The study of space-charge-limited currents (SCLC) in amorphous InSe thin films is presented. The temperature-dependent current-voltage (J-V) measurements were carried out for TO/a-lnSe/Au sandwich structures in the range of 200-320 K. For all samples, ohmic behavior was observed up to an electric field strength of about 2 x 10(5) V cm(-1). From the temperature dependence of conductivity data, the position of the thermal equilibrium Fermi level E-fo is determined as 250 meV above the valence band E-v. At higher electric field strength values in the SCLC regions, the proportionality constant of voltage changes is between 2 and 2.9 with temperature. The analysis of J-V characteristics using the SCLC method and analytical approach for the determination of density of states (DOS) in the energy range of 190-250 meV shows that DOS changes between 3.8 x 10(17) - 1.7 x 10(18) eV(-1) cm(-3) with energy. The energy distribution of DOS is temperature independent indicating that the SCLC in these amorphous films is related to the bulk, not to the surface layer between the contact and the film.

Wave propagation in fractured porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids Corapcioglu, MY; Tuncay, Kağan (1998-01-01) A study of wave propagation in fractured porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids is presented, based on the double-porosity concept. The macroscopic constitutive relations and mass and momentum balance equations are obtained by volume averaging the microscale balance and constitutive equations, and assuming small deformations. Momentum transfer terms are expressed in terms of intrinsic and relative permeabilities assuming the validity of Darcy's law in fractured porous media. In the simplest case, t...
Photocatalytic antimicrobial and self-cleaning properties of titana-silica mixed oxide thin films Korkmaz Erdural, Beril; Bölükbaşı, Ufuk; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) In this study photocatalytic antibacterial and self-cleaning activities of TiO2-SiO2 thin films as a function of TiO2/SiO2 ratios were investigated. TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxides were synthesized by sol-gel method and coated over soda-lime glass plates by dip coating technique. Escherichia coli was used as a model microorganism for the photocatalytic antibacterial tests. Degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) molecules was used to characterize photocatalytic self-cleaning activities of thin film surfaces. The max...
Study of the a-Si:H/c-Si Heterointerface by Ex-Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Solar Cell Modeling Pehlivan, O.; KARATAŞ, SERÇİN; Yilmaz, O.; Kodolbas, A. O.; Duygulu, O.; DUYGULU, Nilüfer; İSKENDER, İRES; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-06-01) The interface formation between plasma-enhanced chemical vapor-deposited (PECVD) silicon thin films and H-terminated, p-type c-Si was investigated. The formation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), epitaxial Si, and mixed phase Si was detected through spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The evolution of the hydrogen content and hydrogen bonding configurations in the films were monitored by attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (FT...
Electrodeposition of zno thin films : effect of vanadium doping Avşar, Cemre; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2013) The aim of this study was preparation and characterization of photocatalytically active ZnO thin films on ITO glass sheets by electrodeposition method. In order to investigate the effect of synthesis temperature on the morphology and photocatalytic activity of the thin films, synthesis was performed at room temperature and at 70 °C. Characterizaton of the thin films was carried out by AFM, SEM - EDX, XRD and XPS analysis. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested by methylene blue and stearic acid d...
Spectroscopic ellipsometry study of Si nanocrystals embedded in a SiOx matrix: Modeling and optical characterization Ilday, Serim; Nogay, Gizem; Turan, Raşit (2014-11-01) In this work, we report on a spectroscopic ellipsometry study of thin films of silicon nanocrystals embedded in a SiOx matrix that is performed to better understand how substoichiometric SiOx species affect the optical properties of these systems. The silicon nanocrystals are fabricated in a SiOx matrix by thermal annealing of magnetron-sputtered thin films in a wide range of x values (0< x< 2) in order to produce every possible substoichiometric SiOx species in various fractions. A generic optical model to...
