Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Strain Tunable Band Structure of a New 2d Carbon Allotrope C-568(IOS Press, 2020) Gao, Qiang; Kang, Jun; Şahin, HasanRecently, C(568)has emerged as a new carbon allotrope, which shows semiconducting properties with a band gap around 1 eV and has attracted much attention. In this work, the external strain effects on the electronic properties of C(568)have been studied theoretically through first-principle calculations. The numerical results show that while in-plane uniaxial and biaxial strains both reduces the band gap of C(568)in case of tensile strain, their effects are quite different in the case of compressive strain. With increasing compressive uniaxial strain, the band gap of C(568)first increases, and then dramatically decreases. In contrast, the application of compressive biaxial strain up to -10% only leads to a slight increase of band gap. Moreover, an indirect-to-direct gap transition can be realized under both types of compressive strain. The results also show that the optical anisotropy of C(568)can be induced under uniaxial strain, while biaxial strain does not cause such an effect. These results indicate good strain tunability of the band structure of C-568, which could be helpful for the design and optimization of C-568-based nanodevices.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 9Sub-Bandgap Optical Absorption Spectroscopy of Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films Prepared Using Hot-Wire Cvd (cat-Cvd) Process(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Göktaş, Oktay; Işık, Nebile; Okur, Salih; Güneş, Mehmet; Carius, Reinhard; Klomfaß, Josef; Finger, FriedhelmHydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) thin films with different silane concentration (SC) have been prepared using the HW-CVD technique. Dual beam photoconductivity (DBP), photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), and transmission measurements have been used to investigate the optical properties of the μc-Si:H films. Two different sub-bandgap absorption, α(hν), methods have been applied and analyzed to obtain a better insight into the electronic states involved. A good agreement has been obtained in the absorption spectrum obtained from the PDS and DBP measurements at energies above the bandgap. Differences between PDS and DBP spectra exist below the bandgap energy where DBP spectra always give lower α(hν) values and show a dependence on the SC. For some films, differences exist in the α(hν) spectra when the DBP measurements are carried out through the film and substrate side. In addition, for some films, there remains fringe pattern left on the spectrum after the calculation of the fringe-free absorption spectrum, which indicates structural inhomogeneities present throughout the film.Article Developing a Trilayer Processing Technique for Superconducting Yba 2cu3o7-? Thin Films by Using Ge Ion Implantation(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2005) Avcı, İlbeyi; Tepe, Mustafa; Öktem, Bülent; Serincan, Uğur; Turan, Raşit; Abukay, DoğanFor making trilayer superconducting devices based on YBa2Cu 3O7-δ (YBCO) thin film processing, we developed a new technique by employing Ge ion implantation. A YBCO thin film of 150 nm thickness having high c-axis orientation and a transition temperature, T c, of 90 K was implanted with 80 keV, 1 × 1016 Ge ions cm-2 at room temperature. By the result of TRIM calculation, Ge ions were found to penetrate into the YBCO thin film approximately 60 nm below the surface of the film, thus leaving the lower part of the film as a superconductor. Upon implantation with Ge ions, the implanted upper part of the sample lost its electrical conductivity and diamagnetism while its original crystalline structure was preserved. The implanted ions we found did not alter the overall crystal structure of the YBCO thin film; this allowed us to grow an epitaxial superconducting upper layer of YBCO on top of the implanted area, leaving no need to use any buffer layer. The superconducting properties of the upper layer were similar to those of the pure YBCO base layer with an increased room temperature resistivity and a lowered Tc (88 K). This process provides an effective method for fabrication of a trilayer HTS device structure.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 27Understanding the Effect of Skin Formation on the Removal of Solvents From Semicrystalline Polymers(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2005) Wong, Sim-Siong; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Mallapragada, Surya K.The effect of glassy skin formation on the drying of semicrystalline polymers was investigated with a comprehensive mathematical model developed for multicomponent systems. Polymers with high glass-transition temperatures can become rubbery at room temperature under the influence of solvents. As the solvents are removed from the polymer, a glassy skin can form and continue to develop. The model takes into account the effects of diffusion-induced polymer crystallization as well as glassy-rubbery transitions on the overall solvent content and polymer crystallinity. A Vrentas-Duda free-volume-based diffusion scheme and crystallization kinetics were used in our model. The polymer-solvent system chosen was