We report in situ measurements of irradiation-induced creep on amorphous (a-) Cu56Ti38Ag6, Zr52Ni48, Si, and SiO2. Micropillars 1 mu m in diameter and 2 mu m in height were irradiated with similar to 2MeV heavy ions during uniaxial compression at room temperature. The creep measurements were performed using a custom mechanical testing apparatus utilizing a nanopositioner, a silicon beam transducer, and an interferometric laser displacement sensor. We observed Newtonian flow in all tested materials. For a-Cu56Ti38Ag6, a-Zr52Ni48, a-Si, and Kr+ irradiated a-SiO2 irradiation-induced fluidities were found to be nearly the same, approximate to 3 GPa(-1) dpa(-1), whereas for Ne+ irradiated a-SiO2 the fluidity was much higher, 83 GPa(-1) dpa(-1). A fluidity of 3 GPa(-1) dpa(-1) can be explained by point-defect mediated plastic flow induced by nuclear collisions. The fluidity of a-SiO2 can also be explained by this model when nuclear stopping dominates the energy loss, but when the electronic stopping exceeds 1 keV/nm, stress relaxation in thermal spikes also contributes to the fluidity.

Measurements of irradiation-induced creep in amorphous materials using in situ micropillar compression Özerinç, Sezer; Averback, Robert; King, William (null; 2015-04-06) This presentation describes in situ measurements of irradiation-induced compression creep on amorphous (a-) Cu56Ti38Ag6, Zr52Ni48, Si, and SiO2 micropillars bombarded with ~2 MeV Ne+, Ar+, and Kr+ ions at room temperature. We have employed a custom mechanical testing apparatus1 which is composed of a nanopositioner, a doubly-clamped silicon beam transducer, and an interferometric laser displacement sensor. The apparatus has a displacement resolution of 1 nm and force resolution of 1 mu;N. Amorphous Cu56Ti38...
Direct Reconstruction of Pharmacokinetic-Rate Images of Optical Fluorophores From NIR Measurements Alacam, Burak; Yazici, Birsen (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01) In this paper, we present a new method to form pharmacokinetic-rate images of optical fluorophores directly from near infra-red (NIR) boundary measurements. We first derive a mapping from spatially resolved pharmacokinetic rates to NIR boundary measurements by combining compartmental modeling with a diffusion based NIR photon propagation model. We express this mapping as a state-space equation. Next, we introduce a spatio-temporal prior model for the pharmacokinetic-rate images and combine it with the state...
Evaluation of the radiative recombination mechanism in Si nanocrystals embedded in silica matrix Righini, Marcofabio; Gnoli, Andrea; Razzari, Luca; Serincan, Ugur; Turan, Raşit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) We report measurements of the temperature dependence of photoluminescence (PQ life-time and efficiency of Si nanocrystals (Si-Nc) embedded in silica matrix. We use a practical technique based on lock-in acquisition that allows us to simultaneously evaluate, at each emission-energy, intensity and decay-time of the detected signal. Samples are prepared by Silicon-ion implantation in a SiO2 layer followed by thermal annealing. The implantation dose of Si ions ranges between 2 x 10(16) cm(-2) and 2 x 10(17) cm(...
Determination of deep trapping center parameters in as-grown Tl2Ga2S3Se layered crystals YILDIRIM, TACETTİN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-01) Thermally stimulated current measurements were carried out on as-grown Tl2Ga2S3Se layered single crystals. The investigations were performed in temperatures ranging from 10 to 320 K with heating rates of 0.6-1.2 K s(-1). The analysis of the data revealed the hole trap level located at 498 meV. The activation energies of the traps have been determined using various methods of analysis, and they agree with each other. The calculation for these traps yielded 2.1 x 10(-18) cm(2) for capture cross-section and 2....
Direct growth of type II InAs/GaSb superlattice MWIR photodetector on GaAs substrate SERİNCAN, UĞUR; Arikan, Bulent; Senel, Onur (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) We report on the direct growth and characterization of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) MWIR photodetector structure grown on a GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The designed photodetector structure contains 140 period of 8.0 ML InAs/8.3 ML GaSb p-i-n SL structure with a 50% cutoff wavelength of 3.78 pm. We achieved a peak specific detectivity (D*) and differential resistance area product at zero bias (R(0)A) of 1.3 x 10(12)cm Hz(1/2) W-1 and 10(4) Omega cm(2) at 80 K, respectively. The obtaine...
