Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) is an X-ray imaging technique providing specific information about the molecular structure of a tissue by means of coherently scattered photons. A Controlled Drift Detector (CDD) is a novel 2D silicon imager developed to be used in X-ray imaging techniques. In this work a final (complete and detailed) analysis of DEI data taken with the CDD in the ELETTRA synchrotron light source facility in Trieste (Italy) in 2005, is presented and the applicability of both this new technique and the novel detector are discussed.

Photoluminescence properties of Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix Seyhan, Ayşe; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2010) This thesis examines the luminescence properties of nanoscale silicon (Si) by using spectroscopic techniques. Since the development of new optical devices requires understanding light emission mechanism optical spectroscopy has become more important tool in the analysis of these structures. In this thesis, Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix will be studied. Photoluminescence (PL) and Time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPL) have been used to detect the light emission in UV-Vis-NIR range. Exp...
Design and production of antireflection coating for Ge, ZnSe and ZnS in 8-12 micrometer wavelength region Üçer, Begüm; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2009) This thesis describes the works done during the design and deposition process of the antireflection coating for the materials commonly used as refractive optical elements in thermal imaging systems. These coatings are quite necessary to reduce reflection losses from the surface of the optics and stray light that directly affects the image quality. Germanium, zinc sulfide and zinc selenide were used as substrate material and their optical properties were investigated with infrared ellipsometry and FTIR. Anti...
Structural, electrical and optical characterization of ge-implanted gase single crystal grown by Bridgman Method Karaağaç, Hazbullah; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Department of Physics (2005) In this work, structural, electrical and optical characterization of as-grown, Ge-implanted, and annealed GaSe single crystals grown by using 3-zone vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger system, have been studied by carrying out X-ray Diffraction (XRD), electrical conductivity, Hall effect, photoconductivity, and spectral transmission measurements. The temperature dependent electrical conductivity of these samples have been measured between 100 and 400 K. As a result, it was observed that upon implanting GaSe with ...
Use of gold nanoparticle containing poly (allylamine hydrochloride)/ poly (acrylic acid) multilayer films as sers substrates Kölemen, Birsu; Ertaş, Gülay; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Chemistry (2015) Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a surface sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique that results in the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces. It is a powerful, sensitive and non-destructive technique which is used in chemical, material and life sciences including biosensing, catalysis, spectroelectrochemistry, criminology, single molecule SERS applications and many others. Nanoparticle (NP) embedded multilayer films using Layer by Layer (LbL) techniq...
Applications in broadband THz spectroscopy towards material studies Türkşen, Zeynep; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2011) The purpose of this work was to construct and analyze a THz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system by using a nanojoule energy per pulse ultrafast laser (non-amplified ultrafast laser or oscillator) source and a non-linear optical generation method for THz generation. First a THz-TDS system, which uses photoconductive antenna (PCA) method for THz generation, was built to understand the working principles of these types of systems. This THz-TDS system which used PCA for generation and a 2mm thick <110> Zn...
