The authors describe the noise characterization of a mid-wavelength-infrared (MWIR) photodiode based on indium arsenide and gallium antimonide (InAs/GaSb) superlattice (SL), addressing the influence of different passivation layers applied to the surface of the device. The MWIR InAs/GaSb SL design structure is based on p-i-n configuration grown by the molecular beam epitaxy on a (001) n-GaSb substrate. The SiO2-passivated SL photodiodes demonstrated a Schottky-limited noise up to a bias voltage of -0.1 V where the measured peak responsivity is 1.37 A/W with a cut-off wavelength of 4.9 mu m and the specific detectivity as high as 1.23 x 10(12) cm. Hz(1/2)/W, demonstrating the high quality of the fabricated MWIR SL photodiodes. The noise measurements exhibited a frequency-dependent plateau (i.e., 1/f noise) for unpassivated and Si3N4-passivated samples, whereas 1/f-type noise suppression (i.e., frequency-independent plateau) with a noise current reduction at about 30 Hz of more than one order of magnitude was observed for the SiO2-passivated ones.

Low-frequency noise behavior at Reverse Bias Region in InAs/GaSb Superlattice Photodiodes on Mid-Wave Infrared Tansel, T.; Kutluer, K.; Muti, A.; Salihoglu, O.; Aydinli, A.; Turan, Raşit (2013-05-03) We describe a relationship between the noise characterization and activation energy of InAs/GaSb superlattice MidWavelength-Infrared photodiodes for different passivation materials applied to the device. The noise measurements exhibited a frequency dependent plateau (i.e. 1/f-noise characteristic) for unpassivated as well as Si3N4 passivated samples whereas 1/f-type low noise suppression (i.e. frequency independent plateau) with a noise current reduction of more than one order of magnitude was observed for ...
Effect of lattice structures on natural frequency of SLA fabricated parts Kayiran, Ali Murat; Yaman, Ulaş (2019-01-01) Modifying the interior structure of the artifacts improves not only the strength of the parts but also the dynamic responses of them which can be tuned according to the resonance frequencies of the mounting platforms. Additive Manufacturing (AM) approaches are the finest solutions for the fabrications of these parts with structured interiors. In this study, the main aim is to analyse the effect of improved lattice structures on the natural frequencies of the parts optimized for compliance. The effects of co...
Numerical prediction of aft radiation of turbofan tones through exhaust jets Özyörük, Yusuf (2009-08-07) This paper describes a numerical methodology for calculating tonal noise propagation and radiation through turbomachinery exhaust ducts, including non-uniform background jet flows. The numerical method is based on solution of the linearized Euler equations directly in the frequency domain, employing a direct, sparse matrix solver in parallel. Acoustic sources are introduced into the computational domain via the perfectly matched layer equations. Various test cases including propagation through infinite duct...
Effects of titania particles on the behaviours of polylactide based composites Can, Ulaş; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) In the first part of this thesis, the main aim was to compare influences of various contents of the micron (200 nm) and nano (50 nm) sized titania (TiO2) particles especially on the mechanical performance of the polylactide (PLA) biopolymer. Micro and nano composites were prepared by twin-screw extruder melt mixing, while the specimens were shaped by compression molding. SEM analyses and mechanical tests revealed that due to the most uniform distribution in the matrix, the best improvements in the strength,...
Effect of ternary alloying elements addition on atomic ordering characteristics of Fe-Al intermetallics Mehrabov, Amdulla; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat (Elsevier BV, 1999-05-28) The energetic and structural characteristics of atomic ordering processes in Fe-0.5(Al1-nXn)(0.5) intermetallics have been qualitatively analyzed based on the statistico-thermodynamical theory of ordering by means of a quasi-chemical method combined with electronic theory in the pseudopotential approximation. The effects of ternary impurities on order-disorder phase transformation temperature and the characteristics of atomic short-range order in Fe-Al type intermetallics have been calculated. Impurity elem...
