The Gd3Co10Al87 thin film was investigated since it contains a higher atomic rate of aluminum, an inexpensive, recyclable, and abundant material. A thermionic vacuum arc system deposited Gd3Co10Al87 nanostructured thin film, and its surface and magnetic properties were analyzed. Mean grain dimension was measured as 30 nm and 50 nm, with the grain homogeneously distributed according to field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses. The film thickness was measured as 220 nm in cross-section field emission scanning electron microscopy. According to the X-ray diffraction analyses, Gd2O3 and CoO crystal phases were detected. In temperature dependence of the magnetization measurements at 50Oe and 100Oe, double-Curie temperature behaviors were detected approximately at 90 K and 226 K. Refrigeration performance via thermodynamically analyzing an Ericsson refrigeration cycle was studied by taking the Curie temperatures as the cold reservoir temperatures and the hot reservoir temperatures varying 10 K, 15 K, and 20 K higher than Curie temperatures. At the Curie ranges of 90 K and 226 K, COPs of 4.86 and 7.2 were obtained, respectively, at hot reservoir temperatures of 10 K higher than Curie temperature. The Carnot efficiencies for low and high-temperature cycles were 17–52% and 17% and 32%, respectively, declining as the temperature span increases. The suggested cycles show the material’s potential to be utilized in a wide range of applications. Double-Curie approximation is a novel approach capable of opening a new gate for the broad range of magnetocaloric materials due to metal oxide phases.

Experimental investigation of the effect of CNT addition on the strength of CFRP curved composite beams Arca, M.A.; Uyar, I.; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been attracting attention as a toughening material in composite matrix due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, superior properties of CNTs have not yet been realized in the strengthening of composites against fracture. This study focuses on investigating the effect of CNT variation in the epoxy resin on the strength of curved composite beams. Specimens are [0/90] fabric carbon/epoxy composite laminates manufactured by hand layup technique 3 % wt CNT fractions in th...
Determination of the influence of TiO2 on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic by ultrasonic velocity measurements Gür, Cemil Hakan; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-15) The influence of small amount (1 or 2 wt%) of TiO2 additions and crystallization heat treatment on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic have been investigated by ultrasonic velocity measurements. The mica based glass ceramic was prepared through controlled crystallization of a glass in the SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O and F system. Evidences of TiO2 acting as a nucleating agent in this system was demonstrated. The longitudinal and transversal wave velocities of the as-prepared glass and the mi...
Determination of current transport characteristics in Au-Cu/CuO/n-Si Schottky diodes Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Terlemezoglu, M.; Yildiz, D. E.; Parlak, M. (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01) In this study, the material properties of CuO thin films fabricated by sputtering technique and electrical properties of CuO/n-Si structure were reported. Temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) measurement was carried out to determine the detail electrical characteristics of this structure. The anomaly in thermionic emission (TE) model related to barrier height inhomogeneity at the interface was obtained from the forward bias I-V analysis. The current transport mechanism at the junction was determined ...
Investigation of band gap energy versus temperature for SnS 2 thin films grown by RF-magnetron sputtering Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) SnS2 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering technique were characterized by structurally and optically in the present work. Crystalline parameters, atomic compositions, and surface characteristics of SnS2 thin films were presented according to results of applied structural techniques. Optical studies of SnS2 thin films were accomplished by Raman spectroscopy and transmission methods. Raman spectrum exhibited two modes around 198 and 320 cm−1. Transmittance data obtained for various temperatures between 10...
Investigation of extended defects in cadmium zinc telluride crystals grown by vertical gradient freeze (VGF) technique Doğru, Çiğdem; Turan, Raşit; Çakır, Muammer Altan; Department of Physics (2015) Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) crystal is a promising material due to its high atomic number, room temperature operability and low leakage current. It is used in many important applications such as room temperature gamma ray and X-ray detectors, medical imaging spectrometers. In addition, CdZnTe crystal has been accepted as an excellent substrate for the growth of Hg1-yCdyTe epitaxial layer, which is used for the fabrication of advanced infrared focal plane arrays (IR FPA) due to the good lattice match with H...
