    In this study, the distribution of plasma-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polyacrylonitrile nanocomposite fibers produced by wet spinning method using different surfactants (Triton-X and sodium dodecyl sulfate) was investigated. Firstly, we produced CNTs by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Secondly, low-pressure plasma functionalization of CNTs was realized. Finally, nanocomposite polyacrylonitrile fibers doped by CNTs were obtained using wet spinning technique. Properties of produced carbon nanotubes, functionalized carbon nanotubes and nanocomposite polyacrylonitrile fibers were examined by the analyses of chemical composition, surface structure, structural and mechanical properties.

    Thz Sources and Detectors Fabricated From High Temperature Superconductors
    (Springer, 2021) Demirhan, Yasemin; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Altan, Hakan; Sabah, Cumali; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    High temperature superconductors have unique properties that can be useful in the THz region, single crystal constituted from superconducting CuO2-layers could sustain high voltages across the junctions and they are coupled through the intrinsic Josephson Effect this maintains the potential for very intense, coherent radiation which spreads over the THz gap. We investigated various experimental techniques to fabricate THz sources, bolometers and filters for efficient THz emission and detection. Rectangular mesa structures were fabricated on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8-x (Bi2212) single crystal superconductors using standard e-beam lithography and Ar ion beam etching systems and an emitted power as high as 60 ?W at frequencies up to 0.85 THz was detected from micron sized continuous wave terahertz sources. We also fabricated bolometric microchips for THz detection purpose from Bi2212 single crystals. Bi2212 microchips detected the signals and response time were calculated, our results have clearly shown that Bi2212 single crystals are potential candidates for THz detection. The detection properties and sensitivity of bolometer chips can be further improved by integrating an antenna and filter structures. In order to investigate this we have fabricated metamaterial THz filters based on metals and YBa2Cu3Ox superconducting thin films with metal-mesh shape and a unique fourcross shape pattern. Both a THz time domain spectrometer and a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) were used to investigate the performance of these filters and the results were compared with simulations done with a commercially available electromagnetic simulation software. © Springer Nature B.V. 2021.

    Comparison of Photocatalytic Properties of Tio2 Thin Films and Fibers
    (EDP Sciences, 2016) Özdemir, Mehtap; Kurt, Metin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Aygün, Gülnur
    Efficiency of solar panels degrades as a result of organic contamination such as airborne particles, bird droppings and leaves. Any foreign object on photovoltaic panels reduces the sunlight entering the absorbing surface of the solar panels. Since this leads to a major problem decreasing in energy production, solar panels should be cleaned. The self-cleaning method can be preferred. There are some methods to clean the surface of solar panels. Among the self-cleaning materials, TiO2 is the most preferable ones because of its powerful photocatalytic properties. In this study, photocatalytic TiO2 were produced in two different nanostructures: nanofibers and thin films. TiO2 nanofibers were successfully produced by electrospinning. TiO2 thin films were fabricated by reactive magnetron sputtering technique. Both TiO2 nanofiber and thin film structures were heat-treated to form TiO2 in anatase phase at 600 °C for 2 h in air. Then, they were evaluated by SEM analyses for morphology, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses for phase structures, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the chemical state and atomic concentration, and UV-spectrometer for photocatalytic performance. The results indicate that photocatalytic and transmittance properties of TiO2 thin films are better than those of nanofibers. Consequently, TiO2 based thin films exhibit better performance for solar cell applications due to the surface cleanliness.

    Fabrication of Bi2212 Single Crystal Bolometer for Detection of Terahertz Waves
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Semerci, Tuğçe; Demirhan, Yasemin; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Wang, Huabing; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    Terahertz (THz) radiation is in powerful region of electromagnetic spectrum because of prosperous application areas yet deficiency still exists about sources and detectors in despite of improvements of the research field in this range. This gap can be filled by focusing on development of THz detectors. Therefore, bolometers were preferred through many detectors due to detection sensitivity above 1 THz. In this study, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals were used to fabricate THz bolometric detector. Bi2212 single crystals were transferred on sapphire substrate by cleavage process and e-beam lithography and ion beam etching were used to fabricate the microchip clean room facilities. Customdesigned cryogenic cryostat was used for a-b axis electrical and THz response measurements with liquid nitrogen cooled system. After electrical measurements, Bi2212 microchips detected the signals using Stefan-Boltzmann Lamp and response time were calculated. This study have shown with our experimental results that Bi2212 single crystals are potential candidates for THz bolometric detectors.

    Mgb2 Superconducting Thin Films Grown by Magnetron Sputtering
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2007) Ulucan, Savaş; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Okur, Salih
    In this study, we report the growth and properties of MgB2 thin films on polycrystalline Al2O3 substrates. A composite MgB2 target was produced by MgB2 and Mg powder mixing, using a hot pressing technique. MgB2 thin films were grown on Al 2O3 substrates by d.c. magnetron sputtering, without heating the substrate. To enhance the superconducting properties of the as-grown films and to increase the crystal quality, an ex-situ anneal process was applied. The crystal structure of the thin films was determined by X-ray diffraction. The resistivity versus temperature of the deposited MgB2 thin films was studied to examine the transition temperatures of the films under various magnetic fields. The effects of the annealing temperature and annealing time on the electrical properties of MgB2 thin films are revealed.

