Oriented vanadosilicate AM-6 thin films with an average thickness of 1-2 mu m were prepared on the ITO coated glass substrates using secondary growth method with a partial a(b)-out-of-plane preferred crystal orientation for the first time. In secondary growth method, titanosilicate ETS-10 crystals were deposited on the substrate from a colloidal suspension to form seed layers. Then, the hydrothermal growth of the seed crystals was conducted to form AM-6 films. It was observed that the AM-6 films formed possess similar 1-D VO3 (2-) quantum wires as also observed in powder AM-6 crystals. Afterward, the effect of reaction temperature and amount of water in the secondary growth gel on crystal morphology and a(b)-out-of-plane crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) were investigated to gain a better understanding of the secondary growth mechanism of vanadosilicate AM-6 films. The results suggested that the increased amount of water leads to increased CPO in the AM-6 films, whereas an increase in reaction temperature from 503 to 528 K leads to more c-oriented AM-6 films with a decreased CPO value. Furthermore, an increase in the reaction temperature led to a decrease in the reaction time, resulting in the formation of quartz impurity. Accordingly, well intergrown a(b)-out-of-plane oriented vanadosilicate films were grown for the first time using ETS-10 seed crystals and it is believed that this work provides an effective pathway for controlling the synthesis of AM-6 films expanding the possible range of applications of these materials possessing 1-D quantum wires.

Galioglu, Sezin; Ismail, Mariam N.; Warzywoda, Juliusz; Sacco, Albert; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2010-06-01)
Oriented polycrystalline ETS-10 thin films (average thickness similar to 1.50-1.75 mu m) were prepared on the ITO glass substrates using secondary growth of ETS-10 multilayers with a partial a(b)-out-of-plane preferred crystal orientation. After secondary growth, the films showed a columnar grain microstructure, and a significantly increased degree of a(b)-out-of-plane orientation. This orientation is desirable for advanced applications of ETS-10 films. The prepared films were strongly attached to the ITO g...
Sol-Gel processing of organically modified ITO thin films and characterization of their optoelectronic and microstructural properties
Kesim, Mehmet Tümerkan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were formed on glass substrates by sol-gel method. Coating sols were prepared using indium chloride tetrahydrate (InCl3•4H2O) and tin-chloride pentahydrate (SnCl4•5H2O) stabilized in organic solvents (acetylacetone and ethanol). First attempt was to synthesize ITO thin films using standard/unmodified coating sols. The effect of calcination treatment in air (300 – 600 °C) and number of coating layer(s) (1, 4, 7 or 10) on optoelectronic properties (electrical conductivity and...
Microtensile Bond Strength of Self-Adhesive Resin-Based Dental Cement to Bleached Enamel
Tamam, Evsen; Keskin, Selda; Ucatasli, Mine Betuel (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
This study investigated the effectiveness of bleaching agents on the micro tensile bond strength (mu TBS) of self-adhesive luting cement and enamel. A total of 126 samples were prepared from the labial surfaces of permanent human maxillary central incisors and assigned into three groups with 42 samples each as: control, enamel bleached with 10% hydrogen peroxide (HP), and enamel bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP). Rely X Unicem (R) (3 M, ESPE) was used as self-adhesive resin cement. The total testing...
Admittance analysis of an MIS structure made with PECVD deposited a-SiNx : H thin films
Atilgan, I; Ozder, S; Ozdemir, O; Katircioglu, B (Elsevier BV, 1999-07-01)
a-SiNx:H thin films, prepared by the PECVD technique, were optically and electrically characterized. The frequency dependent trap admittance derived for the MIS structure in the accumulation gate voltage regime was revised. Based on these results an omitted multiplying factor was included into the derivation. An extension of the tunnelling model in the depletion bias regime was used in comparison with the widely accepted statistical model and finally, the more general feature of the tunnelling-based approac...

Turel, Onur; Hacioglu, Serife O.; Coskun, Sahin; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (The Electrochemical Society, 2017-01-01)
Effect of thin film deposition route on the morphology and performance of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) based electrochromic devices was investigated. For the deposition of thin films, a sequential deposition method, which includes ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) and thermal evaporation methods was used. Films deposited solely using either USP or thermal evaporation method were used as control samples. Following deposition, MoO3 thin films were then characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spec...
