    (IEEE, 2023) Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Bayram, Abdullah; Aydın, Hasan; Can, Mustafa; Demiç, Şerafettin; Açıkbaş, Yaşar; Çelebi, Cem
    Ammonia (NH3) is a toxic substance resulting in various acute and chronic effects on individuals. NH3 detection, monitoring methods, and detection tools are desperately needed. In this work, we improved the NH3 sensing capabilities of grapheme (GP) films deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) by modifying aromatic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules such as 5-[(3-methylphenyl) (phenyl) amino] isophthalic acid (MeIPA) and 5-(diphenyl)amino] isophthalic acid (PhIPA) on amperometric detection method. Morphological investigations of the films were carried out by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surface potential was characterized with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), and vibrational properties were characterized with Raman spectroscopy. MeIPA modification increased NH3 uptake by two times compared to unmodified GP. The results indicated that the SAM modification enhanced NH3 molecule adsorption and improved its periodic reversible and reproducible response using the amperometric detection system, indicating that SAM molecules might be a feasible probe for NH3. © 2001-2012 IEEE.

    Cvd Graphene/Sic Uv Photodetector With Enhanced Spectral Responsivity and Response Speed
    (Elsevier, 2023) Jehad, Ala K.; Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    A self-powered, high-performance graphene/Silicon Carbide (G/4H-SiC) ultraviolet Schottky junction photodetector has been fabricated, and the effect of using monolayer and bilayer graphene on the device performance parameters was investigated. P-type graphene sheets were grown by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, while 4H-SiC material consists of an epilayer structure of n-/n+ on bulk n-SiC. Two photodetector devices have been studied, one with monolayer graphene (MLG) and the other with bilayer graphene (BLG). The proposed photodetector structure reveals the highest spectral responsivity known of a G/4H-SiC UV photodetector so far. Electronic and optoelectronic characterizations were done under an ultraviolet wavelength range from 240 to 350 nm. The results show two spectral responsivity maxima (Rmax) at 285 nm and 300 nm wavelengths. Exhibiting two maxima in spectral responsivity and detectivity is caused by the constructive and destructive interference effects of multiple reflections at the SiC epilayer's interfaces. The photodetector devices exhibit high spectral responsivity (R ? 0.09 AW?1), maximum detectivity (D* ? 2.9 × 1012 Jones), and minimum noise equivalent power (NEP ? 0.17 pWHz-1/2) in both devices. Using bilayer graphene instead of monolayer showed no significant change in both the photogenerated current and the spectral responsivity due to the higher absorption coefficient of bilayer graphene, however, it exhibited a significant improvement in the response speed. The response speed was found to increase by 50 % when bilayer graphene was used as a hole collecting electrode in the G/4H-SiC junction. This is because bilayer graphene creates a narrower depletion layer and higher electric field, which promotes efficient charge separation and recombination. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Flexible Metal/Semiconductor Type Photodetectors Based on Manganese Doped Zno Nanorods
    (Elsevier, 2023) Karagöz, Emine; Altaf, Çiğdem Tuç; Yaman, Ecenaz; Yıldırım, İpek Deniz; Erdem, Emre; Çelebi, Cem; Fidan, Mehmet; Sankir, Mehmet; Demirci Sankir, Nurdan
