    Study of the Effect of Various Chemical Polishing Treatments on Mbe-Grown Cdte/Gaas (211)b Heterostructures
    (Sakarya University, 2020) Bilgilisoy, E.; Özçeri, E.; Tarhan, E.
    A three-inch-diameter high quality CdTe thin film was grown on a GaAs (211)B substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in ultra-high vacuum conditions. The CdTe/GaAs (211)B heterostructure was then cut into several sample pieces. A few as-grown sample pieces were subjected to chemical etching solutions which created etch pits on the surface. The scanning electron microscopy images of such samples were used to calculate the etch pit densities on the surface. In addition, several as-grown samples were subjected to chemical polishing treatments under different conditions to quantify the removal of O and Te-O structures from the surface. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine as-grown and polished surface morphology and the polish rate of chemical solutions. A study of the surface stoichiometry and the chemical composition of the as-grown and polished CdTe (211)B surfaces were carried out by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Bulk structural qualities of the as-grown and polished samples were studied in terms of the vibrational and phonon modes via confocal Raman spectroscopy. From a comparative analyses of the results, the best chemical polishing conditions for the MBE-grown CdTe (211)B heterostructure were determined. © 2020, Sakarya University. All rights reserved.

    Investigation of Interactions of Acetylene Molecules With an Iron Nanowire and Its Effects on Mechanical Tensile Properties
    (Sakarya University, 2021) Aral, G.
    Understanding complex atomistic-scales interactions mechanisms of reactive acetylene (C2H2) molecules with reactive pure iron nanowires (Fe NWs) including its effects on the tensile mechanical properties of NWs is a crucial task in nanotechnology, especially having practical significance in the mechanical reliability, durability and stability. Therefore, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on ReaxFF reactive force field interatomic potential model to investigate the interactions of C2H2 molecules with surface of cylindrical pure Fe NW and its fundamental effects on the tensile mechanical deformations properties of NWs at three different strain rates. Our results reveal that the chemical energetic reactions on the free surface of cylindrical Fe NW with C2H2 molecules in the gas phase form FexCyHz shell layer at temperature T=300 K. The presence of FexCyHz shell layer on the free surface of NW has a significant effect on the mechanical tensile deformation mechanism of the NWs. © 2021, Sakarya University. All rights reserved.
