In recent years, CdZnTe has attracted much attention due to its superior electrical and structural properties for room-temperature operable gamma and x-ray detectors. However, CdZnTe (CZT) material has often suffered from crystallographic defects encountered during the growth and post-growth processes. The identification and structural characterization of these defects is crucial to synthesize defect-free CdZnTe single crystals. In this study, Cd-0.95 Zn-0.05 Te single crystals were grown using a three-zone vertical Bridgman system. The single crystallinity of the material was ensured by using x-ray diffraction measurements. High-resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to characterize the nano-scale defects on the CdZnTe matrix. The linear defects oriented along the aY<spacing diaeresis>211aY (c) direction were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding HRTEM image simulations were performed by using a quantitative scanning TEM simulation package.

CdZnTe Bulk Crystal Growth and Temperature Modeling Studies at METU-CGL Balbaşı, Özden Başar; DOĞRU, ÇİĞDEM; Kabukcuoglu, Merve; Ünal, Mustafa; Parlak, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (2018-08-21) Cadmium Zinc Telluride (Cd1-xZnxTe) has become a crucial material for X-ray and gamma ray detection due to its wide band-gap, high atomic number and high density, which offer high efficiency and sharp spectroscopic resolution at room temperature. In addition, due to being lattice matched, it can also be used as substrate for the epitaxial growth of HgCdTe that can be used for infrared detection with high resolution. Hence, increasing the single crystal yield of CdZnTe from the grown ingot gained importance ...
Mott transition in a two-leg Bose-Hubbard ladder under an artificial magnetic field Keleş, Ahmet (2015-01-01) We consider the Bose-Hubbard model on a two-leg ladder under an artificial magnetic field and investigate the superfluid-to-Mott insulator transition in this setting. Recently, this system has been experimentally realized [M. Atala et al., Nature Phys. 10, 588 (2014)], albeit in a parameter regime that is far from the Mott transition boundary. Depending on the strength of the magnetic field, the single-particle spectrum has either a single ground state or two degenerate ground states. The transition between...
Structural Vibration Analysis of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Atom Vacancies Dogan, Ibrahim Onur; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2014-11-01) Recent investigations in nanotechnology show that carbon nanotubes have significant mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Interactions between those are also promising in both research and industrial fields. Those unique characteristics are mainly due to the atomistic structure of carbon nanotubes. In this paper, the structural effects of vacant atoms on single walled carbon nanotubes are investigated using matrix stiffness method. In order to use this technique, a linkage between structural mechan...
Optical and electrical transport properties of some quaternary thallium dichalcogenides Güler, İpek; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Department of Physics (2011) In this thesis, in order to study the structural, optical and electrical transport properties of Tl2In2S3Se, TlInSeS and Tl2In2SSe3 crystals, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis (EDSA), transmission, reflection, photoluminescence (PL), thermally stimulated current (TSC) and photoconductivity decay (PC) measurements were carried out. Lattice parameters and atomic composition of these crystals were determined from XRD and EDSA experiments, respectively. By the help of transmissio...
Graphene Based Flexible Hall Sensors İnkaya, Uğur Yiğit; Oral, Ahmet; Department of Physics (2021-9-09) Graphene is a two-dimensional material that has electronic properties such as having low density of charge carriers with high mobility, which are ideal for fabricating Hall sensors. Also considering its elastic properties, it is a promising material for flexible electronics including flexible Hall sensorics. Graphene was synthesized via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on 20μm-thick copper by using methane as carbon feedstock. CVD-graphene was transferred onto EVA-coated PET film via lam...
