    The Synthesis of Ferromagnetic La0.75ca0.25mno3 Nanowires by a Sol-Gel Method
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2010) Atalay, Funda E.; Yağmur, V.; Atalay, Selçuk; Kaya, Harun; Tarı, Süleyman; Avşar, D.
    In this study, densely packed La0.75Ca0.25MnO3 (LCMO) nanowires were synthesized within a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by means of a sol-gel method using nitrate as raw material and ethylene glycol as the chelating agent. It was observed from measurements of hysteresis curves that the magnetic behavior of the LCMO nanowire arrays was strongly dependent on the pH of the solution. As it has been reported that bulk polycrystalline La0.75Ca0.25MnO3 samples have a Curie temperature of 224 K [1], it is interesting to find that nanowires produced at pH 3 show ferromagnetic properties at room temperature

    Symmergent Gravity, Seesawic New Physics, and Their Experimental Signatures
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2019) Demir, Durmuş Ali
    The standard model of elementary particles (SM) suffers from various problems, such as power-law ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity, exclusion of general relativity (GR), and absence of a dark matter candidate. The LHC experiments, according to which the TeV domain appears to be empty of new particles, started sidelining TeV-scale SUSY and other known cures of the UV sensitivity. In search for a remedy, in this work, it is revealed that affine curvature can emerge in a way restoring gauge symmetries explicitly broken by the UV cutoff. This emergent curvature cures the UV sensitivity and incorporates GR as symmetry-restoring emergent gravity (symmergent gravity, in brief) if a new physics sector (NP) exists to generate the Planck scale and if SM+NP is Fermi-Bose balanced. This setup, carrying fingerprints of trans-Planckian SUSY, predicts that gravity is Einstein (no higher-curvature terms), cosmic/gamma rays can originate from heavy NP scalars, and the UV cutoff might take right value to suppress the cosmological constant (alleviating fine-tuning with SUSY). The NP does not have to couple to the SM. In fact, NP-SM coupling can take any value from zero to Lambda SM2/Lambda NP2 if the SM is not to jump from Lambda SM approximate to 500GeV to the NP scale Lambda NP. The zero coupling, certifying an undetectable NP, agrees with all the collider and dark matter bounds at present. The seesawic bound Lambda SM2/Lambda NP2, directly verifiable at colliders, implies that (i) dark matter must have a mass less than or similar to Lambda SM, (ii) Higgs-curvature coupling must be approximate to 1.3%, (iii) the SM RGEs must remain nearly as in the SM, and (iv) right-handed neutrinos must have a mass less than or similar to 1000TeV. These signatures serve as a concise testbed for symmergence.

    The Synthesis of Super-Hydrophilic and Hard Mgb2 Coatings as an Alternative To Electroless Nickel Coatings
    (Slovenska Akademia Vied, 2018) Bülbüll, Ferhat; Güney, M.; Jafarpour, Somaiyeh
    In this study, we report the electroless deposition using an alternative technique for the fabrication of hard and super-hydrophilic MgB2 films. MgB2 films on AZ91 magnesium alloys were prepared using an electroless bath containing magnesium diboride nanopowders, sodium hypophosphite, sodium succinate, sodium acetate, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The electroless deposition was carried out in a bath kept at a bath temperature of 95 degrees C for 60 min. After deposition, the coated samples were annealed at 300 degrees C for 60 min to investigate crystallization, morphology, and the changes in the hardness and wettability. The phase composition, morphology, the hardness, and the contact angle of produced coatings were studied by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, microhardness tester, and contact angle measurement system, respectively. The coatings exhibited a dense and nodular structure with strong grain connections. As-deposited and annealed MgB2 films showed an orientation with the (101) reflection, and the highest hardness value (500 HV0.01) was obtained from the annealed coating. Both synthesized coatings had a super-hydrophilic surface.

