Josephson effect in hybrid superconductor-normal metal structures

Ankara : Department of Physics and the Institute of Engineering and Science of Bilkent Univ., 2000.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2000.Includes bibliographical references leaves 67-69.The clean SNS junction, with a phase difference x across the normal metal barrier and without Fermi level mismatch between the components, is modeled by a step like pair potential. The quasiclassical equations are obtained from the Gorkov equations by the elimination of crystal momenta and are valid in the existence of only the off-diagonal potential(pair potential). Then for the SNS junction, the quasiclassical Green functions are obtained. At zero temperature, in the long barrier limit(d ^ ^o)> the current is found to have a sawtooth dependence on the phase difference, the amplitude of which is inversely proportional to the thickness of the normal layer. At finite temperatures in the limits d and Tc T, the current is found to have exponential dependence on the thickness of the normal layer, T exp(—d/^7’) sin y, .where = vfI2ttT. An extension of single SNS structures is the periodic SNS structure which may as well exhibit Josephson effect. It is simulated by a periodic step-wise pair potential, where the phase of the pair potential changes by some constant value in subsequent superconducting islands. Bogoliubov equations in the semicla.ssical limit are employed, yielding the density of states(DOS). In the DOS, there appears some forbidden energy regions, which point out to a band structure.Çakır, ÖzgürM.S

Robust entanglement in atomic systems

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Various models for generation of robust atomic entangled states and their implementation with current accessible technologies are proposed and worked out. Deterministic creation of long living Bell states with respect to metastable states in three-level Λ type systems is studied. Strong atom-field coupling drives atoms into a transient entangled state followed by an irreversible evolution towards a long-living maximally entangled state featuring robustness against dipole-allowed transitions. First, generation of pairwise atomic entanglement in cavities in ideal case is discussed, extension to multi-party entangled states is made. Observation of photons emitted from the system signals the generation of a Bell state. The interaction of multi-level atoms with body-assisted electro-magnetic field in the presence of dispersing and absorbing media is studied and these results are applied to the description of a pair of Λ type atoms passing by a microsphere. Microspheres give rise to resonances of well defined height and width with easy access to strong and weak coupling regimes for atom-field interaction, thus enabling realization of the proposed scheme of ”robust entanglement of three-level atoms”. Even in realistic settings it is possible to obtain quite high amount of entanglement at spatially well separated distances. Then we focus on steady state entanglement between atomic dipoles. It is shown that two dipoles in free space driven by a classical driving field become entangled in the steady state. The crucial point is that, this entanglement is irrespective of the initial state and may be preserved as long as the engineered system is kept intact. Absorption effects in real cavities are studied, and an input-output relation is formulated in the presence of a source in the cavity. Extraction of non-classical photon states from a cavity is investigated.Çakır, ÖzgürPh.D

Quantum dynamics in electron-nuclei coupled spin system in quantum dots: Bunching, revival, and quantum correlation in electron-spin measurements

We investigate quantum dynamics in the electron-nuclei coupled spin system in quantum dots and clarify the fundamental features of quantum correlation induced via successive electron spin measurements. This quantum correlation leads to interesting phenomena such as the bunching of outcomes in the electron spin measurements and the revival of an arbitrary initial electron spin state. The nuclear spin system is also affected by the quantum correlation and is in fact squeezed via conditional measurements or postselection. This squeezing is confirmed by calculating the increase in the purity of the nuclear spin system. Thus the successive electron spin measurements provide a probabilistic method to squeeze the nuclear spin system. These new features are predicted not only for the case of a double quantum dots occupied by a pair of electrons but also for the case of a single quantum dot occupied by a single electron or a pair of electrons.Comment: 21 pages, to be published in Phys.

Quantum Dynamics of Electron-Nuclei Coupled System in Quantum Dots

We have investigated the dynamics of the electron-nuclei coupled system in quantum dots. The bunching of results of the electron spin measurements and the revival in the conditional probabilities are salient features of the nuclear spin memory. The underlying mechanism is the squeezing of the nuclear spin state and the correlations between the successive electron spin measurements. Further we make a proposal for the preparation and detection of superposition states of nuclear spins merely relying on electron spin measurements. For unpolarized, completely random nuclear spin state one can still trace the quantum interference effects. We discuss the realization of these schemes for electron spins on both single and double QDs.Comment: 4 pages,3 figure

Do the Age of Implantation, the Widths of Internal Acoustic Canal and Bony Cochlear Nerve Canal Affect the Auditory Performance of Primary School Children with Bilateral Cochlear Implants?

Objective:To reveal the correlation between implantation age, the internal acoustic canal (IAC) width, bony cochlear nerve canal (BCNC) width, and auditory performance in primary school children with bilateral cochlear implantation (CI).Methods:Preoperative IAC and BCNC widths of 57 pre-lingually deaf children aged 7–11 years who had previously undergone bilateral CI in our institution were reviewed and cut-off values were calculated. Twenty-four patients who had additional problems and could not attend school and those who refused to participate in the study were excluded. The remaining 33 were invited to the hospital, and their speech perception tests, and language development scores were analyzed (16 of 33 patients had been operated on before the age of 24 months).Results:The cut-off values calculated from the 114 ears of 57 patients were 3.86 mm for IAC width and 1.56 mm for BCNC width. The auditory performances of the 33 patients after CI were not significantly different in the narrow and normal width groups. However, speech perception test results, and language development scores of patients implanted before the age of 24 months were significantly higher.Conclusion:There are some studies showing that children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss have narrower IAC and BCNC widths. However, we concluded that the widths of the IAC and the bone cochlear nerve canal did not affect auditory performance. We found that implantation age is the single most important determinant of speech-language development after CI

Factors Affecting Optimal Titration Pressure of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Objective: To assess the effects of anatomical, clinical parameters, and pulmonary respiratory function on the therapeutic titration pressure of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Methods: The study comprised 41 OSAS patients whose optimum CPAP titration pressures were measured. Each patient underwent an otorhinolaryngologic and thoracic examination, and data was recorded for height, weight, body mass index, neck-waist circumferences, Mallampati classification, tonsillar hypertrophy, hypopharyngeal collapse, soft palate-tongue base obstruction scores, peak nasal inspiratory flow and acoustic rhinometry measures, and CPAP device therapeutic pressures. Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, FEV1/FVC ratio and peak expiratory flow values were noted.Results: Median CPAP optimal pressure cut-off value was determined as 9 mmH2O. Statistical analysis was made in two groups as CPAP titration optimal pressure ≤9 and >9 mmH2O. In the optimal pressure >9 group, neck and waist circumferences, hypopharyngeal collapse score, retropalatal and retrolingual lateral wall collapse scores were significantly higher (p<0.05). In multivariate and univariate model analysis, neck and waist circumferences, hypopharyngeal collapse score, retropalatal and retrolingual lateral wall collapse scores were observed to be significant in predicting high and low pressures in univariate model.Conclusion: For the prediction of optimal CPAP titration pressure in OSAS treatment, wide neck and waist circumferences, high hypopharyngeal collapse score and retropalatal and retrolingual lateral wall collapse grades may be determinative
