Among all the metallic glass-forming systems, Al-based marginal glass-forming alloys (Al-RE or Al-TM-RE) have been recently received significant attention due to their unusual devitrification behavior. The population of nanocrystals developed in the amorphous matrix can reach up to 1024 m-3 upon crystallization, which cannot be explained by classical nucleation theory. Our previous studies on binary Al90RE10 (RE: Sm, Tb, Y) systems have shown that the topological medium-range order, which is inherited from the liquid state, is effective in the formation of nanocrystals upon devitrification. In this study, we have examined the effects of chemical order on devitrified ternary metallic glass systems. Particularly, Al90Sm5Tb5 and Al90Y5Tb5 ternary metallic glasses were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography (APT), and high energy synchrotron X-Ray diffraction (HEXRD) methods. It was observed that although the total amount of RE is constant, the substitution of Tb with 5% of Y or Sm has changed the devitrification path compared to Al90RE10 (RE: Sm, Tb, Y) binary systems. The traditional fcc-Al nanocrystallization event observed in binary Al-RE metallic glass systems was found to be altered in Al90Sm5Tb5 glassy alloys. Instead, the formation of intermetallic phases with fcc-Al nanocrystals embedded inside is observed in TEM analysis. This behavior is also supported by DSC results, where a sharp exothermic transformation peak with a significant enthalpy change replaced the traditional low intensity and broad fcc-Al nanocrystallization peak. This work has been supported by AFOSR under contract number FA9550-20-1-0261.

Impact of Occupant Behaviour on Energy Consumption in Buildings Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira(2016-12-31) Yapılı çevrede enerji korunumu çalışmaları genel olarak bina kabuğu ve sistem teknolojileri konularında sürdürülmekte olup kullanıcın yapı enerji performansına etkisi az sayıda çalışmalarda incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada kullanıcı davranışının enerji kullanımına etkisini özellikle ısıtma döneminde kullanıcının ısıl konfor koşullarına müdahalesi açısından incelemek ve seçilecek çalışma alanında gerekli verileri toplamak amaçlanmaktadır. Toplanacak olan bu veriler gerçek enerji tüketim karakteri ve ...
The electronic band structure of Gan, GaAs and InxGa1-xAs1-yNy alloys Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2007-10-10) The electronic band structure of GaN and GaAs has been investigated by ETB to obtain the band gap bowing of InxGa1-xAs1-yNy alloys lattice matched to GaAs. The ETB method has been formulated for sp(3)d(2) basis and nearest neighbor interactions of the compounds, and its energy parameters have been derived from the results of the present first principles calculations carried out on GaN and GaAs. It has been found that the present ETB energy parameters are capable of producing the electronic band structure of...
The effects of fourth generation on the total branching ratio and the lepton polarization in Lambda(b)->Lambda l(+) l(-) decay Bashiry, Vali; Azizi, Kazem (2007-07-01) This study investigates the influence of the fourth generation quarks on the total branching ratio and the single lepton polarizations in Lambda(b) -> Lambda l(+)l(-) decay. Taking vertical bar Vt ' sVt ' b vertical bar similar to {0.01-0.03} with phase just below 90 degrees, which is consistent with the b -> sl(+)l(-) rate and the B-s mixing parameter Delta(mBs), we obtain that the total branching ratio and the single lepton (mu,tau) polarizations are quite sensitive to the existence of fourth generation. ...
The electronic band structure of AlN, AlSb, AlAs and their ternary alloys with In Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-09-10) The electronic band structure of AlN, AlSb, AlAs and their ternary alloys with In has been investigated by ETB. The ETB method has been formulated for sp(3)d(2) basis and nearest neighbor interactions of the compounds and its energy parameters have been derived from the results of the present first principles calculations carried on AlN, AjSb and AlAs. It has been found that the present ETB energy parameters can produce the band structure of the compounds and their ternary alloys with In successfully.
The Effect of Experimental Conditions on Methane (95%)-Propane (5%) Hydrate Formation Longinos, Sotirios Nik; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (MDPI AG, 2020-12-01) In the present study, the effect of different kinds of impellers with different baffles or no baffle was investigated. Up-pumping pitched blade turbine (PBTU) and Rushton turbine (RT) were the two types of impellers tested. The reactor was equipped with different designs of baffles: full, half and surface baffles or no baffles. Single (PBTU or RT) and dual (PBTU/PBTU or RT/RT) use of impellers with full (FB), half (HB), surface (SB) and no baffle (NB) combinations formed two sets of 16 experiments. There wa...
