Boundary element method for optical force calibration in microfluidic dual-beam optical trap
(SPIE, 2015) Solmaz, Mehmet E.; Çetin, Barbaros; Baranoglu, B.; Serhatloglu, Murat; Bıyıklı, Necmi
The potential use of optical forces in microfluidic environment enables highly selective bio-particle manipulation. Manipulation could be accomplished via trapping or pushing a particle due to optical field. Empirical determination of optical force is often needed to ensure efficient operation of manipulation. The external force applied to a trapped particle in a microfluidic channel is a combination of optical and drag forces. The optical force can be found by measuring the particle velocity for a certain laser power level and a multiplicative correction factor is applied for the proximity of the particle to the channel surface. This method is not accurate especially for small microfluidic geometries where the particle size is in Mie regime and is comparable to channel cross section. In this work, we propose to use Boundary Element Method (BEM) to simulate fluid flow within the micro-channel with the presence of the particle to predict drag force. Pushing experiments were performed in a dual-beam optical trap and particlea's position information was extracted. The drag force acting on the particle was then obtained using BEM and other analytical expressions, and was compared to the calculated optical force. BEM was able to predict the behavior of the optical force due to the inclusion of all the channel walls. © 2015 SPIE.

Collective modes in a bilayer dipolar fermi gas and the dissipationless drag effect
(Springer, 2013) Tanatar, Bilal
We consider the collective modes of a bilayer dipolar Fermi system in which the particles interact via long range (∼1/r 3) interaction. Assuming that each layer has a background flow which varies little and that the dynamics of the superfluid near T=0 is the same as that of a normal fluid, we obtain the dispersion relations for the collective modes in the presence of background flow. Decomposing the background flow into two parts, the center-of-mass flow and counterflow, we focus on the properties of the counterflow. We first find an estimate of the change in the zero-point energy ΔE ZP due to counterflow for a unit area of bilayer. Combining this with the free energy F of the system and taking the partial derivatives with respect to background velocities in the layers, we determine the current densities which reveal the fact that current in one layer does not only depend on the velocity in the same layer but also on the velocity of the other layer. This is the drag effect and we calculate the drag coefficient.

Coulomb drag effect in parallel cylindrical quantum wires
(Pergamon Press, 1996) Tanatar, Bilal
We study the Coulomb drag rate for electrons in two parallel quantum wires. The double-quantum wire structure is modeled for a GaAs material with cylindrical wires having infinite potential barriers. The momentum transfer rate between the wires (Coulomb drag effect) is calculated as a function of temperature for several wire separation distances. We employ the full wave vector and frequency dependent random-phase approximation (RPA) at finite temperature to describe the effective interwire Coulomb interaction. We find that the drag rate at high temperatures (i.e., T ≥ EF/2) is dominated by the collective modes (plasmons) of the system similar to the case in double-well structures. Including the local-field effects in an approximate way we estimate the importance of intrawire correlations to be significant. Copyright © 1996 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Drag effect in double-layer dipolar fermi gases
(IOP, 2014) Tanatar, Bilal; Renklioğlu, Başak; Öktel, M. Özgür
We consider two parallel layers of two-dimensional spin-polarized dipolar Fermi gas without any tunneling between the layers. The effective interactions describing screening and correlation effects between the dipoles in a single layer (intra-layer) and across the layers (interlayer) are modeled within the Hubbard approximation. We calculate the rate of momentum transfer between the layers when the gas in one layer has a steady flow. The momentum transfer induces a steady flow in the second layer which is assumed initially at rest. This is the drag effect familiar from double-layer semiconductor and graphene structures. Our calculations show that the momentum relaxation time has temperature dependence similar to that in layers with charged particles which we think is related to the contributions from the collective modes of the system.

Impurity coupled to an artificial magnetic field in a Fermi gas in a ring trap
(American Physical Society, 2015) Ünal, F. N.; Hetényi, B.; Oktel, M. Ö.
The dynamics of a single impurity interacting with a many-particle background is one of the central problems of condensed-matter physics. Recent progress in ultracold-atom experiments makes it possible to control this dynamics by coupling an artificial gauge field specifically to the impurity. In this paper, we consider a narrow toroidal trap in which a Fermi gas is interacting with a single atom. We show that an external magnetic field coupled to the impurity is a versatile tool to probe the impurity dynamics. Using a Bethe ansatz, we calculate the eigenstates and corresponding energies exactly as a function of the flux through the trap. Adiabatic change of flux connects the ground state to excited states due to flux quantization. For repulsive interactions, the impurity disturbs the Fermi sea by dragging the fermions whose momentum matches the flux. This drag transfers momentum from the impurity to the background and increases the effective mass. The effective mass saturates to the total mass of the system for infinitely repulsive interactions. For attractive interactions, the drag again increases the effective mass which quickly saturates to twice the mass of a single particle as a dimer of the impurity and one fermion is formed. For excited states with momentum comparable to number of particles, effective mass shows a resonant behavior. We argue that standard tools in cold-atom experiments can be used to test these predictions.

Plasmons and the drag effect in a strong magnetic field
(Elsevier B.V., 2002) Manolescu, A.; Tanatar, Bilal
We study the effect of magnetoplasmons on the drag resistance in a strong magnetic field, at finite temperatures. The typical magnetic field is about 1 T, and the temperature is up to 10 K. The Landau levels are broadened by disorder, but well separated in energy. We discuss intra-Landau level magnetoplasmons, with low frequencies, below ωc, and inter-Landau level magnetoplasmons (also called Bernstein modes), with high frequencies, close to multiples of ωc. We compare the temperature dependence of the minima and maxima of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations of the transresistance.

(Bilkent University, 2020) Bağcı, Aleyna Tutku; Erdil, Dilay; Arslantaş, Damla; Duman, Elif; Güler, Elifsu
Drag kültürü, altmışlı yılların sonlarından itibaren dünyada ve Türkiye'de eğlence hayatında öne çıkmaya başladı. Bunu takip eden seksenli ve doksanlı yıllarda, başta Amerika olmak üzere, birçok drag queenin tiyatro, sinema ve moda alanında yer almaya başlaması ile birlikte drag popüler kültürde bir yer edindi. Bu araştırmada drag kültürünün Türk sahne sanatları ve eğlence tarihindeki yerinden bahsedilmektedir. Bu kültürün Türkiye'deki ilk temsilcisi, "Huysuz Virjin" olarak bilinen Seyfi Dursunoğlu ve bugünün drag sahnesinde "Matmazel Coco" adıyla öne çıkan temsilcilerinden biri olan Seyhan Arman'ın hayatları ele alındı. Araştırmada, Türkiye'de drag kültürünün tarihi incelenerek bu iki ismin drag sanatına olan etkileri ve gelişiminde oynadıkları rol üzerinde durulmuştur.
