Conference Object Can Cpt Be Violated Through Extended Time Reversal?(World Scientific Publishing, 2001) Erdem, Recai; Ufuktepe, ÜnalWe consider the implications of the extension of time reversal through Wigner types and group extensions. We clarify its physical content and apply the results in a toy model. Finally we point out the possibility of violation of CPT in this framework.Conference Object Probing the Density of States of High Temperature Superconductors With Point Contact Tunneling Spectroscopy(Springer Verlag, 2005) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.Tunneling spectroscopy measurements are performed on single crystals of single CuO2 layer Tl2Ba2CuO6+delta, double CuO2 layer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi2212) and polycrystal quadruple CuO2 layer CuBa2Ca3Cu4O12+delta using the point contact tunneling technique. I-V and dI/dV-V characteristics are obtained at 4.2 K. In spite of different number of layers and T-c values, all three high-T-c superconductors exhibit similar spectral features including dip and hump features reminiscent of strong-coupling effects in conventional superconductors. The doping dependence of Bi2212 is studied and several effects of the hole concentration on spectral features are found. A novel effect is that the energy gap increases in the underdoped region even as T-c decreases. Combining the doping dependence of the energy gap and the dip energy provides additional information in order to understand the mechanism of high-T-c superconductivity. Point contact tunneling studies of the doping dependence of the energy gap in Bi2212 also helped to understand local variations of the gap magnitude observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, indicating that this type of spectroscopy is an integral part of the tunneling technique.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Carbon Deposition on the Stainless Steels Substrates Using Pulsed Plasma(National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2008) Pat, Suat; Balbağ, Zafer; Cenik, I.; Ekem, Naci; Okur, Salih; Vladoiu, Rodica; Musa, GeavitWe have developed a generic method for carbon deposition method for any substrates from methane pulsed plasma. The generic method has been developed for carbon deposition on the stainless steels substrates using pulsed methane plasma. Pulsed plasma was produced at atmospheric pressure methane gas and room temperatures. Methane plasma was generated using with 25kV, 25kHz pulsed power supply. Discharge current approximately 300 mA. Stainless steels probes hold in the 32mm from the methane plasma. Probes dimensions were phi=30mm, h=8mm and 4 mm.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Investigation of the Structural and Optical Properties of Copper-Titanium Oxide Thin Films Produced by Changing the Amount of Copper(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Horzum, Şeyda; Gürakar, Sibel; Serin, TülayWe examine how the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 thin films are changed with heavily copper (Cu) content. Variations in characteristic properties of the films with 0, 12.5, 25 and 50 wt% Cu contents, grown by sol-gel dip coating method, are observed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and optical spectroscopy measurements. The XRD and Raman spectra indicate that pure TiO2 film forms in the anatase structure. At high Cu concentrations, XRD results also reveal the substitution of Ti with Cu and formation of extra compound Copper-Titanium oxide. Raman measurements also show that Cu is incorporated homogeneously into TiO2 matrix up to 12.5 wt% concentration and this uniformity is distorted at higher Cu contents. In addition, optical spectroscopy measurements show that the optical band gap energy decreases from 3.26 eV to 2.05 eV with increasing Cu concentration. Furthermore, it is observed that the refractive index values obtained by means of transmittance spectra at 550 nm wavelength; increases from 2.47 to 3.39 when the Cu concentration increases from 0 to 50 wt %.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 85Cspbbr3 Perovskites: Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on Water-Assisted Transition From Nanowire Formation To Degradation(American Physical Society, 2018) Akbalı, Barış; Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Özcan, Mehmet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şahin, HasanRecent advances in colloidal synthesis methods have led to an increased research focus on halide perovskites. Due to the highly ionic crystal structure of perovskite materials, a stability issue pops up, especially against polar solvents such as water. In this study, we investigate water-driven structural evolution of CsPbBr3 by performing experiments and state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. It is seen that while an optical image shows the gradual degradation of the yellowish CsPbBr3 structure under daylight, UV illumination reveals that the degradation of crystals takes place in two steps: transition from a blue-emitting to green-emitting structure and and then a transition from a green-emitting phase to complete degradation. We found that as-synthesized CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs) emit blue light under a 254 nm UV source. Before the degradation, first, CsPbBr3 NWs undergo a water-driven structural transition to form large bundles. It is also seen that formation of such bundles provides longer-term environmental stability. In addition theoretical calculations revealed the strength of the interaction of water molecules with ligands and surfaces of CsPbBr3 and provide an atomistic-level explanation to a transition from ligand-covered NWs to bundle formation. Further interaction of green-light-emitting bundles with water causes complete degradation of CsPbBr3 and the photoluminescence signal is entirely quenched. Moreover, Raman and x-ray-diffraction measurements revealed that completely degraded regions are decomposed to PbBr2 and CsBr precursors. We believe that the findings of this study may provide further insight into the degradation mechanism of CsPbBr3 perovskite by water.