We report on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silicon nanowires decorated with silver nanoparticles. Hydrogen peroxide in metal-assisted-etching method degenerates the surface of nanowires and creates oxygen-related defect sites. These defect sites enhance the infrared absorption at higher frequencies and emit visible light by band-to-band radiative recombination. Moreover, an almost 50-fold enhanced LSPR was obtained for 24 nm thick silver deposited 5 mu m long silicon nanowires. This enhancement was attributed to the change in the dielectric constant of effective medium created by defect states. LSPR wavelength could be tuned by changing the silver particle size and nanowire length. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Novel squaraine signalling Zn(II) ions: three-state fluorescence response to a single input Dilek, G; Akkaya, EU (2000-05-06) A novel metal ion sensitive 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indole-derived squaraine dye showing different fluorescence responses depending on the complexation stoichiometry has been synthesized. Thus, three levels of signals are attainable by varying the Zn(II) ion concentration.
Three dimensional crystalline silicon solar cells Baytemir, Gülsen; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2018) Three-dimensional crystalline silicon solar cells have been attracting attention with its remarkable electrical and optical performance. In this geometry, nano/micropillars allow minority carrier collection in the radial direction and shorten the path length of the photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, with appropriate geometry of the pillars the solar cell efficiency is enhanced due to the reduced surface reflectance and increased light harvesting. Throughout this study, metal assisted etching (MAE), a top...
Observation of Gate-Tunable Coherent Perfect Absorption of Terahertz Radiation in Graphene Kakenov, Nurbek; Balci, Osman; Takan, Taylan; ÖZKAN, VEDAT ALİ; Altan, Hakan; KOCABAŞ, COŞKUN (2016-09-01) We report experimental observation of electrically tunable coherent perfect absorption (CPA) of terahertz (THz) radiation in graphene. We develop a reflection-type tunable THz cavity formed by a large-area graphene layer, a metallic reflective electrode, and an electrolytic medium in between. Ionic gating in the THz cavity allows us to tune the Fermi energy of graphene up to 1 eV and to achieve a critical coupling condition at 2.8 THz with absorption of 99%. With the enhanced THz absorption, we were able to...
Fabrication and doping of thin crystalline Si films prepared by e-beam evaporation on glass substrate Sedani, Salar Habibpur; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2013) In this thesis study, fabrication and doping of silicon thin films prepared by electron beam evaporation equipped with effusion cells for solar cell applications have been investigated. Thin film amorphous Si (a-Si) layers have been fabricated by the electron beam evaporator and simultaneously doped with boron (B) and phosphorous (P) using effusion cells. Samples were prepared on glass substrates for the future solar cell operations. Following the deposition of a-Si thin film, crystallization of the films h...
Efficient Light Trapping in Inverted Nanopyramid Thin Crystalline Silicon Membranes for Solar Cell Applications MAVROKEFALOS, Anastassios; HAN, Sang Eon; Yerci, Selçuk; Branham, Matthew S.; CHEN, Gang (2012-06-01) Thin-film crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells with light-trapping structures can enhance light absorption within the semiconductor absorber layer and reduce material usage. Here we demonstrate that an inverted nanopyramid light-trapping scheme for c-Si thin films, fabricated at wafer scale via a low-cost wet etching process, significantly enhances absorption within the c-Si layer. A broadband enhancement in absorptance that approaches the Yablo-novitch limit (Yablo-novitch, E. J. Opt. Soc. Am. 1987, 72, ...
