A light transmitting "Optomechanical Composite" was fabricated by incorporating SiC (SCS-6) fibers into optically transparent MgAl2O4 ceramics. The fibers were aligned unidirectionally in the matrix with a spacing of 1 to 4 mm to allow light transmittance between the fibers: resulting fiber volume content was from 0.75 to 0.19 vol%. The total and in-line light transmittance of the matrix and the composite was measured in the visible/near-IR wavelength region. The light transmittance of the composite was found to be decreasing with increasing fiber volume fraction, however, even the composite with the highest fiber volume fraction has a light transmittance of 25-50% in the visible wavelength region. Although the optical transparency of the matrix becomes slightly lower by the incorporation of the opaque fibers, its catastrophic failure is prevented by the bridging effect of the intact fibers, introducing the fail-safe nature to the brittle ceramic material. To obtain this fail-safe mechanism, the minimum fiber volume fraction was similar to0.37 vol% in the present material system. (C) 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Optical and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix optically transparent composites Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2001-12-01) The idea of increasing the fracture resistance of optically transparent Ceramics by incorporation of continuous fibers with a small expense in their light transmission was applied to a SiC (SCS-6) fiber-reinforced magnesium aluminate spinel matrix composite. It was found that although there is a slight decrease in the light transmittance of the transparent monolithic matrix with increasing fiber volume fraction, a fail-safe mechanism appeared in the composite by the bridging effect of the intact fibers
Stepped-etching for preserving critical dimensions in through-wafer deep reactive ion etching of thick silicon Alper, Said Emre; Aydemir, A.; Akın, Tayfun (2009-06-25) This paper presents the experimental investigation of stepped deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process in order to minimize critical-dimension (CD) variations due to local heating observed in through-wafer etch of 100 mum-thick, high aspect ratio silicon microstructures that are suspended over glass substrate. Classical methods of cooling the substrate, using a heat-sink layer, or increasing the thickness of sidewall passivation in general turns out to be insufficient for preventing excessive damage in crit...
Magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan micro- and nanoparticles for wastewater treatment ŞAHBAZ, DENİZ AKIN; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2019-08-18) In this study, first, magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) were synthesized using a coprecipitation method and the synthesized particles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). According to DLS and VSM analyses results, it was seen that the size of the MNP was smaller than 10 nm and they exhibited superparamagnetic properties, respectively. Then, magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan micro/n...
Frequency effect on electrical and dielectric characteristics of In/Cu2ZnSnTe4/Si/Ag diode structure Gullu, H. H.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Yildiz, D. E.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01) In/Cu2ZnSnTe4/Si/Ag diode structure was fabricated by sputtering Cu2ZnSnTe4 (CZTTe) thin film layer on the Si layer with In front contact. The frequency dependent room temperature capacitance and conductance measurements were carried out to obtain detailed information of its electrical characteristics. Admittance spectra of the diode exhibited strong frequency dependence and the obtained values showed decreasing behavior with the increase in the applied frequency. The effect of interfacial film layer with s...
Symmetrical and decoupled nickel microgyroscope on insulating substrate Alper, Se; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2004-09-21) This paper presents a symmetrical and decoupled surface micromachined gyroscope fabricated by electroforming thick nickel on a glass substrate. The symmetric structure allows matched resonant frequencies for the drive and sense vibration modes for improved sensitivity, while the decoupled drive and sense oscillation modes prevents unstable operation due to mechanical coupling, resulting in a low zero-rate output drift. The use of a glass substrate instead of a silicon substrate reduces noise due to the para...
