    Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method
    (TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, Yusuf
    In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.

    Reciprocal Space Mapping Study of Cdte Epilayer Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on (2 1 1)b Gaas Substrate
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) Polat, Mustafa; Arı, Ozan; Öztürk, Orhan; Selamet, Yusuf
    We examine high quality, single crystal CdTe epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on (2 1 1)B GaAs substrate using both positions and full width at half maximums (FWHMs) of reciprocal lattice points (RLPs). Our results demonstrate that reciprocal space mapping (RSM) is an effective way to study the structural characteristics of the high-index oriented epitaxial thin films having a large lattice mismatch with the substrate. The measurement method is defined first, and then the influence of shear strain ( xz) on the position of the (5 1 1) node of epilayer is clarified. It is concluded that the lattice tilting is likely to be related with the lattice mismatch. Nondestructive measurement of the dislocation density is achieved by applying the mosaic crystal model. The screw dislocation density, estimated to be 7.56×107 cm2, was calculated utilizing the broadened peakwidths of the asymmetric RLP of the epilayer lattice.

    Surface Roughness Estimation of Mbe Grown Cdte/Gaas(211)b by Ex-Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
    (American Institute of Physics, 2016) Karakaya, Merve; Bilgilisoy, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Selamet, Yusuf
    Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) ranging from 1.24 eV to 5.05 eV is used to obtain the film thickness and optical properties of high index (211) CdTe films. A three-layer optical model (oxide/CdTe/GaAs) was chosen for the ex-situ ellipsometric data analysis. Surface roughness cannot be determined by the optical model if oxide is included. We show that roughness can be accurately estimated, without any optical model, by utilizing the correlation between SE data (namely the imaginary part of the dielectric function, <ϵ2 > or phase angle, ψ) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) roughness. <ϵ2 > and ψ values at 3.31 eV, which corresponds to E1 critical transition energy of CdTe band structure, are chosen for the correlation since E1 gives higher resolution than the other critical transition energies. On the other hand, due to the anisotropic characteristic of (211) oriented CdTe surfaces, SE data (<ϵ2 > and ψ) shows varieties for different azimuthal angle measurements. For this reason, in order to estimate the surface roughness by considering these correlations, it is shown that SE measurements need to be taken at the same surface azimuthal angle. Estimating surface roughness in this manner is an accurate way to eliminate cumbersome surface roughness measurement by AFM.
