In this study, we investigate the effects of etching additional splits in various numbers and positions on the resonance frequency of the SRR type metamaterials. Herein, instead of using externally connected lumped capacitors, we introduced additional capacitances along the outer conducting ring of the SRR at the sites of additional splits. The states of the splits (on/off) may be controlled by RF MEMS switches for adaptive control of the magnetic resonance frequency.

Theoretical investigation of intersubband nonlinear optical rectification in AlxlGa1-xlAs/GaAs/AlxrGa1-xrAs asymmetric rectangular quantum wells
Karabulut, Ibrahim; Atav, Uelfet; Safak, Haluk; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2007-09-01)
In this study, a theoretical investigation of intersubband nonlinear optical rectification in Alx1Ga1-x1As/ GaAs/AlxrGa1-xrAs asymmetric rectangular quantum wells is presented. The electronic states in the asymmetric rectangular quantum well are described within the framework of the envelope function approach including the effects of band nonparabolicity and the effective mass mismatch. The nonlinear optical rectification is calculated using the density matrix formalism. It is found that the nonlinear optic...
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...

Saeidi, Shayan; Rasekh, Payman; Awan, Kashif M.; Tugen, Alperen; Huttunen, Mikko J.; Dolgaleva, Ksenia (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01)
We report on the study of the third-order nonlinear optical interactions in InxGa1-xAsyP1-y/InP strip-loaded waveguides. The material composition and waveguide structures were optimized for enhanced nonlinear optical interactions. We performed self-phase modulation, four-wave mixing and nonlinear absorption measurements at the pump wavelength 1568 nm in our waveguides. The nonlinear phase shift of up to 2.5 pi has been observed in self-phase modulation experiments. The measured value of the two-photon absor...
Metamaterial Sensor Applications Based on Broadside Coupled SRR and V Shaped Resonator Structures
EKMEKÇİ, EVREN; Sayan, Gönül (2011-07-08)
In this study, the use of broadside-coupled SRR (BC-SRR) metamaterial topology is suggested for pressure, temperature, humidity and concentration sensor applications. Also, the use of V-shaped resonator topology is suggested for pressure sensor application. The feasibility of such sensors are demonstrated by numerical simulations for microwave region under magnetic excitation.
Experimental characterization of a tuned vibration absorber
Aksoy, Tuğrul; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Acar, Bülent; Gençoğlu, Caner (2016-01-01)
In this paper, experimental characterization studies conducted for a tuned vibration absorber is presented. The tuned vibration absorber has been particularly designed to reduce transverse resonant vibration response of a supported cylinder structure at its dominant two modes. Various testing configurations and techniques have been used such as transmissibility measurements, frequency response measurements, sweep sine testing, impact testing, and random testing. Different testing approaches were needed to e...
