The aluminum induced texturing method offers an effective light trapping scheme by random texture that is formed by U-shaped craters on the glass surface. The texture is mainly shaped by the reaction between Al and SiO2. However, the reaction mechanismis not totally understood. Besides, the influence of other components present in the glass such as Na2O, CaO, andMgO. is neglected. In this study, the evolution of Al films on soda-lime glass during annealing has been inspected by depth resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The elemental distribution of Si, Al and O have been investigated for different annealing durations and compositional analysis has been conducted for Na, Ca andMg in addition to Si, Al and O. According to results, a relevant evolutionmodel for annealing process has been constructed.

A numerical study on magneto-hydrodynamic mixed convection flow Bozkaya, Canan (2014-01-01) This paper, describes a study conducted to numerically investigate the two-dimensional, steady, laminar, magneto-hydrodynamic mixed convection flow and heat transfer characteristics in a lid-driven enclosure beneath an externally applied magnetic field. A solid square block is placed inside the cavity. The governing equations in the form of a stream function-vorticity-temperature formulation are solved numerically using the dual reciprocity boundary element method with constant elements. Treatment of nonlin...
Investigating the formation mechanisms of cu0.83si0.17 intermetallic phase formed at Cu-Si and Cu-(5at%)Nb/Si interfaces Güler, Hüsniye; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2011-07-12) A study of intermetallic compound formation at the interface between copper thin film and silicon substrate is presented in this work. Two systems; Cu/Si and Cu-(5at%) Nb/Si, were studied. From the intermetallics formed at the interfaces of two systems; as a model, formation mechanisms of Cu0.83Si0.17 with and without niobium impurity were examined. Variations in values of parabolic rate constants and activation energies with Nb impurity content were determined. The samples were annealed at different temper...
A Numerical Simulation of non-uniform Magnetic Field Effect on Ferrofluid Flow in a Half-Annulus Enclosure with Sinusoidal Hot Wall Oglakkaya, F. S.; Bozkaya, Canan (2016-09-25) In this study, the problem of two-dimensional, laminar ferrofluid flow in a semi-annulus enclosure with sinusoidal hot wall is investigated numerically by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method. The flow is under the influence of a nodal magnetic source placed below the mid of the sinusoidal inner wall. The equations governing the present problem are obtained under the principles of ferrohydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. The numerical computations are performed for various values of Raylei...
A comparative study of the electronic properties of aluminum nitride compounds Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2016-01-01) Electronic properties of aluminum nitride in wurtzite, zinc-blende, and rock-salt phases are investigated by a full potential-linearized augmented plane waves method based on density functional theory within standard local density approximation and its four improved versions. Local density approximation corrected by the generalized gradient functional of Perdew-Wang-Engel-Vosko is found to be more successful than the other generalized gradient functional approximations considered in this work for providing ...
A periodic DFT study of water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO2 (001) slab Erdogan, Rezan; Ozbek, Olus; Önal, Işık (2010-06-15) Water and ammonia adsorption mechanisms on anatase TiO2 (001) slab surface are investigated by means of periodic DFT approach. Molecular and dissociative adsorption energies for water are calculated to be -15 kcal/mol and -32 kcal/mol, respectively. Similarly, molecular and dissociative adsorption energies of ammonia on the same surface are found as 25 kcal/mol and 20 kcal/mol. A reverse result in this order is reached for the previous case of ONIOM cluster study (23 kcal/mol and 37 kcal/mol, respectively)....
