ÇEMAŞ CASTING INDUSTRY

Kaan Özkan

Çemaş Döküm Sanayi A.Ş., Kırşehir/Türkiye

Abstract: Being a global supplier to world's biggest automotive giants is not easy. Maintaining it for 42 years in a highly advancing technology environment is even harder. It not only requires following up, implementing latest technologies and using advanced materials, but also to take part in technological developments. Çemaş, a global player in casting industry was founded in 1976. We are a part of Turkish Işıklar group and quoted in Istanbul Stock Exchange. Our factory in Kırşehir is on a land of 120,000 m2 with around 500 employees. Unlike any other casting company in Turkey, Çemaş makes a unique production of grinding balls for cement industry. We are the only producer of these in Turkey. We also produce casted and fully finished parts of world's automotive giants for both their factories in Turkey and abroad. Our export business, which is now more than half of our sales, include durable good factories as well as trucks, tractors, trains, cranes, machinery, reductors and marine. Our business development department handles several research projects in line with our customer's needs. We are proud to be working together with Ahi Evran University's academicians in some of these projects and hope to increase them further to serve Turkish economy.

First-principle calculations of lattice dynamics and neutron scattering cross-sections: theory and applications to nuclear materials

Abdallah Qteish

Physics Department, Yarmouk University, Irbid – Jordan

Abstract: Vibrational properties are basic ingredients required to study various properties of solids materials, such as thermal properties (thermal expansion, heat capacity, … etc), thermal and electrical conductivities, superconductivity, phase transitions under pressures and temperatures, and others. In this talk I will represent first a panoramic view of lattice dynamics, focusing on the key developments in both the experimental and theoretical (computational) techniques. Then, I will briefly introduce the state-of-art computational methods currently used to calculate the lattice dynamics properties of crystalline solids, namely first-principle calculations based on density functional theory using both the direct and linear response approaches. Finally, as an application, I will focus on the neutron scattering properties of some important nuclear materials, namely MgO, BeO, MgF2, BeF2 and UN. After a brief description of the basic theory of thermal neutron scattering in crystalline solids, I will represent our calculated results for inelastic, elastic and absorption cross-sections of the above materials. These properties will be used investigate the neutron filter efficiency of MgO, BeO, MgF2 and BeF2, and the usage of UN (namely U15N) as a fuel in the next generation of nuclear reactors.

The effect of Spin-orbit interaction on the superconducting properties of the cubic Laves CaIr2 and CaRh2: First-principles approach

Hüseyin M. Tütüncüa,b

a Sakarya Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Fizik Bölümü, 54187 Sakarya/Türkiye bSakarya Üniversitesi, BİMAYAM(Biyomedikal, Manyetik ve Yariletken Malzemeler Araştırma Merkezi), 54187 Sakarya/Türkiye

Abstract: We have studied the structural, electronic, vibrational, and electron-phonon interaction properties of the cubic Laves-phase compounds CaIr2 and CaRh2. Even though the spin-orbit interaction(SOI) does not significantly changes in structural parameters, it lifts the degeneracies of some bands near the Fermi level, yet with a much smaller amount for CaRh2. The effect of SOI on the lattice dynamical properties of both materials is considerable, and makes low- frequency phonon branches harder, and the electron-phonon coupling parameter (휆) is lowered from 1.43 to 1.05 for CaIr2 and from 1.17 to 0.96 for CaRh2. On the other hand, the logarithmically averaged phonon frequency 휔푙푛 is enhanced from 79.60 to 100.97 K for CaIr2 and from 120.20 to 140.80 K for CaRh2 with the inclusion of SOI. With the help of the calculated values of 휆 and 휔푙푛, the superconducting critical temperatures (Tc) are determined to be 5.94 K (7.34 K without SOI) for CaIr2 and 6.97 K (9.08 K without SOI) for CaRh2. The superconducting critical-temperature values with SOI coincide very well with corresponding experimental values of 5.80 and 6.40 K. These results indicate that SOI is quite important for the physical properties of both materials.

Abstract: Phase diagrams are visual representations of the stable of a material as function of temperature, pressure and concentration of the components and they are described as roadmaps for materials development. In recent years, the development of phase diagram calculations for multicomponent system using the calphad approach has proved to be very important in resolving industrial problems. This development is due to the progress in the description of the thermodynamic behaviour of solution phases and to advances in computer software. The calculation of phase diagrams (CALPHAD) method describes the Gibbs energy of each phase as function of composition, temperature and if needed pressure and is used to calculate equilibrium phases by the minimizing the Gibbs energy of the system:

퐺 = ∑ 퐺휑 = 푚푖푛푖푚푢푚

The parameters of these functions are obtained from experimental data. Density functional theory (DFT) based on resolving the Schrodinger equation can be used to predict some of these data when the experimental methods cannot be conducted. The Calphad method is implanted in a number of software tools and can used to obtain thermodynamic and physical property databases and extrapolate them to the higer order systems. The goal of this work is to show with some examples in the metallurgical field how the coupling between thermodynamics, phase diagrams and density functional theory data allowed a number of applications to be undertaken and constructed progress in the design of new materials and the development of new process.

Abstract: Thermodynamic modeling of the Sr-X (X=Ge, Si, Pb, Sn) systems was carried out via a hybrid approach of CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) and ab-initio calculations. The enthalpies of formation of the compounds in these systems are computed via ab-initio calculations by using the VASP code. The CALPHAD assessment of the four systems was then performed by considering both the ab-initio computed enthalpies of formation and the experimental phase equilibrium data. The liquid phase was modeled with Redlich-Kister polynomial and the intermetallics compounds were described as stoichiometric compounds. A consistent thermodynamic data set and phase diagrams for the Sr-X (X=Ge, Si, Pb, Sn) system are obtained.

Abstract: We have investigated the convergence pattern of total energy of Zn and Zn2 using correlation consistent cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q, 5) basis sets where X is maximum angular momentum number in basis set. All calculations are carried out with MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) methods. Since CCSD (T) is accepted as the gold standard method in electronic structure theory calculations we have used the results of this method as benchmark to compare the results obtained with MP2 and CCSD. Two point extrapolations to complete basis set (CBS) limit were applied to speed up convergence and decrease the basis set incompleteness error (BSIE). It has been shown that CCSD method is suitable to obtain the desired accuracy which will reduce time significantly by eliminating the use of computationally demanding CCSD(T).

Abstract: Transparent conducting electrodes are widely used in optoelectronic devices such as LCD panels, OLED’s, Solar Cells, touch screens. For these applications, the electrodes should be highly transparent to visible light with a high conductivity. Indium Thin Oxide (ITO) is generally used materials with the >90% transmittance at 550 nm and a resistivity of 10 Ω/□ on glass. But, there are some drawbacks of ITO for use in the upcoming generation of lower cost, flexible, solution-processed electronics; namely, ITO has poor mechanical flexibility, needs vacuum based processes, and includes indium, which is expensive and in limited supply. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are the powerful candidate for transparent conducting electrodes, which enables largescale, rapid, and inexpensive solution-processed devices, as well as flexible electronics. In this work, AgNWs have been deposited onto flexible PET substrates as a film by using vacuum filtration method. Then, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), transmission and the electrical measurements have been carried out to determine the physical properties of the films. Flexible transparent conducting films with AgNWs have been achieved with >90% transmittance and 60 Ω/□ resistivity.

Abstract: The structural, elastic, electronic, lattice dynamical and thermodynamical properties of the CuCr2Se4 spinel studied under first principles density functional theory (DFT) using the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange–correlation functional implemented in VASP package. We have also calculated sound velocities and Debye temperatures. The vibrational properties of above compound are calculated using the phonon software with the forces calculated with the VASP. The phonon dispersion relations show that there is no band gap which makes the studied material electrically conductive. However, from it has been observed that CuCr2Se4 spinel is mechanically stable due to the fact that it obeys the well known mechanical stability criteria.

Abstract By applying first principle calculations within the density functional theory (DFT), the structural and electronic properties of Full Heusler Pd2CuGa in the cubic form with the space group of Fm-3m (#225) have been investigated within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The atomic structure in the material is fully relaxed and the optimized lattice constant (a0), bulk modulus (B) and the elastic constants (Cij) are obtained and evaluated. The electronic structure is also computed and compared in detail with available data. The electronic structure of Pd2CuGa shows no band gap at the Fermi level. The calculated total density of states suggest that Pd2CuGa is metallic in nature where Fermi level is dominated by Cu 3d and Pd 4d electrons. Based on the calculations, Full Heusler Pd2CuGa exhibits no magnetic property.

Abstract: MAX phases with M(n+1)AXn formula have good damage tolerance, good corrosion resistance, high strength and stiffness at high temperatures because of their metallic, ionic and covalent bonding [1,2]. X atom of the MAX phases is generally Carbon and/or Nitrogen atoms. There are a few studies where the X atom is Boron in the literature. Borides of MAX phases could have many technological applications due to the high neutron cross section and the stability of Boron. In this study, mechanical, vibrational and thermal properties of Ti2SiB have been investigated using Density Functional Theory(DFT). The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) [3] has been employed with Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) parametrization of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) [4]. The elastic constants have been calculated using stress-strain method with the well-optimized structure, and then the mechanical properties have been obtained using these elastic constants (Cij). Moreover, Phonopy software [5] has been used for the vibrational and thermal properties calculation. The calculation results will be presented in this study.

