We report on electrical Raman measurements in transparent and conducting single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films. Application of external voltage results in downshifts of the D and G modes and in reduction of their intensity. The intensities of the radial breathing modes increase with external electric field related to the application of the external voltage in metallic SWNTs, while decreasing in semiconducting SWNTs. A model explaining the phenomenon in terms of both direct and indirect (Joule heating) effects of the field is proposed. Our work rules out the elimination of large amounts of metallic SWNTs in thin film transistors using high field pulses. Our results support the existence of Kohn anomalies in the Raman-active optical branches of metallic graphitic materials.

Electrical conductivity and Hall mobility in p-type TlGaSe2 crystals Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-02) Systematic dark electrical conductivity and Hall mobility measurements have been carried out in the temperature range of 200-350 K on p-type TlGaSe2 crystals. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity and carrier concentration reveals the extrinsic type of conduction with an acceptor impurity level located at 0.33 eV, and donor and acceptor concentrations of 9.0 x 10(15) and 1.3 x 10(16) cm(-3), respectively. A hole and electron effective masses of 0.520m(0) and 0.325m(0), respective...
Temperature dependence of band gaps in sputtered SnSe thin films Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gullu, H.H.; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Bayrakli Surucu, O.; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) Temperature-dependent transmission experiments were performed for tin selenide (SnSe) thin films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering method in between 10 and 300 K and in the wavelength region of 400-1000 nm. Transmission spectra exhibited sharp decrease near the absorption edge around 900 nm. The transmittance spectra were analyzed using Tauc relation and first derivative spectroscopy techniques to get band gap energy of the SnSe thin films. Both of the applied methods resulted in existence of two band ga...
Li+ and Li interactions with carbon nanocage structures Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to explore the structural properties of Li and Li+ confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and fullerene molecules. C-Li, C-Li+, Li-Li and Li+-Li+ interactions have been represented by pair functions and parameterized for the corresponding interactions. C-C interactions have been modeled by Tersoff potential. Open-ended SWCNTs with various sizes and chirality, as well as fullerenes with various sizes have been considered in the simulations...
Multiscale Self-Assembly of Silicon Quantum Dots into an Anisotropic Three-Dimensional Random Network İlday, Serim Kayacan; İlday, Fatih Ömer; Huebner, Rene; Prosa, Ty J.; Martin, Isabelle; Nogay, Gizem; Kabacelik, Ismail; Mics, Zoltan; Bonn, Mischa; Turchinovich, Dmitry; Toffoli, Hande; Toffoli, Daniele; Friedrich, David; Schmidt, Bernd; Heinig, Karl-Heinz; Turan, Raşit (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-01) Multiscale self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature but its deliberate use to synthesize multifunctional three-dimensional materials remains rare, partly due to the notoriously difficult problem of controlling topology from atomic to macroscopic scales to obtain intended material properties. Here, we propose a simple, modular, noncolloidal methodology that is based on exploiting universality in stochastic growth dynamics and driving the growth process under far-from-equilibrium conditions toward a preplanned s...
Reflectance spectra and refractive index of a Nd : YAG laser-oxidized Si surface Aygun, G; Atanassova, E; Turan, Raşit; Babeva, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-15) The reflectance spectra and refractive index of Nd:YAG laser-oxidized SiO2 layers with thicknesses from 15 to 75 nm have been investigated with respect to the laser beam energy density and substrate temperature. Thickness and refractive index of films have been determined from reflectance measurements at normal light incidence in the spectral range 300-800 nm. It was found that the oxide-growth conditions at higher substrate temperatures and laser powers greater than 3.36 J cm(-2) provides a better film qua...
