Conservative relativity principle: Logical ground and analysis of relevant experiments
(Springer Heidelberg, 2014) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We suggest a new relativity principle, which asserts the impossibility to distinguish the state of rest and the state of motion at the constant velocity of a system, if no work is done to the system in question during its motion. We suggest calling this new rule as "conservative relativity principle" (CRP). In the case of an empty space, CRP is reduced to the Einstein special relativity principle. We also show that CRP is compatible with the general relativity principle. One of important implications of CRP is the dependence of the proper time of a charged particle on the electric potential at its location. In the present paper we consider the relevant experimental facts gathered up to now, where the latter effect can be revealed. We show that in atomic physics the introduction of this effect furnishes a better convergence between theory and experiment than that provided by the standard approach. Finally, we reanalyze the Mossbauer experiments in rotating systems and show that the obtained recently puzzling deviation of the relative energy shift between emission and absorption lines from the relativistic prediction can be explained by the CRP.

Diatomic molecules' enigmatic constancy as the product of their dissociation energy and interatomic distance
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Zaim, Nimet; Arik, Metin; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Yarman, Ozan; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
In this contribution, we show that the product dissociation energy (D) x interatomic distance (R) with regards to a straightforward taxonomy of diatomic molecules comes to assume a relatively high and virtually constant value. It is so much so that the heavier the diatomic molecules at hand, the closer DxR approaches e(2) (where e is the elementary charge intensity in esu). This occurrence is studied herein separately under families arranged from chemically-alike diatomic molecules. Each family (such as the set made of 'pairs of strictly alkali atoms', or 'pairs of strictly halogen atoms', or 'pairs of alkali-halogen atoms', etc), is thus composed of diatomic molecules formed of atoms bearing similar electronic configurations; whereby we initially ended up dealing with 18 families in total. In addition to those, we brought together 10 more families of diatomic molecules each composed of heavy metal atoms belonging respectively to each of the ten columns drawn from the three rows of heavy metals under the Periodic Table, and observed an even better conformance. [Sc-2, Y-2, La-2] is the first family in question; [Ti-2, Zr-2, Hf-2] and [Va(2), No-2, Ta-2] are the next two families; [Zn-2, Cd-2, Hg-2] delineates the last family of heavy metal diatomic molecules of concern. Let us stress that each of these sets embodies diatomic molecules made of heavy metal atoms belonging to the given column of the Periodic Table; thus, bearing alike electronic configurations. We further brought together 5 more families made of heavy metal hydrides, oxides, chlorides, and alkalines. We were motivated to undertake the present research in the light of our insight with regards to (i) the general non-opacity character of neutral bodies vis-a-vis electrical field transmission, and thence (ii) the attractional electric property of neutral bodies - which underlines the disclosed constancy where, particularly for diatomic molecules comprising heavy atoms, the increase in DxR happens to get aligned with the increase in atomic weight 1 (A(1)) x atomic weight 2 (A(2)).

Einstein's "Clock Hypothesis" and Mossbauer Experiments in a Rotating System
(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2019) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Yarman, Ozan; Arik, Metin; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
An extra energy shift between emitted and received radiation on a rotating disc - next to the conventionally recognised second-order Doppler shift - has been revealed in a series of recent Mossbauer experiments, where a radioactive source is fixed at the centre and an absorber is attached to the rim of the rotating disc. This disclosure gives indication to a possible violation of the "clock hypothesis" by Einstein: i.e. the independence of the rate of a clock on its acceleration. At the moment, there seem to be two plausible interpretations of this result: (i) the deviation of the geometry of the rotating disc from that predicted by the general theory of relativity (GTR), or (ii) the existence of a specific maximal acceleration in nature, when transformation between two accelerated frames differs from the corresponding transformation of the relativity theory. We take a closer look at both ways leading to the violation of the clock hypothesis; particularly, by analysing the outcomes of recent experiments in rotating systems and by suggesting a new Mossbauer rotor experiment to determine the most feasible mechanism for testing the dependence of the rate of a clock on its acceleration.

Force law in material media and quantum phases
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2016) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We show that the known expressions for the force on a point-like dipole are incompatible with the relativistic transformation of force, and in this respect we apply the Lagrangian approach to the derivation of the correct equation for force on a small electric/magnetic dipole. The obtained expression for the generalized momentum of a moving dipole predicts two novel quantum effects with non-topological and non-dynamic phases, when an electric dipole is moving in an electric field, and when a magnetic dipole is moving in a magnetic field, respectively.

