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 shift of plasmon resonance peak position. It is found that surface roughness, annealing time, annealing temperature, and varying Si3N4 thickness can be used as mechanisms to control the size distribution, shape of the resultant nano-islands, and SC efficiency. The findings on the most suitable nanoparticle system production parameters by this method, depends on the applied substrate properties which are expected to guide further applications of plasmonic interfaces and also to the other kinds of device structures in the ultimate quest for attaining affordable high efficiency SCs.

First-principles investigation of CO and CO2 adsorption on gamma-Al2O3 supported monoatomic and diatomic Pt clusters
Sensoy, Mehmet Gokhan; Toffoli, Hande; Toffolı, Danıele (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
Supported clusters of transition metal atoms are key components of heterogeneous catalysts. Understanding their interaction with small molecular species is therefore an important step in catalyst design. In this work, we provide a detailed first-principles investigation of the adsorption properties of CO and CO2 on Pt-n (n = 1, 2) clusters supported by a gamma-Al2O3 (1 0 0) substrate. In particular, important parameters such as the stability of the Pt clusters, molecular adsorption energies and vibration fr...
Assessing effects of (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane self-assembled layers on surface characteristics of organosilane-grafted moisture-crosslinked polyethylene substrate: A comparative study between chemical vapor deposition and plasma-facilitated in situ grafting methods
Sarkari, Navid Mostofi; Doğan, Öznur; Bat, Erhan; Mohseni, Mohsen; Ebrahimi, Morteza (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-15)
Silane coupling agents can act as bonding intermediates at the interface of two dissimilar materials by altering surface properties. In this study, (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) was used as a silane precursor for vapor-phase deposition on organosilane-grafted moisture-crosslinked polyethylene (Si-XLPE) substrate. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and plasma-facilitated in situ grafting methods (grafting-from and grafting-onto) were employed to graft APTMS, and the consequent effects on surface of S...
Enhanced peak separation in XPS with external biasing
Ertaş, Gülay; Suzer, S (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-15)
We have demonstrated that the An 4f peaks of the capped gold nanoparticles deposited on a SiO2 (20 nm)/Si substrate can be separated form the An 4f peaks of a gold metal strip, in contact with the same sample, by application of an external voltage bias to the sample rod while recording the XPS spectra. The external bias controls the flow of low-energy electrons falling on to the sample which in-turn controls the extent of the differential charging of the oxide layer leading to shifts in the binding energy o...
Combined effect of point defects and layer number on the adsorption of benzene and toluene on graphene
Akay, Tugce Irfan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toffoli, Hande (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-30)
Understanding the adsorption properties of organic molecules on graphene-based substrates is important for such applications as air and water filters. Pristine graphene is often the model substrate used in the theoretical investigations of this problem. While useful, pristine single-layer graphene is however an idealized model. In this work, we assess the effect of the presence of point defects (single vacancy, divacancy, and the Stone-Wales defect) in single-layer and bilayer graphene on the energetics of ...
Suitable alkaline for graphene peeling grown on metallic catalysts using chemical vapor deposition
KARAMAT, SHUMAİLA; Sonusen, S.; ÇELİK, ÜMİT; UYSALLI, YİĞİT; Oral, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2016-04-15)
In chemical vapor deposition, the higher growth temperature roughens the surface of the metal catalyst and a delicate method is necessary for the transfer of graphene from metal catalyst to the desired substrates. In this work, we grow graphene on Pt and Cu foil via ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD) method and further alkaline water electrolysis was used to peel off graphene from the metallic catalyst. We used different electrolytes i.e., sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH),...