Abstract: Current energy requirements have been supplied from fossil fuels which cause the release of the greenhouse gases. Therefore, clean energy sources have been searched. Hydrogen energy is one of the promising clean energy sources. Hydrogen is the most abundant element on the Earth and the storage techniques have been studied including gas, liquid and solid state storage [1]. The solid state hydrogen storage has the advantage of having more gravimetric storage capacity. In this study, MgTiO3 has been investigated using Density Functional Theory and hydrogen bonding to MgTiO3 has been performed. The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package [2] has been used for calculations. For pseudopotentials, Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) parametrization of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) has been chosen [3]. The structural optimization and electronic properties including band structure and corresponding density of states have been studied for MgTiO3. Then hydrogen bonding studies have been started and MgTiO3H3, MgTiO3H6 and MgTiO3H8 have been studied. The calculation results will be presented in this study.

Abstract: First-principles density functional theory is used to calculate the atomic geometry and electronic structure of a single and double-layer of Thallium (Tl) on the Si(111)-(√7×√3) surface. Tl atom is adsorbed on surface in two different layers, namely, H3 (Tl is directly above a fourth-layer Si atom) and T4 (Tl is directly above a second-layer Si atom) for Tl single layer, H3-T4 (the first Tl layer at H3 site while the second layer at the T4 site), T4-H3 (the first Tl layer at T4 site while the second layer at the H3 site), rectangular (rect) and hexagonal (hex) for Tl double layer. The results indicate that when Tl atoms with single layer adsorb on Si(111) surface, the system has semiconductor character. But, when the Tl atoms with double layer on surface, the system shows metallic character.

Abstract: We report a study on electronic, phonon, and electron-phonon interaction properties of filled Skutterudites XPt4Ge12 (X = Ba, Sr, and Th) using ab-initio method within the generalised gradient approximation with and without the spin-orbit interaction (SOI). The effect of SOI on the electronic, phonon, and electron-phonon interaction properties is more profound for ThPt4Ge12 containing heavier X elements rather than SrPt4Ge12 and BaPt4Ge12 which are containing relatively lighter X elements. The calculated electron-phonon coupling parameter values are 0,74 for BaPt4Ge12, 0,79 for SrPt4Ge12 and 0,69 for ThPt4Ge12 which suggest medium strength electron-phonon interaction for all compounds. The superconducting transition temperature with SOI is computed to be 5.36 K for BaPt4Ge12, 5.43 K for SrPt4Ge12 and 6.9 K for ThPt4Ge12 which coincide well with the respective measured values of 5.35 K, 5.4 K, and 4.62 K.

Abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles are of great interest for researchers because of the applications including magnetic fluids, catalysis, biotechnology/biomedicine, magnetic resonance imaging, data storage, and environmental remediation (1, 2). Enzymes immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles have several advantages such as high enzyme loading, improved enzyme stability, superparamagnetism, large surface area to volume ratio, easily and effectively recovered by application of a magnetic field (1). 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH) catalyzes the decarboxylation of 6- phosphogluconate to ribulose-5-P and CO2 and generates a molecule of NADPH (3) (illustrated below reaction) and is one of 13 enzymes in a synthetic pathway for the high-yield hydrogen production from starch and water developed by Zhang et al (4) .

3- + 2- 6-Phosphogluconate + NADP Ribulose-5-phosphate + CO2 + NADPH This synthetic pathway provides tree times higher H2 production than in natural bioconversion processes for biological production of H2 with zero net greenhouse gas emissions (5). In this study, 6-PGDH was immobilized on amino silane modified silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles by glutaraldehyde and determined its stability. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method, and then coated with silica generated by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane. The silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were further modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. 6-PGDH was then immobilized on modified nanoparticles by using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agents. The objective was to determine the thermal and storage stability and reusability of immobilized 6-PGDH and to compare that with free 6- PGDH.

Abstract: The typicalness of the thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) method requiring no sophisticated instrumentation is the use of a DC high voltage source and a high AC current electron gun to ignite the plasma. The main advantage of TVA is energetic ions coming on a sample provided by anode material besides the evaporated neutral atoms [1]. One of the greatest advantages of this method is produced in high purity of thin films because of high vacuum conditions. Within these advantages, the nanolayer thin films produced by TVA have compact morphology, low roughness, well-defined grains, and cohesive [2]. No waste is formed in the environment after the coating process. It is a completely environmentally method. TVA method is expedient, competitive process which high productive capacity for use in the industrial applications.

Department of Physics Engineering, Hacettepe University, Beytepe, Ankara, 06800, Turkey

Abstract: In this study, mechanical stability and electronic band structure with the calculated magnetic moments of copper-based telluride Cu3MnTe4 which conforms to 푃4̅3푚 space group with 215 space number, have been investigated in detail. The composition has ferromagnetic nature due to the plotted energy-volume graph in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases by using GGA within DFT. The calculated formation enthalpy shows that, this compound is thermodynamically stable and synthesizable material for technological applications. Due to GGA band structure, the chosen material has half-metallic character due to minority indirect band gap which is Eg = 0.99 eV with nearly integer total magnetic moment. The observed minority band gap is indirect gap which is from R to M point. Also, this compound has mechanical stability due to the calculated elastic constants satisfying Born-Huang criteria and is brittle material with negative Cauchy pressure and low Pugh’s ratio. The estimated anisotropy shear factor indicates that low anisotropic behavior. This compound with especially half- metallic electronic band structure can be good candidate for spintronic devices.

Abstract: Fluoxastrobin, (E)-{2-[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yloxy]phenyl} (5,6-dihydro- 1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl) methanone Omethyloxime, is a new strobilurin fungicide and due to its similarity to azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin it is expected to have wide application. It mainly applied to crops, coffee, potatoes and green vegetables. Its fungicidal activity is based on its ability to inhibit mitochondrial reparation of fungus of interest (1,2). Recently it has been reported that it had high toxicity to zebrafish embryos and can cause DNA damage in earthworms (2,3). Therefore, it is important to know its physicochemical nature and thermal properties. At that viewpoint, we calculated absorbance and electron transport features as well as thermal properties such as heat capacity, entropy and enthalpy in gas environment to understand the risks in terms of environmental safety. Raman and IR activity spectra behaviors and HOMO-LUMO energy diagram in gas phase are indicated in Fig. 1.

Abstract: Organic semiconductors have attracted considerable interest in the last few years due to their low cost, flexibility and the potential for large-scale organic devices They are also promising for solid-state lighting that emits efficient white light emitting devices (WOLEDs) [1,2]. Carbazole-based host materials are often used for WOLED applications [3,4]. Carbazole-based organic semiconducting derivatives are promising host materials because of their rigid molecular structure, close HOMO and LUMO energy levels, hole transport properties and restricting backward energy transfer [5]. 4,4'-Bis (3-ethyl-N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (ECBP) molecule is carbazole derivative. In this work, spectroscopic and electronic properties of ECBP molecule, a carbazole-derived organic light emitting diode and host material, were investigated. Geometric parameters and vibrational wavenumbers of the ECBP molecule were computed with DFT/B3LYP 6-311++ G(d,p) basis set using Gaussian 09 program [6]. HOMO-LUMO analyses were performed. Fig. 1 shows the optimize geometry of ECBP molecule.

Abstract: As it is well-known, combustion is a complex process in which a fuel and an oxidizer are reacted. In other words, the process requires an oxidizer to burn any fuel. So, it is very important to examine effect of oxidizer concentration on combustion characteristics of any fuel. For this purpose, the effect of oxygen concentration in oxidizer has been reviewed and evaluated on combustion characteristics of a diffusion methane flame within the present study. Air is a most- known type of oxidizer and it includes 21 % O2 – 79 % N2 volumetrically. However, there are a lot of studies in which different types of oxidizers have been used in the literature. In particular, oxidizer is diluted by different types of diluents such as CO2, N2, H2O to suppress some pollutant and to provide more uniform thermal field. The studies conducted by different scientists show that NOX and CO pollutants and thermal field are highly influenced when any diluent is used in the oxidizer. It is concluded that usage of oxidizer including some other diluents effects pollutant emissions and thermal field considerably.

Abstract In this work, recent numerical studies on energy storage in phase change materials(PCMs) have been reviewed. In recent years, thermal energy storage in phase change materials(PCMs) has been very popular in terms of storing energy and supplying when it is needed. High thermal capacity of PCMs, due to large enthalpy of phase change(latent heat), increase the potential of these materials for heat accumulation, but also modifies heat transfer in transient states what improves their insulating characteristics. Many simple models have been developed for numerical simulations of energy storage units. Computaional Fluids Dynamics (CFD) tools such as Ansys Fluent have been used for most of the numerical studies. Numerical studies have resulted improving the energy storage potential of PCMs.

Abstract: Honey production in Turkey is located in the top four in the world. In honeys packaged for consumption in Turkey is shown many criteria as quality indicators. HMF is one of the most important among these criteria. HMF is regarded as a quality parameter of honey for a long time [1-2]. The HMF values, which are low at the time of filling, can increase considerably on the shelves depending on storage conditions. In this study, HMF values of the processed packed honeys and the belonging to Kırşehir region traditional honeys were determined and compared. It has been determined that the HMF value is higher in the honey when the date of filling is older in the study.

Parameters to be Considered When Meteorological Station Location Selection is Determined: Mugla Example

Dilek Ferudun*

*Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Science and Letters, Department of Geography, 40100, Kırşehir, Turkey [email protected]

Abstract Meteorological stations are important measurement sites for not only weather forecasts, ie short-term weather events, but also long-term weather events, ie climate records. The location of the meteorological station is important for keeping accurate records and for measuring the climate of the area in which it is located, as well as the weather forecasts. Many meteorological stations located at different points in Turkey closed at times, re-opened after a certain time or never opened or a new station was rebuilt at a different point due to various reasons. For this reason, missing records can be found for a minimum of 30 years of data used for long-term climate studies. In addition, it is considered that the station's location selection may not be correct due to weather forecasts always not reflecting the actual situation (on rainfall or temperature forecasts). In this study, it was aimed to determine whether the meteorological stations in Muğla are homogeneously dispersed in terms of area size and the topographic features (such as : altitude, slope, aspect) and whether they are located accurately or not. The meteorological stations belonging the city are located in 3D maps created by Geographic Information Systems software according to their altitudes. Then the slope and aspect maps of the area were created. In addition, the provincial land use maps and 3D maps are overlap; the most suitable station locations have been determined taking into consideration industrial, agricultural and tourism areas, elevation, slope and view. As a result of the work, different station locations were obtained than the current station locations. Key words: Muğla, meteorological station, the most suitable position, Geographical Information Systems.