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Monitoring the Crystal Orientation of Black-Arsenic Via Vibrational Spectra(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Kandemir, Ali; İyikanat, Fadıl; Şahin, HasanIn this study, the structural, mechanical, and vibrational properties of a recently discovered anisotropic ultra-thin material, black-arsenic (b-As), are investigated by using density functional theory. Direction dependent elastic constants such as in-plane stiffness, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of single-layer b-As are calculated and compared with those of the structural cousin black-phosphorus (b-P). The calculated Poisson's ratio of b-As for the zigzag direction is nearly 1, which is quite higher than that of b-P, 0.65. Besides, it is found that all the three elastic constants are highly anisotropic and their values in the zigzag direction are almost three times higher than that of the armchair direction. The mechanical strength of the material is also calculated and high-toughness is seen in both armchair and zigzag directions. It is revealed that the material is quite stiff against straining along the zigzag direction; in contrast, it is quite flexible along the armchair direction. Vibrational stability analysis shows that the material is stable up to 9% biaxially applied strain, and 12% and 45% uniaxially applied strain in the zigzag and armchair directions, respectively. Furthermore, the prominent Raman active peaks of the b-As structure show strong anisotropy in the strain dependent vibrational spectra and they can also be used for easy-determination of the crystal orientation of b-As from Raman measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of the Synthesis Conditions on the Properties of Co Embedded Porous Si Nanostructures(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Çetinel, Alper; Artunç, Nurcan; Tarhan, EnverThe electrodeposition of cobalt in the porous silicon (PSi) substrate was investigated in terms of the deposition times and current densities. The PSi/Co samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The results indicated that for all current densities, the PL intensities of PSi/Co samples with shorter deposition times (t(s) <= 20 min) increased due to spherical Co nanoparticles (NPs) could be created the new recombination centers, compared to that of the undeposited PSi. On the other hand, the PL intensity of PSi/Co samples significantly decreased at longer deposition times (t(1) > 20 min) because of larger Co NP cluster promoted the formation of non-radiative centers. The increased PL intensities in samples with t(s) were attributed to both the quantum confinement effect and surface effects. PL analyses also suggested that after exposure to air for 60 days, PL characteristics of PSi/Co were stabilized depending on deposition time and current density.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6The Growth of Silver Nanostructures on Porous Silicon for Enhanced Photoluminescence: The Role of Agno3 Concentration and Deposition Time(EDP Sciences, 2019) Çetinel, Alper; Artunç, Nurcan; Tarhan, EnverSilver nanostructures were obtained by using the electrodeposition method on n-type porous silicon (PSi) under different deposition times and concentrations of AgNO3 solutions. The analyses of the structural and photoluminescence properties of PSi/Ag were studied by SEM, XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. SEM analysis showed that the shape and size of Ag nanostructures significantly depend on the deposition time and concentration. It was found that spherical nanoparticles and thin Ag dendrites were obtained in short deposition times at 1 and 5 mM AgNO3 concentrations, whereas, Ag complex dendrite nanostructures formed in long deposition times. It was also found that only micro-sized Ag particles were formed at 10 mM. XRD results revealed that the degree of crystallization increases with increasing concentration. Photoluminescence analysis showed that the deposition time and concentration of AgNO3 remarkably affect the PL intensity of PSi/Ag samples. We determined a PL enhancement of similar to 2.7 for the PSi/Ag deposited at 120 s for 1 mM AgNO3. The improved PL intensity of PSi/Ag nanostructures can be explained by the combination of quantum confinement and surface states. PL analyses also indicated that with increasing deposition time and AgNO3 concentrations, the PL intensity of PSi/Ag structures significantly decreases due to the auto-extinction phenomenon.Article Evaluation of exact quantum query complexities by semidefinite programming(Springer Verlag, 2019) Uyanık, KıvançOne of the difficult tasks in quantum computation is inventing efficient exact quantum algorithms, which are the quantum algorithms that output the correct answer with certainty on any input. We improve and generalize the semidefinite programming (SDP) method of Montanaro et al. (Algorithmica 71:775-796, 2015) in order to evaluate exact quantum query complexities of partial functions. We present a more systematical approach to achieve the inspired result by Montanaro et al. for the function EXACT24, which is the Boolean function of 4 bits that output only when 2 of the input bits are equal to 1. The same approach also allows us to reduce the size of the ancilla space used by the algorithms that evaluate symmetric functions like EXACT36. We employ the generalized SDP to verify the complexities of the earliest and best known quantum algorithms in the literature, namely, Deutsch-Jozsa and Grover algorithms for a small number of input bits. We utilized the method to solve the weight decision problem of bit strings with lengths up to 10 bits and observed that the generalized SDP gives better exact quantum query complexities than the known methods. Finally, we test the method on some selected functions and demonstrate that they all exhibit quantum speedup.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Cleo®/Europe - Eqec 2015, an Indium Tin Oxide Metamaterial Filter for the Terahertz Regime: Design, Fabrication and Characterization(Optical Society of America (OSA), 2015) Takan, Taylan; Nebioğlu, Mehmet Ali; Kurt, Metin; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Sabah, Cumali; Altan, Hakan[No abstract available]
