Master Thesis Temperature Dependence of Resistivity and Hall Coefficient in Cu2znsns4 Absorbers for Thin Film Solar Cells(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Akça, Fatime Gülşah; Aygün Özyüzer, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfienergy is the most powerful clean energy source to act on the current energy needing all over the world. The utilization of green energy systems should be promoted since these energy systems benefit consumers, industry and the environment effectively for the developing countries. This advancement can be solely achieved if renewable energy sources become more accessible. It means that not only cheaper but also handy clean energy systems are needed. In spite of relatively high efficiency obtained by using c-Si, Si solar modules require high budget for manufacturing. The high production cost of c-Si, PV industry is lead to search for cheaper candidate materials like Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) as absorber layer in solar cells. The aim of the thesis is to investigate electrical properties of CZTS p-type intrinsic semiconductor compound on soda lime glass substrates, including the temperature dependent electrical conductivity, carrier concentrations and mobility extracted from Hall Effect measurements. Firstly, the metal precursor films were fabricated in multi-target sputtering system, then they were sulfurized inside the tubular furnace in order to obtain the CZTS compound. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed the formation of kesterite structure. A good crystallinity and grain compactness of the films were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrical properties were measured by van der Pauw techniques. Hall effect measurements showed the p-type semiconductor behavior for all samples at room temperature. Also, optical properties including absorption coefficient, spectral transmission, and optical band gap were determined to characterize CZTS thin films.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Properties 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, RaşitTiO2 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.Master Thesis Method That Positions Cell-Laden or Cell-Free Matrices at Defined Positions From Each Other Inside a Single Microfluidic Channel(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Tarım, Emre; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Özyüzer, LütfiIn recent years, the use of microfluidic has increased in the field of many biological studies. Microfluidic technology has a large area which is a joint product of biology and industry covering all branches of science. The small size of the microfluidic chip offers many advantages in the use of microfluidic. During the analysis, the microfluidic chip offers many advantages such as, use of less material, less waste generation, temporal control, opportunity of analysis under the microscope and high throughput analysis. In addition to these, while microfluidic chip is providing a safe environment for users, via mimicking the physiological environment, it also provides a suitable environment in order to make cell, tissue and organs based assays. Microfluidic devices especially use in cancer studies, chemical analysis, tissue engineering, drug screening, immunology and stem cell differentiation. In this study, we aimed to develop methods depending on the distance to position the MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells in the microfluidic channels. Firstly, the microfluidic channels were obtained by using the soft lithography and experiments with breast cancer cells were performed using these channels. Breast cancer cells containing matrix was loaded into microfluidic chips and precipitated onto blank matrix by using centrifuge. The aim of repeating this process was to position the breast cancer cells at different distanced locations.
