Anisotropic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have unique optical properties, which lend them to applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Star-shaped gold (Au) NPs were prepared in aqueous solutions by the seed-mediated growth method and tested for Raman enhancement using 2-mercaptopyridine (2-MPy) and crystal violet (CV) probing molecules. For both molecules, the SERS activity of the nanostars was notably stronger than that of the spherical Au NPs of similar size. The Raman enhancement factors (EFs) for 2-MPy on Au nanostars and nanorods are comparable and estimated as greater than 5 orders of magnitude. However, the enhancement for CV on nanostars was significantly higher than for nanorods, in particular at CV concentrations of 100 nm or lower.

Dispersive optical constants and temperature tuned band gap energy of Tl2InGaS4 layered crystals Goksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, H. (IOP Publishing, 2007-06-27) The optical properties of Tl2InGaS4 layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 2.35 and 2.54 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature is gamma =...
Optical anisotropy in GaSe Seyhan, A; Karabulut, O; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Aslan, B; Turan, Raşit (Wiley, 2005-09-01) Optical anisotropy of the layer semiconductor GaSe has been studied by photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The PL spectra are dominated by two closely positioned emission bands resulting from the free exciton and the bound exciton connected direct band edge of GaSe. Photoluminescence and transmission spectra of GaSe crystals have been measured for two cases in which the propagation vector k is perpendicular (k perpendicular to c) and parallel to the c-axis (k//c). Peak...
Temperature dependence of magnetic and thermal properties of chiral HyFe and HyMn close to phase transitions by using the Landau mean field model Tari, Ozlem; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-15) Magnetic and thermal properties of chiral metal formate frameworks (MOFs) of NH2NH3M(HCOO)(3), M = Fe, Mn, namely, HyFe and HyMn are investigated close to phase transitions by using Landau phenomenological model. By expanding the free energy in terms of the order parameter, for magnetic properties the temperature dependence of magnetization and inverse magnetic susceptibility, and for thermal properties the heat capacity and entropy are calculated for chiral HyFe and HyMn close to phase transitions using th...
Temperature-tuned band gap energy and oscillator parameters of Tl2InGaSe4 semiconducting layered single crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2009-03-01) The optical properties of Tl2InGaSe4 layered single crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 nm. The analysis of room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.86 and 2.05 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature is gamma = -4...
Compositional dependence of the Raman lineshapes in GaSxSe1-x layered mixed crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2005-09-01) The Raman spectra of GaSxSe1-x layered mixed crystals were studied for a wide range of composition (0 <= x <= 1) at 300 and 10 K. The effect of crystal disorder on the linewidth broadening of shear and compressional modes is discussed. The asymmetry in the Raman lineshape was analyzed for intralayer modes exhibiting one-mode behavior. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
