Large-scale semi-empirical pseudopotential electronic structure of self-assembled ingaas quantum dots
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The so-called second quantum revolution emerged at the beginning of the second millennium, opening up a path to realization of spin-qubit-based quantum computing by means of controlling and protecting quantum coherent ... -
Variational study of interacting su-schrieffer-heeger model
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)The interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with nearest neighbor interaction in one dimension at half-filling is studied. To obtain ground state wave function, the Baeriswyl variational wave function is extended to account ... -
Electrostatic correlations in inhomogeneous electrolytes
(Bilkent University, 2018-08)The field-theoretic approach is used to obtain the self-consistent equations for inhomogeneuos symmetric electrolytes. The perturbative Green's function method is used to solve these self-consistent equations for an ... -
Gravitational waves from binary black hole systems in inspiralling phase
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Binary black hole systems have three phases: inspiralling, merger and ringdown phases. This thesis is a review of methods developed to study the inspiralling phase analytically. Those methods include post Minkowskian ... -
Hyperfine and electric quadrupolar interaction-driven loschmidt echo in nanoscale nuclear spin baths
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Environmental dynamics in solid state matrix is of much importance for quantum information processing and storage purposes. Here, we first give a basic recipe to get Loschmidt echo (LE) which is a measure of decoherence ... -
Sonic Hawking Radiation from a blackhole laser
(Bilkent University, 2018-06)The quantum thermal radiation from a black hole (BH) known as “Hawking Radiation” or “Black Hole Evaporation” results from studying quantum fields in the curved space-time of the horizon of a BH. Experimentally, the ... -
Investigation of optical residual absorption in graphene
(Bilkent University, 2018-03)Graphene, a 2-dimensional crystal of carbon, can absorb 2.3% of light over a very broad spectrum. Doped graphene, however has a gap in optical absorption due to the Pauli blocking principle. For doped graphene, the interband ... -
Modeling of semiconductor devices based on quantum wells: quantum cascade laser as an example
(Bilkent University, 2018-02)It has been two decades since the quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) have emerged in 1994 for the first time. As time goes on, QCLs reach to higher points scientifically and economically and the usage of QCLs devices continually ... -
Model description of friction on planar and buckled two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2018-01)The law of friction has been known since the 18th century but yet, the development on the tribology field was established in the last decades mainly by the invention of frictional force microscope (FFM), which enabled ... -
Tight binding modeling of two dimensional and quasi-two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2017-10)Since the advent of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) materials have consistently been studied owing to their exceptional electronic and optical properties. While graphene is completely two-dimensional in nature, its other ... -
Energy and angular momentum transfer with circular Rydberg states
(Bilkent University, 2017-08)Circular states belong to a class of Rydberg states having maximum angular momentum. These states, compared to other Rydberg states, have longer lifetimes, and in the classical limit resemble circular Bohr-like orbits. ... -
Analysis of the magnetic translation group and investigation of a one-dimensional topological model
(Bilkent University, 2017-08)The periodicity of a space lattice in presence of a uniform magnetic eld is preserved. During this thesis, we will study a set of modi ed translation operators which commute with the e ective Hamiltonian of an electron ... -

Multi-exciton states in flexible Rydberg aggregates
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)Flexible Rydberg aggregates, assemblies of highly excited atoms, provide a platform to investigate quantum phenomena like energy transport and conical intersections. This can be achieved by doping the aggregate with an ... -
Braph : a toolbox developed for brain graph analysis of various imaging modalities
(Bilkent University, 2017-03)Complex systems, like the human brain, are composed of a huge number of interacting elements showing complex patterns. Graph theory provides a mathematical toolbox for investigating the role of each element in these systems. ... -
Calculation of masses of dark solitons in 1D Bose-Einstein condensates using Gelfand Yaglom method
(Bilkent University, 2016-11)Nonlinear excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) play important role in understanding the dynamics of BECs. Solitons, shape preserving wave packets, are the most fundamental nonlinear excitations of BECs. They ... -
Non-boltzmann stationary distributions and non-equilibrium relations in active baths
(Bilkent University, 2016-10)Most natural and engineered processes, such as biomolecular reactions, protein folding, and population dynamics, occur far from equilibrium and, therefore, can- not be treated within the framework of classical equilibrium ... -
