Article Influence of High Content of Sodium Doping in Bi(pb)2212 Superconductors(Pleiades Publishing, 2023) Faiza, Bouaïcha; Mosbah, Mohamed-Fayçal; Özyüzer, LütfiAbstract: We study here, the effect of high content of sodium doping on structural and electrical properties of Bi(Pb)2212 superconductors. The X-ray analysis results showed that all the prepared samples mainly belong to the superconducting tetragonal phase Bi–(Pb)2212. SEM micrographs show that the grains are closely related and have a characteristic flat shape for the superconductor Bi (Pb) 2212. For the undoped sample, the grains are randomly distributed with an average size of 5 μm. For doped samples, the morphology changes with sodium concentration. Resistivity measurements show that all samples have a superconducting character. © 2023, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Terahertz Wavefront Engineering Using a Hard-Coded Metasurface(Springer, 2023) Noori, Aileen; Akyürek, Bora; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Güven, Kaan; Altan, Hakan; Aygün, GülnurDuring the past few years, coding metamaterials (MM) drew significant attention, where the far-field scattering/transmission pattern of the electromagnetic wave (particularly in the THz regime) can be encoded into a single or few-bit digitized phase-response of the metasurface, thereby enabling a full digital control. Single-bit MMs contain two types of unit cells where the phase becomes 0 and 1 (in units of ?), respectively. By arranging these unit cells into a 2D surface pattern, the THz wavefront can be shaped. In this work, a novel hard-coded metasurface was designed, fabricated, and experimentally investigated for multi-beam reflection of incident THz beam. The design employs stripe and checkerboard patterns of bilayer MM unit cells consisting of square gold patches with a polymer spacing layer from a gold backplane. Experimental and simulation results show that the incident wave in the 0.500–0.750 THz range can be reflected with > 95% efficiency in uniform amplitude and 1-bit coded phase. For the checkerboard metasurface pattern, the measured and analytically calculated reflection angle shows good agreement. The metasurface design is suitable for large-scale fabrication and can potentially be used as a template in the development of actively coded metasurfaces. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 39High Transparent, Low Surface Resistance Zto/Ag Multilayer Thin Film Electrodes on Glass and Polymer Substrates(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Erdoğan, Nursev; Astarlıoğlu, Aziz Taner; Yiğen, Serap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Özdemir, MehtapZinc tin oxide (ZTO)/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films were grown by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature on soda lime glass (SLG) and different polymer substrates such as polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for transparent conductive electrode (TCE) applications. The effect of substrate on the structural, optical and electrical characteristics of ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayers was investigated. All prepared ZTO/Ag/ZTO films presented amorphous structure as expected from room temperature deposition process and smooth surface quality with very low surface roughness. We found that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer films grown on SLG, PET and PC substrates have very high optical transmission and low surface resistance. Moreover, after ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin film deposition on polymer substrates, the optical transmission was found to be enhanced because the higher absorption due to Ag layer is compensated by lower reflectance. Our results suggest that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films on any substrate can be a promising alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) films as a cost-effective, indium-free, flexible and transparent electrode for various applications.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Nanolitography Based on Electrospun and Etched Nanofibers(Elsevier, 2021) Noori, Aileen; Döğer, Hilal; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özdemir, Mehtap; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Aygün, Gülnur; Sağlam, ÖzgeIn this study, we propose a new type of nanolithography procedure to fabricate orderly patterned metallic nanostructures using the electrohydrodynamic method and the reactive ion etching process. The electrohydrodynamic process parameters were tuned so as to create patterning with precision, and fibers in nanoscale on silver-coated substrates. We also studied reactive ion etching with different durations on the well-patterned samples. The experiments show that applying a voltage of 400 V resulted in straight patterned fibers with a diameter of 208.7 ? 30.3 nm. The statistical analysis on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed a significant difference in the diameter of the fibers fabricated at 400 V compared to those at 500 V and 600 V. We also confirm that the etching process has no affect on the fiber diameter. Moreover, electron dispersive X-Ray spectrometer (EDX) results suggest that an etching duration of 7 min is sufficient to remove the silver coating that is not covered with the fibers, and protect the silver nanostructures underneath the fibers. Utilizing a lowcost nanolithography procedure, we obtain the orderly patterned silver nanostructures for possible integration into miniaturized devices.