Article Echoes From the Event Horizon of a Superfluid Vortex(IOP Publishing, 2022) Güven, Kaan; Demirkaya, BetülA vortex formed in the superfluid state of a Bose-Einstein condensate may exhibit superradiance a la blackhole for radially propagating acoustic fluctuations. The analogy is usually based on the so-called draining bathtub model of the vortex, in which an event horizon and ergosphere emerges when the radial velocity of the superfluid exceeds the propagation speed of sound in the condensate. The acoustic fluctuations mimic a massless scalar field in the curved Lorentzian space-time of the vortex and are governed by the Klein-Gordon wave equation. One common main approximation is the constant background density of the superfluid even in the presence of the vortex. This sets a constant relativistic sound speed. However, the vortex state solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation clearly shows that both the density and the speed of sound vary radially near the vortex core, where the event horizon and thus the superradiance will take place. What changes would this complex interdependence bring to the formulation and to the outcomes of the superradiance based on constant density approximation? Here, we recount this question posed under the guidance of Prof. Tekin Dereli and present recent results. We show that the self-consistent density modifies the amplification dynamics near the event horizon significantly, thereby altering the temporal and spectral fingerprint of the superradiance of the vortex.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Photometric Multi-Site Campaign on Massive B Stars in the Open Cluster Chi Persei (ngc 884)(IOP Publishing, 2008) Saesen, S.; Pigulski, A.; Carrier, F.; De Ridder, J.; Aerts, C.; Handler, G.; Drummond, R.; Kalomeni, BelindaIn 2005 a photometric observation campaign started on the open cluster chi Persei, involving 13 telescopes spread over the whole northern hemisphere. After two years we gathered almost 1200 hours of data. We present here preliminary results on the variability search, especially from the 60-cm telescope in Bialkow (Poland), which show seven confirmed beta Cephei stars, four candidate B-type pulsators and other interesting variable stars.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental and Density Functional Theory Study on Humidity Sensing Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine (cupc)(IOP Publishing, 2019) Farzaneh, Amir; Esrafili, Mehdi D.; Okur, SalihThe quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was applied to investigate humidity sensing properties of a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film prepared by drop cast method. The humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of (CuPc) thin film was evaluated. The QCM and electrical measurements results showed that humidity sensing properties of CuPc is very sensitive to humidity changes and reversible adsorption/desorption performance which is an indicative of a good humidity sensor even at room temperature. Reproducible experimental results indicated that CuPc thin films have an abundant potential for humidity sensing applications at ambient temperature. According to the first-principle density functional theory calculations, the promising humidity sensing properties of CuPc can be attributed to the considerable charge transfer from the water molecule into Cu atom.
