Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Flexible 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, NurdanHigh-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.

ÇetinThe humidity-sensing properties of ZnO nanowires synthesized by carbothermal catalyst-free vapor solid (VS) technique were studied. The morphology and the crystal structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of the synthesized ZnO nanowires were investigated via quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements. The observed positive frequency shift of ZnO nanowires when loaded on the QCM crystal under varying relative humidity conditions can be explained in terms of visco-elastic variations in their mechanical stiffness.Article Citation - WoS: 138Citation - Scopus: 146Humidity Sensing Properties of Zno Nanoparticles Synthesized by Sol-Gel Process(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Erol, Ayşe; Okur, Salih; Comba, B.; Mermer, Ömer; Arıkan, M. Ç.ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized by the sol-gel method with approximately 10 nm diameter and the humidity adsorption and desorption kinetics of ZnO nanoparticles were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The morphology and crystal structure of the ZnO nanoparticles have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The roughness of the surface has been investigated using atomic force microscope (AFM). The dynamic Langmuir adsorption model was used to determine the kinetic parameters such as adsorption and desorption rates and Gibbs free energy under relative humidity between 45% and 88%. The relative sensitivity of the ZnO nanoparticles-based humidity sensor was determined by electrical resistance measurements. Our reproducible experimental results show that ZnO nanoparticles have a great potential for humidity sensing applications at room temperature operations. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