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2In-Situ Thin Film Copper-Copper Thermocompression Bonding for Quantum Cascade Lasers(Springer, 2021) Rouhi, Sina; Özdemir, Mehtap; Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Yiğen, Serap; Demirhan, Yasemin; Szerling, Anna; Kosiel, Kamil; Kozubal, Maciej; Kruszka, Renata; Prokaryn, Piotr; Ertuğrul, Mehmet; Reno, John L.; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiThe choice of metals, bonding conditions and interface purity are critical parameters for the performance of metal-metal bonding quality for quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Here, we present a novel approach for the thermocompression bonding of Cu-Cu thin films on GaAs-based waveguides without having any oxide phase, contamination or impurities at the interface. We designed a hybrid system in which magnetron sputtering of Ta, thermal evaporation of Cu and Cu-Cu thermocompression bonding processes can be performed sequentially under high vacuum conditions. GaAs/Ta/Cu and Cu/Ta/GaAs structures were thermocompressionally bonded in our in-situ homebuilt bonding system by optimizing the deposition parameters and bonding conditions. The grown thin film and the obtained interfaces were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The optimum Ta and Cu films' thicknesses were found to be about 20 nm and 500 nm, respectively. EDX analysis showed that the Ta thin film interlayer diffused into the Cu structure, providing better adhesivity and rigidity for the bonding. Additionally, no oxidation phases were detected at the interface. The best bonding quality was obtained when heated up to 430 degrees C with an applied pressure of 40 MPa during bonding process.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Study of Boron Doped Amorphous Silicon Lightly Hydrogenated Prepared by Dc Magnetron Sputtering for Infrared Detectors Applications(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Ketroussi, K.; Cherfi, R.; Yahia, Seba, H.; Tata, S.; Chabane, L.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Rahal, A.The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of boron doping concentration on the bolometric properties of lightly hydrogenated amorphous silicon doped with boron (a-Si: H(B)) films. Thin film a-Si: H(B) samples with different boron concentrations are prepared by co-sputtering of boron and silicon at relatively low hydrogen pressure. FTIR analyses show that the intensity of the characteristic peak of the substitutional boron gradually increases with the addition of boron. Increasing in boron concentration affects the bolometric properties of the lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films, including conductivity at room temperature (?RT) and thermal resistance coefficient (TCR). Indeed, when the boron concentration increases from 1.5 to 43%, ?RT increases from 1.4 10?6 to 2 10?3 ??1 cm?1 while the absolute value of TCR decreases from 3% to 8% K?1, respectively. In addition, lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H (B) films exhibit good thermal stability. We have showed in this study that lightly hydrogenated a-Si: H(B) can be considered as a potential candidate for low-cost, high-performance uncooled micro bolometers. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Conference Object Probing the Density of States of High Temperature Superconductors With Point Contact Tunneling Spectroscopy(Springer Verlag, 2005) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.Tunneling spectroscopy measurements are performed on single crystals of single CuO2 layer Tl2Ba2CuO6+delta, double CuO2 layer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi2212) and polycrystal quadruple CuO2 layer CuBa2Ca3Cu4O12+delta using the point contact tunneling technique. I-V and dI/dV-V characteristics are obtained at 4.2 K. In spite of different number of layers and T-c values, all three high-T-c superconductors exhibit similar spectral features including dip and hump features reminiscent of strong-coupling effects in conventional superconductors. The doping dependence of Bi2212 is studied and several effects of the hole concentration on spectral features are found. A novel effect is that the energy gap increases in the underdoped region even as T-c decreases. Combining the doping dependence of the energy gap and the dip energy provides additional information in order to understand the mechanism of high-T-c superconductivity. Point contact tunneling studies of the doping dependence of the energy gap in Bi2212 also helped to understand local variations of the gap magnitude observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, indicating that this type of spectroscopy is an integral part of the tunneling technique.Conference Object Characterization of Vo2 Films Grown by Magnetron Sputtering(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Yüce, Hürriyet; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Köklü, Mehtap[No abstract available]
