    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.

    Cleavage Induced Rows of Missing Atoms on Znte (110) Surface
    (American Physical Society, 2013) Çelebi, Cem; Arı, Ozan; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul
    Cleavage induced rows of linear vacancy structures on p-doped ZnTe (110) surface are studied at room temperature by using cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (X-STM). The oscillating contrast superimposed on the Te-driven occupied states neighboring to the vacancy cores are characterized at the atomic scale in order to determine the type of the missing component on the ZnTe surface matrix. We identify three major intensity distributions associated with different vacancy states. The X-STM images of three possible configurations comprising Zn only, Te only, and ZnTe binary vacancy structures on the ZnTe surface are modeled by using ab initio density functional theory calculations. The comparison of the X-STM measurements of each individual vacancy state to the corresponding theoretical simulation showed that unlike the Te vacancy, which leads to a local depression, the absence of Zn only or ZnTe binary gives rise to hillock features on the neighboring Te states of the ZnTe (110) cleaved surface. The theoretical STM images calculated for an undoped ZnTe crystal imply that possible doping-related effects on vacancy-induced features can be disregarded for interpreting the experimentally observed vacancy structures in our samples.
