Electrical properties of different low Schottky barrier junctions on high quality strained-Si1-xGex layers with 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.24 were studied. The investigated metals were Ir, Pt, Pd and Fe. In addition, PtSi/p-Si1-xGex junctions were also produced and characterized; the silicide was deposited by co-sputtering. High-resolution multi-crystal x-ray diffraction (HR-MCXRD) was used to investigate the sample quality and strain state of the MBE grown p-Si1-xGex layers and to accurately determine the Ge fraction in the fabricated junctions. The Schottky barrier height of the studied junctions were found to decrease with the Ge fraction (x) in the Si1-xGex layer. Different junctions showed the same dependence on the Ge fraction. The reduction of the barrier heights with increasing Ge fraction was found to be related to the valence band discontinuity in the underlying Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction. It was then concluded that the cut-off wavelength of infrared detector fabricated on Si1-xGex layer can be tuned in a wide range in the infrared region by changing x. A cut-off wavelength of 13.8 mu M was shown to be feasible in this work.

Electronic, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) compounds CANDAN, ABDULLAH; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; Gencer, Ayşenur (IOP Publishing, 2019-12-01) In this study, the physical such as structural, electronic, anisotropic elastic and lattice dynamic properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) compounds have been investigated. The electronic properties including band structure and corresponding partial density of states for YXB4 have been calculated. YFeB4 and YCoB4 compounds are found to have metallic behavior while YCrB4 and YMnB4 have semiconductor behavior. Also, the compounds are found to be as non-magnetic materials. The calculated elastic constants ...
Transport of neutral atoms in plasma with a source of neutral atoms and molecules Bilikmen, Sinan; Rhimi, Mohamed Nazih (IOP Publishing, 1989-1-1) A model for steady state neutral atom transport in a finite thickness, one dimensional plasma slab with a source of neutrals and molecules at the edge, is formulated. A computer code OMID is developed for computational analysis. The analysis shows that the cold neutral particle density is maximum near the wall, the total fuelling profile peaks in the vicinity of the wall for a molecular source more than for an atomic one, energetic neutrals formed in successive charge exchange collisions carry energy to the...
THE NONLINEAR COLD PLASMA-BUNCHED BEAM INTERACTION AND THE PLASMA WAKEFIELD ACCELERATOR CASE BILIKMEN, S; NAZIH, RM (IOP Publishing, 1993-02-01) In this paper, a nonlinear analytical solution for a cold plasma-bunched beam system based on the Hamiltonian formalism where alpha = n(b)/n0 and beta(phi) = upsilon(phi)/c have been taken as parameters matching between zero and unity is given. The oscillation limiting energies, frequencies and transformer ratios have been carried out in general for both the one-dimensional and the case where a small transverse component of motion is included. The plasma wakefield accelerator has been treated as a special c...
CHAOTIC ELECTRON TRAJECTORIES IN QUADRUPOLE WIGGLER FREE-ELECTRON LASER BILIKMEN, S; ABUSAFA, M (IOP Publishing, 1994-08-01) The motion of an individual electron in a FEL in a field configuration consisting of an ideal quadrupole-wiggler field and uniform axial-guide field, is shown to be nonintegrable in Hamiltonian formulations and can become chaotic for certain initial conditions. The presence of chaos, which is induced by the transverse spatial inhomogenieties in the wiggler field; and the self-fields produced by the space charge and current, poses limits on the wiggler field amplitude and the beam size for beam propagation i...
The possible effects of non-universal extra dimensions on t -> cl(i)(-)l(j)(+) and H-0 -> h(0)(A(0))l(i)(-)l(j)(+) decays in the general two Higgs doublet model Iltan, E. O. (IOP Publishing, 2006-06-01) We study the effects of non-universal extra dimensions on the decay widths of the lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes, t --> c l(i)(-) i l(j)(+) and H-0 --> h(0)(A(0)) l(i)(-)l(j)(+) in the general two Higgs doublet model. We consider that the extra dimensions are accessible to the standard model gauge fields and the new Higgs doublet. We observe that the LFV H-0 --> h(0)(tau(+) mu(-) + mu(+)) and H-0 --> A(0)(tau(+)mu(-) + tau(-) mu(+)) Higgs decays are sensitive to the extra dimensions, especially in...
