This work describes a facile route for the synthesis of silver (Ag)-platinum (Pt) core-shell nanowires (NWs) with controlled diameter in the range of 63-96 nm. Optimum synthesis conditions were determined to obtain conformal and galvanic replacement free deposition of Pt on Ag NWs. Synthesized Ag-Pt core-shell NWs were examined using SEM, TEM and XPS. Further studies were conducted to compare the performances of Ag-Pt core-shell NW networks to those of pristine Ag NW networks. In this regard, electrochemical, chemical and environmental stabilities were elaborated. Electrochemical stability tests were conducted in three electrode configuration comprised of Ag/AgCl reference, Pt plate counter and nanowire network working electrodes. In chemical stability tests, resistance change upon hydrogen peroxide exposure was monitored. The environmental stability tests were carried out under different relative humidity levels and temperatures. The humidity levels and temperatures were selected as 43, 75 and 84 %RH and 150 oC, 75 oC and room temperature, respectively. In all cases, clear improvement of stability for Ag-Pt core-shell NW networks were obtained. All in all, this highly effective and simple strategy to improve the stability vi of Ag NWs will certainly open new avenues for their large scale utilization in various optoelectronic devices.

Laboratory determination of multicomponent effective diffusion coefficients for heavy metals in a compacted clay Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2005-01-01) Diffusion and sorption of heavy-metal ions (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Ni, Plb, and Zn) through an Ankara clay liner were studied experimentally. The Ankara clay consists of calcite, quartz, smectite and illite, and is a highly plastic inorganic clay with optimum weight water content of 32% and corresponding dry density of 1.413 g/cm(3). U nder optimum compaction conditions, effective porosity (volumetric water content) and hydraulic conductivity in the material were determined as 0.45 and 1.3 to 2.6x10(-9) cm/...
Thermal Analysis and Rheological Study of Ocma Type Bentonite Used in Drilling Fluids Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2013-01-01) In this research, Ocma type of bentonite sample was studied by x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform spectrophotometer, viscometer, differential scanning calorimeter, and thermogravimetry. It was observed that the major clay mineral was smectite and montmorillonite. Different band intervals were studied by Fourier transform spectrophotometer. The weight loss regions related to the dehydration and de-hydroxylation process were determined by differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetry at different h...
Numerical Solution and Stability Analysis of Transient MHD Duct Flow Tezer, Münevver (2018-11-01) This paper simulates the 2D transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the radial basis function (RBF) approximation. The inhomogeneities in the Poisson’s type MHD equations are approximated using the polynomial functions (1+r) and the particular solution is found satisfying both the equations and the boundary conditions (no-slip and insulated walls). The Euler scheme is used for advancing the solution to ste...
Experimental determination of hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients for heavy metals using compacted clay Camur, MZ; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2001-07-27) Mass transport of ions through the Ankara clay liner, which was prepared under three different compaction conditions, was studied experimentally on the basis of sorption, advection and hydrodynamic dispersion processes. Under optimum compaction conditions, effective porosity and hydraulic conductivity of the material were 0.32 and 0. 13-0.26 x 10(-8) cm s(-1), respectively. Effective diffusion coefficients of Cd, Cl, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn ions were, respectively, 2.54, 9.51, 2.22, 2.85, 2.22,...
Ion implantation in confined, pinching metallic plasmas Demokan, O; Marji, E (1999-02-15) A series of preliminary experiments have been carried out to obtain a metallic arc discharge, in the form of an annular cylindrical column, carrying a current in the axial direction. To assert this geometry, a ring-shaped cathode is adopted and an arc formation is triggered by heating the cathode externally. The plasma, initially in the form of a cylindrical shell, is seen to be confined and pinched by its own magnetic field. The resulting, radially inward flux is observed to produce efficient and multidire...