    Cnt Incorporated Polyacrilonitrile/Polypyrrole Nanofibers as Keratinocytes Scaffold
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2019) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Aypek, Hande; Öztürk, Özgür; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Özçivici, Engin; Meşe, Gülistan; Selamet, Yusuf
    Polypyrrole (PPy) is an attractive scaffold material for tissue engineering with its non-toxic and electrically conductive properties. There has not been enough information about PPy usage in skin tissue engineering. The aim of this study is to investigate biocompatibility of polyacrilonitrile (PAN)/PPy nanofibrous scaffold for human keratinocytes. PAN/PPy bicomponent nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, in various PPy concentrations and with carbon nanotube (CNT) incorporation. The average diameter of electrospun nanofibers decreased with increasing PPy concentration. Further, agglomerated CNTs caused beads and disordered parts on the surface of nanofibers. Biocompatibility of these PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds were analyzed in vitro. Both scaffolds provided adhesion and proliferation of keratinocytes. Nanofiber diameter did not significantly influence the morphology of cells. However, with increasing number of cells, cells stayed among nanofibers and this affected their shape and size. In this study, we demonstrated that PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds enabled the growth of keratinocytes, showing their biocompatibility.

    The 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, Enver
    Silver 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.

    Thermally and Optically Tunable Sub-Terahertz Superconducting Fishnet Metamaterial
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Sabah, Cumali; Mulla, Batuhan; Altan, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    In this paper, a novel fishnet metamaterial structure is designed and analyzed under different material combinations and under different active controlling techniques. The results indicate that, the proposed fishnet metamaterial has a single resonance with double negativity at 0.39 THz when quartz substrate and aluminum is utilized in the design. Moreover, when the metallic parts are replaced with YBCO, the proposed design also exhibits double negativity with a stronger resonance and can be used as a switch between the double negative and single negative modes if the temperature is altered. In addition to these, when substrate (quartz) is replaced with MgO, the resonance shifts from 0.39 THz to 0.26 THz and shows double negativity. Moreover, switching properties under illumination can also be obtained when the silicon is utilized in the design (MgO-YBCO combination). According to these results, it is found that, in the case that the conductivity of silicon exceeds a certain value, the character of the resonance changes from double negative to the single negative mode.

    Comparison of Photocatalytic Properties of Tio2 Thin Films and Fibers
    (EDP Sciences, 2016) Özdemir, Mehtap; Kurt, Metin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Aygün, Gülnur
    Efficiency of solar panels degrades as a result of organic contamination such as airborne particles, bird droppings and leaves. Any foreign object on photovoltaic panels reduces the sunlight entering the absorbing surface of the solar panels. Since this leads to a major problem decreasing in energy production, solar panels should be cleaned. The self-cleaning method can be preferred. There are some methods to clean the surface of solar panels. Among the self-cleaning materials, TiO2 is the most preferable ones because of its powerful photocatalytic properties. In this study, photocatalytic TiO2 were produced in two different nanostructures: nanofibers and thin films. TiO2 nanofibers were successfully produced by electrospinning. TiO2 thin films were fabricated by reactive magnetron sputtering technique. Both TiO2 nanofiber and thin film structures were heat-treated to form TiO2 in anatase phase at 600 °C for 2 h in air. Then, they were evaluated by SEM analyses for morphology, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses for phase structures, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the chemical state and atomic concentration, and UV-spectrometer for photocatalytic performance. The results indicate that photocatalytic and transmittance properties of TiO2 thin films are better than those of nanofibers. Consequently, TiO2 based thin films exhibit better performance for solar cell applications due to the surface cleanliness.

    The Effect of Thickness of Silver Thin Film on Structural and Optical Properties of Porous Silicon
    (World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2017) Çetinel, A.; Özdoğan, M.; Utlu, G.; Artunç, N.; Şahin, G.; Tarhan, Enver
    In this study, porous silicon (PS) samples were prepared on n-type silicon (100) wafers by electrochemical etching method, varying the current density from 20 to 100mA/cm2 and keeping constant HF concentration (10%) and etching time of 15min. Then, Ag thin films, which have 10, 50 and 100nm film thicknesses, were deposited on PS layers by using thermal evaporation to investigate the influence of Ag film thickness on structural and optical properties of PS. The structural and optical properties of PS and Ag deposited PS layers have been investigated by XRD, FE-SEM, Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. FE-SEM XRD and Raman analyzes indicate that average pore size and porosity of PS layers increase with the increasing current density. Further, Ag nanoparticles have embedded in pore channel. PL measurement reveals that higher porosity of PS would be better to form the Ag-PS nano-composite material leading to stronger PL band. The PL spectra of PS and Ag-PS samples indicate that PL bands show blue shift with increasing current density and film thickness. Consequently, it has been found that the structural and optical properties of PS depend on current density and Ag film thickness individually.
