The objective of this study is to perform Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating on the ceramic samples from different parts of the Laodikeia by using Infra Red Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL) on polyminerals. As a first step, a literature survey has been done about the dating system and the methodology of dating. The calibration of the system was done before carrying out the experiments. The six ceramic samples were collected from the site and dated. The mineral compositions of the samples were examined by X-ray Diffraction Analysis, which showed that all samples contain quartz, feldspars, calcites and together with other minerals. The equivalent dose was found by using Multiple Aliquot Additive Dose (MAAD) and Multiple Aliquot Regenerative Dose (MARD) techniques using Infra Red diode array of the system that gave the IRSL ages for samples. Alpha counter measured the dose components of uranium and thorium contributions to the annual dose. The potassium concentration was determined by Atomic Emission Spectrometry. The cosmic ray component of annual dose was evaluated by the Al2O3:C Thermoluminescence Dosimeter (TLD) discs which have been placed and kept for 8 and 11 months in the site. From the data the IRSL ages were calculated for six ceramic samples LDKY-1, LDKY-2, LDKY-3, LDKY-4, LDKY-5 and LDKY-6 with the help of the OSL system software. The IRSL ages for these samples, in the given order, are 737 ± 60, 1563 ± 120, 1445 ± 110, 1602 ± 120, 1034 ± 80 and 1034 ± 80 years by using MAAD technique. The IRSL ages for the same samples are 870 ± 60, 1550 ± 120, 1440 ± 110, 1600 ± 120, 1030 ± 80 and 1030 ± 70 years by using MARD technique.

Optical and electrical characterization of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals Işık, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Department of Physics (2013) In the present thesis, optical and electrical properties of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals have been studied. The optical properties of the crystals have been investigated by means of visible and infrared reflectivity and transmittance, ellipsometry, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) measurements. The analysis of the absorption data at room temperature revealed the existence of indirect transitions in the crystal. Moreover, the rate of change of the band gap ener...
Characterization of defect states in Ga-rich gallium arsenide crystals by thermally stimulated current YILDIRIM, TACETTİN; Hasanlı, Nızamı; TÜZEMEN, Sebahattin (2018-06-01) The trap levels in Ga-rich GaAs crystals were studied in the temperature range of 10-300 K using thermally stimulated currents (TSC) technique. During the experiments we utilized a constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s. Experimental evidence is found for two electron trapping centers in the crystal with activation energies of 44 and 50 meV. The analysis of the experimental TSC curve suggests slow retrapping. The capture cross sections of the traps were determined as 8.8 x 10(-25) and 1.0 x 10(-25) cm(2) with con...
Study of vibrational modes in CuxAg1-xIn5S8 mixed crystals by infrared reflection measurements Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-04-01) Infrared reflection spectra of CuxAg1-xIn5S8 mixed crystals, grown by Bridgman method, were studied in the wide frequency range of 50-2000 cm(-1). All four infrared-active modes were detected, which are in full agreement with the prediction of group-theoretical analysis. Real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, refractive index and the energy losses function were evaluated from reflectivity measurements. The frequencies of TO and LO modes and oscillator strengths were also determined. The bands ...
Characterization of Cu-rich and Zn-poor Cu2ZnSnS4 single crystal grown by vertical Bridgman technique Peksu, Elif; Terlemezoglu, Makbule; PARLAK, MEHMET; Karaağaç, Hakan (2021-11-15) To date, although a number of studies have focused on understanding the fundamental properties of Cu-poor/Zn-rich Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) single crystals, little attention has been paid to investigate the physical properties of those with a Cu-rich / Zn-poor chemical composition. Therefore, in this study, the structural and electrical properties of Cu-rich/Zn-poor CZTS single crystal grown by the Bridgman technique have been studied in order to fill this gap in literature. XRD and Raman findings confirm the growth...
Synthesis and characterization of solvent-free hybrid alkyd resin with hyperbranched melamine core Gündüz, Güngör; Keskin, Nagehan; Çolak, Üner; MAVİŞ, BORA (2018-07-01) In this study, a new hybrid alkyd resin was formulated using melamine-based hyperbranched polymer having 24 hydroxyl groups on its structure and relatively low molecular weight alkyd. The alkyd was synthesized using an oil mixture (40% linseed + 60% sunflower). Melamine was used as the core molecule for the hyperbranched polymer due to its excellent properties such as greater hardness, alkali and solvent resistance, and thermal stability. Melamine was first hydroxylated using formaldehyde and changed into h...
