Purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive picture of thin film (interconnect) and solid droplet surface evolution under the several external applied forces with anisotropic physical properties so that one can eventually be able to predict main reasons and conditions under which stability of surface is defined. A systematic study based on the self-consistent dynamical simulations is presented for the spontaneous surface evolution of an thin film and isolated thin solid droplet on a rigid substrate, which is driven by the surface drift diffusion induced by the anisotropic diffusivity, the anisotropic capillary forces (surface stiffness) and mismatch stresses under electron winding. The effect of surface free energy anisotropies (weak and strong (anomalous)) on the development kinetics of the Stranski-Krastanow island type morphology are studied. Although, various tilt angles and anisotropy constants were considered during simulations, the main emphasis was given on the effect of rotational symmetries associated with the surface Helmholtz free energy topography in 2D space. The investigations of dynamics of surface roughness on concurrent actions of the appliedelasto- and electro- static fields clearly indicate that applied misfit stress level is highly important effect on resultant surface form which may be smooth wave like or crack like. The droplet simulations revealed the formation of an extremely thin wetting layer during the development of the bell-shaped Stranski-Krastanow island through the mass accumulation at the central region of the droplet via surface drift-diffusion. The developments in the peak height, in the extension of in the wetting layer beyond the domain boundaries, and the change in triple junction contact angle, one clearly observes that these quantities are reaching certain saturation limits or plateaus, when the growth mode turned-off. Islanding differences for weak anisotropy constant levels and the strong (anomalous) anisotropy constant domains are discussed.

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...
Evaluation of magnetocaloric behavior and refrigeration performance of Gd3Co10Al87 nanostructured thin film alloy with multiple Curie temperatures Bayer, Özgür; Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; PAT, SUAT (2023-04-01) 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 emiss...
Reconstruction of three dimensional models from real images Yilmaz, U; Mulayim, A; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2002-06-21) An image based model reconstruction system is described. Real images of a rigid object acquired under a simple but controlled environment are used to recover the three dimensional geometry and the surface appearance. Based on a multi-image calibration method, an algorithm to extract the rotation axis of a turn-table has been developed. Furthermore, this can be extended to estimate robustly the initial bounding volume of the object to be modeled The coarse volume obtained, is then carved using a stereo corre...
Laminar filmwise condensation of flowing vapor on a sphere Erol, Doğuş; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) The objective of this study is to analyze theoretically the laminar film condensation of water vapor flowing on a sphere. For this purpose, the problem was handled by including all of the two-phase boundary layer parameters such as gravity, effect of vapor shear, inertia, energy convection and pressure gradient. For this full two-phase boundary layer system, the boundary layer equations, boundary conditions and the interfacial conditions were first analyzed, and then discretized. A computer program in Mathc...
Shape Optimization of Reentry Vehicles to Minimize Heat Loading Eyi, Sinan; Boyd, I D (2019-01-06) The objective of the current study is to design an optimum reentry vehicle shape that minimizes heat loading subject to constraints on the maximum values of surface heat flux and temperature. A new heat loading formulation is developed for objective function evaluations. Axisymmetric Navier-Stokes and finite-rate chemical reaction equations are solved to evaluate the objective and constraint functions. The Menter SST turbulence model is employed for turbulence closure. A gradient-based method is used for op...