Lorentz transformation of a charge-current density and "relativistic polarization" of a moving current loop
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2020) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We show that the claim by Franklin (Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 35, 2050061 (2020)) with respect to the vanishing charge distribution over the perimeter of an electrically neutral moving current loop is erroneous and is based on a misinterpretation of physical meaning of Lorentz transformations. Moreover, we show that the development of nonvanishing electric dipole moment by a moving current loop (which we named as "relativistic polarization") represents a direct implication of covariant formulation of classical electrodynamics of material media. In this respect, we analyze some subtle effects related to the motion of magnetic dipoles in an electromagnetic field and disclose their physical meaning.

Mossbauer effect in rotating systems: possible explanation of the extra energy shift
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We analyze the Mossbauer experiments in rotating systems, where an absorber orbits around a source of resonant radiation. As the recent measurements indicate, in this configuration the relative energy shift between emission and absorption lines emerges not only due to the dilation of time in the rotating absorber (the second-order Doppler effect), but it is also due to some effect of unknown nature, which contributes more than 20% to the value of the usual relativistic dilation of time. We suggest a physical explanation of such an extra energy shift, based on the Pure Bound Field Theory (PBFT), which we recently suggested (A. L. Kholmetskii et al., Eur. Phys. J. Plus 126, 33 (2011), 126, 35 (2011)). In particular, PBFT predicts the additional dilation of time for electrically bound particles, which, to the accuracy of calculations c(-2), is linearly added to the conventional relativistic time dilation effect. Applying this result to resonant nuclei in a crystal, we obtain a qualitative agreement between calculated and measured data of the extra energy shift between emission and absorption resonant lines for the Mossbauer effect in rotating systems. Some implications of the results obtained are discussed.

Mossbauer experiments in a rotating system, Doppler effect and the influence of acceleration
(Springer Heidelberg, 2018) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Yarman, Ozan; Arik, Metin; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We address a recent measurement carried out by Friedman et al. (J. Synchrotron Rad. 24, 661 (2017)) that was contingent upon the Mossbauer effect arising from the application of resonant synchrotron radiation on an orbiting resonant absorber, where the authors claim to have detected the influence of the centrifugal acceleration of the absorber on the measured shift of the resonant line. We show that a later attempt to explain the outcome of this experiment via the time-dependent Doppler effect in an accelerated frame (E. Benedetto and A. Feoli, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 133, 53 (2018)) is based on a misinterpretation of the Mossbauer effect and should thenceforth be rejected. We further show that the revealed dependence of the energy shift of the resonant line on the centrifugal acceleration of the resonant absorber could happen solely due to instrumental factors. In this regard, a realistic way to analyze the origin of the extra energy shift between emission and absorption lines in a rotating system is proposed.

New expressions for the Aharonov-Bohm phase and consequences for the fundamentals of quantum mechanics
(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2024) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We focus on new expressions for the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase proposed recently by C. Marletto and V. Vedral (Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 040401 (2020)) and by our team (A. L. Kholmetskii et al., Ann. Phys., 434, 168627 (2021)). We emphasize the mismatch between the standard expression for the electric component of the AB phase and the expression by Marletto and Vedral for this component, which, as we show, has fundamental roots and indicates the need to use different expressions for the Hamiltonian of the radiative component and bound component of the electromagnetic (EM) field. We further show that the corrected expression for the AB phase of Marletto and Vedral and our expression for the AB phase do not coincide with its standard representation through the potentials of EM field (Y. Aharonov, D. Bohm, Phys. Rev. 115 (1959) 485) and contain additional terms, which straightforwardly allow to re-express the AB phase via electric and magnetic fields instead of scalar and vector potentials. The recognition of the field-dependent origin of the AB effect also requires to re-express the Hamiltonian of a charged particle through the EM field, which we show can be done in the only possible way. We discuss the physical meaning of the AB effect with the primary role of the EM field and also discuss some general quantum mechanical implications.

A novel approach to the systematization of α-decaying nuclei, based on shell structures
(Springer, 2016) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Zaim, Nimet; Susam, Lidya Amon; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Arik, Metin; Altintas, Ali Azmi; Ozaydin, Fatih; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We provide a novel systematization of alpha-decaying nuclei, starting with the classically adopted mechanism. The decay half-life of an alpha-disintegrating nucleus is framed, supposing that i) the alpha-particle is born inside the parent, then ii) it keeps on hitting the barrier, while it runs back and forth inside the parent, and hitting each time the barrier, and iii) it finally tunnels through the barrier. One can, knowing the decay half-life, consider the probability that the alpha-particle is born within the parent, before it is emitted, as a parameter. Under all circumstances, the decay appears to be governed by the shell structure of the given nucleus. Our approach well allows to incorporate (not only even-even nuclei, but) all nuclei, decaying via throwing an alpha particle. Though herein, we limit ourselves with just even-even nuclei, in the aim of comparing our results with the existing Geiger-Nuttal results.

