Dark current suppression via depletion region engineering is performed to eliminate Shockley-Read-Hall, Radiative and Trap-Assisted-Tunnelling dark currents in various atmospheric transmission windows. Effectiveness of the suppression technique is compared for all types of detectors revealing the dominant mechanisms and the performance limitations.

Passivation of type II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors with atomic layer deposited Al2O3
Salihoglu, Omer; Muti, Abdullah; Kutluer, Kutlu; Tansel, Tunay; Turan, Raşit; KOCABAŞ, COŞKUN; AYDINLI, ATİLLA (2012-04-27)
We have achieved significant improvement in the electrical performance of the InAs/GaSb midwave infrared photodetector (MWIR) by using atomic layer deposited (ALD) aluminium oxide (Al2O3) as a passivation layer. Plasma free and low operation temperature with uniform coating of ALD technique leads to a conformal and defect free coverage on the side walls. This conformal coverage of rough surfaces also satisfies dangling bonds more efficiently while eliminating metal oxides in a self cleaning process of the A...
Frequency Modulated Raman Spectroscopy
Greco, Silvio; Dal Zilio, Simone; Bek, Alpan; Lazzarino, Marco; Naumenko, Denys (2018-02-01)
The coupling of plasmonic and mechanical properties at the nanoscale is of great potential for the development of next generation devices capable to detect weak forces, mass changes, minute displacements and temperature induced effects. Both the transduction of mechanical motion to the scattered light fields in term of polarization or intensity modulation and plasmon-driven mechanical oscillations have already been demonstrated. Quasi static tunable hot spots have recently been designed and applied to surfa...
Application of Si Nanowires Fabricated by Metal-Assisted Etching to Crystalline Si Solar Cells
KULAKCI, Mustafa; ES, FIRAT; ÖZDEMİR, Baris; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit (2013-01-01)
Reflection and transmission through a solar cell can be significantly reduced using light-trapping structures. This approach can be applied to both crystalline and thin-film solar cells to improve the light absorption and conversion efficiency of the cell. In this study, vertically aligned Si nanowires were fabricated over a large area via a metal-assisted etching technique. Following a detailed parametric study, nanowires were applied to industrial-size (156 mm x 156 mm) Si solar cells. The reflectivity fr...
Hygro-Thermal, Hydric, and Mechanical Properties of Fibre and Aggregate Reinforced Earth Plasters
Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Pedergnana, Matthieu (2021-07-01)
Earth plasters have been used as a protective coating for buildings but, due to their low strength and low resistance to weather conditions, they have been abandoned for more resistant materials which in return lack vapour permeability. Earth plasters have usually a high moisture sorption rate, and their water vapour permeability is high, allowing the transfer of humidity through the material. These properties make them an interesting material for controlling vapour movement in humid rooms. Improving...
Photovoltaic performance of CdS/CdTe junctions on ZnO nanorod arrays
Kartopu, G.; Turkay, D.; Özcan, Can; Hadıbrata, W.; Aurang, P.; Yerci, Selçuk; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Barrioz, V.; Qu, Y.; Bowen, L.; Gurlek, A. K.; Maiello, P.; Turan, Raşit; Irvine, S. J. C. (2018-03-01)
One-dimensional nanostructures, such as nanorod (NR) arrays, are expected to improve the photovoltaic (PV) response of solar cells with an ultrathin absorber due to an increased areal (junction) density and light trapping. We report on the deposition of CdS and CdTe:As semiconductor thin films on ZnO NR arrays by means of metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The change in optical properties of the ZnO NRs upon the growth of CdS shell was monitored and compared to the simulated data, which confir...
