES ON ELECTROCHEMICAL AND PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES OF BENZOTHIADIAZOLE AND BENZODITHIOPHENE BASED CONJUGATED POLYMERS Dikbıyık, Dilan Ece; Çırpan, Ali; Hızalan Özsoy, Gönül; Department of Chemistry (2022-1-28) In this study, a series of the Donor -π bridge- Acceptor type conjugated polymers (PT1, PT2, and PT3) were designed and synthesized via Pd-catalyzed Stille polycondensation reactions. Synthesized polymers were used as donor moieties and blended with acceptor unit PC71BM to form the active layer of the bulk heterojunction organic solar cell (BHJ OSC). Polymers contain electron-deficient benzothiadiazole (BT) as acceptor unit and electron-rich benzodithiophene (BDT) as donor unit. Moreover, thiophene [T], sel...