    Fabrication of Superconducting Mgb2 From Boron Oxide (b 2o3), and Its Microstructural and Electrical Characterization
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Yavaş, Mert; Okur, Salih; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Kalkancı, Mihriban; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    The discovery of superconducting MgB2 (39 K) draws attention to it as a new material for applications based on superconductivity. Many researchers successfully synthesized MgB2 using commercial boron and magnesium. In this study, elementary boron was obtained via an acid leaching process, after reacting B2O3, and Mg in an argon atmosphere at 800°C. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) results revealed that the powder obtained from the reaction was boron in 92% purity with magnesium as the major impurity. Superconducting MgB2 was produced from this boron and magnesium, in an argon atmosphere at 900°C, by a conventional solid-state reaction. Superconducting MgB2 powders were compressed in a dye to pellets by a hot pressing technique at 500°C and 1 GPa. The microstructural properties of the MgB2 were determined by X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy, EDX, and Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques. The electrical properties of the fabricated MgB 2 were examined by resistivity measurements in a closed-cycle cryopump system, between 20 and 300 K. The critical temperature (Tc) of the MgB2 pellets was around 32 K.

    Properties of Reactive O2 Ion Beam Sputtered Tio2 on Si Wafers
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Ulucan, Savaş; Özyüzer, Gülnur Aygün; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit
    TiO2 thin films were deposited on silicon (100) p-type wafers, using the reactive ion beam sputtering method in high vacuum as an alternative to conventional Argon ion beam sputtering in an O2 environment. Oxygen ions with 1000 eV energy were formed in a thruster and bombarded a high purity Ti target. The molecules of TiO2 were deposited on a Si (100) wafer at various substrate temperatures. The structural and optical properties were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in the range of 400-4000 cm-1. An ellipsometer was used to measure the thickness and refractive index of the deposited films. In order to determine the dielectric constant and capacitance of the deposited TiO2, the electrical properties were studied using an MOS capacitor. The effects of substrate temperature and deposition time on the dielectric properties of TiO2 are discussed.

    Microstructural and Electrical Characterization of Ti and Mg Doped Cu-Clad Mgb2 Superconducting Wires
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Okur, Salih; Kalkancı, Mihriban; Yavaş, Mert; Eğilmez, Mehmet; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    The recent studies on Ti doping effect on the critical current density (Jc) of MgB2 composite superconductors prepared under ambient pressure has shown an important enhancement at 20 K. In the present work, we have fabricated Ti and Mg doped superconducting MgB2 wires by packing reacted MgB2 and Ti or Mg powders together inside Cu tubes with a diameter of 6 mm. The tubes were then cold worked by rolling or drawing to smaller diameters. The prepared Cu-clad Ti and Mg added MgB 2 superconducting wires were annealed at various temperatures to enhance the grain connectivity of the MgB2 bulk materials. The effect of the sintering time has been investigated for high performance characteristics of superconducting Cu-clad Ti and Mg added MgB2 wires. The microstructural evaluation of the superconducting wires has been carried out using XRD and SEM equipped with EDX analysis system. The interfacial properties between Cu sheath and superconducting core was characterized using SEM-EDX. Furthermore, the influence of the presence of Ti and Mg on Tc has been investigated to understand the structural and electronic properties of superconducting Ti and Mg doped MgB2 wires.

    Fabrication of Array of Mesas on Superconducting Bi2sr 2cacu2o8+? Single Crystals
    (National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2005) Kurter, Cihan; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    The superconducting properties of multi-layered high temperature superconductors (HTS) result mainly from the CuO2 planes, while the other structural components behave simply as charge reservoirs. Using these perfect-layered structures of HTS, arrays of mesas have been fabricated on the surfaces of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals using hotolithography and argon ion beam etching techniques. These arrays have current-voltage (I-V) characteristics that consist of some branches corresponding to different intrinsic Josephson junctions in the mesas, The surface topography and heights of the mesas were examined with atomic force microscopy. Due to the small mesa area, conventional wire bonding techniques are not applicable. A novel method, point contact tunneling apparatus with a sharp Au tip, was used to obtain the I-V characteristics of the fabricated intrinsic Josephson junctions, below the critical temperature of Bi2212. Since the ultimate goal was to obtain an ordered group of mesas with small lateral dimensions, to eliminate heating effects during I-V measurements, we showed that submicron-sized mesas could be characterized by the new technique.

    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Eğilmez, Mehmet; Günel, Aylin; Okur, Salih; Tanoğlu, Metin; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    MgB2/Mg composites were prepared to improve mechanical properties of brittle superconducting MgB2. MgB2 and Mg powders were mixed at different weight ratios and uniaxially pressed in a cylindrical dye at 0.5 GPa and at various temperatures for two hours to prepare MgB2/Mg composites. X-ray diffraction, SEM and EDX were used for phase identification and microstructural characterization. In addition to the main MgB2 and Mg phases, the microstructural studies have indicated the presence of a minor amounts of second phases, namely MgO and B-rich compounds. The surface morphology, grain size and porosity ratio of the samples prepared under various temperatures were also investigated. The resistivity measurements were performed in the range of room temperature to 15 K. The effect of excess Mg and secondary phases on critical temperature of MgB2/Mg composites were studied.
