Production of polythiophene (PTH) and polypyrrole (PPY) thin films via double discharge plasma system has been studied. The double discharge system is a superposition of an ordinary low-pressure dc glow discharge and a high-current pulsed one. The glass substrates were located simultaneously at three different positions in the reactor and the thin films were synthesized at constant plasma parameters to evaluate the influence of the position on the molecular structure. And, the as-grown and iodine doped thin films were investigated to find out the correlation between molecular structure variation of the iodine-film interactions, too. The PTH (C4H4S) and PPY (C4H5N) monomers without using any carrier gases have been used as plasma precursors, each at 1 mbar operating pressure. The thin films were compared by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. It is found that the thin films obtained at the pulsed plasma region where the gas phase polymerization is dominated resemble to conventional polymeric structure. The XPS depth profiles revealed that while the stoichiometry of the monomer was almost preserved with the successive depth of PTH samples, but at the PPY one was not preserved. Moreover, the atomic concentration of oxygen and nitrogen observed at the surface of the films significantly drops down beneath the surface which indicates that they could be employed as anti-corrosive materials. It is found that chemical bonding with iodine take place after doping and the value of the optical band gap of polymers (E-g) are reduced proportionally with doping time.

Characterization of Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 by Raman spectroscopy Serincan, U; Kartopu, G; Guennes, A; Finstad, TG; Turan, Raşit; Ekinci, Y; Bayliss, SC (IOP Publishing, 2004-02-01) Ge nanocrystals formed in a SiO2 matrix by ion implantation were studied by Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that Raman analysis based on the phonon confinement model yields a successful explanation of the peculiar characteristics resulting from the nanocrystals. A broadening and a shift in the Raman peak are expected to result from the reduced size of the crystals. Asymmetry in the peak is attributed to the variations in the size of the nanocrystals. These effects were observed experimentally for the Ge nan...
Processing of porous TiNi alloys using magnesium as space holder Aydogmus, Tarik; Bor, Sakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-10) Slightly Ni-rich, chemically homogeneous porous TiNi alloys having porosities in the range 59-81% have been produced using magnesium powder as pore forming agent. TiNi in the form of austenite, apart from a small amount of martensite, was the only phase present in the product. The processed alloys exhibited interconnected open pores spherical in shape and with an average pore size around 400 mu m. Elastic modulus values observed to extend from 0.5 to 9 GPa depending on porosity content were comparable to th...
Synthesis and characterization of graft copolymers of poly(2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinylether) and polypyrrole Kalaycioglu, E; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Y (Elsevier BV, 2000-01-03) Poly(2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinylether) (poly(2-NEVE)) was synthesized from poly(2-chloroethylvinylether) (poly(2-CEVE)) via phase catalysis reaction. Graft copolymers of PPy/poly(2-NEVE) were synthesized by electrochemical methods. The chemical structure of poly(2-NEVE) was investigated by several spectroscopic and thermal methods. Graft copolymers were characterized by means of FTIR, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Gravimetry Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Conductivities ...
THE INFLUENCE OF WATER ON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF 3-ACYLPYRROLES VOIGT, M; ROHDE, N; HALLENSLEBEN, ML; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 1993-03-22) Several poly(3-acylpyrrole)s have been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of some common impurities like water and cyanide present in the solvent-electrolyte system on the redox behavior of the polymer films were emphasized. Due to the presence of such impurities we have also observed changes in the macroscopic properties of the films such as their electrical conductivities. There is enough evidence that the amount of such impurities can be correlated to the degree of the so called overoxidation p...
Instability phenomenon originated from the disordered layer of the plasma-deposited BN film/c-Si interface assessed through the MIS structure by admittance measurement Oezdemir, Orhan R.; Anutgan, Mustafa; Aliyeva-Anutgan, Tamila; Atilgan, Ismail; Katircioglu, Bayram (IOP Publishing, 2008-02-01) A plasma enhanced chemical vapor-deposited (PECVD) boron nitride (BN) film on p-type crystalline silicon (p-c-Si) was used to fabricate the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) test structure. The effects of positive (inverting type) and negative (accumulating type) bias stresses on the MIS (Al/BN/p-Si/Al) structure were investigated as a function of time, bias voltage stresses and temperature. Charge injection into the gate dielectric (BN film in this case) was considered as a mechanism to provoke the insta...
