Nanocrystalline films of magnetite have been prepared by a novel sol-gel route in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. Annealing temperature was selected between 291 and 350 A degrees C by DTA analysis in order to obtain magnetite films. In-plane grazing angle XRD and TEM studies showed that magnetite phase was present upon annealing the films at 300 A degrees C. The films had crack free surfaces and their thicknesses varied between similar to 10 and 200 nm. UV-Vis spectrum results showed that transmittance of the films increases with decreasing annealing temperature and increasing spinning rate. Up to 96% transmittance was observed between the wavelengths of 900-1,100 nm. Vibrating sample magnetometer measurements indicated that magnetite thin films showed ferromagnetic behavior and the saturation magnetization value was found as similar to 35 emu/cm(3).

Characterization of magnetite thin films produced by sol-gel processing Eken, Ali Erdem; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) Magnetite (Fe3O4) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel process in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Xerogel films were obtained by drying the coated films at 110 °C. The films were sintered between 300 °C and 450 °C in order to observe the phases existing in the films at different temperatures. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. DTA analysis showed that, sintering temperature...
Characterization of iron oxide thin films prepared by sol-gel processing Karakuscu, Aylin; Ozenbas, Macit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) Iron oxide thin films were prepared by spin-coating a gel solution of iron(III) nitrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and acetylacetone on glass and quartz substrates. The film thickness was adjusted by changing the spinning rate of the spin coater, Annealing was carried out between 300 degrees C to 600 degrees C to investigate the phases present in the films. Viscosity of the main solution was found as 0.0035 Pa (.) s by viscosity measurement. TGA/DTA analyses showed that heat treatment should be done betw...
Structural and optoelectronic properties of sol-gel derived nickel oxide thin films Saraç, Büşra Ekim; Durucan, Caner; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Nanocrystalline nickel (II) oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by spin coating of sol-gel derived solutions. Thin film formation behavior and microstructural / physical properties of the films were investigated as a function of controllable processing parameters, such as thin film thickness and post deposition heat treatment (annealing temperature) in the range of 400 – 500 °C. Microstructural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of NiO films was examined by scanning electron m...
PRODUCTION OF SUPERCONDUCTING THICK-FILMS THROUGH CATION CHELATED ORGANIC PRECURSORS Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (1992-01-01) A process involving dissolution of cations from oxides and carbonates in a polyhydroxyl alcohol solution has been made real, which enables us to produce high-Tc superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O thick films of desired thickness. It was demonstrated that 5–30 μm thick films of Y-Ba-Cu-O system can be successfully synthesized from the oxides and carbonates by painting onto different substrates, namely siliconwafer, single crystal quartz and α-alumina. Also it was shown that the substrate material played ultimate role...
Synthesis of biomimetic Ca-hydroxyapatite powders at 37 degrees C in synthetic body fluids Tas, AC (2000-07-01) An important inorganic phase for synthetic bone applications, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), was prepared as a nano-sized (similar to 50 nm), homogeneous and high-purity ceramic powder from calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate salts dissolved in modified synthetic body fluid (SBF) solutions at 37 degrees C and pH of 7.4 using a novel chemical precipitation technique. The synthesized precursors were found to easily reach a phase purity >99% after 6 h of calcinati...
