Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental and Density Functional Theory Study on Humidity Sensing Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine (cupc)(IOP Publishing, 2019) Farzaneh, Amir; Esrafili, Mehdi D.; Okur, SalihThe quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was applied to investigate humidity sensing properties of a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film prepared by drop cast method. The humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of (CuPc) thin film was evaluated. The QCM and electrical measurements results showed that humidity sensing properties of CuPc is very sensitive to humidity changes and reversible adsorption/desorption performance which is an indicative of a good humidity sensor even at room temperature. Reproducible experimental results indicated that CuPc thin films have an abundant potential for humidity sensing applications at ambient temperature. According to the first-principle density functional theory calculations, the promising humidity sensing properties of CuPc can be attributed to the considerable charge transfer from the water molecule into Cu atom.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Preparation of the Ferrocene-Substituted 1,3-Distal P-Tert Based Qcm Sensors Array and Utilization of Its Gas-Sensing Affinities(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Sayın, Serkan; Özbek, Cebrail; Okur, Salih; Yılmaz, MustafaThe article describes the synthesis of the new ferrocene-substituted calix[4]arene derivative 4 as sensitive layer, and suggests that the immobilization of it is on a quartz crystal microbalance gold electrode via the drop-casting method in order to produce the calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor. In addition, sensor response of the calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor was investigated towards carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The sensing and selectivity studies show that the ferrocene-substituted calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor is an effective gas sensor toward both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Electrical Characterization of Interdigitated Humidity Sensors Based on Cnt Modified Calixarene Molecules(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2013) Özbek, Cebrail; Çulcular, Evren; Okur, Salih; Yılmaz, M.; Kurt, M.In this study, we report on the optimization and characterization of chloroform soluble calix[4]arene derivative as a humidity sensor based on electrical properties. Due to the fact that calix[4]arene molecules are nonconductive, we modified the calix[4]arene molecules with carbon nanotubes with electrostatic bond in order to increase the conductance of calix[4]arene molecule (5,11,17,23-tetra-ter-butyl-25,27-dehydrazinamidcarbonilmetoxy-26,28- -dehydroxy-kalix[4]aren). Using photolithography technique, we fabricated interdigitated gold electrodes with 3 micrometers separation to investigate the electrical properties of carbon nanotubes modified calix[4]arene molecule where we used dropcast method to form a thin film of carbon nanotubes modified calix[4]arene molecule on the gold electrodes. Our reproducible experimental results indicated that the chloroform soluble carbon nanotubes modified calix[4]arene films have great potential for humidity sensing applications at room temperature operations.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Gas Sensing Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Modified With Calixarene Molecules Measured by Qcm Techniques(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012) Mermer, Ömer; Okur, Salih; Sümer, F.; Özbek, Cebrail; Sayın, S.; Yılmaz, MustafaThis study focuses on the characterization and optimization of calixarene modified carbon nanotube thin films for gas detection. Calixarene molecules were synthesized individually by considering their functional groups to attract the gas. Calixarene modified carbon nanotube based sensors were fabricated using drop-casting method on a quartz crystal microbalance gold electrode. Carbon monoxide, carbondioxide, oxygen and dry air were used as active gases for adsorption process, while high-purity nitrogen gas was used for desorption process. The selectivity and sensitivity of calixarene modified carbon nanotube are investigated in detail. Our experimental results show that functional calixarene modified carbon nanotube coated quartz crystal microbalance sensors are very sensitive and selective to gas of CO 2 at room temperature operation.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 11Odor Adsorption Kinetics on Modified Textile Materials Using Quartz Microbalance Technique(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012) Sarıışık, Merih; Okur, Salih; Asma, Ş.In this study, a functional product with aromatic oil and vitamins for use at aromatherapy and spa centers or personal care has been designed to improve life quality of users by using multifunctional products with good odor, moisturizing, relaxation, anti-aging effects. For this purpose, commercial berry berry oil was capsulated in β-cyclodextrin, and then applied to 100% cotton towel fabric. Quartz crystal microbalance sensors were used to investigate odor adsorption kinetics on modified textile materials for the first time. The frequency responses vs. time plot shows clear linear step responses to the change in the concentration of odor molecules coming from the container filled with berry berry applied textile. The results also reveal that TiO 2 coated quartz crystal microbalance sensors can be used as e-nose to sense odor from textile coated with berry berry oil containing β-cyclodextrin capsules.