Ahi Evran Üniversitesi, Mühendislik-Mimarlık Fakültesi, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği, [email protected]

Abstract Universities, which constitute the last stages of education, aim to become a pioneer in science and technology and a unique leading university in education, as they set their mission as research, education, training, production, publication and consultancy in advanced science and technology fields. But in order to realize all these, it is inevitable to have an academic staff with scientific competence. Competence of an academic staff is evaluated by different criteria systems. These benchmarking systems look at the academic background of academic staff; publications, articles, notices, books and book chapters, lectures, bachelor and graduate thesis counseling, awards, memberships, administrative duties, projects, researches, references, exhibitions, It contains many works. However, the evaluation scores of both the criteria and the criteria there vary from universities to universities. Criteria generally consist of academic success and publication criteria, but do not take into account whether the staff has previously done post-doctoral studies or how many years of academic background they have in the past. In this study, the current assignment and promotion directives of the universities were examined and all the criteria were removed and the decision support system created for evaluating these criteria was presented. Through the decision support system, each university can enter the parameter values according to their criterion systems and see the scores and sort by university, faculty or department. At the same time, each teaching staff will be able to analyze the score in each area with the other department or persons. All this as well as all higher education institutions in Turkey will assess the possibility of their positions within other institutions. It will also be possible to publish the curriculum vitae of all academic staff who have completed the entry of all the data in one place.

Abstract: Pyraclostrobin, or methyl N-[2-[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1Hpyrazol-3-yl]oxymethyl]phenyl]eN- methoxycarbamate is a member of strobilurin class of fungicides and it has been widely applied to peanuts, banana, cucumber, soybean and cereal. The mode of action is to inhibit mitochondrial respiration of the target fungus (1,2). Recently it has been reported that it is highly toxic and can cause DNA damage in zebrafish (2,3). In this regard, we performed density functional theory (DFT) studies to predict toxicity of Pyraclostrobin molecule from its electron transport property because a larger energy gap means a more stable molecule with respect to reactions with biomolecules (4). In addition, photophysical, thermal and structural properties in gas environment were searched based on DFT method. Fig. 1 shows the optimize geometry and energy gap diagram of Pyraclostrobin molecule.

Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by an elevated level of blood glucose called hyperglycemia. The polyol pathway is activated in the hyperglycemia. Aldose reductase (AR, E.C. 1.1.1.21) is the first and key enzyme of the polyol pathway. The activity of aldose reductase enzyme increases in diabetes mellitus. This increase leads to the accumulation of metabolites such as sorbitol and fructose in the cells, as well as the activation of pathways such as protein kinase C, the pathway of advanced glycation, and the pathway of hexose amine. These changes in the cells cause microvascular (cataract, diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy) and macrovascular complications (cardiovascular, peripheral arterial and cerebrovascular diseases) due to diabetes mellitus. So aldose reductase inhibitors provide an important therapeutic candidates in the treatment and prevention of diabetic complications [1,2]. In keeping with these informations, our aim in this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of the some indazoles on cow kidney aldose reductase enzyme. For this reason, aldose reductase was purified from cow kidney using simple chromatographic methods. Additionaly, in vitro inhibition effects determined of 1H-indazole, 4-bromo-1H-indazole, 6- bromo-1H-indazole, 7-bromo-1H-indazole, 4-chloro-1H-indazole, 6-chloro-1H-indazole, 7- chloro-1H-indazole, 4-fluoro-1H-indazole, 6-fluoro-1H-indazole, 7-fluoro-1H-indazole cow kidney aldose reductase. These indazole compounds showed remarkably potent inhibitory effects on aldose reductase. The indazoles showed IC50 values and Ki constants in a range of 0.154 mM to 1.04 mM, 0.110±0.01 mM to 1.120±0.069 mM, respectively. The aldose reductase inhibitory activity of indazoles was in the following decreasing order: 6-bromo-1H-indazole > 6-chloro-1H-indazole >7-bromo-1H-indazole > 4-bromo-1H-indazole > 7-chloro-1H-indazole > 6-fluoro-1H-indazole> 7-fluoro-1H-indazole > 7-chloro-1H-indazole >4-fluoro-1H-indazole > 1H-indazole. 1H-indazole showed noncompetitive inhibition while the halogenated indazoles showed competitive inhibition. In conclusion, we conclude that these results may be useful in the synthesis of new aldose reductase inhibitors.

Department of Energy Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Ankara, Turkey Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]

Abstract: The application of solar panels to transparent windows and window glass has become popular in the literature in recent years. In this case, the coating on the glass surface requires the application of various chemicals as a liquid and drying at low temperatures. This coating, which can be applied to any kind of glass or plastic surface, is built inside the glasses and is guaranteed a 25 year guarantee period like a normal solar panel, in order to be protected especially from the deterioration caused by natural conditions. Using LIT structure with solar cells instead of solar cells alone significantly reduces the cost of the product. When c-Si alone is used, the cost is $4 /Wp, whereas with LIT with c-Si at the edges this cost drops to $1/Wp. On the other hand, the cost of DSSCs is $0.75/Wp. Therefore, the cost of LIT with the DSSCs on the edges will be much lowered. This is the most important advantage of the product we offer here against competitors in the market.

Abstract Polarizable Continuum Model was used to simulate solvatochromic effects. Solvents of different polarities were used to collect experimental spectra, and the same solvents were chosen for the PCM calculations. The optimized geometrical structure and electronic transitions (vertical absorption and emission) 9-Bromoanthracene and 9-Bromophenanthrene was investigated on the basis of spectroscopic data and theoretical calculations. The DFT/TDDFT methods show good quantitative agreement regarding the spectral position of the first absorption band in Figure 1. Solvent effects were calculated using time-dependent density functional theory using B3LYP method with 6-31G* basis set. Two formalism are available to compute transition energies within the PCM framework: State-Specific (SS) and Linear- Response (LR). These approaches have advantages especially for polar solvents and/or weak transitions. The computed emission energies for regarding compounds are very close to their experimental UV and Florescence data. It is shows that SS and LR treatment of non-equilibrium solvent effects on both the excited and the ground state energies.

Abstract: Recombination of carriers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) causes a significant degradation in their performance. In spite of that it is well-known that blocking layers prevent this kind of recombination from happening, Cu and Co-doped ZnO blocking layers are rarely considered due to some challenges. The structural and optical properties of TiO2/ZnO:X/FTO (X: Cu, Co) devices are determined by means of XRD and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. Herein, the effects of blocking layers on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs are investigated by taking I-V measurements. By insulting Co-doped ZnO blocking layer into DSSCs, it is found that short circuit current is significantly improved.

Abstract: In this study, the calculation of ionization energy of quantum dot with parabolic potential is calculated. Besides, the effect of parabolic potential is investigated on the ionization energy. The energy states and the wavefunctions are calculated by using a new variational approximation which is a combination of quantum genetic algorithm and Hartree-Fock Roothaan method. The results show that the parabolic potential, impurity charge and dot dot size have a strong effect on the ionization energy.

The effect of chain length in ionic liquids onto protein stabilization: The case of [CnC1im][PF6] via DFT and molecular docking approach

Fehmi Bardak

Department of Physics, Faculty of Art and Sciences, Manisa Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey

Abstract: Ionic liquids (ILs) are molten salts melt below 100 ºC or even at room temperature in many cases. These mysterious liquids are studied intensely due to their high resistivity to expansion, high conductivity, tunability of their futures by varying anion-cation pairs, the possibility of synthesis of millions of them etc. which lead to unbelievable diverse applications 1. Besides, they are considered as miraculous solvents for biological system as well. ILs in protein research are mainly take place in protein stabilization, crystallization, solubilization, separation, extraction, and the performance additive in enzymatic reactions 2.

This study explores the effect of chain length in ionic liquids on the IL-protein interactions through examination of molecular docking characteristics of [CnC1im][PF6] (n=1,2,…8) ILs with cutinise enzyme, and provide insight into the nature of the arising interactions via DFT based reactivity descriptors. All IL-protein interactions are observed to be van der Waals type, and the total binding energy increases according to Boltzmann growth with chain length. However, the preferred binding site differs from each other. The most potent among them seems to be [C5C1im][PF6] with the most appropriate binding site and greater binding affinity than the average level. The variation in the binding capability of ILs with the chain length is also compared with that of spectroscopic features obtained via DFT/TD-DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G++** level of theory.

Abstract: The structural, electronic, elastic and vibrational properties of nonmagnetic TiHg3 intermetallic compound, which crystallize in AuCu3-type structure, are studied using first principles density functional theory. The calculations are executed at the level of Perdew–Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) parameterized generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for exchange correlation functional. Our obtained results of lattice parameters show reasonable agreement to the previously reported theoretical studies. Analysis of the calculated band structure of TiHg3 compound demonstrates its metallic character. Besides, the calculated values of elastic constants satisfy the Born criteria at ambient conditions and confirm that cubic TiHg3 compound is mechanically stable. Finally, we plotted the phonon dispersion curve of this compound along high symmetry directions in the first Brillouin zone.

