Despite significant progress In synthesizing several new molecules and many promising single device demonstrations, wide range acceptance of molecular electronics as an alternative to CMOS technology has been stalled not only by controversial theories of a molecular device's operation, for example the switching mechanism, but also by our inability to reproducibly fabricate large arrays of devices. In this paper, we investigate the role of Casimir force as one of the potential source of a wide range of discrepancies in the reported electrical characteristics and high rate of device shorting in molecular electronic switching junctions fabricated by sandwiching a molecular monolayer between a pair of planar metal electrodes.

Multilayer graphene growth on polar dielectric substrates using chemical vapour deposition KARAMAT, SHUMAİLA; Celik, K.; Zaman, S. Shah; Oral, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01) High quality of graphene is necessary for its applications at industrial scale production. The most convenient way is its direct growth on dielectrics which avoid the transfer route of graphene from metal to dielectric substrate usually followed by graphene community. The choice of a suitable dielectric for the gate material which can replace silicon dioxide (SiO2) is in high demand. Various properties like permittivity, thermodynamic stability, film morphology, interface quality, bandgap and band alignment...
Void intergranual motion under the action of electromigration forces in thin film interconnects with bamboo structure Oren, EE; Ogurtani, TO (2001-11-30) The rigorous formulation of the internal entropy production, and the generalized forces and conjugate fluxes associated with the virtual displacement of a triple junction are presented in multi-component systems. Extensive computer simulations are performed on the void configurational evolution during the intergranual motion; under the actions of capillary and electromigration forces in thin film metallic interconnects with bamboo structure having various grain textures, The texture studies in this work sho...
Influence of oxygen plasma modification on surface free energy of PMMA films and cell attachment Ozcan, Canturk; Zorlutuna, Pinar; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2007-10-04) For any biomaterial placed into a biological medium, the surface properties of the material, such as porosity, crystallinity, presence and distribution of electrical charge and functional groups are very critical parameters that determine the acceptance or rejection of the material. Applications, especially tissue engineering require some surface modifications at the molecular level without disturbing the bulk properties of the implants in order to enhance the cell attachment on the material. An appropriate...
Influence of surface treatment of fillers on the mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites Tayfun, Ümit; Bayramlı, Erdal; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015) The incompatibility between filler and polymer matrix is the major restriction for the production of composites to have desirable properties. Several surface modification methods are applied to filler surface in order to improve the interfacial adhesion with polymer matrix. Easy processablity and fully recyclability character of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) make it cost effective for many applications. Majority of TPU application is across a range of markets including automotive, sporting goods, medical...
A feasibility study for controlling self-organized production of plasmonic enhancement interfaces for solar cells Borra, Mona Zolfaghari; Gullu, Seda Kayra; Es, Fırat; Demircioğlu, Olgu; Günöven, Mete; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan (Elsevier BV, 2014-11-01) The decoration of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) by the self-organized mechanism of dewetting is utilized as a suitable method for plasmonic interface integration to large area full-scale solar cell (SC) devices. Reflection measurements are performed on both flat and textured silicon (Si) SCs in order to investigate the local plasmonic resonances of the MNPs. The effects of particle size and thickness of silicon nitride (Si3N4)anti-reflection coating layer are investigated by reflection measurements and the shi...