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 40Structural and Magnetic Characterization of Plasma Ion Nitrided Layer on 316l Stainless Steel Alloy(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Öztürk, Orhan; Okur, Salih; Riviere, Jean PaulIn this study, an FeCrNi alloy (316L stainless steel disc) was nitrided in a low-pressure R.F. plasma at 430 °C for 72 min under a gas mixture of 60% N2-40% H2. Structural, compositional and magnetic properties of the plasma nitrided layer was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). The magnetic behaviour of the nitrided layer was also investigated with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Combined X-ray diffraction, cross-sectional SEM, AFM and MFM, as well as VSM analyses provide strong evidence for the formation of the γN phase, [γN-(Fe, Cr, Ni)], with mainly ferromagnetic characteristics. The uniform nature of the γN layer is clearly demonstrated by the XRD, cross-sectional SEM and AFM analyses. Based on the AFM and SEM data, the thickness of the γN layer is found to be ∼6 μm. According to the MFM and VSM analyses, ferromagnetism in the γN layer is revealed by the observation of stripe domain structures and the hysteresis loops. The cross-sectional MFM results demonstrate the ferromagnetic γN phase distributed across the plasma nitrided layer. The MFM images show variation in the size and form of the magnetic domains from one grain to another.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 12Mgb2 Superconducting Thin Films Sequentially Fabricated Using Dc Magnetron Sputtering and Thermionic Vacuum Arc Method(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Okur, Salih; Kalkancı, M.; Pat, Suat; Ekem, Naci; Akan, Tamer; Balbağ, Zafer; Musa, G.; Tanoğlu, MetinIn this work, we discuss fabrication and characterization of MgB2 thin films obtained by sequential deposition and annealing of sandwich like Mg/B/Mg thin films on glass substrates. Mg and B films were prepared using DC magnetron sputtering and thermionic vacuum arc techniques, respectively. The MgB2 thin films showed superconducting critical transition at 33 K after annealing at 650 °C.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Low-Field Behavior of Ti-Added Mgb2/Cu Superconducting Wires(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2005) Gençer, Ali; Kılıç, Ahmet; Okur, Salih; Güçlü, Nusret; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Belenli, İbrahimWe report on low-field magnetic properties of Ti-added (0-20 wt.% of Ti) Cu-clad MgB2 superconducting wires. Wires were produced by mixing appropriate amount of Ti and reacted MgB2 powder which was then placed inside Cu tubes with a diameter of 6 mm. The tubes were then cold worked by rolling or drawing to smaller diameters and then annealed at various temperatures to enhance the grain connectivity. XRD studies show that Ti addition results in new but minor phases. We have then measured ac susceptibilities in the temperature range between 20 K and 40 K in ac fields of 20-1600 A/m. The data show that an additional loss mechanism is established with Ti-addition. The calculated ac losses are increasing with increasing Ti-content in the main superconducting matrix.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 51Voc Sensors Based on a Metal Oxide Nanofibrous Membrane/Qcm System Prepared by Electrospinning(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Özbek, Cebrail; Okur, Salih; Demir, Mustafa MuammerWe report a simple synthetic route to fabricate crystalline ZnO and CeO2/ZnO nanofibrous mats and their sensing characteristics against volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, propanol, ethanol, and dichloromethane. Precursor fibers were fabricated by electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) and metal salt(s) at 2.5 kV cm-1 in aqueous solution. The fibers were directly deposited on the crystal surface of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The crystal, which was coated by nanostructured PVA/metal precursor(s) fibers, was subjected to calcination in air at 500 °C for 5 h. The formation of an oxide based nanofiber mat was revealed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Upon exposure of the nanofiber mats to the VOCs, the compounds adsorbed onto the surface of oxidic fibers. The physisorption of the compounds was confirmed by FTIR and QCM. Both systems showed sensitivity to the VOCs and they hold a broad promise particularly for sensing applications of volatile alcoholic compounds. The introduction of CeO2 into the ZnO structure reduced the sensitivity of ZnO most probably due to the decrement of oxygen vacancies.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 9Structural and Low-Field Magnetic Characterization of Superconducting Mgb2 Wires(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Kılıç, Ahmet; Okur, Salih; Güçlü, Nusret; Kölemen, Uğur; Uzun, Orhan; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Gençer, AhmetSuperconducting MgB2 composite wires were prepared by packing blend of MgB2 inside of Cu tubes using powder in tube (PIT) method. The produced samples of the wires were then characterised by using SEM, XRD and AC susceptibility measurements, The measured fundamental susceptibility is compared with Bean model. We have obtained an empirical functions for the penetration field Hp = Hα(1-t)β, where t is the reduced temperature. In addition, ac losses were calculated at the same fixed temperatures to compare theoretical solutions. There is a qualitative agreement between the experimental results and theory.