Abstract: In here, N,N′-Dipentyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C5) organic small molecule and 5,5′-Di(4-biphenylyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (PPTTPP) organic nanofiber materials were used to provide organic hetero-solution. These organic materials with the same molar value were solved very well in the chloroform solvent until a homogeneous form was obtained by means of a mixer. Thus, organic hetero-solution of PTCDI-C5: PPTTPP (1:1) was prepared. The optical behaviours of organic PTCDI-C5: PPTTPP hetero-solution were were examined in detail. Also, the optical parameters such as optical density (see Fig. 1), transmittance, molar extinction coefficient, mass extinction coefficient, optical absorption band edge, optical band gap, dielectric constant, optical and electrical conductance were obtained and were compared with the optical parameters of the solutions of only PTCDI-C5 and only PPTTPP organic materials in the literature.

Abstract: The optical band gaps of the N,N′-Dipentyl-3,4,9,10-perylenedicarboximide (PTCDI-C5):5,5′- Di(4-biphenylyl)-2,2′-bithiophene (PPTTPP) (1:1) hetero-solutions for 1.860, 0.805 and 0.436 mM concentrations were found to be 2.114, 2.232 and 2.268 eV, respectively (see Fig. 1a). Then, the refractive indices of the PTCDI-C5:PPTTPP (1:1) hetero-solutions for different concentrations were obtained from many relations as seen in Fig. 1b. Finally, the refractive index dispersion properties of the PTCDI-C5:PPTTPP (1:1) hetero-solutions for different concentrations were analyzed using the single oscillator model. The dispersion is a measure of the change of the refractive index with wavelength and it can be explained by applying the electromagnetic theory to the molecular structure of matter. The dispersion energy, single oscillator energy and optical oscillator strength parameters of the PTCDI-C5:PPTTPP (1:1) hetero-solutions were determined. Thus, effects of the concentrations on refractive indices and dispersion properties of the PTCDI-C5:PPTTPP (1:1) hetero-solutions were investigated in detail.

Keywords: PTCDI-C5:PPTTPP (1:1) hetero-solutions, refractive index dispersion, optical oscillator strength, single oscillator model.

Abstract: In this study, we have performed a theoretical study on electronic and photo-physical properties of organic 2,5-Bis(1-naphthyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BND) molecule. In particular, we used both DFT [1] (with the conventional functional) as well as TD-DFT calculations. We utilized B3LYP [2] and CAM-B3LYP [3] functionals to obtain HOMO-LUMO gaps as well as to analyze excited-state absorption spectra. The results reveal that B3LYP actually estimates HOMO- LUMO gaps, but underestimate excited-state energies. CAM-B3LYP range-separated functional was also found to be a way to correct for this deficiency.

Cement syndrome may cause hypoxia, hypotension, sudden loss of consciousness in the patient due to the use of acrylic bone cement in the operation. It can even cause cardiac arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Cement syndrome and death were reported as 0,1%. Effective communication between the anesthetist and the surgeon is important for determining the type of operation and managing the anesthesia. Maximum sensitivity should be shown and necessary precautions should be taken in order to reduce risk of cement syndrome.

Abstract: "MXene", a new class of two dimensional materials, has attracted considerable research interest due to its outstanding physical properties as well as promising technological applications [1]. In this work, the structural, and elastic properties of the bulk Mo2ScC2 compound [2] is calculated first time within the framework of the density-functional theory (DFT) by using the plane-wave pseudopotential approach as implemented within the MedeA-VASP package[3-4]. Firstly, the structural parameters of Mo2ScC2 is optimized, and calculated the formation enthalpy. Then, the elastic constants, Bulk modulus, Shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Debye temperature, Shear anisotropic factors and the elastic anisotropy are obtained and analyzed for the first time. We think that the results will guide the experimental work that is not yet done.

Abstract: Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) OFETs are being investigated quite often these days. There are a lot of studies about the development of performance of OFETs. However, the performance of the OFETs has not yet been sufficiently achieved for commercial applications. Properties of gate dielectric materials for OFETs are very important to achieve low operation voltage, high mobility and high on/off ratio. In order to provide these properties several methods have been investigated such as combining high-k dielectric nano particles with polymer dielectrics, high k inorganic dielectrics, inorganic-organic bi layer dielectric, self-assemble monolayer (SAM) dielectrics and solid state polymer electrolyte [1-4]. Hovewer these methods are very difficult to implement and require high technology. In this study, using of easy productable and cheep polymer gate dielectric materials have been demonstrated for OFET application. Under 1 V operational voltage and high mobility values have been achieved by using polymer gel dielectric.

Yalçın Kalkan, Arif Kösemen

Muş Alparslan University, 49250, Muş, Turkey [email protected]

Abstract: GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) is one of the latest representatives of developing micro- structured atomic particle detectors [1]. GEM detector consists of a foil and two electrodes. The GEM foil is a resistive thin film which both sides coated with conductor layers. Originally, a polyimide (PMDA-ODA) is used in the GEM foil with some problems [2]. Primary electrons reacting with polyimide and electron lost is decreasing the detector gain. Considering the more positive features, we have used 23 microns thick low density (0.910–0.940 g/cm3) polyethylene (LDPE) instead of the polyimide. In this study, we have done the electrical characterization of low density polyethylene as a GEM foil.

Abstract: The theoretical calculations by using density functional theory (DFT) method was performed to search for investigating the chemical activity and structural properties of the isolated molecule that cannot be examined by experimental ways. A detailed molecular and chemical study (chemical activity calculations) was made for organic structure. Electrophilic and nucleophilic attack and the region of chemical activities were also calculated by Fukui function (FF), molecular electrostatic potatial (MEP), Natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses. The behavior of molecule as electrophilic and nucleophilic attack during reaction was depended on the local behavior of molecule [1]. Also, the global chemical descriptors which are the HOMO- LUMO energy, energy gap (ΔE), ionization potential (I), the electron affinity (A), absolute electronegativity (χ), electrophilicity index (푤), the absolute hardness (η) and softness (s) determine the chemical reactivity, kinetic stability, soft and hard stability of molecules [2]. The MEP surface, Fukui function analysis, local and global chemical descriptors and atomic charge distribution results are supported each other for identifying the electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks.

Abstract: Schiff bases, which are carrying the azomethine functional group (CH=N) have attracted much attention because they not only present antimicrobial, antituberculosis, anticancer, antiinflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial activities but have been used as catalyst carriers, dyes and pigments, metal complexion agents, thermo-stable materials and corrosion inhibitors as well [1]. The molecular structure of the Schiff bases compound was studied theoretically by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) of the computational chemistry methods. In order to obtain stabilitiy of the structure in the ground state was optimized at DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level theory. After a successful optimization, the information about energy, dipole moment, frontier orbitals, hardness and softness reports (chemical activity) and molecular electrostatic potential map (MEP) were not able to analysed experimentally, were obtained by computational chemical calculations. In addition, Hirshfeld surface analysis was computed. Hirshfeld surfaces computational analysis survey the intermolecular interactions in terms of surface contribution and generating graphical representations, plotting 2D fingerprint plots [2], and generating electrostatic potential [3].

Green Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Using Antioxidants Extracts and Investigation of Their Catalytic Activity in Degradation of Dyes

Muradiye Şahin, İlkay Hilal Gübbük

Department of Chemistry, Selcuk University, Campus, 42075, Konya, Turkey [email protected]

Abstract: In this study, we developed cinnamon/platinum nanoparticles (Cnm-PtNPs), carob/platinum nanoparticles (Crb-PtNPs), ginger/platinum nanoparticles (Gng-PtNPs) and turmeric/platinum nanoparticles (Trm-PtNPs) evaluated their potential to be degradation of Rhodamine B (RB), Methylene Blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO) dyes. Firstly nanoparticles are synthesized and the prepared Cnm-PtNPs, Crb-PtNPs, Gng-PtNPs and Trm-PtNPs are characterized using Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX). UV-Visible measurements are made at regular intervals to understand the reduction of the dyes (RB,MB, MO). Green approach of nanoparticles synthesis by biological entities has been gaining great advantages which are environmental benign, less toxic, and time consuming; and also it is a single step process. Currently, plant and plant derived materials are used for nanoparticles synthesis which is more compatible than the microbe-mediated nanoparticles synthesis process because they eliminate the culture maintenance and are easy to handle. Dyes are the major effluents from various industries such as paper, plastic, leather, food, and textiles that cause significant water pollution. Most of these dyes are toxic, non-biodegradable and persist in the environment and have a potential toxicity toward humans, and plants. Among them methylene blue and congo red are usually toxic and have carcinogenic and mutagenic effects towards the biosphere. Therefore, the degradation of these pollutants from the environment is an important challenge in ecological systems, due to their toxicity and carcinogenic properties. Antioxidant plants will be used to keep the nanoparticles stable. Antioxidant plants prevent oxidation of the formed particle and add antibacterial properties to the particle. Thus, on the one hand the water is removing organic pollution while the healthier and hygienic waters are saved by eliminating possible bacteria in the water. In this study, using cinnamon, carob, ginger and turmeric extract at room temperature (25oC) characterized using spectroscopic techniques and the potential of Cnm-PtNPs, Crb-PtNPs, Gng- PtNPs and Trm-PtNPs with regard to the catalytic degradation of organic dyes (e.g., RB, MB, MO) was evaluated in the presence of NaBH4. The synthesized nanoparticles have been successfully applied as a catalyst in the degradation of RB, MB and MO by NaBH4.