Novel theory leads to the classical outcome for the precession of the perihelion of a planet due to gravity
(Physics Essays Publication, 2014) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Arik, Metin; Yarman, Ozan; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We offer a novel method which lets us derive the same classical result for the precession of the perihelion of a planet due to the gravitational effects of the host star. The theoretical approach suggested earlier by the first author is erected upon just the energy conservation law, which consequently yields the weak equivalence principle. The precession outcome is exactly the same as that formulated by the general theory of relativity (GTR) for Mercurial orbit eccentricities, but the methodology used is totally different. In our approach, there is no need to make any categorical distinction between luminal and subluminal matter, since, as we have previously demonstrated, our theory of gravity is fully compatible with the foundations of quantum mechanics. Our approach can immediately be generalized to the many-body problem, which is otherwise practically impossible within the framework of GTR. Our approach thus leads to a unified description of the microworld and macroworld physics. (C) 2014 Physics Essays Publication.

Pound-Rebka result within the framework of YARK theory
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Arik, Metin; Yarman, Ozan; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We herein show that the classical Pound-Rebka (P-R) result is furnished within the framework of Yarman-Arik-Kholmetskii gravitation theory, which we will call YARK in short, in terms of the energy shift of resonant gamma-radiation under Earth's gravitational field. Previous successes of YARK in satisfactorily dealing with the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, gravitational redshift, Shapiro delay, lensing effect, anomalous light-bending of gamma quanta, dark energy, accelerated cosmic expansion, analytical derivation of the Hubble constant, and additional time dilation in Mossbauer rotor setups makes it further applicable to past experiments like P-R that has so far been thought to validate the general theory of relativity (GTR). We discuss the P-R outcome of YARK and compare it with what is furnished by GTR.

Poynting Theorem, Relativistic Transformation of Total Energy-Momentum and Electromagnetic Energy-Momentum Tensor
(Springer, 2016) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We address to the Poynting theorem for the bound (velocity-dependent) electromagnetic field, and demonstrate that the standard expressions for the electromagnetic energy flux and related field momentum, in general, come into the contradiction with the relativistic transformation of four-vector of total energy-momentum. We show that this inconsistency stems from the incorrect application of Poynting theorem to a system of discrete point-like charges, when the terms of self-interaction in the product (where the current density and bound electric field are generated by the same source charge) are exogenously omitted. Implementing a transformation of the Poynting theorem to the form, where the terms of self-interaction are eliminated via Maxwell equations and vector calculus in a mathematically rigorous way (Kholmetskii et al., Phys Scr 83:055406, 2011), we obtained a novel expression for field momentum, which is fully compatible with the Lorentz transformation for total energy-momentum. The results obtained are discussed along with the novel expression for the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor.

Quantum phases for a charged particle and electric/magnetic dipole in an electromagnetic field
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2017) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We point out that the known quantum phases for an electric/magnetic dipole moving in an electromagnetic field must be composed from more fundamental quantum phases emerging for moving elementary charges. Using this idea, we have found two new fundamental quantum phases, next to the known magnetic and electric Aharonov-Bohm phases, and discuss their general properties and physical meaning.

RETRACTED: Conservative relativity principle and energy-momentum conservation in a superimposed gravitational and electric field (Retracted article. See vol. 95, pg. 1030, 2017)
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We address to the conservative relativity principle (CRP), which we recently advanced (A.L. Kholmetskii, et al. Eur. Phys. J. Plus 129 (2014) 102). This principle asserts the impossibility to distinguish the state of rest and the state of motion of a system moving at constant velocity, if no work is done to the system in question during its motion; such a constraint is thus closely linked to the energy-momentum conservation law. Therefore, the conservative relativity principle, along with the Einstein special relativity principle (which obviously represents the particular manifestation of CRP in the case of empty space), and the general relativity principle can be considered as the cornerstones of modern physics. At the same time, some principal implications of CRP - e.g. the dependence of the proper time of a charged particle on the electric potential at its location, happens to be firmly at odds with the established structure of modern physics and, in fact, is not accepted by the wide scientific community up to date. In the present paper we consider the motion of a massive charged particle in a superimposed gravitational and electric field and explicitly demonstrate that the adoption of CRP is strongly required to prevent the violation of the total energy-momentum conservation law for an isolated system "particles and fields". Therefore, all of the consequences of CRP must be incorporated with the structure of physics, and we show that they are in a full agreement with the experimental data collected to the moment.

