Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 10Effect of Annealing on the Density of Defects in Epitaxial Cdte (211)/Gaas(Springer, 2018) Bakali, Emine; Selamet, Yusuf; Tarhan, EnverCdTe thin films were grown on GaAs (211) wafers by molecular beam epitaxy as the buffer layer for HgCdTe infrared detector applications. We studied the effect of annealing on the density of dislocation of these CdTe thin films under varying annealing parameters such as annealing temperature, annealing duration, and number of cycles. Annealings were carried out using a homemade annealing reactor possessing a special heater element made of a Si wafer for rapid heating. The density of dislocations, which were made observable with a scanning electron microscope after etching with an Everson solution, were calculated by counting the number of dislocations per unit surface area, hence the term etch pit density (EPD). We were able to decrease EPD values by one order of magnitude after annealing. For example, the best EPD value after a 20-min annealing at 400°C was ∼ 2 × 107 cm−2 for a 1.63-μm CdTe thin film which was about 9.5 × 107 cm−2 before annealing. We also employed Raman scattering measurements to see the changes in the structural quality of the samples. From the Raman measurements, we were able to see improvements in the quality of our samples from the annealing by studying the ratio of 2LO/LO phonon mode Raman intensities. We also observed a clear decrease in the intensity of Te precipitations-related modes, indicating a decrease in the size and number of these precipitations.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: 54Citation - Scopus: 53Nitrogen Doping for Facile and Effective Modification of Graphene Surfaces(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Yanılmaz, Alper; Tomak, Aysel; Akbalı, Barış; Bacaksız, Cihan; Özçeri, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Selamet, Yusuf; Zareie, Hadi M.We report experimental and theoretical investigations of nitrogen doped graphene. A low-pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) system was used to grow large-area graphene on copper foil, using ethylene as the carbon source. Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) was prepared by exposing the graphene transferred to different substrates to atomic nitrogen plasma. The effect of varying nitrogen flow rates on doping of graphene was investigated while keeping the power and time constant during the process. The N-graphene was characterized via Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Raman mapping of N-graphene was also performed to show homogeneity of nitrogen on the graphitic lattice. XPS results have revealed the presence of different nitrogen configurations in the graphitic lattice with similar doping concentrations. Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations showed that the periodic adsorption of N atoms predominantly occurs on top of the C atoms rather than through substitution of C in our N-graphene samples. Our results indicate a feasible procedure for producing N-graphene with homogenous and effective doping which would be valuable in electronic and optical applications.Other Erratum To: Mbe-Grown Cdte Layers on Gaas With In-Assisted Thermal Deoxidation(Springer Verlag, 2016) Arı, Ozan; Bilgilisoy, Elif; Özçeri, Elif; Selamet, YusufArticle Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Mbe-Grown Cdte Layers on Gaas With In-Assisted Thermal Deoxidation(Springer Verlag, 2016) Arı, Ozan; Bilgilisoy, Elif; Özçeri, Elif; Selamet, YusufMolecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of thin (∼2 μm) CdTe layers characterized by high crystal quality and low defect density on lattice mismatched substrates, such as GaAs and Si, has thus far been difficult to achieve. In this work, we report the effects of in situ thermal deoxidation under In and As4 overpressure prior to the CdTe growth on epiready GaAs(211)B wafers, aiming to enhance CdTe crystal quality. Thermally deoxidized GaAs samples were analyzed using in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, along with ex situ x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy. MBE-grown CdTe layers were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Everson-type wet chemical defect decoration etching. We found that In-assisted desorption allowed for easier surface preparation and resulted in a smoother surface compared to As-assisted surface preparation. By applying In-assisted thermal deoxidation to GaAs substrates prior to the CdTe growth, we have obtained single crystal CdTe films with a CdTe(422) XRD rocking curve with a full-width half-maximum value of 130.8 arc-s and etch pit density of 4 × 106 cm−2 for 2.54 μm thickness. We confirmed, by XPS analysis, no In contamination on the thermally deoxidized surface.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Characterization of Cdte Growth on Gaas Using Different Etching Techniques(Springer Verlag, 2015) Bilgilisoy, Elif; Özden, Selin; Bakali, Emine; Karakaya, Merve; Selamet, YusufCdTe buffer layers which were grown on (211)B GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy were subjected to two different etch treatments to quantify the crystal quality and dislocation density. The optical properties and thicknesses of the samples were obtained by ex situ spectroscopic ellipsometry. The surface morphologies of the CdTe epilayers were analyzed by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Nomarski microscopy before and after chemical etching. We compare the triangle- and trapezoid-shaped etch pits due to the Everson and Nakagawa etch solutions, respectively. Measured etch pit density (EPD) values of triangle etch pits were found in the 8 × 107 cm−2 to 2 × 108 cm−2 range, and trapezoid-shaped etch pits were found in the 1 × 107 cm−2 to 7 × 107 cm−2 range for samples with thicknesses <2 μm.