Mg thin films with various thicknesses ranging from 50 to 1000 nm capped with Pd have been prepared by thermal evaporation and their hydrogen sorption properties were examined following the electrical resistance change. The study showed that the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation temperatures correlate with the film thickness, thinner films reacting with hydrogen at reduced temperatures. It is concluded that films thinner than 200 nm react fully with hydrogen, while a considerable portion of the thicker films remain unreacted. The significance of this is discussed with reference to the design of hydrogen storage systems based on thin films or nanoparticles.

Structural characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (2016-05-01) In this work, Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) thin film samples were prepared by thermal evaporation of Cu, Ag, InSe and Se evaporants sequentially on glass substrates. Following the deposition, annealing processes were applied at different temperatures. The as-grown and annealed CAIS samples were nearly stoichiometric in the detection limit of the compositional measurement. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that they were in polycrystalline structure with a preferred orientation along the (112) dire...
Thickness effects in hydrogen sorption of magnesium/palladium thin films Gharavi, Ayshe Gharemeshg; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Magnesium (Mg) thin films with various thicknesses ranging from 50 to 1000 nm capped with nominally 20 nm Palladium (Pd) were prepared by a thermal evaporation unit. A total of 25 glass substrates were used in each experiment. The unit had a rotatable macro shutter, rectangular in shape, rotation axes opposite to the Mg source, which allowed controlled exposure of the substrates. Thin films of 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800 nm and 1000 nm were produced in a single experiment. Hydrogenation and d...
Hydrogen absorption in magnesium based crystalline thin films Akyildiz, Hasan; Ozenbas, Macit; Öztürk, Tayfur (2006-08-01) A study is carried out for hydrogenation of Mg based thin films produced via thermal evaporation. Films produced were pure Mg, Mg capped with Au-Pd, Mg-Cu co-deposited and Mg-Cu multilayered. The films under the experimental conditions employed were crystalline with columnar grains with some degree of preferred orientation. In multi-component systems, the films in the as-deposited state were made of individual elements, but upon hydrogenation at temperatures greater than 473K, the elements react with each o...
Deposition of CZTSe thin films and illumination effects on the device properties of Ag/n-Si/p-CZTSe/In heterostructure Bayrakli, O.; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; GULLU, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (2017-06-30) Characterization of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films deposited by thermal evaporation sequentially from the pure elemental sources and in-situ post annealing was carried out at 400 C under Se evaporation atmosphere. Another annealing process was applied in nitrogen atmosphere at 450 degrees C to get poly-crystalline monophase CZTSe film structure. XRD analysis together with Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the structural properties. Spectral optical absorption coefficient evaluated from transmission da...
Fabrication of CdSexTe1-x thin films by sequential growth using double sources Demir, Medine; Terlemezoglu, M.; Parlak, Mehmet (2021-10-15) CdSexTe(1-x) (CST) ternary thin films were fabricated by stacking thermally evaporated CdSe and electron beam evaporated CdTe layers. The final structure was achieved in a stoichiometric form of approximately Cd:Se:Te = 50:25:25. The post-annealing processes at 300, 400, and 450 °C were applied to trigger the compound formation of CST thin films. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles revealed that CdTe and CdSe have major peaks at 23.9° and 25.5° corresponds to (111) direction in cubic zinc-blend structure. ...
