We have studied dosimetric characteristics, linearity and performance of MOS structures as radiation sensors. This was performed by analyzing the correlation between irradiation dose and the shift in flat band voltage of MOS capacitors which were tested against gamma and beta radiations. Devices have been studied after repeated cycles of irradiation and annealing treatment under hydrogen and nitrogen ambient. Each cycle consists of gamma irradiation with 60 Gray-dose and an anneal at 200 degrees C for 30 min. Results obtained by high frequency C-V methods show that irradiation-annealing cycle correlates with the recovery of the measured signal. The charging-discharging mechanism during the cyclic treatment is discussed. The variation of the interface state density during the irradiation-annealing cycle was studied with a model based on conductance-voltage measurements.

Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity, space-charge-limited current and photoconductivity of Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals
IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-15)
Dark electrical resistivity, space-charge-limited (SCL) current and photoconductivity measurements were carried out on Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. Analysis of the dark resistivity measurements revealed the presence of one level with activation energy of 0.10 eV. Current voltage characteristics showed that both ohmic and SCL characters exhibit in 180-300 K range. Analysis of the experimental data in the SCL region resulted with a trap level at 0.11 eV above the valence band. Photoconductivity measurement...
Phonon dispersions and elastic constants of disordered Pd-Ni alloys
Kart, SO; Tomak, Mehmet; Cagin, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-31)
Phonon frequencies of Pd-Ni alloys are calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Lattice dynamical properties computed from Sutton-Chen (SC) and quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potentials as a function of temperature are compared with each other. We present all interatomic force constants up to the 8th nearest-neighbor shell obtained by using the calculated potential. Elastic constants evaluated by two methods are consistent with each other. The transferability of the potential is also tested. The result...
Design optimization of a laser path length controller through numerical analysis and experimental validation
Fenercioglu, Tevfik Ozan; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (IOS Press, 2019-01-01)
As an integral part of Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems, ring laser gyroscopes (RLG) are exposed to joint loading conditions where thermal, static and dynamic loads occur simultaneously. The effects of different loading conditions on overall RLG performance should be addressed in parallel for an optimum design. A crucial aspect in this process is the development of the path length controller (PLC), consisting of a mirror, a composite piezo electric bending actuator and other motion transfer elements. T...
Forward and reverse bias current-voltage characteristics of Au/n-Si Schottky barrier diodes with and without SnO2 insulator layer
GÖKÇEN, MUHARREM; ALTINDAL, ŞEMSETTİN; Karaman, M.; Aydemir, U. (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01)
The effects of interfacial insulator layer, interface states (N-ss) and series resistance (R-s) on the electrical characteristics of Au/n-Si structures have been investigated using forward and reverse bias current-voltage (I-V) characteristics at room temperature. Therefore, Au/n-Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were fabricated as SBDs with and without insulator SnO2 layer to explain the effect of insulator layer on main electrical parameters. The values of ideality factor (n), R-s and barrier height (Phi(...
Investigation of photovoltaic properties of amorphous InSe thin film based Schottky devices
Yilmaz, K.; Parlak, Mehmet; Ercelebi, C. (IOP Publishing, 2007-12-01)
In this study, device behavior of amorphous InSe thin films was investigated through I-V, C-V and spectral response measurements onto SnO2/p-InSe/metal Schottky diode structures. Various metal contacts such as Ag, Au, Al, In and C were deposited onto amorphous p-InSe films by the thermal evaporation technique. The best rectifying contact was obtained in a SnO2/p-InSe/Ag Schottky structure from I-V measurements, while the Au contact had poor rectification. Other metal contacts (Al, In and C) showed almost oh...