Abstract: Thyme agriculture is rapidly developing in Turkey. In particular, a pharmacy, as well as due to fairly widespread use as a spice plantation area is increasing more and more every year. Turkey provides about 70% of the world thyme requests. Accordingly, it is important to determine what kind of changes will be made in terms of planting, yield and production in the years to come and what direction this change will be seen. For this purpose, the time-dependent changes using secondary data on an annual basis between the years 2004-2016 supplied by the Agency was requested to be identified. For this, time series analysis has been done for years. With the time series analysis it can be clearly seen how the sowing area, production and yield change over time and how it will take a turn in the future. Y = 49,0700 * (1,06901 ** t) for the sowing area, Y = 6,19492 * (1,07,124 ** t) for the production value and the yield for the yield for the yield area in the analysis to determine how the thyme cultivation has changed in the last 15 years Y = 126,146 * (1,00217 ** t) were found. According to this, it is determined that there is no significant change in productivity while the plantation area and production amount increase. In the obtained equations, it has been determined that the planting area and production amount of thyme plant will increase a little more in the coming years but it has been determined that there will be no significant increase in yield.

Abstract: Interaction of materials with different charged particles and gamma rays have always been an investigated topic among scientists. The most simple and basic reason for that is the consequences of these interactions that affect not only the material itself and surrounding but also the human life by direct or indirect ways. These interactions have been studying to understand the fundamentals of the interactions as well as to see the effects and develop required protection methods from the possible harmful effects or outcomes. The exist knowledge of the penetration distance for different charged particles, material’s stopping power to these particles and the mass attenuation coefficient for gamma rays will be beneficial to many areas like material research and development studies to obtain more accurate results in radiation shielding, investigation of gamma effects on material itself, results of material character changes under the irradiation and development of materials for specific purposes. One of these specific purpose material development study could be pointed as the nuclear reactor control rod material production. By considering this situation, in this study alpha, 3He, triton, deuteron and proton particle penetration distances have been calculated by using GEANT4 and MCNP codes in the energy range of 1–50 MeV. Also, Europium’s stopping power results for these particles in the mentioned energy range have been obtained via the same codes. In addition to the calculations regarding charged particle-matter interactions, mass attenuation coefficient calculations for Europium have been performed by using GEANT4 code where the energy range for the simulations starts from 50 keV and rises up to 2 MeV with an increase of 50 keV in each step that contains 106 particles. To comment about the obtained mass attenuation calculation results, data taken from XCOM database have been used.

Abstract: Nuclear reactions can be classified as compound reactions, direct reactions and pre-equilibrium reactions according to their time scale. Outgoing particles after compound reactions have an isotropic movement distribution like evaporating, whereas outgoing particles after direct reactions tend to have a forward movement. The goal of this study is to investigate compound, direct and pre-equilibrium contributions to the double differential cross–sections of 27Al(d,xn) reactions, where deuteron energy has chosen as 7.5 MeV, at 1200 incident particle energy. Double differential cross–sections have been calculated using three macroscopic level density models of TALYS 1.8 code, which is one of the most known and widely used computer aided tool for the calculations of quantities for nuclear reactions. Constant Temperature Fermi Gas Model, Back Shifted Fermi Gas Model and Generalised Superfluid Model have been employed for calculations. Theoretical calculations have been compared experimental data taken from EXFOR database. Contributions of different reaction mechanism on double differential cross sections have been calculated for best level density models.

Abstract: Fe-Al alloys have a special place in the industry and Fe – 40 % Al alloy is subject to versatile researches in terms of both mechanical and magnetic transition. In this study, we discuss the changes in the bcc and bct phases of the atomic interactions at the plane of the alloy (hkl). The Classical Morse Potential Function (KMPF) was used to calculate the internal interaction energy between the atoms. For this, primarily parametrization of KMPF was carried out by using alloy experimental knitting parameter according to Grifalco-Weizer method. Equilibrium states are observed at each (hkl) plane in the case of the bcc phase, while only at the (211), (310) and (321) planes at the bct phase. Equilibrium states energies gave the same results in both phases, with energy levels in each (hkl) plane containing differences. The equilibrium distances are different in bcc and bct phase, and the sizes of (hkl) planes are close to each other. The sizes between the energy cut points of both phases were predicted as the darkest area in that plane, and this range was not seen only in the axis planes, (200) and (400) (Figure 1).

Abstract: AlMgSc alloys are an important material because of their strength and lightness. Such a study was aimed to investigate the basic behavior of this alloy at different temperatures. XRD measurements at the DPU Advanced Technology Center (ILTEM) were taken at different temperature ranges from room temperature to 600 ° C by pulverizing the previously obtained sample. Finally, the sample was cooled to room temperature and XRD analysis was performed again. When the obtained results were examined, it was seen that the fcc structure of crystal braided with temperature did not change with temperature, but there were significant increases in braiding parameters. It was also observed that there was a significant difference between the results of the first measurement and the results of the last measurement. This difference has been reached as a result of the effect of deformation due to temperature.

Abstract: After our recent theoretical computations related with the some elastic and mechanical properties of cubic fluorite structure (β) type of BaF2 crystal, we use the obtained data to determine the three dimensional elastic anisotropy behavior of BaF2. Our results for the three dimensional elastic anisotropy of BaF2 clearly confirm that BaF2 is highly isotropic. So this material might be very handy for the studies of ultrasonic mixing and harmonic generation as highlighted in early experiments.

Abstract: Today, the use of solar energy has become widespread as fossil fuels are both exhausting and their costs are rising. There are investments made in solar panels that cover very large areas for solar energy. Kırşehir is located in a position to benefit from solar energy. It also has a lot of empty land for energy fields that cover a very large area called sun fields. However, as in all other energy groups, it is important that people to have knowledge about the subject in solar energy. Knowing the importance of the subject by people might ensure to take some precautions on increasing investment and ensuring continuity in the production of energy. The aim of this study is to measure the level of consciousness of people about solar energy in Kırşehir and to determine the effect of this level on the sustainability of investments and energy use. In this study, population information, neighborhood boundaries in provincial maps were used. A sample was selected according to population information and a questionnaire was applied to this sample population. The questionnaires included questions about economic status, educational level, and whether or not they had knowledge of solar energy. Survey results were used in cluster analysis via SPSS software. Cluster similarity conditions were determined by cluster analysis. As a result of the study, there is a positive relationship between the population’s the level of consciousness on solar energy and the economic status and education level.

Abstract: Drought is characterized mainly in three different characteristics. These are; duration, spatial distribution and severity. In addition, time interval, repetition frequency and magnitude are important. It is also named as hydrological, agricultural and meteorological according to the parameters aimed. Drought can become a catastrophic disaster that can affects human life and ecosystem adversely, and when it comes to advanced levels, it can take living organisms lives. For this reason, it should be monitored and analyzed constantly in meteorological events. Kırşehir, the subject of this study, is located in a semi-arid climate region. In other words, it can be said that it is a sensitive area in terms of drought. In the study, the temperature and rainfall data of 1983-2017 years obtained from General Directorate of Meteorology Affairs were used and meteorological drought analysis was made by using Palmer Drought Index. As a result, although it is not seen that it goes to a very prominent drought period, it is understood that the chronologically, it is entering a relatively dry time period nowadays.

Abstract: Voltage stability in power systems is one of the most important issues that must be studied in order to provide efficient, high quality and uninterrupted energy. Voltage stability can be defined as the ability to return the voltage value of all the buses to normal operating conditions as a result of any effect on power systems (line interruption, overload, generator fault, etc.). In this work, meta-heuristic optimization algorithms are used to provide voltage stability in power systems. In power systems, it is ensured that the active power losses are minimized to obtain the nearest zero value of the voltage deviation value. Particle swarm optimization (PSO), gravity search algorithm (GSA) and teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithms have been implemented in the IEEE 14-bus power system. Here, various load increments, scenarios such as line disruptions were created, and before and after the connection of the reactive power compensators (RPC) to the load buses, the optimization studies were carried out. In the study, all the optimization algorithms gave positive results and the best optimization was determined with the TLBO algorithm.

Bandwidth-enhanced polarization independent metamaterial absorber with Z-gap resonators

Fulya Bağcı, Barış Akaoğlu

Department of Physics Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Ankara University, TR-06100 Ankara, Turkey

Abstract: During the last decade, a great amount of interest has been devoted to metamaterials due to their interesting electromagnetic properties that are not encountered in natural materials [1]. Metamaterials have found many applications in different engineering fields, ranging from sub- diffraction limited optical imaging to wireless power transfer [2,3]. Among different applications, absorbers constitute one of the major applications of metamaterials. In this study, a wide band, polarization independent metamaterial absorber is designed by using a supercell array with two different Z-gap resonators on a copper-backed 1.575 mm-thick Rogers RT-5880 substrate. The simulations are realized by using a finite integration based full-wave electromagnetic solver, CST Microwave Studio. It is reported that Z-gap resonators are a kind of electric-inductive-capacitive resonators which provide inductance due to the Z-shaped metallic stripe and capacitance due to the gap in the middle of the slanted part of the Z-shaped stripe [4]. In this study, the designed first metamaterial with Z-gap resonators has a polarization independent resonance at 8.65 GHz with 0.42 GHz FWHM bandwidth, whereas the second metamaterial exhibits polarization independent absorption at 9.66 GHz with 0.41 GHz FWHM bandwidth. The two resonators are arranged in a supercell configuration with C4 symmetry so that the bandwidth of the absorber is enhanced more than 50% for the two orthogonal polarizations. Electric field and surface current distributions are analysed to explain the absorption phenomena. The bandwidth-enhanced metamaterial absorber has an absorption ratio of 98% and maintains its superior absorption characteristics up to 45° angle of incidence for the TE and TM polarizations.

