Schottky barrier junctions of PtSi/Si1-xGex were produced; the silicide was deposited by co-sputtering on defect-free well-calibrated strained-Si1-xGex (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.242) layers. This work is motivated by the fact that it is very difficult to control the formation of well-defined and well-controlled PtSi/Si1-xGex junctions by reacting Pt/Si1-xGex or by using a silicon cap layer. The Schottky barrier heights of these junctions were substantially lower than those of PtSi/Si junctions. Different characterization tools were employed for structural characterization. High-resolution multicrystal x-ray diffraction (HR-MCXRD) was used to investigate the sample quality and strain state of the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown Si1-xGex layers and to accurately determine the Ge fraction in the fabricated junctions. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was applied to investigate the interface roughness. The possible interlayer diffusion was investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The variation of the barrier height of the junctions with the Ge fraction x was studied, and it was found to follow the same change as the band gap of strained-Si1-xGex. Also, and for comparison, Pt/p-Si1-xGex junctions were produced, and the effect of annealing on electrical characteristics was investigated. (C) 1997 American Vacuum Society.

Seismic retrofit of non-ductile reinforced concrete frames with chevron braces ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Binici, Barış; Akpinar, Ugur (2013-07-01) The use of chevron braces for seismic strengthening of existing non-ductile reinforced concrete frames was investigated experimentally and numerically. Five strengthened and two as-built reference portal frame specimens were tested under a constant gravity load and increasing cyclic lateral displacement excursions. The test results indicated that steel brace retrofitting increased the lateral stiffness, strength and energy dissipation capacity significantly. Specimens strengthened with square hollow section...
Theoretical investigation of effects of flow oscillations on ultrasound Doppler velocity measurements Koseli, Volkan; Uludağ, Yusuf (Elsevier BV, 2012-02-01) Effects of flow oscillations on spectrum of Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry (UDV) signals were investigated theoretically and numerically. A laminar pipe flow with a superimposed oscillating component was considered. Negative impact of oscillation on the ultrasound signal hence on the flow images was observed in the form of spreading of spectral ultrasound signal energy around mean component, leading to image artifacts. Both analytical and numerical results revealed the strong effect of a group of parameters...
Structural investigation of monolayers prepared by deposition of (CH3S)(2) on the (111) face of single-crystal gold Danışman, Mehmet Fatih; Bracco, G; Scoles, G (2002-11-14) Although self-assembled monolayers made of long chains of n-alkanethiols [CH3(CH2)(n-1)SH] on Au(111) have been extensively studied in the past, the driving forces behind the appearance of the (3 x 2root3) superlattice observed at full coverage are still not completely understood. To focus on the role played by the sulfur headgroup minimizing the interactions between chains and to prevent a possible X-ray-induced damage, we have carried out a He atom diffraction study of the adsorption of the shortest (n = ...
Sensorless direct field oriented control of induction machine by flux and speed estimation using model reference adaptive system Şimşek, Günay; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) This work focuses on an observer design which will estimate flux-linkage and speed for induction motors in its entire speed control range. The theoretical base of the algorithm is explained in detail and its both open-loop, and closed-loop performance is tested with experiments, measuring only stator current and voltage. Theoretically, the field-oriented control for the induction motor drive can be mainly categorized into two types; indirect and direct field oriented. The field to be oriented may be rotor, ...
Numerical and experimental determination of the residual stress state in multipass welded API 5LX70 plates Garipova, Nuriya; Batıgün, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2014-01-01) Residual stres s distributions in multipass welded API SL X70 steel plates were determined by numerical and experimental methods. SYSWELD finite element software was used for numerical simulations. Microstructure variations were also considered for calculation of residual stresses. The continuous cooling transformation diagram was obtained via JMatPro software. The results showed that residual stress distribution is sensitive to number of weld passes, and microstructure changes. The simulation results were ...
