Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12The Superconducting Transition Width and Illumination Wavelength Dependence of the Response of Mgo Substrate Ybco Transition Edge Bolometers(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Öktem, B.; Bozbey, Ali; Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, Doğan; Fardmanesh, M.Dependence of the phase and magnitude of the response of MgO substrate YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) transition edge bolometers to the near infrared radiation on the superconducting transition width is presented in this work. The bolometers were made of YBCO thin films of 200 nm thickness that were grown on single crystal MgO (1 0 0) substrates by DC inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering. We have measured the responses of both large and small area devices with respect to the bias temperature and radiation modulation frequency. We have observed that the superconducting transition width has major effects on the response of the bolometers such as; on a dip of the phase of the response versus modulation frequency curve around 1 Hz, the rate of decrease of the magnitude of the response, and dependence of the phase of the response on temperature at mid-range modulation frequency. We have investigated a correlation between the superconducting transition width and the YBCO film surface morphology of the devices. In addition, the illumination wavelength dependence of the optical response of both wide and narrow transition width devices has been investigated. Here we present the analysis and the possible mechanisms that can affect the response of the bolometers at the superconducting transition region.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Fabrication of Superconducting Mgb2 From Boron Oxide (b 2o3), and Its Microstructural and Electrical Characterization(National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Yavaş, Mert; Okur, Salih; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Kalkancı, Mihriban; Özyüzer, LütfiThe discovery of superconducting MgB2 (39 K) draws attention to it as a new material for applications based on superconductivity. Many researchers successfully synthesized MgB2 using commercial boron and magnesium. In this study, elementary boron was obtained via an acid leaching process, after reacting B2O3, and Mg in an argon atmosphere at 800°C. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) results revealed that the powder obtained from the reaction was boron in 92% purity with magnesium as the major impurity. Superconducting MgB2 was produced from this boron and magnesium, in an argon atmosphere at 900°C, by a conventional solid-state reaction. Superconducting MgB2 powders were compressed in a dye to pellets by a hot pressing technique at 500°C and 1 GPa. The microstructural properties of the MgB2 were determined by X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy, EDX, and Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques. The electrical properties of the fabricated MgB 2 were examined by resistivity measurements in a closed-cycle cryopump system, between 20 and 300 K. The critical temperature (Tc) of the MgB2 pellets was around 32 K.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.