    High-performance flexible photodetectors are one of the most interesting research areas due to their great possibilities for a variety of applications such as portable and wearable optoelectronics. This study verifies the performance of flexible metal/semiconductor/metal-type photodetector based on pristine and manganese doped ZnO nanorods (ZnO-NRs) prepared in two different concentrations of zinc precursors and manganese dopant at low temperatures. The photodetectors having ZnO-NRs with high aspect ratios were investigated by various material characterization techniques such as electron paramagnetic resonance and photoluminescence spectroscopy to confirm the relationship between defect concentrations and photodetector performance parameters. It has been calculated that the detectivity (D*) and responsivity (R) of the ZnO nanorod-based photodetectors increased 20 and 18 folds, respectively by increasing the concentration of zinc precursor. Besides the D* and R values of the photodetectors, prepared by the 16.5 mM zinc precursor, increased 18 and 4.5-fold, respectively, after manganese doping. We confirmed that even a very low concentration of zinc precursor could produce a photodetector with high performance in photo-response characteristics, flexibility, and stability against 10,000 cycles of convex/concave bending.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Self-Powered Photodetector Array Based on Individual Graphene Electrode and Silicon-On Integration
    (Elsevier, 2023) Yanılmaz, Alper; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    One of the key limitations for the device performance of the silicon (Si) based photodetector arrays is the optical crosstalk effect encountered between photoactive elements as well. The scope of this work is to reduce optical crosstalk and thus increasing the device performances with graphene and Si integration. This paper presents the design, fabrication process, and performance evaluation of self-powered individual Graphene/Silicon on Insulator (GSOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array (PDA) devices. A 4-element GSOI Schottky barrier PDA with separate graphene electrodes is fabricated to examine possible optical crosstalk encountered between each diode in the array structure. Here, monolayer graphene is utilized as hole collecting separate electrode on individually arrayed n-type Si on SOI substrate by photolithography technique. Each diode in the array exhibited a clear rectifying Schottky character. Photoresponse characterizations revealed that all diodes had excellent device performance even in self-powered mode in terms of an Ilight/Idark ratio up to 104, a responsivity of ∼0.12 A/W, a specific detectivity of around 1.6 × 1012 Jones, and a response speed of ∼1.32 μs at 660 nm wavelength. As revealed by optical crosstalk measurement, the device with pixel pitch of 1.5 mm had a total crosstalk of about 0.10% (−60 dB) per array. These results showed that the optical crosstalk between neighboring n-Si elements can be greatly minimized when graphene is used as separated electrode on arrayed Si on SOI substrate. Our study is expected give an insight into the performance characteristics of GSOI PDA devices which have great potential to be used in many technological applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry and position/motion detection. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Intercalation Leads To Inverse Layer Dependence of Friction on Chemically Doped Mos2
    (IOP Publishing, 2023) Açıkgöz, Oğulcan; Guerrero, Enrique; Yanılmaz, Alper; Dağdeviren, Ömür E.; Çelebi, Cem; Strubbe, David A.; Baykara, Mehmet Z.
    We present results of atomic-force-microscopy-based friction measurements on Re-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). In stark contrast to the widespread observation of decreasing friction with increasing number of layers on two-dimensional (2D) materials, friction on Re-doped MoS2 exhibits an anomalous, i.e. inverse, dependence on the number of layers. Raman spectroscopy measurements combined with ab initio calculations reveal signatures of Re intercalation. Calculations suggest an increase in out-of-plane stiffness that inversely correlates with the number of layers as the physical mechanism behind this remarkable observation, revealing a distinctive regime of puckering for 2D materials.

