Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Study of Boron Doped Amorphous Silicon Lightly Hydrogenated Prepared by Dc Magnetron Sputtering for Infrared Detectors Applications(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Ketroussi, K.; Cherfi, R.; Yahia, Seba, H.; Tata, S.; Chabane, L.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Rahal, A.The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of boron doping concentration on the bolometric properties of lightly hydrogenated amorphous silicon doped with boron (a-Si: H(B)) films. Thin film a-Si: H(B) samples with different boron concentrations are prepared by co-sputtering of boron and silicon at relatively low hydrogen pressure. FTIR analyses show that the intensity of the characteristic peak of the substitutional boron gradually increases with the addition of boron. Increasing in boron concentration affects the bolometric properties of the lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films, including conductivity at room temperature (?RT) and thermal resistance coefficient (TCR). Indeed, when the boron concentration increases from 1.5 to 43%, ?RT increases from 1.4 10?6 to 2 10?3 ??1 cm?1 while the absolute value of TCR decreases from 3% to 8% K?1, respectively. In addition, lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films exhibit good thermal stability. We have showed in this study that lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H(B) can be considered as a potential candidate for low-cost, high-performance uncooled micro bolometers. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of the Synthesis Conditions on the Properties of Co Embedded Porous Si Nanostructures(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Çetinel, Alper; Artunç, Nurcan; Tarhan, EnverThe electrodeposition of cobalt in the porous silicon (PSi) substrate was investigated in terms of the deposition times and current densities. The PSi/Co samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The results indicated that for all current densities, the PL intensities of PSi/Co samples with shorter deposition times (t(s) <= 20 min) increased due to spherical Co nanoparticles (NPs) could be created the new recombination centers, compared to that of the undeposited PSi. On the other hand, the PL intensity of PSi/Co samples significantly decreased at longer deposition times (t(1) > 20 min) because of larger Co NP cluster promoted the formation of non-radiative centers. The increased PL intensities in samples with t(s) were attributed to both the quantum confinement effect and surface effects. PL analyses also suggested that after exposure to air for 60 days, PL characteristics of PSi/Co were stabilized depending on deposition time and current density.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Atomic-scale understanding of dichlorobenzene-assisted poly 3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl nanowire formation mechanism(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Kıymaz, D.; Zafer, C.; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, HasanLow-dimensional Poly 3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl (P3HT) structures that serve efficient exciton dissociation in organic solar cells, play a major role in increasing the charge collection, and hence, the efficiency of organic devices. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the Dichlorobenzene (DCB)-assisted formation of P3HT nanowires. Our experiments show that the solution of DCB molecules drive randomly oriented P3HT polymers to form well-stacked nanowires by stabilizing tail-tail and π−π interactions. Here the question is how DCB molecules migrate into the P3HT layers while forming the nanowire structure. Our density functional theory-based calculations reveal that the vertical migration of the DCB molecules between P3HT layers is forbidden due to a high energy barrier that stems from strong alkyl chain-DCB interaction. In contrast to vertical diffusion, lateral diffusion of DCB molecules in between P3HT layers is much more likely. Our results show that migration of a DCB molecule occurs through the alkyl groups with a low energy barrier. Therefore, laterally diffused DCB molecules assist nucleation of top-to-top stacking of P3HT polymers and formation of well-ordered nanowires.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Synthesis and Characterization of Cationic Lipid Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles Using Multiple Emulsions as Microreactors(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Akbaba, Hasan; Karagöz, Uğur; Selamet, Yusuf; Kantarcı, A. GültenThe aim of this study was to develop a novel iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis method with in-situ surface coating. For this purpose multiple emulsions were used as microreactors for the first time and magnetic iron oxide particles synthesized in the core of cationic solid lipid nanoparticles. DLS, SEM, TEM, VSM, Raman Spectrometer, XRD, and XPS techniques were performed for characterization of the magnetic nanoparticles. Obtained magnetic nanoparticles are superparamagnetic and no additional process was needed for surface adjustments. They are positively charged as a result of cationic lipid coating and has appropriate particle size (<30 nm) for drug or nucleic acid delivery. Structure analysis showed that magnetic core material is in the form of magnetite. Saturation magnetization value was measured as 15–17 emu g−1 for lipid coated magnetic nanoparticles obtained by multiple emulsion method which is reasonably sufficient for magnetic targeting.Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 61Electronic and Optical Properties of Bilayer Blue Phosphorus(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Moğulkoç, Yeşim; Modarresi, Mohsen; Moğulkoç, Aybey; Çiftci, YaseminWe investigate the electronic and optical properties of monolayer and stacking dependent bilayer blue phosphorus in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) and tight-binding approximations. We extract the hopping parameters of TB Hamiltonian for monolayer and bilayer blue phosphorus by using the DFT results. The variation of energy band gap with applied external electric field for two different stacks of bilayer blue phosphorus are also shown. We examine the linear response of the systems due to the external electromagnetic radiation in terms of the dielectric functions in the DFT theory. The relatively large electronic band gap and possibility of exfoliation form bulk structure due to weak interlayer coupling, make blue phosphorus an appropriate candidate for future electronic devices.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 64Improvement of Optical and Electrical Properties of Ito Thin Films by Electro-Annealing(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Köseoğlu, Hasan; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Kurt, Metin; Yaman, Mutlu Devran; Akça, Fatime Gülşah; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiThe effect of electro-annealing in vacuum and air on the optical and electrical properties of ITO thin films grown by large area DC magnetron sputtering was investigated. Moreover, the performances of the electro-annealed ITO thin films in vacuum and air were compared. Electro-annealing was performed by applying 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 A constant ac current to the ITO thin films. It was observed that the crystallinity of the films was better for the ITO thin films electro-annealed in vacuum. The changes in sheet resistance of electro-annealed ITO thin films with applied currents were detailed. The transmittance of the films increased for both electro-annealing in vacuum and air. A correlation between band-gap and resistivity for all of the electro-annealed thin films was observed.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Area Dependence and Influence of Crystal Inhomogeneity on Superconducting Properties of Bi2212 Mesa Structures(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Demirhan, Yasemin; Sağlam, Hilal; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Alaboz, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Kadowaki, K.The rapid increase in applications of terahertz waves requires new techniques to obtain continuous wave terahertz sources. Mesa structures fabricated from high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystal have been observed as an intense, coherent, continuous electromagnetic wave source in the terahertz (THz) frequency region. However, in order to produce coherent radiation with high applicable power, we need large mesa structures that enter a collective electromagnetic state in which their oscillations are largely synchronized in phase. On the other hand, large mesa structures cause a heating problem. In this study, we report on the critical current density dependence of mesa area and the crystal inhomogeneity to understand heating problems in large area mesas for terahertz radiation. Since the doping dependence of Bi2212 is an important parameter, the as-grown Bi2212 crystals were heat-treated at various temperatures under vacuum conditions. We have fabricated triple mesa structures from Bi2212 single crystal using e-beam lithography and argon ion beam etching techniques with same area and with different area on the same chip. We investigated and compared characteristics of triple mesas which are on the same chip and next to each other. In this way, we searched the crystal inhomogeneity in triple mesa structures and studied the critical current density dependence of mesa area to obtain high emission power for the THz radiation. Our experimental results clearly show that the Josephson critical current density is decreasing when the area of mesa is increasing. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Since any tunneling phenomenon inevitably evokes a tunneling time, we attempt an analytical calculation of tunneling times by defining an operator well suited in discrete spatial geometry. The results that we come up with hint at appearance of the Quantum Zeno Effect in polymer framework.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Preparation of the Ferrocene-Substituted 1,3-Distal P-Tert Based Qcm Sensors Array and Utilization of Its Gas-Sensing Affinities(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Sayın, Serkan; Özbek, Cebrail; Okur, Salih; Yılmaz, MustafaThe article describes the synthesis of the new ferrocene-substituted calix[4]arene derivative 4 as sensitive layer, and suggests that the immobilization of it is on a quartz crystal microbalance gold electrode via the drop-casting method in order to produce the calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor. In addition, sensor response of the calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor was investigated towards carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The sensing and selectivity studies show that the ferrocene-substituted calix[4]arene-based QCM sensor is an effective gas sensor toward both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