Second law of thermodynamics is ingrained within quantum mechanics
(Elsevier, 2018) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Yarman, Ozan; Arik, Metin; Yarman, Faruk; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We show that the second law of thermodynamics is rooted in quantum mechanics, inasmuch as allowing the substitution of the Boltzmann constant k and temperature with respectively the Planck constant and quantum numbers. In particular, we will see that the entropy S becomes proportional to the natural logarithm of the average of the squared quantum numbers (n(2)) over bar, where each quantum number is associated with a quantum state of the constituents of the thermodynamical system under consideration. It is important to stress that the present approach furnishes the corrected Boltzmann entropy expression. Thus, instead of S = k ln Omega, with Omega in the former signifying the number of Boltzmann microstates, we land at S = k ln (n(2)) over bar The results obtained are discussed.

Super-massive objects in Yarman-Arik-Kholmetskii (YARK) gravitation theory
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Arik, Metin; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Yarman, Ozan; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We continue to analyze the implications of the gravitational framework of our theoretical approach, christened YARK (abbreviated from Yarman-Arik-Kholmetskii), with respect to super-massive celestial bodies. We emphasize in particular that a gravitating test particle in the presence of a ponderable mass must adhere to the law of energy conservation, which remarkably does not yield any singularity according to YARK. Even so, for a given spherically shaped extremely compact super-massive body, one can achieve a theoretical radius below which "light" of, say, the visible frequency range can indeed be trapped. Yet, such a radius comes out to be tens of times shorter than the threshold radius for black hole formation as established by the general theory of relativity (GTR). In accordance with our derivations, the minimal mass for a celestial object capable of recapturing emitted light in its environs - similar to textbook "intermediate class black holes" - is found to be about 10(3)M(S), where M-S stands for the mass of the Sun. For less massive celestial objects, the crucial radius that produces a "YARK black hole" (i.e., without singularity) corresponds to a higher density than the density of a baryon; and hence, such entities cannot apparently exist in nature. Black holes allowed therefore in our approach are not related, in any case, to the singularity conceptualization of GTR. As a consequence, we are able to present a resolution to the "black hole information paradox". The findings of YARK will be discussed hereinafter with regards to the foundations of observational cosmology.

Systematization of α-decaying nuclei based on shell structures: The case of odd-even and odd-odd nuclei
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2017) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Zaim, Nimet; Yarman, Ozan; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Arik, Metin; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
In previous studies, we provided a novel systematization of alpha-decaying even-even and even-odd nuclei starting with the classically adopted mechanism [T. Yarman et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 52 (2016) 140; Eur. Phys. J. A 53 (2017) 4]. Knowing beforehand the measured decay half-life, we had taken as a parameter the probability of the a-particle as being first born in a unit period of time, within the parent nucleus before it is emitted out. We thence developed a scaffold based on shell properties of families composed of "alike nuclei". Along the same line, we now present a systematization of odd-even (OE) as well as odd-odd (OO) nuclei. We apply our approach further to the investigation of the effect of pairing (e.g., the effect when the number of nucleons is increased by one neutron), and that of unpairing (e.g., the effect when the number of nucleons is decreased by one neutron); thus it becomes an even number for the case of odd-even nuclei (Case OE), and an odd number in the case of odd-odd nuclei (Case OO). For the first case (OE), we pick the exemplar set Re-161, Fr-217, Bk-243, (263)Db; where we delineate by, respectively, Re, Fr, Bk, and Db all of the odd-even or odd-odd isotopes that neighbor the four mentioned odd-even isotopes on the proposed scaffold. We proceed in the same way for the second case (OO). Thus, we choose the exemplar set of odd-odd nuclei Ir-172, Ac-218, Es-244. We then gather all of the Ir, Ac, and Es odd-odd and odd-even isotopes that neighbor the three mentioned odd-odd isotopes on the proposed scaffold. We show that, in the former case, pairing, as expected, generally increases stability of the given nucleus; and in the latter case, unpairing works in just the opposite direction - i.e., it generally increases instability. We disclose "stability peaks" versus Z for both sets of nuclei, we tackle here. Furthermore, we present a study to highlight an outlook of "odd-A nuclei" at hand. Contrary to the general expectation, we unveil no systematic on that.