a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-water-methanol system. The drying kinetics of PVA films were obtained by gravimetric methods with swollen films with known water/methanol concentrations. The overall drying behaviors of the polymer system determined by our model and experimental methods were compared and found to match well.Article Citation - WoS: 263Palladium Nanoparticles by Electrospinning From Poly(acrylonitrile-Co Acid)-Pdcl2 Solutions. Relations Between Preparation Conditions, Particle Size, and Catalytic Activity(American Chemical Society, 2004) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Gülgün, Mehmet A.; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Z.; Erman, Burak; Abramchuk, Sergei S.; Makhaeva, Elena E.; Khokhlov, Alexei R.; Matveeva, Valentina G.; Sulman, Mikhail G.Catalytic palladium (Pd) nanoparticles on electrospun copolymers of acrylonitrile and acrylic acid (PAN-AA) mats were produced via reduction of PdCl2 with hydrazine. Fiber mats were electrospun from homogeneous solutions of PAN-AA and PdCl2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). Pd cations were reduced to Pd metals when fiber mats were treated in an aqueous hydrazine solution at room temperature. Pd atoms nucleate and form small crystallites whose sizes were estimated from the peak broadening of X-ray diffraction peaks. Two to four crystallites adhere together and form agglomerates. Agglomerate sizes and fiber diameters were determined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Spherical Pd nanoparticles were dispersed homogeneously on the electrospun nanofibers, The effects of copolymer composition and amount of PdCl2 on particle size were investigated. Pd particle size mainly depends on the amount of acrylic acid functional groups and PdCl2 concentration in the spinning solution. Increasing acrylic acid concentration on polymer chains leads to larger Pd nanoparticles. In addition, Pd particle size becomes larger with increasing PdCl2 concentration in the spinning solution. Hence, it is possible to tune the number density and the size of metal nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of the Pd nanoparticles in electrospun mats was determined by selective hydrogenation of dehydrolinalool (3,7-dimethyloct-6-ene-l-yne-3-ol, DHL) in toluene at 90°C. Electrospun fibers with Pd particles have 4.5 times higher catalytic activity than the current PoVAl2O3 catalyst.Article Citation - WoS: 46Citation - Scopus: 48Drying of Semicrystalline Polymers: Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Wong, Sim-Siong; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Mallapragada, Surya K.A mathematical model was developed to predict the drying mechanism of semicrystalline polymers involving multiple solvents. Since drying of semicrystalline polymers can be accompanied by changes in polymer degree of crystallinity, the model integrates crystallization kinetics and the Vrentas-Duda diffusion model to provide a better understanding of the mechanism. The model considers the effect of external conditions such as temperature, film shrinkage and diffusion and evaporation of multiple solvents during drying. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/water/methanol was chosen as a test system. The drying kinetics of PVA films swollen in water and methanol were investigated using gravimetric techniques. The model predicts that higher temperatures, lower film thicknesses and lower methanol to water ratios increase the drying rate. The model predictions were compared with experimental data and showed good agreement.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Conductance Fluctuations in Vhf-Pecvd Grown Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films(Springer Verlag, 2003) Güneş, Mehmet; Johanson, Robert E.; Kasap, Safa O.; Finger, Friedhelm; Lambertz, AndreasCoplanar conductance fluctuations or excess noise of undoped hydrogenated microcrystal-line silicon (μc-Si : H) thin films grown by VHF-PECVD from silane-hydrogen mixtures with silane concentrations from 2% to 6% have been studied between room temperature and 470 K. We report that undoped μc-Si : H thin films show similar noise-power spectra to those of undoped a-Si : H films in a coplanar sample geometry. At lower temperatures, the noise with the slope α = 0.60 ± 0.07 and at higher temperatures, the noise with the slope α close to unity dominate the spectrum. The noise magnitude decreases with decreasing silane concentration and becomes strongly temperature dependent with increased crystal unity.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Photoconductivity Spectroscopy in Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films(Springer Verlag, 2003) Güneş, Mehmet; Akdaş, Deniz; Göktaş, Oktay; Carius, Reinhard; Klomfaß, Josef; Finger, FriedhelmSteady-state photoconductivity and sub-bandgap absorption measurements by the dual-beam photoconductivity (DBF) method were carried out on undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon thin films prepared by VHF-PECVD and hot-wire chemical vapor deposition. The results are compared with those of the constant-photocurrent method (CPM) and photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS). It is found that DBP, CPM, and PDS provide complementary data on the optoelectronic processes in microcrystalline silicon.