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Influence of Buffer Layers on Ni Thin Film Structure and Graphene Growth by Cvd(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2015) Özçeri, Elif; Selamet, YusufBuffer and/or adhesive layers were used to decrease the dewetting of Ni thin film at graphene growth temperatures of around 900 °C. Depositing a thin buffer (Al2O3) layer onto SiO2/Si substrate significantly reduced the dewetting effect and surface roughness of Ni catalyst film. Thin adhesive (Cr) layers with or without Al2O3 buffer layers increased the texturing in (1 1 1) orientation, which was promoted by growing at an elevated temperature (450 °C). The effects of pretreatment and growth temperature on crystal orientation, grain size and surface roughness of Ni film were analyzed. Our results indicated a large positive correlation coefficient between the film thickness and surface roughness for thinner and non-buffered films, and a negative correlation coefficient between the thickness and 900 °C -annealed film roughness for thicker and buffered films. The graphene coverage was greatly improved over the films grown with Al2O3 and/or Cr layers. In summary, we suggest that growing high quality, large area, 1- or 2-layer graphene on polycrystalline Ni transition metal thin film is optimized by using Al2O3 and/or Cr layers to reduce Ni dewetting, surface roughness, and groove depth while controlling grain size and texturing in (1 1 1) orientation by annealing at 900 °C.Article Citation - WoS: 266Citation - Scopus: 292High Quality Ito Thin Films Grown by Dc and Rf Sputtering Without Oxygen(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010) Tuna, Öcal; Selamet, Yusuf; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiHigh quality indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were grown without oxygen by both dc and RF magnetron sputtering techniques on glass substrates. The effects of substrate temperature, film thickness and sputtering method on the structural, electrical and optical properties of the as-grown films were investigated. The results showed that the substrate temperature had substantial effects on the film properties, in particular on the crystallization and resistivity. When the substrate temperature was increased to 150 °C, crystallization in the (2 2 2) plane started appearing for both dc and RF sputtered films. We additionally found that with further increments of substrate temperature, the preferred crystallization orientation changed differently for dc and RF sputtered films. Optical transmission in the visible region for a film thickness of 70 nm was found to be above 85%. The bandgap was calculated to be about 3.64 eV for the substrate temperature of 150 °C for a 70 nm thick film. The value of the bandgap increased with respect to the increment in film thickness as well as substrate temperature. We also measured the temperature dependence of the resistivity and Hall coefficient of the films, and calculated the carrier concentration and Hall mobility. Very low room temperature resistivities for dc and RF magnetron sputtered grown films of about 1.28 × 10-4 Ω cm and 1.29 × 10-4 Ω cm, respectively, were obtained. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Carbon Nanotube Diameter Tuning Using Hydrogen Amount and Temperature on Sio2/Si Substrates(Springer Verlag, 2010) Aksak, Meral; Selamet, YusufCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on thin iron (Fe) films on SiO 2/Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at four different hydrogen (H2)/methane (CH4) ratios at temperatures ranging from 925 to 1000°C. The effects of temperature and the amount of hydrogen gas on the mean diameter at increasing temperature were examined. We demonstrated that the mean diameter and its distribution depend not only on temperature but also on the H2 amount. We showed that increasing H2 amount strongly affects the structure of CNTs, especially at high growth temperature; the mean diameter at 1000°C reduced from about 383 to 34 nm by increasing H2 amount from 24 to 50 sccm. We observed that at high temperature growth the mean diameter was decreasing very fast initially with increasing H2 amount suggesting the dominance of H2 over the growth temperature. A decrease in the slope of diameter vs. H 2 amount with further increment in H2 amount implied that the temperature was, then, deciding the CNT diameter through catalyst particle coarsening. The statistical analysis presented implies that the H2 amount has to be adjusted according to the growth temperature for given CH 4 amount to keep CNT diameter under control, and the large diameter distributions at high temperature and high H2 amount can be associated with the large variation in the catalyst particle sizes. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