Tunable electromagnetic induced transparency with microstrip coupled split-ring resonator*

Fulya Bağcı, Barış Akaoğlu

Department of Physics Engineering, Ankara University, TR-06100 Ankara, Turkey

Abstract: Metamaterials, as subwavelength periodic metallic inclusions in a host dielectric media, are very convenient structures to mimic electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon in classical systems [1]. EIT enables reduction in the group velocity of electromagnetic waves. EIT-like metamaterials host two kind of modes, one of which is a radiative mode coupled to free space propagating waves. The other mode is dark mode which can be excited indirectly through coupling with the radiative mode. The tunability property of EIT-like effect in metamaterials holds a key issue in the design of dynamically controllable slow light devices [2]. The investigated structure in this study consists of an open-ended stub vertically connected to a 50 Ω microstrip line, which serves as the radiative mode resonator, and a capacitor loaded split ring resonator serving as the dark mode resonator. The resonators lie on top of a one-side copper clad Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate (Fig.1a). The relative permittivity and thickness of the substrate are 2.1 and 1.575 mm, respectively. Numerical calculations are carried out with a 3D commercial electromagnetic solver, CST Microwave Studio. The peak frequency and full- width at half-maximum bandwidth of the EIT-like band decrease as the capacitance is increased to 2 pF, while keeping the peak transmission ratio almost constant. Further increase of capacitance has less effect on EIT-like properties. Electric and magnetic field distributions at maximum and minimum points of the EIT-like band are analysed to provide a physical insight. According to the numerical results the microstrip system can be fabricated with varactor diodes instead of capacitors and EIT-like effect can be tuned by voltage. Such EIT-like microstrip systems are of great importance for tunable slow-wave filters.

Abstract: 2D cell cultures have been commonly used in medical research but they have not the natural cell environment1. This cell cultures has been slow to overcome of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer therapy. The three-dimensional (3D) cultures of these cell lines especially exhibited differences including cell proliferation(IC50), cellular aggregate formation, and expression of genes2. In this study, 3D culture of Cis, 5-Fu and Gem resistant triple negative breast cancer cell lines was developed and evaluated spheroid formation properties of 3D model cell culture. Cell lines were multiplied globally using the three-dimensional hanging drop method. Cis, Fu and Gemcitabine-resistant MDA-MB-231 cells were observed to begin to disintegrate in three- dimensional clustered structure at 72 hours. The cultures of the parental cell line MDA-MB- 231 served as controls. After adding the drugs in different amounts we observed a clear and well-differentiated spheroid formation for 24 h. In addition, Cis and Fu resistance 3D culture cells retained the spheroid form for 48h but not for Gem resistance 3D cells spheroids. At the end of the 72h, Cis and 5-Fu resistant 3D cells began to lose their spheroidal forms and the Gem resistant 3D cells completely disintegrated. According to the results, we found that cells with high resistance retain their spheroid form for a long time. This results might play an important role to evaluate the efficacy of anticancer drugs, explore mechanisms of MDR in 3D cultures.

Three variants [-174G/C (rs1800795), -572G/C (rs1800796) and -597G/A (rs1800797)] in the IL-6 promoter region were analysed by PCR- RFLP technique. There were significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of the IL-6 -174G/C gene variants between OSCC patients and controls. IL-6-174 G/G and C/C genotypes were lower percentage in patients than controls while G/C genotype was higher in patients compared to control group (p = 0.016, OR:0.653, 95%CI:0.38-1.11). The distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of IL-6 gene -572G/C and -597G/A variants were not statistically different between OSCC patients and control group. This study is the first to investigate IL-6 variants to risk for developing OSCC in a Turkish cohort. Our results suggest IL-6-174G/ variant might play a role in developing OSCC. Further well-designed, large scale studies are required to confirm this conclusion.

Abstract: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of common oral inflammatory diseases. Immune system and dysfunctional cytokine cascade were held responsible in outbreaks of RAS. The aim of the this study was to determine the possible association between interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) gene variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) variant and susceptibility to RAS in Turkish population. The IL-1Ra VNTR variant was evaluated in 169 RAS patients and 171 healthy control by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The mean age of the RAS patients was 25.83±11.97 years. There was not any significant difference in IL-Ra VNTR variant genotype and allele distributions between the patients and the control group. This is the first study to investigate relationship between RAS and IL-1Ra VNTR variant in Turkish population. Our data suggest that IL-1Ra VNTR variant may not be associated with the risk of RAS in a sample of Turkish population. However, larger studies with different ethnicities are needed to find out the impact of IL-1Ra VNTR variant on risk of developing RAS.

Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disorder characterized by degenerative articular cartilage in which inflammatory mechanisms play a major role in the pathogenesis. Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene -174G/C (rs1800795) and - 572G/C (rs1800796) variants with the susceptibility to knee OA. One hundred and fifty patients with knee OA (44 males, 106 females; mean age: 58.30±11.38) and 150 healthy individuals (52 males, 113 females; mean age: 44.38±13.78) were enrolled in the study. Genotypes and allele frequencies of two groups were determined using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) products. The IL-6 -174G/C genotype frequencies in the studied population were as follows: GG, GC, and CC in the controls were 35%, 47.3% and 17.3 % and in the patients with OA were 56%, 30%, and 14%, respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the genotype and allele frequencies of the IL-6 -174G/C variant between patients with OA and control groups (p=0.001, p=0.002, respectively). GG genotype and G allele were more prevalent in patients with OA. It was no found relationship that genotype and allele frequencies of IL-6 -572G/C variant and OA. GG- GG combined genotype of -174G/C and -572G/C loci was significantly higher in OA patients (p=0.00).Our study suggests that there was strong association between the IL-6 -174G/C variant and OA in the Turkish population. Further studies on populations of different ethnic background are necessary to prove the association of IL-6 variants with OA.

Determination of Trace Copper in Some Food and Biological Samples After Sepration and Preconcentration Procedure

a b Cigdem Er , Harun Ciftci

aMucur Vocational Training School, Kirsehir Ahi Evran University, TR-40100 Kirsehir, TURKEY bDepartment of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Kirsehir Ahi Evran University, TR-40100 Kirsehir, TURKEY [email protected] Abstract: Copper is one of the most important heavy metals that is broadly used in industrial applications. It is also found as a residual contaminant in agricultural products. Based on its wide spread applications, Cu(II) can be leached out into the environment from several sources [1]. Metal ion contaminants may present a potential hazard for human health if exposure exceeds tolerable limits. Therefore, national and international regulations, such as standards and directives on quality of drinking water, food, etc. are limiting the maximum permissible levels of toxic metals in these materials [2-3]

In the present work, we developed a separation and preconcentration method for copper ions from some food and biological samples using Activated Carbon from Grape Stalk; (ACGS) [4]. The experimental parameters that affected the extraction efficiency of the method such as pH, flow rate and volume of the sample solution, concentration of eluent, amount of adsorbent, and effect of common matrix ions were investigated and optimized. The adsorbed Cu ions on ACGS was eluted with 6 mL of 2 mol L-1 HCI solutions. The optimum pH value for quantitative sorption of Cu ions was found 7.5. Metal analyses were performed by the High Resolution- Continuum Source Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HR CS-FAAS). Developed method was successfully applied to some food and biological samples for determination of copper ions.

Abstract: Lithium and its compounds have been used many field of science and technology such as heat- resistant glass ,high strength-to-weight alloys used in aircraft, lithium-ion batteries, pyrotechnics, organic and polymer chemistry and neutron absorber [1]. Therefore, the elimination and determination of Li ions from food, enviromental by using removal and separation techniques are important to protect public health [2].

Layer-structure materials have attracted considerable interest for the removel, separation and preconcentration of trace metals in analytical and environmental chemistry. In the present work, we have developed a separation and preconcentration method for lithium ions from water samples using K-birnessite with Layer-structure material (KBRLSM) form. The experimental parameters that affected the extraction efficiency of the method such as pH, flow rate and volume of the sample solution, concentration of eluent, amount of adsorbent, effect of common matrix ions and capacity of adsorbent were investigated and optimized. The adsorbed Li ions on KBRLSM were eluted with 5 mL of 1 mol L-1 HCl solutions and their concentrations were determined by high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HR- CS FAAS). The adsorption isotherm studies indicate that the adsorption of Li ions follows both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacities(qmax) -1 - were estimated as 2.77 mg g . A constant of the energy (KL) for Li was calculated as 0.35 L g 1. The optimum pH value for quantitative sorption of Li ions was found between 5.0 and 7.0. The developed method was successfully applied to some water samples.

Abstract: In recent years, research has been accelerated to develop more environmentally friendly paint systems [1,2]. Seed oil based materials are alternatively selected for this. Seed oils are separated into different categories, among which are oils that dry, semi-dry and dry according to the number of unsaturated bonds in the fatty acid chain. The high number of unsaturated bonds in fatty acids makes it easier to form films when fatty acids come into contact with the atmosphere. Alkides used in paint production contain seed oils as reactive diluents in certain ratios [3-6]. In this study, groundnut oil, used as seed oil, was modified with Diels - Alder reactions with a dienophile species, methacryloxypropyl trimethoxyline (MAS), prior to incorporation into alkyd systems. The reaction takes place between a conjugated diene and dienophile. In the Diels-Alder reaction, 4 π diene and 2 π electrons are found in dienophile. As the resultant product is in a ring structure, the Diels-Alder reaction is called a cyclic addition reaction. The Diels alder reaction takes place as a result of the oligomerization of the alkyd or oils in the inert atmosphere for a long time. Diels Alder reactions can also be used to modify drying oils. In this case, the dienes may react with dienophiles. The aim of this modification process is to observe whether the reaction of the ground oil containing dien group with methaniloxypropyl trimethoxylan (MAS), a dienophile species, results in the formation of end-loop structures, and the availability of the new reactive diluent in the production of dye by Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (C-NMR, H-NMR). As a result of FT-IR and NMR studies, ring structures are formed and it is predicted that these products can be used in the production of paint by adding certain proportions into alkyd resin.

