The microstructural, topographic, optical, and electrical features of fluorine-doped TO(FTO) films are investigated as functions of Pr and Ta dopant concentrations. The x-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements reveal that all deposited films show polycrystalline tin oxide crystal property. FTO film has(200) preferential orientation, but this orientation changes to(211) direction with Pr and Ta doping ratio increasing. Atomic force microscopy(AFM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analyses show that all films have uniform and homogenous nanoparticle distributions. Furthermore, morphologies of the films depend on the ratio between Pr and Ta dopants. From ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis) spectrophotometer measurements, it is shown that the transmittance value of FTO film decreases with Pr and Ta doping elements increasing. The band gap value of FTO film increases only at 1 at.% Ta doping level, it drops off with Pr and Ta doping ratio increasing at other doped FTO films. The electrical measurements indicate that the sheet resistance value of FTO film initially decreases with Pr and Ta doping ratio decreasing and then it increases with Pr and Ta doping ratio increasing. The highest value of figure of merit is obtained for 1 at.% Ta- and Pr-doped FTO film. These results suggest that Pr- and Ta-doped FTO films may be appealing candidates for TCO applications.展开更多

The study was conducted at Agricultural Research and Application Center of the Faculty of Agriculture in Igdir University in 2013. In the experiment, eight levels of fertilizers: 0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 60.0 and 70.0 kg N/ha per month were applied in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) during the sixth growing season. A randomized complete block with three replications was used as the experimental design. Nitrogen application affected plant height, green grass yield, plant covering rate, canopy color and turfgrass quality values of perennial ryegrass positively. In both monthly and as the average of nitrogen application, times of application (spring, summer and fall) caused the most uniform turfgrass quality and establishment. Results indicated that although a significant impact was on the character investigated, such as the leaf length, green grass yield, plant cover ratio, canopy color and turfgrass quality, the doses of nitrogen fertilizer have created close to each other in groups. In the stand point of view of all characters, N1, N2 and N3 were located in first group, N4 and N5 in the second group, N6 and N7 in the third group, expect for control (N0). It can be concluded that 40.0-50.0 kg N/ha per month may be more suitable to be used in ryegrass production in the landscape.展开更多

We obtain the expressions of these quantities as functions of thickness, concentration and nonparabolicity parameter. The influence of nonparabolicity is studied for degenerate and non-degenerate electron gases, and it is shown that nonparabolicity changes the character of thickness and the concentration dependence of thermopower, in-plane effective mass and Fermi energy. Moreover, the magnitudes of these quantities significantly increase with respect to the nonparabolicity parameter in the case of strong nonparabolicity in nano-films. The concentration depen- dence is also studied, and it is shown that thermopower increases when the concentration decreases. These results are in agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

These parameters are acquired by use of impedance spectroscopy measurements at frequencies ranging from 10 k Hz to 1 MHz and the direct current(DC) bias voltages in a range from-2 V to +2 V at room temperature are used. The main electrical parameters and dielectric parameters,such as dielectric constant(ε"), dielectric loss(ε"), loss tangent(tan δ), the real and imaginary parts of electric modulus(M and M), and alternating current(AC) electrical conductivity(σ) are affected by changing voltage and frequency. The characterizations show that some main electrical parameters usually decrease with increasing frequency because charge carriers at surface states have not enough time to fallow an external AC signal at high frequencies, and all dielectric parameters strongly depend on the voltage and frequency especially in the depletion and accumulation regions. Consequently, it can be concluded that interfacial polarization and interface charges can easily follow AC signal at low frequencies.展开更多

Themaximum exergy point in the turbojet engine is found for the combustor in which C11H23(Jet-A1) fuel is combusted with air, while the minimum one is determined for the aircompressor head where the free air enters. The combustion chamber has the maximum fuel,product and irreversibility rates and the air compressor has the minimum fuel and product ex-ergy values, while the minimum irreversibility is found for the turbine. Maximum improvementpotential rate is found for the combustion chamber (5141.27 kW), while minimum rate is deter-mined for the turbine of system (6.95 kW). Also, the turbine component has the highest exergyefficiency (97.20%) due to its expansion process, while combustion chamber component hasthe lowest exergy efficiency (55.39%) due to low efficient combustion process of the fuel.Furthermore, the mexogenous exergy destructions from maximum to minimum are found for the combustion chamber, air compressor and gas turbine units, respectively. Considering exergydynamic analysis, the mexogenous exergy destruction rates of the combustion chamber, aircompressor and gas turbine are found as 184.4 kW, 103.97 kW and 9.99 kW, respectively.Considering all results, the combustion chamber is the primer component to be handled for bet-ter efficiency and improvement.展开更多
