Bilayer graphene sheet grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was transferred on the top of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ 4 H-SiC. In this structure, two Schottky contacts were formed: one at G/ n- 4H-SiC interface and the other at bulk-4 H-SiC/Cr/Au interface. The photodetector's characteristic measurements revealed low dark current of - 0.58 nA and spectral voltage responsivity of - 0.75 V/W at 300 nm wavelength. Under low level UV illumination of 300 nm wavelength, the photodetector exhibited a leakage current and a photogenerated response voltage of 1.1 nA and 10 mV, respectively. The time-dependent photovoltage measurements displayed a rapid photovoltage response with rise and decay times of -74 ns and - 580 ns, respectively. This novel device holds promise for applications requiring sensitive and self-powered UV detection.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Amperometric Detection of Nh3 by Aromatic Sam-Modified Graphene(IEEE, 2023) Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Bayram, Abdullah; Aydın, Hasan; Can, Mustafa; Demiç, Şerafettin; Açıkbaş, Yaşar; Çelebi, CemAmmonia (NH3) is a toxic substance resulting in various acute and chronic effects on individuals. NH3 detection, monitoring methods, and detection tools are desperately needed. In this work, we improved the NH3 sensing capabilities of grapheme (GP) films deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) by modifying aromatic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules such as 5-[(3-methylphenyl) (phenyl) amino] isophthalic acid (MeIPA) and 5-(diphenyl)amino] isophthalic acid (PhIPA) on amperometric detection method. Morphological investigations of the films were carried out by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface potential was characterized with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), and vibrational properties were characterized with Raman spectroscopy. MeIPA modification increased NH3 uptake by two times compared to unmodified GP. The results indicated that the SAM modification enhanced NH3 molecule adsorption and improved its periodic reversible and reproducible response using the amperometric detection system, indicating that SAM molecules might be a feasible probe for NH3. © 2001-2012 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 35Cvd Graphene/Sic Uv Photodetector With Enhanced Spectral Responsivity and Response Speed(Elsevier, 2023) Jehad, Ala K.; Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, CemA self-powered, high-performance graphene/Silicon Carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet Schottky junction photodetector has been fabricated, and the effect of using monolayer and bilayer graphene on the device performance parameters was investigated. P-type graphene sheets were grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, while 4H-SiC material consists of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ on bulk n-SiC. Two photodetector devices have been studied, one with monolayer graphene (MLG) and the other with bilayer graphene (BLG). The proposed photodetector structure reveals the highest spectral responsivity known of a G/4H-SiC UV photodetector so far. Electronic and optoelectronic characterizations were done under an ultraviolet wavelength range from 240 to 350 nm. The results show two spectral responsivity maxima (Rmax) at 285 nm and 300 nm wavelengths. Exhibiting two maxima in spectral responsivity and detectivity is caused by the constructive and destructive interference effects of multiple reflections at the SiC epilayer's interfaces. The photodetector devices exhibit high spectral responsivity (R ? 0.09 AW?1), maximum detectivity (D* ? 2.9 × 1012 Jones), and minimum noise equivalent power (NEP ? 0.17 pWHz-1/2) in both devices. Using bilayer graphene instead of monolayer showed no significant change in both the photogenerated current and the spectral responsivity due to the higher absorption coefficient of bilayer graphene, however, it exhibited a significant improvement in the response speed. The response speed was found to increase by 50 % when bilayer graphene was used as a hole collecting electrode in the G/4H-SiC junction. This is because bilayer graphene creates a narrower depletion layer and higher electric field, which promotes efficient charge separation and recombination. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Flexible Metal/Semiconductor Type Photodetectors Based on Manganese Doped Zno Nanorods(Elsevier, 2023) Karagöz, Emine; Altaf, Çiğdem Tuç; Yaman, Ecenaz; Yıldırım, İpek Deniz; Erdem, Emre; Çelebi, Cem; Fidan, Mehmet; Sankir, Mehmet; Demirci Sankir, NurdanHigh-performance flexible photodetectors are one of the most interesting research areas due to their great possibilities for a variety of applications such as portable and wearable optoelectronics. This study verifies the performance of flexible metal/semiconductor/metal-type photodetector based on pristine and manganese doped ZnO nanorods (ZnO-NRs) prepared in two different concentrations of zinc precursors and manganese dopant at low temperatures. The photodetectors having ZnO-NRs with high aspect ratios were investigated by various material characterization techniques such as electron paramagnetic resonance and photoluminescence spectroscopy to confirm the relationship between defect concentrations and photodetector performance parameters. It has been calculated that the detectivity (D*) and responsivity (R) of the ZnO nanorod-based photodetectors increased 20 and 18 folds, respectively by increasing the concentration of zinc precursor. Besides the D* and R values of the photodetectors, prepared by the 16.5 mM zinc precursor, increased 18 and 4.5-fold, respectively, after manganese doping. We confirmed that even a very low concentration of zinc precursor could produce a photodetector with high performance in photo-response characteristics, flexibility, and stability against 10,000 cycles of convex/concave bending.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

The scope of this work is to reduce optical crosstalk and thus increasing the device performances with graphene and Si integration. This paper presents the design, fabrication process, and performance evaluation of self-powered individual Graphene/Silicon on Insulator (GSOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array (PDA) devices. A 4-element GSOI Schottky barrier PDA with separate graphene electrodes is fabricated to examine possible optical crosstalk encountered between each diode in the array structure. Here, monolayer graphene is utilized as hole collecting separate electrode on individually arrayed n-type Si on SOI substrate by photolithography technique. Each diode in the array exhibited a clear rectifying Schottky character. Photoresponse characterizations revealed that all diodes had excellent device performance even in self-powered mode in terms of an Ilight/Idark ratio up to 104, a responsivity of ∼0.12 A/W, a specific detectivity of around 1.6 × 1012 Jones, and a response speed of ∼1.32 μs at 660 nm wavelength. As revealed by optical crosstalk measurement, the device with pixel pitch of 1.5 mm had a total crosstalk of about 0.10% (−60 dB) per array. These results showed that the optical crosstalk between neighboring n-Si elements can be greatly minimized when graphene is used as separated electrode on arrayed Si on SOI substrate. Our study is expected give an insight into the performance characteristics of GSOI PDA devices which have great potential to be used in many technological applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry and position/motion detection. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 39High Transparent, Low Surface Resistance Zto/Ag Multilayer Thin Film Electrodes on Glass and Polymer Substrates(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Erdoğan, Nursev; Astarlıoğlu, Aziz Taner; Yiğen, Serap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Özdemir, MehtapZinc tin oxide (ZTO)/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films were grown by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature on soda lime glass (SLG) and different polymer substrates such as polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for transparent conductive electrode (TCE) applications. The effect of substrate on the structural, optical and electrical characteristics of ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayers was investigated. All prepared ZTO/Ag/ZTO films presented amorphous structure as expected from room temperature deposition process and smooth surface quality with very low surface roughness. We found that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer films grown on SLG, PET and PC substrates have very high optical transmission and low surface resistance. Moreover, after ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin film deposition on polymer substrates, the optical transmission was found to be enhanced because the higher absorption due to Ag layer is compensated by lower reflectance. Our results suggest that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films on any substrate can be a promising alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) films as a cost-effective, indium-free, flexible and transparent electrode for various applications.