Abstract: Nicotinate is a very important molecule which has attracted much attention in terms of its wide range of applications. Especially the developments of the areas of the starting materials, reaction technology and the working-up to the final product are examined [1]. Methyl-5-bromo- 2-chloropyridine-3-carboxylate (M5B2C3C) molecule is also called Methyl 5-bromo-2 chloronicotinate. In this study the calculations related to spectroscopic and geometric properties of the title molecule were performed by B3LYP with 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. The cytotoxic effects of M5B2C3C on HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cells were evaluated by means of the Cell Proliferation Kit (XTT). In accordance with the operating instructions, XTT reagent was added after the cells were exposed to M5B2C3C, for 48 h. We considered cell viability as % 100 in the control group. The amount of formazan was found to be 496 nm with the aid of a microplate reader. IC50 values of M5B2C3C molecule was found 0,03M and 0,021M for Hela and MDA- MB-231 cancer cells, respectively. These results show that the M5B2C3C molecule has an effect on the metastatic and proliferative properties of cancer cells.

Abstract: With the increasing demand for electricity around the world and the expansion of cities and factories Led to an increase the emissions from the traditional generators that adversely affect the environment requires an alternative system to protect the environment and reduce generation losses due to high fuel prices and the need for workers to running these generators and maintenance costly. So it was used of renewable energies (solar and wind), but due to the limited energy generated depending on the presence of the sun and the oscillating wind to change its speed, the hybrid system by found the battery system with diesel materials is more efficient to provide power over 24 hours and to reduce operational losses because of High fuel prices, manual working and costly maintenance of the diesel generator, so require a professional and intelligent control and management system to obtain the maximum energy generated by the sun and wind and its management to supply the load and charging batteries to be used when need it and consideration the diesel generator is a state of emergency. We have designed a system to control and control all sources of energy professionally, which is shown in the simulation system which uses variable energy sources to simulate the professional practice (for the sun, wind, batteries and diesel generator) Where it can have dust, or a high or low temperature or the presence of clouds affecting Negatively on the amount of energy generated by solar energy, so we used a solar generator variable capacity we can change the value of energy generated at any moment of the simulation process and seeing results directly as well as for Variable wind turbines because of speed changing, And batteries that have variable capacity depending on the charging and discharging. For this reason, we used variable voltage power generators to simulate the reality professionally and the possibility of using the system practically directly, unlike the control systems used which use constant voltage sources (zero or maximum power).And because the amount generated by solar or wind energy changes at any moment, Simulation using a static source is therefore an unhealthy simulation and cannot be converted to practical work.

Abstract: A hybrid power system consist of photovoltaic panels, wind energy turbines, batteries and it is one of the solutions to the growing demand for energy and the lack of energy in some areas. The aim of this paper is to simulate and manage renewable energy based hybrid power control system. The energy management and control action for the control system is simulate using one of a PLC simulator. The emulation of the control system is carried out by means of Zeliosoft2 program. In addition this paper suggest a new way of hybrid power control system which aim to use sustainable energy sources like solar and wind when they are available. The target of this paper will be achieved by layout of a control system which use the renewable energies at the time of their presence and if there is an extra energy, the control system should save it in the batteries, because the best usage of primary energy sources will raise the level of supply reliability and meet sustained load demands during varying natural states.

Kayseri University, Vocational School, Department of Motor Vehicles and Transportation Technologies, TR-38280 Kayseri, Turkey

Abstract: Researchers have been endeavouring for recent years to develop new alloys which are stronger, stiffer, more ductile and lighter than existing alloys which can be used at high temperatures. One way of achieving this purpose is to use the rapid solidification production technique to synthesize the fine-grained microstructure and obtain a large fraction of phases in solidified condition. Rapidly solidified Al-10Si hypoeutectic alloys were produced by melt-spinning technique. The phase characteristics was identified by X-ray diffractometry. The microstructure of the rapidly solidified sample were determined by scanning electron microscopy. The microhardness features of the rapidly solidified sample were tested by Vickers microhardness test. The microhardness values of the disc side and free side samples are 162.7 and 157.4 kg/mm2.

Abstract: In this study, we have performed the dipole polarizability and the oscillator strength for the ground state of hydrogen atom confined at the center of spherical box. The results show that the dot size and the confining potential have a great influence on the polarizability and the oscillator strength. While the static dipole polarizabilities increases until a certain dot radius, the oscillator strength decreases with the increase of the dot radius.

Abstract: The structural, electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of SrxCa1-xO, BaxSr1-xO and BaxCa1-xO ternary alloys in NaCl phase were studied using pseudo-potential plane-wave method within the density functional theory. We modeled the alloys at some selected compositions with ordered structures described in terms of periodically repeated supercells. The dependence of the lattice parameters, band gaps, dielectric constants, refractive indices, Debye temperatures, mixing entropies and heat capacities on the composition x were analyzed for x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1. The lattice constant for SrxCa1-xO and BaxSr1-xO exhibits a marginal deviation from the Vegard’s law, while the BaxCa1-xO lattice constant exhibits an appreciable upward bowing. A strong deviation of the bulk modulus from linear concentration dependence was observed for the three alloys. The microscopic origins of the gap bowing were detailed and explained. The composition dependence of the dielectric constant and refractive index was studied using different models. The thermodynamic stability of these alloys was investigated by calculating the phase diagram. The thermal effect on some macroscopic properties was investigated using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. There is a good agreement between our results and the available experimental data for the binary compounds which may be a support for the results of the ternary alloys reported here for the first time.

Abstract: The present work aims to investigate the stabilities of the different compounds involved in the (Ag-Sc) system. It will be mainly focusing on the determination of the ground state line of this system. The calculations are based on the functional density theory (DFT) implemented in the Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP) code which makes it possible to calculate the energies of formation of the pure elements and three intermetallic compounds: AgSc, Ag2Sc, Ag4Sc. The VASP code allows to optimize the parameters a, b and c, using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). A study of convergence has been done for the plane-wave cutoff energy and allowed to fix the Ecut at 300 eV. The results obtained are very encouraging in comparison with the work obtained experimentally.

Muradiye Şahin, İlkay Hilal Gübbük

Department of Chemistry, Selcuk University, Campus, 42075, Konya, Turkey [email protected]

Abstract: In this study, we developed ginger/silver nanoparticles (Gng-AgNPs) and evaluated their potential to be degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene Blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO) dye. Toxic chemicals are used in several of the processes for production of nanoparticles, either in the form of reducing agents to reduce various metal salts to their corresponding nanoparticles, or as stabilizing agents to prevent agglomeration of nanoparticles. These compounds are highly dangerous to organisms and to the environment, and due care must be exercised in their proper handling and disposal of toxic chemicals.

Various herbs and plant sources occlude powerful antioxidants that are present as phytochemical constituents in seeds, stems, fruits and leaves. These naturally occurring antioxidants have existed in the human food chain for thousands of years and are known to be non-toxic to living organisms and to the environment. The synthesis of metallic nanoparticle using plant extracts as the reducing agents is one of the most widely used green methods. Dyes are the major effluents from various industries such as paper, plastic, leather, food, and textiles that cause significant pollution. There are several methods in the literature such as chemical reduction, catalytic degradation, adsorption and coagulation for the safe disposal of these compound. Among them, the chemical reduction of organic molecules using a strong reducing agent in the presence of noble metals such as Pt, Au, Ag and Cu is one of the famous removal methods in this field. For example, ginger was used to produce silver nanoparticles and the synthesized nanoparticles were found to have superior catalytic property to organic molecules degradation. In this study, using ginger extract at room temperature (25oC) characterized using spectroscopic techniques and the potential of Gng-AgNPs with regard to the catalytic degradation of organic dyes (e.g., RhB, MB, MO) was evaluated in the presence of NaBH4.

The prepared Gng-AgNPs was characterized using Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT- IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX). The synthesized nanoparticles have been successfully applied as a catalyst in the degradation of RhB, MB and MO by NaBH4.

Abstract: The objective of this work is the thermodynamic modeling of the Ga-Sc binary system by two methods: CALPHAD (Calculation of phase diagrams) and first principles calculations.

The Calphad method is a very important method for modeling the thermodynamic properties of phase diagrams of multi-component systems. This method is based on a semi-empirical approach by modeling the Gibbs energy of the different phases existing in a system [1]. Therefore reliable experimental data are needed for the description of the thermodynamic properties of the phases. The basic principles of this method consist in harmonizing a whole of this experimental and theoretical information. The theoretical thermodynamic data are obtained by first principles calculation methods. The enthalpies of formations of the defined compounds which precede the calculation of phase diagram are obtained by a computation of first principle based on quantum simulations.

The Ga-Sc system phase diagram contains five defined compounds: Ga3Sc, Ga2Sc, GaSc, Ga4Sc5 and Ga3Sc5. Its enthalpy of formation is calculated using the Vasp code based on the Generalized Gradient Approximation “GGA” [2]. The CALPHAD evaluation of the Ga-Sc system was then performed considering the calculated enthalpies of formation and the experimental phase equilibrium data. The liquid phase was modeled by the Redlich-Kister polynomial. The results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental results [3].

Abstract: The electronic band structure and magnetic properties of Ti2ReGe full-Heusler compound is studied using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method. The ferromagnetic (FM) phase in Cu2MnAl type structure have been found energetically more stable. In this phase, the equilibrium lattice constant is 6.26 Å. The valance band maximum (VBM) was located -0.17 eV at Γ point and the conducting band minimum (CBM) placed on 0.20 eV at L point. Therefore, there is an energy gap of 0.37 eV around Fermi level. As a result of calculations, Ti2ReGe compound is half-metallic ferromagnet within 1 µB/f.u.