    Graphene/Soi-based Self-Powered Schottky Barrier Photodiode Array
    (American Institute of Physics, 2022) Yanılmaz, Alper; Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    We have fabricated a four-element graphene/silicon on insulator (SOI) based Schottky barrier photodiode array (PDA) and investigated its optoelectronic device performance. In our device design, monolayer graphene is utilized as a common electrode on a lithographically defined linear array of n-type Si channels on a SOI substrate. As revealed by wavelength resolved photocurrent spectroscopy measurements, each element in the PDA structure exhibited a maximum spectral responsivity of around 0.1 A/W under a self-powered operational mode. Time-dependent photocurrent spectroscopy measurements showed excellent photocurrent reversibility of the device with ∼1.36 and ∼1.27 μs rise time and fall time, respectively. Each element in the array displayed an average specific detectivity of around 1.3 × 1012 Jones and a substantially small noise equivalent power of ∼0.14 pW/Hz-1/2. The study presented here is expected to offer exciting opportunities in terms of high value-added graphene/Si based PDA device applications such as multi-wavelength light measurement, level metering, high-speed photometry, and position/motion detection.

    Anisotropic Etching of Cvd Grown Graphene for Ammonia Sensing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Bayram, Abdullah; Aydın, Hasan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Açıkbaş, Yaser; Peeters, François M.; Çelebi, Cem
    Bare chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene (GRP) was anisotropically etched with various etching parameters. The morphological and structural characterizations were carried out by optical microscopy and the vibrational properties substrates were obtained by Raman spectroscopy. The ammonia adsorption and desorption behavior of graphene-based sensors were recorded via quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements at room temperature. The etched samples for ambient NH3 exhibited nearly 35% improvement and showed high resistance to humidity molecules when compared to bare graphene. Besides exhibiting promising sensitivity to NH3 molecules, the etched graphene-based sensors were less affected by humidity. The experimental results were collaborated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and it was shown that while water molecules fragmented into H and O, NH3 interacts weakly with EGPR2 sample which reveals the enhanced sensing ability of EGPR2. Apparently, it would be more suitable to use EGRP2 in sensing applications due to its sensitivity to NH3 molecules, its stability, and its resistance to H2O molecules in humid ambient.

    Enhancing the Photo-Response Characteristics of Graphene/N-si Based Schottky Barrier Photodiodes by Increasing the Number of Graphene Layers
    (AVS, 2022) Fidan, Mehmet; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    The impact of the number of graphene layers on the spectral responsivity and response speed of graphene/n-type Si (Gr/n-Si)-based Schottky barrier photodiodes is investigated. Gr/n-Si photodiode devices are fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene layers one by one on n-Si substrates, reaching up to three graphene layers. The devices show a clear rectifying Schottky character and have a maximum responsivity at a peak wavelength of 905 nm. Wavelength-resolved and time-dependent photocurrent measurements demonstrated that both spectral responsivity and response speed are enhanced as the number of graphene layers is increased from 1 to 3 on n-Si substrates. For example, the spectral responsivity and the response speed of the fabricated device were found to be improved by about 15% (e.g., from 0.65 to 0.75 AW-1) and 50% (e.g., 14 to 7 μs), respectively, when three graphene layers are used as the hole-collecting cathode electrode. The experimentally obtained results showed that the device parameters, such as spectral responsivity and response speed of Gr/n-Si Schottky barrier photodiodes, can be boosted simply by increasing the number of graphene layers on n-Si substrates.

    Light-Induced Modification of the Schottky Barrier Height in Graphene/Si Based Near-Infrared Photodiodes
    (Elsevier, 2022) Fidan, Mehmet; Dönmez, Gülçin; Yanılmaz, Alper; Ünverdi, Özhan; Çelebi, Cem
    The impact of light on the Schottky barrier height (SBH) in p-type graphene/n-type Si (p-Gr/n-Si) based near-infrared photodiodes is investigated. Hall effect and optoelectronic transport measurements carried out under illumination of 905 nm wavelength light showed that zero-bias SBH in such photodiodes can be effectively tuned in a range between 0.7 and 0.9 eV consistent with the variation in their open-circuit voltage. Shockley-Read-Hall model, which considers the charge recombination through mid-gap and interface states at the p-Gr/n-Si heterojunction, is used to explain the experimentally observed nonlinear dependence of SBH on the incident light. Light induced tunability of SBH at the graphene/semiconductor heterojunction is of great importance especially for the development of new generation optically driven devices in which graphene acts as a functioning element.

    The Role of Charge Distribution on the Friction Coefficients of Epitaxial Graphene Grown on the Si-Terminated and C-Terminated Faces of Sic
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Keskin, Yasemin; Ünverdi, Özhan; Erbahar, Doğan; Kaya, İsmet İnönü; Çelebi, Cem
    The friction coefficients of single-layer epitaxial graphene grown on the Si-terminated and C-terminated faces of Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate were measured under ambient conditions using Friction Force Microscope (FFM). The lateral friction force measurements acquired in the applied normal force range between 4.0 and 16.0 nN showed that the friction coefficient of graphene on the C-terminated face of SiC is about two times smaller than the one grown on its Si-terminated face. The lateral friction was found to be decreased as the average of root mean square roughness increases suggesting the observed difference in the friction coefficients cannot be related to the roughness of the graphene layers. DFT calculations demonstrated that the altered periodicity of charge distribution on graphene due to the specific interactions with two distinct polar faces of SiC substrate might explain the observed difference in the friction coefficients.
