In this paper, we report on the synthesis and applications of semiconducting nanostructures. Nanostructures of interest were zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires and tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanotubes where transistors/phototransistors and photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion cells have been fabricated. ZnO nanowires were grown with both high- and low-temperature approaches, depending on the application. Individual ZnO nanowire side-gated transistors revealed excellent performance with a field-effect mobility of 928 cm(2)/V . s. ZnO networks were proposed for large-area macroelectronic devices as a less lithographically intense alternative to individual nanowire transistors where mobility values in excess of 20 cm(2)/V . s have been achieved. Flexible PV devices utilizing ZnO nanowires as electron acceptors and for photoinduced charge separation and transport have been presented. Phototransistors were fabricated using individual WS2 nanotubes, where clear sensitivity to visible light has been observed. The results presented here simply reveal the potential use of inorganic nanowires/tubes for various optoelectronic devices.

ZnO nanowires grown on SOI CMOS substrate for ethanol sensing Santra, S.; Guha, P. K.; Ali, S. Z.; Hiralal, P.; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Covington, J. A.; Amaratunga, G. A. J.; Milne, W. I.; Gardner, J. W.; Udrea, F. (2010-04-29) This paper reports on the integration of zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) with a silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) micro-hotplate for use as an alcohol sensor. The micro-hotplates consist of a silicon resistive micro-heater embedded within a membrane (composed of silicon oxide and silicon nitride, supported on a silicon substrate) and gold bump bonded aluminum electrodes that are used to make an ohmic contact with the sensing material. ZnO NWs were grown by a simple, lo...
Self condensation reaction of alpha-ketophosphonates Göllü, Mehmet; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2007) This thesis presents synthesis of tertiary α-hydroxy phosphonate derivatives. α-Ketophosphonates is known that they are both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles. In this work, α-ketophosphonates were used as both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles in the presence of catalytic amount of KCN. α-Ketophosphonates underwent benzoin-type condensation reaction.
Photoexcitation Dynamics in Films of C-60 and Zn Phthalocyanine with a Layered Nanostructure Lane, Paul A.; Cunningham, Paul D.; Melinger, Joseph S.; Kushto, Gary P.; Esentürk, Okan; Heilweil, Edwin J. (2012-02-15) We elucidate photoexcitation dynamics in C-60 and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) from picoseconds to milliseconds by transient absorption and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. Autoionization of C-60 is a precursor to photocarrier generation. Decay of the terahertz signal is due to decreasing photocarrier mobility over the first 20 ps and thereafter reflects recombination dynamics. Singlet diffusion rates in C-60 are determined by modeling the rise of ground state bleaching of ZnPc absorption following C-60 ...
Alkyl end group Modification of Benzotriazole and Thiophene Containing Conjugated Polymers Cevher, Şevki Can; Keleş, Duygu; Özdemir Hacıoğlu, Şerife; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (null; 2016-07-21) This study focused on modifying the alkyl‐end‐group of benzotriazole and thiophene containing conjugated polymers. Introducing a moiety with struc‐turally rigid and tendency to enhance the π‐π stacking and also absorption in the high energetic region, influence the both electronic and optic properties of the conjugated polymers. Stille cross coupling chemical polymerization method was performed to synthesize the polymer contains: benzotriazole and bisthiophene. Characterizations of polymers were done in ter...
DRBEM solution of mixed convection flow of nanofluids in enclosures with moving walls Gumgum, S.; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) This paper presents the results of a numerical study on unsteady mixed convection flow of nanofluids in lid-driven enclosures filled with aluminum oxide and copper-water based nanofluids. The governing equations are solved by the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM), and the time derivatives are discretized using the implicit central difference scheme. All the convective terms and the vorticity boundary conditions are evaluated in terms of the DRBEM coordinate matrix. Linear boundary elements an...