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Surface Free Energy and Wettability Properties of Transparent Conducting Oxide-Based Films With Ag Interlayer(Elsevier, 2021) Özbay, Salih; Erdoğan, Nursev; Erden, Fuat; Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Rakop, Büşra; Özdemir, Mehtap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiITO, ZTO, AZO and Ag are commonly used in transparent conducting oxide (TCO)/metal/TCO electrodes to form multilayered thin films on a suitable substrate. A detailed surface free energy (SFE) knowledge of these films is critical to design desirable TCO-based sandwich structures. In this study, TCO/Ag/TCO multilayer thin films were coated onto glass substrates using ITO, ZTO, AZO and Ag targets by magnetron sputtering. The wettability properties of TCO, Ag interlayer and TCO/Ag/TCO were evaluated by contact angle measurements of seven different liquids having various surface tension values. The dispersive and polar components of SFE were calculated using geometric and harmonic mean approaches. The acidic and basic components of SFE were calculated using van Oss-Chaudhury-Good method. Following this, the work of adhesion values between TCO films and Ag interlayer were estimated using SFE values of the films. The results show that the SFE components of the surfaces differ depending on the TCO type, the total SFE values of TCO/Ag/TCO films were lower than that of TCO films, and AZO/Ag adhesion is stronger than the other TCO/Ag structures. The reasons behind these differences were discussed by evaluating the SFE, XRD, AFM and SEM analysis simultaneously.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5The Role of Charge Distribution on the Friction Coefficients of Epitaxial Graphene Grown on the Si-Terminated and C-Terminated Faces of Sic(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Keskin, Yasemin; Ünverdi, Özhan; Erbahar, Doğan; Kaya, İsmet İnönü; Çelebi, CemThe friction coefficients of single-layer epitaxial graphene grown on the Si-terminated and C-terminated faces of Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate were measured under ambient conditions using Friction Force Microscope (FFM). The lateral friction force measurements acquired in the applied normal force range between 4.0 and 16.0 nN showed that the friction coefficient of graphene on the C-terminated face of SiC is about two times smaller than the one grown on its Si-terminated face. The lateral friction was found to be decreased as the average of root mean square roughness increases suggesting the observed difference in the friction coefficients cannot be related to the roughness of the graphene layers. DFT calculations demonstrated that the altered periodicity of charge distribution on graphene due to the specific interactions with two distinct polar faces of SiC substrate might explain the observed difference in the friction coefficients.

The Hall mobility, sheet carrier density, and transport lifetime were obtained from the temperature-dependent Hall measurements, while the in-plane effective mass, quantum lifetime was obtained from the temperature-dependent variation of the Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) oscillations that were made at 1.8 to 45 K temperature range and up to the magnetic field of 11 T. The measurement results showed that in SLG/TiO2/ Si sample, there were 2.36 +/- 0.12x1016 m-3 amounts of 3D carriers coming from the substrate. In our previous studies, 3D carrier densities were measured as 6.07x1016 m-3 and zero for SLG/SiO2/Si and SLG/SiC sample, respectively. This result shows that the 3D carriers formed in the structure are significantly changed by a substrate. The scattering mechanisms were determined using the zt/zq ratio. The ratio values obtained as 3.66. This value obtained was compared with the values we found for SLG/SiC (zt/zq=1.36) sample and SLG/TiO2/Si (zt/zq=3.08) sample our previous study. The results show that small-angle scattering is dominant in SLG/SiC sample, but large-angle scattering is dominant in SLG/SiO2/Si and SLG/TiO2/Si samples. The charged impurity scattering is the dominant scattering mechanism in SLG/TiO2/Si and SLG/SiO2/Si samples, whereas in SLG/SiC samples, a short-range scattering mechanism such as lattice defects can be said to affect the electronic transport.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Transport Modeling of Locally Photogenerated Excitons in Halide Perovskites(American Chemical Society, 2021) Tang, Kuen Wai; Li, Senlei; Weeden, Spencer; Song, Ziyi; McClintock, Luke; Xiao, Rui; Senger, Ramazan TuğrulExcitons have fundamental impacts on optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Halide perovskites, with long carrier lifetimes and ionic crystal structures, may support highly mobile excitons because the dipolar nature of excitons suppresses phonon scattering. Inspired by recent experimental progress, we perform device modeling to rigorously analyze exciton formation and transport in methylammonium lead triiodide under local photoexcitation by using a finite element method. Mobile excitons, coexisting with free carriers, can dominate photocurrent generation at low temperatures. The simulation results are in excellent agreement with the experimentally observed strong temperature and gate dependence of carrier diffusion. This work signifies that efficient exciton transport can substantially influence charge transport in the family of perovskite materials.
