In this paper, we report the influence of the structural properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si) on its subsequent crystallization behavior via the aluminum induced crystallization (AIC) method. Two distinct a-Si deposition techniques, electron beam evaporation and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), are compared for their effect on the overall AIC kinetics as well as the properties of the final poly-crystalline (poly-Si) silicon film. Raman and FTIR spectroscopy results indicate that the PECVD grown a-Si films has higher intermediate-range order, which is enhanced for increased hydrogen dilution during deposition. With increasing intermediate-range order of the a-Si, the rate of AIC is diminished, leading larger poly-Si grain size. (C) 2015 Author(s).

Instability evolution within a-SiNx film assessed through MIS structure under bias and temperature stresses Ozdemir, O; Atilgan, I; Katircioglu, B (2001-12-01) The effects of positive and negative bias stresses on plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride/crystal silicon (a-SiNx/c-Si) structures were investigated as a function of both time and temperature. It was shown that the bias stress induces forward (positive) or backward (negative) shift of the capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic along the voltage axis according to the polarity of this applied stress voltage. The injection of charge carriers from the semico...
Theoretical investigations of the equol molecule: semi-empirical and density functional theory calculations Erkoc, F; Yilmazer, M; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-14) The structural and electronic properties of the equol molecule, an estrogenic isoflavone. have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical self-consistent field molecular orbital and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the system has been optimized at the level of AMI method and the electronic properties have been calculated at the level of B3LYP functional.
Structural Properties of ZnO Nanotubes Under Uniaxial Strain: Molecular Dynamics Simulations Kilic, Mehmet Emin; Erkoç, Şakir (2013-10-01) Structural properties of zinc oxide nanotubes with zigzag, armchair and chiral geometries have been investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations. An atomistic potential energy function has been used to represent the interactions among the atoms. Strain has been applied to the generated ZnO nanostructures along their length, which has been realized at two different temperatures, 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that ZnO nanostructures following strain application undergo a structural c...
Structural and electronic properties of ajoene molecule Erkoç, Şakir; Sumer, S; Erkoc, F (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) The structural and electronic properties of ajoene molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital theory calculations. The geometry of the system has been optimized and the electronic properties of the system considered has been calculated by semiempirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital theory at the AMI level within RHF formalism in its ground state.
Quantum chemical investigation of thalidomide molecule Erkoç, Şakir; Erkoc, F (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-14) The structural and electronic properties of the thalidomide molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital (AM1) and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized by AM1 method and the electronic properties of the molecule have been calculated by density functional theory in its ground state.
