Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Electronic Structure of Cyanocobalamin: Dft+qmc Study(Springer Verlag, 2017) Mayda, Selma; Kandemir, Zafer; Bulut, NejatWe study the electronic structure and the magnetic correlations of cyanocobalamin (C63H88CoN14O14P) by using the framework of the multi-orbital single-impurity Haldane-Anderson model of a transition metal impurity in a semiconductor host. Here, we first determine the parameters of the Anderson Hamiltonian by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Then, we use the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) technique to obtain the electronic structure and the magnetic correlation functions for this effective model. We find that new electronic states, which correspond to impurity bound states, form above the lowest unoccupied level of the host semiconductor. These new states derive from the atomic orbitals at the cobalt site and the rest of the molecule. We observe that magnetic moments develop at the Co(3dν) orbitals and over the surrounding sites. We also observe that antiferromagnetic correlations exist between the Co (3dν) orbitals and the surrounding atoms. These antiferromagnetic correlations depend on the filling of the impurity bound states.Article Fabrication of Bi2212 Single Crystal Bolometer for Detection of Terahertz Waves(Springer Verlag, 2017) Semerci, Tuğçe; Demirhan, Yasemin; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Wang, Huabing; Özyüzer, LütfiTerahertz (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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Electronic Structure and Correlations of Vitamin B12 Studied Within the Haldane-Anderson Impurity Model(Springer Verlag, 2016) Kandemir, Zafer; Mayda, Selma; Bulut, NejatWe study the electronic structure and correlations of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamine) by using theframework of the multi-orbital single-impurity Haldane-Anderson model of atransition-metal impurity in a semiconductor host. The parameters of the effectiveHaldane-Anderson model are obtained within the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. Thequantum Monte Carlo (QMC) technique is then used to calculate the one-electron andmagnetic correlation functions of this effective model. We observe that new states forminside the semiconductor gap found by HF due to the intra-orbital Coulomb interaction atthe impurity 3d orbitals. In particular, the lowest unoccupiedstates correspond to an impurity bound state, which consists of states from mainly the CNaxial ligand and the corrin ring as well as the Co eg-like orbitals. We alsoobserve that the Co (3d) orbitals can develop antiferromagneticcorrelations with the surrounding atoms depending on the filling of the impurity boundstates. In addition, we make comparisons of the HF+QMC data with the density functionaltheory calculations. We also discuss the photoabsorption spectrum of cyanocobalamine.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Thin Film Like Terahertz Bolometric Detector on Bi2212 Single Crystal(Springer Verlag, 2016) Semerci, Tuğçe; Demirhan, Yasemin; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Wang, Huabing; Özyüzer, LütfiIn this study, we developed a microbolometer chip fabricated from high temperature superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals for the terahertz (THz) detection. For the manufacturing of the microbolometer chips, Bi2212 single crystals were transferred on substrate in the thin film like form and electron beam lithography, ion beam etching techniques were used. Resistance versus temperature behavior of the bolometer chips were performed by four probe technique in liquid nitrogen cryostat. Bi2212 microchips were integrated and characterized using in our custom-designed cryogenic bolometer system instead of expensive and massive cooling systems. The fabricated microchips significantly detected signals from the Stefan-Boltzmann lamp which includes a portion of THz radiation. The detected power and response time were studied for Bi2212 thin film like microbolometer chips. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of improved Bi2212 microchips could be used for bolometric detection for THz 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: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Comparison of Electron and Phonon Transport in Disordered Semiconductor Carbon Nanotubes(Springer Verlag, 2013) Sevinçli, Haldun; Lehmann, T.; Ryndyk, D. A.; Cuniberti, G.Charge and thermal conductivities are the most important parameters of carbon nanomaterials as candidates for future electronics. In this paper we address the effects of Anderson type disorder in long semiconductor carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to electron charge conductivity and lattice thermal conductivity using the atomistic Green function approach. The electron and phonon transmissions are analyzed as a function of the length of the disordered nanostructures. The thermal conductance as a function of temperature is calculated for different lengths. Analysis of the transmission probabilities as a function of length of the disordered device shows that both electrons and phonons with different energies display different transport regimes, i.e. quasi-ballistic, diffusive and localization regimes coexist. In the light of the results we discuss heating of the semiconductor device in electronic applications.

It is experimentally demonstrated that, upon humidity change, the optical and swelling characteristics of the PEG coatings can be employed to build a plastic fibre optic humidity sensor. The sensing mechanism is based on the humidity induced change in the refractive index of the PEG film, which is directly coated onto a polished segment of a plastic optical fibre with dip-coating method. It is observed that PEG, which is a highly hydrophilic material, shows no monotonic linear response to humidity but gives different characteristics for various ranges of humidity levels both in index of refraction and in thickness. It undergoes a physical phase change from a semi-crystalline structure to a gel one at around 80% relative humidity. At this phase change point, a drastic decrease occurs in the index of refraction as well as a drastic increase in the swelling of the PEG film. In addition, PEG coatings are hydrogenated in a vacuum chamber. It is observed that the hydrogen has a preventing effect on the humidity induced phase change in PEG coatings. Finally, the possibility of using PEG coatings in construction of a real plastic fibre optic humidity sensor is discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Investigation of the Spontaneous Emission Rate of Perylene Dye Molecules Encapsulated Into Three-Dimensional Nanofibers Via Flim Method(Springer Verlag, 2014) Açıkgöz, Sabriye; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Yapaşan, Ece; Kiraz, Alper; Ünal, Ahmet A.; İnci, Mehmet NaciThe decay dynamics of perylene dye molecules encapsulated in polymer nanofibers produced by electrospinning of polymethyl methacrylate are investigated using a confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy technique. Time-resolved experiments show that the fluorescence lifetime of perylene dye molecules is enhanced when the dye molecules are encapsulated in a three-dimensional photonic environment. It is hard to produce a sustainable host with exactly the same dimensions all the time during fabrication to accommodate dye molecules for enhancement of spontaneous emission rate. The electrospinning method allows us to have a control over fiber diameter. It is observed that the wavelength of monomer excitation of perylene dye molecules is too short to cause enhancement within nanofiber photonic environment of 330 nm diameters. However, when these nanofibers are doped with more concentrated perylene, in addition to monomer excitation, an excimer excitation is generated. This causes observation of the Purcell effect in the three-dimensional nanocylindrical photonic fiber geometry.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Open Cell Lead Foams: Processing, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties(Springer Verlag, 2012) Savacı, Umut; Yılmaz, Sinan; Güden, MustafaOpen cell lead foams with the porosities between 48 and 74 % were prepared by means of powder metallurgical and casting routes, using ammonium bicarbonate particles, silica beads, and sodium chloride salt particles as space holder. The resulting foam samples structure closely resembled open cell foam structure: each cell had few interconnections with neighboring cells. Small-sized lead (II) fluoride precipitates were microscopically observed in the interior of cells in the foam samples prepared using silica beads as space holder, resulting from the reaction between silica and hydrofluoric acid in the space holder dissolution step. The compression stress–strain curve of foam samples prepared by powder metallurgical route showed brittle deformation behavior following the initial elastic deformation region, while the foam samples prepared by casting route showed characteristic foam deformation behavior: cell edge crushing on the bent cell walls, and cell wall tearing. The collapse stresses, densification strains, and elastic moduli of the prepared foams were further fitted with scaling relations.