Abstract: The concept of basis set superposition error (BSSE) has a vital role especially when weakly bound complexes interact with each other. One of the popular way to correct this BSSE is calculating the binding energy of monomer in full dimer basis set which is called Boys- Bernardi CP-Correction method [1]. However, there is a discussion going on whether CP- Correction improves the results compared to benchmark results [2-3]. It is observed that CP- Correction method does not always improve the binding energy results [4]. Difference between CP-corrected and uncorrected binding energy determines whether CP-Correction Method should be applied or not. The expected energy difference should be less than 1 kcal/mol (43 meV). So in this study using pbe0 method we have tested the efficiency of CP-Correction Method for Ge2, As2 and Se2.

Effect of Inner Shell and Diffuse Functions on Binding Energy of Cu2

Şule Uğura, Salih Akbudakb

aDepartment of Physics, Faculty of Science, Gazi University 06500 Ankara, Turkey bDepartment of Physics, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Adiyaman University, 02100 Adiyaman,Turkey

Abstract: We have systematically investigated the effect of inner shell on binding energy of Cu2 using cc-pw-CVnZ-DK & cc-pVnZ and aug-cc-pw-CVnZ & aug-cc-pVnZ (n= T, Q, 5) where “n” is maximum angular momentum number in basis set. For all electronic structure calculations we used frozen core RPA@PBE method. Obtained results showed that effect of inner shell is more evident when diffuse functions are used. If we use cc-pV5Z-DK basis set instead of cc- pwCV5Z-DK basis set, we get a binding energy that is only 2.5 meV lower. We can also conclude that as the number of “n” (cardinal number) in cc-pwCVnZ-DK and aug-pwCVnZ- DK increases the effect of inner shell decreases.

To get an insight about the effect of diffuse functions, we used aug-cc-pVnZ (n = T, Q, 5) and cc-pVnZ (n = T, Q, 5) basis sets. Since aug-cc-pVXZ basis sets are called diffuse functions, by taking the difference between aug-cc-pVnZ and cc-pVnZ we obtained the effect of diffuse functions on binding energy. The energy differences were 77.8, 116 and 207,6 (meV) respectively for TZ, QZ and 5Z basis sets. So we can conclude that as n (cardinal number) increase the effect of diffuse functions become more visible. Thus, for higher angular momentum numbers (large basis sets), it is better to use basis functions with diffuse functions.

Abstract: Glutathione S-transferases are detoxification enzymes and catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione (GSH) to a variety of xenobiotics1. The present work describes the molecular interaction of Anonaine metabolite of Annona muricata with Drosophila melanogaster Glutathione S-Transferase isozyme 6 and 7, using an molecular docking analysis softwares, Autodock Vina and VMD 2,3. The 3D molecular structure of Anonaine were retrieved from chemical databases namely PubChem. The crystal structure of Glutathione S-Transferase isozyme 6 and 7 were retrieved from RCSB Protein Data Bank. The docking results calculated by the Vina for Anonaine- Glutathione S-Transferase isozyme 6, and Anonaine- Glutathione S- Transferase isozyme 7 complexes were -8.1 kcal/mol, -9.2 kcal/mol, respectively. Results displayed that Anonaine showed a high affinity towards Glutathione S-Transferase isozyme 7. Overall, this study evidenced for the first time, Anonaine may have chemoprotective role or may have oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms on D. melanogaster. Further experimental work is needed in order to clarify the exact molecular mechanism underlying this study.

Abstract: The effect of spin-orbit coupling on the atomic and electronic structures of clean W(110)- (1×1) surface and a monolayer Sn deposited W(110)-(1×1) surface are studied using the density functional theory. While the relaxed atomic geometry remains unaffected, there is drastic change in the surface electronic states for both the clean and covered surfaces with the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling in these d-type Rashba systems. For the clean W(110) surface, we have calculated splittings of up to 0.10 eV and 0.30 eV for two of the W-atom d-derived surface states. For the Sn/W(110) surface, we have calculated splittings of up to 0.10 eV and 0.52 eV for two surface states characterised mainly by W d-orbitals. In the presence of spin-orbit interaction, this feature is maintained for W(110) but is significantly altered for Sn/W(110).

Abstract: In the present study, we synthesized a ZnO sample, with high crystallinity, using a wet chemical method and characterized its crystal structure using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique in more detail. The average crystallite size value for the as-synthesized ZnO was approximately calculated to be 33 nm and 47 nm from the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall methods, respectively. The as-observed XRD pattern of ZnO sample is in a perfect harmony with the standard one reported in the literature for this structure. The parameters of the anisotropic energy density, lattice strain, lattice parameters and Zn-O bond length are also in a good agreement with the literature.

The use of silicon carbide (SiC) crystal has increased rapidly in the recent years because of its potential applications for microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, Au/P3HT:PCBM(1:1)/n-6H-SiC/Ag Schottky diode were prepared. The current- voltage (I-V) characteristics of this Schottky diode were investigated and analyzed in the temperature range of 300-375 K. The barrier height and ideality factor derived by using thermionic emission theory are found temperature dependent. The barrier height (ΦB) and ideality factor (n) were calculated 0.75 eV and 4.75 at 300K, respectively. It was observed that the barrier height increases and ideality factor decreases with increasing temperature. The series resistance (RS) of the diode were calculated using Cheung’s and Norde methods. The RS values were found 492.06 Ω and 393.88 Ω at 300 K, respectively. Results show that series resistance decrease with increasing temperature.

Abstract : Thermodynamic modeling of the Si-W and Ti-B systems was carried out by means of the CALPHAD (calculation of phase diagrams) method. The liquid phase and the intermetallic compounds in the two systems are taken into consideration in this optimization. The substitutional solution model was used to describe the liquid phase. The compounds were treated as stoichiometric phases. A consistent set of thermodynamic parameters has been obtained. The optimized phase diagram and thermodynamic properties are presented and compared with other calculated and experimental data obtained from literature.

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze dielectric properties of Al/N-T Nft/p-Si/Al Schottky barrier diode (SBD). N-Substituted 1,8-naphthalimide thin films deposited on a p–Si substrate by spin coating method and annealed at ~200 ◦C for 60 s in atmosphere. Al ohmic contact and Al Schottky contact were obtained with reactive magnetron sputtering. The capacitance (C) and conductance (G/ ) measurements were performed in the frequency range of 1 kHz–5 MHz at room temperature. From these measurements, the dielectric parameters such as complex dielectric permittivity ( * ), dielectric loss tangent ( ta n ), ac electrical conductivity ( ac ) and complex modulus (M*) of the device were calculated. The frequency dependence of C and G is attributed to the presence interface states [1, 2]. The value of  ' and '' decreases with increasing frequency. On the other hand, the value of ac conductivity increases with increasing frequency [3, 4].

Abstract: In this work we fabricated Al/p-Si/Al, Al/N-F Nft/p-Si/Al and Al/N-T Nft/p-Si/Al Schottky barrier diodes. N-Substituted 1,8-naphthalimide thin films deposited on a p–Si substrate by spin coating method. FTIR spectroscopy was utilized to examine the difference between Al/p-Si/Al Schottky diode and Al/N-F Nft/p-Si/Al, Al/N-T Nft/p-Si/Al organic Schottky diodes. XRD measurements were performed to obtain information on the crystal structure of diodes. Aluminum oxide peaks at 2θ=35.15 and 37.33, Si’ s characteristic peak at 2θ=69.13, "N-F Nft" and "N-T Nft" groups which are amorphous at 2θ=17.5-22.5 peaks [1] were observed. SEM micrographs were taken to obtain information about the surface morphology of the prepared diodes [2]. Al/p-Si/Al has a homogeneous surface morphology. Furan or thiophene functionalized naphthalimide diodes have disappeared homogeneity in the surface morphology and have resulted in stacking in some places.

Abstract: Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) can be performed both in a controlled and livingmanner, depending on the monomer and initiator/catalyst system[1]. Aliphatic polyesters, synthesized via (ROP) of lactones and lactides, are of significant interest owing to good mechanical properties, hydrolyzability and biocompatibility [2,3]. In this work, a series of poly(ε-caprolactone)s(2,3) and poly(L-lactide)s(4,5) different arm length were synthesized through ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone(ε-CL) and L- lactide(L-LA) with 2-thiophene ethanol (1) as initiator, Sn(Oct)2 as a catalyst under inert atmosphere,in bulk at 115 °C and in toluene at 120 °C, respectively. The route followed during synthesis of polymers is given in Scheme 1. The synthesized polymers were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectral data and GPC technique.

Abstract: Metal-semiconductor (MS) structures play a big role in constructing some devices in semicanducter technology (1). 6H-SiC with a favor wide-band gap, 2,9 eV is more suitable than silicon in the electro-optic devices.(2). Some polimer materials, for example P3HT and PCBM is important materials for low-cost of solar cells (3). In this study, Au/P3HT:PCBM(1:1)/n-6H- SiC/Ag (1500 cycle) Schottky diode was produced with spin coating method. The current- voltage (I-V) characteristics of diode were investigated in the temperature range from 300 K to 375 K. The ideality factor and barrier height values of the diode were determined thermionic emission theory, Cheung’s and Norde’s methodes. These parameters are found temperature dependent The ideality factor (n) and barier height (ΦB) were calculated 4,66 and 0,838 eV at 300 K respectively. It was observed that the ideality factor decreases and barier height increases with increasing temperature. The series resistance (RS) of the diode were calculated using Cheung’s and Norde methods. The RS values were found 224,08 Ω and 198,45 Ω at 300 K, respectively. Results show that the series resistance varies depending on temperature. Acknowledgment The authors would like to thank Assoc.
