Absorption in the sub-terahertz region in TiAlV thin films with their potential usage in detectors and plasmonic applications is a crucial point for device performance. This work aims to investigate the thickness-dependent evolution of the sub-terahertz region absorption, electrical resistivity in TiAlV thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering and to study the structure-property correlation. For structural analyses, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy techniques have been used. In different deposition conditions, TiAlV thin films indicating the β-Ti phase with anisotropic growth and the hexagonal AlTi3 phase with equiaxial growth have been produced. High resistivity values have been measured in films with the AlTi3 phase. In all TiAlV thin films with different structures, thickness dependent resistivity change in the range 3–23 nm, whereby a strong increase in electrical resistivity with decreasing film thickness have been observed below a thickness of 6 nm. The sub-terahertz absorption increases with increasing film thickness. The highest terahertz region absorption has been found for the films with the β-Ti phase and anisotropic growth also indicating higher electrical conductivity, which favors absorption sensitive applications in the terahertz region.

Instability studies in amorphous silicon based alloys Özdemir, Orhan; Katırcıoğlu, Bayram; Department of Physics (2004) The pixel element which is an integrated combination of a p-i-n diode with a thin film transistor (TFT) is used to produce image sensor arrays in scanning and displays technologies, necessitating the deposition of hydrogenated silicon based semiconducting and insulating thin films such as a-Si:H, a-SiNx:H over large area. The widely used techniques to achieve this goal is the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) due to its large area and low temperature (? 300 ?C) abilities. In particular, PECV...
Development of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticle incorporated transparent conductive oxide thin films Yavaş, Hakan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films have been used as transparent electrodes in many technological applications such as display panels, solar cells, touch screens and electrochromic devices. Commercial grade ITO thin films are usually deposited by sputtering. Solution-based coating methods, such as sol-gel however, can be simple and economic alternative method for obtaining oxide films and also ITO. In this thesis, “ITO sols” and “ITO nanoparticle-incorporated hybrid ITO coating sols” were prepared using indi...
The effect of microporous vanadosilicate AM-6 thin films as photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue Kuzyaka, Duygu; Galioglu, Sezin; ALTIN, İLKNUR; Sokmen, Munevver; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2018-11-01) In the current study, a new photocatalyst in thin film form exhibiting photocatalytic activity under visible light range was introduced. For that purpose, microporous vanadosilicate (AM-6, (Na,K)(2)VSi5O13) and silver nanoparticle (Ag-0) incorporated vanadosilicate AM-6 thin films were investigated as photocatalysts for the photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue (MB). To create different oxidation states of vanadium cation present in the center dot center dot center dot V-o-V-o-V center dot center d...
The effect of antenna in the forward model of near field microwave imaging systems Dalkilic, Akin; Alatan, Lale (2019-07-01) A fast and accurate forward problem solver for near-field microwave imaging systems is developed by considering the electric field intensity as the measured quantity. Since the antenna port voltage values will be the real measured quantity in practical applications, the effects of transmitting/receiving antennas in the forward problem model is investigated.
GROWTH, CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVICE APPLICATIONS OF CADMIUM ZINC TELLURIDE THIN FILMS Doğru Balbaşı, Çiğdem; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2022-5-25) CdZnTe is an II-VI group semiconductor material with significant properties used in many critical industrial applications, such as photovoltaic devices, photodiodes, photoconductors, room temperature gamma-ray spectroscopy, X-ray imaging, and infrared detectors. In Particular, CdZnTe is a promising material for solar cell application as an absorber layer due to its direct tunable bandgap property, high atomic number with strong absorption, excellent optoelectronic properties, and long-term stability.
