Article Influence of Fluorine on Structural and Electrical Properties of VO2 Thin Films Deposited by Magnetron Sputtering(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Akyurek, Bora; Cantas, Ayten; Demirhan, Yasemin; Ozyuzer, Lutfi; Aygun, GulnurThis study investigates whether fluorine-based thermal gel used during electrical measurements of vanadium oxide (VO2) films influences the structural, morphological, or compositional integrity of the films. High-quality VO2 films with a resistance ratio change of about 10(4) for metal-insulator transition were deposited by magnetron sputtering. During electrical characterization, VO2 film was heated from room temperature to similar to 370 K with a fluorine-based thermal gel usage to achieve better heat contact between the film and substrate holder. Structural and chemical properties were assessed through XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM, and energy dispersive spectroscopy imaging. XRD revealed diffraction peaks consistent with monoclinic VO2 confirming that the crystal lattice remains the same although fluorine based thermal gel was used. Raman spectra exhibited vibrational modes indicating that the phonon structure of VO2 was preserved despite fluorine gel usage. XPS results showed only a minor F 1s signal (2.8%) limited only to the film surface. SEM and EDS analyses further confirmed that surface morphology and elemental composition remained belonging to VO2 film. These findings demonstrate that the usage of fluorine-based thermal gel results in only a minimal surface interaction, thereby preserving intrinsic material properties of VO2 and supporting a potential usage for future device fabrication applications.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 33The Controllable Deposition of Large Area Roll-To Sputtered Ito Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications(Elsevier, 2020) Demirhan, Yasemin; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Uyanık, Zemzem; Özdemir, Mehtap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiIn the present study, using a large area roll-to-roll DC magnetron sputtering system deposition of ITO thin films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates were achieved. In order to investigate the effect of growth conditions on the film properties all through the deposition process, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis have been accomplished in a governable way. The consequences of Oxygen partial pressure and film thickness on electrical, and optical properties of the films were determined. It was shown that the intensity of optical emission peaks are subjected to the discharge power and as well as the O-2/Ar flow ratio. Large area, uniform ITO films with relatively high transparency and low electrical resistivity (R(2)(<)50 Omega/sqr) were succesfully deposited on PET substrates. The significance of both the figure of merit (FOM) and the optical band gap values on the performance of different TCO thin films were addressed. In this work, the obtained results suggest that the overall performance is sufficient to implement the ITO films in photovoltaic and OLED applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

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. All rights reserved.
