Fluorene-type (C13H10) thin films were synthesized by using the mixture of biphenyl (C12H10) and methane (CH4) plasma. The reactor is a parallel plate installation; upper electrode is connected to 13.56MHz rf power and lower electrode is grounded. The thin films were deposited by applying a negative bias potential between the substrate and the wall of reactor. The films were investigated by residual gas analysis (RGA), UV-vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscope (AFM) and ellipsometry. They had significant nanostructured properties which were suitable for photovoltaic applications. The conjugation was improved by iodine doping and the optical band gap energy dropped down up to 2.85 eV.

Mechanism and characterization studies on boron carbides deposited by chemical vapor deposition technique Karaman, Mustafa; Özbelge, Hilmi Önder; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur (2005-12-02) Boron carbide was produced in an impinging jet CVD reactor from a gas mixture of BCl3, CH4 and H-2. The mass transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics were minimised by the jet impingement on the substrate surface. XPS characterization of the produced deposits revealed a nearly pure boron carbide phase containing small amounts of oxy-boron and oxy-carbon species. After a detailed kinetic study, a reaction model was proposed to predict the rates of boron carbide and dichloroborane formation reactions. In...
Preparation of BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin films by chemical solution deposition and their electrical characterization Adem, Umut; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003) In this study, barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films with different compositions (Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3, Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3) were produced by chemical solution deposition technique. BST solutions were prepared by dissolving barium acetate, strontium acetate and titanium isopropoxide in acetic acid and adding ethylene glycol as a chelating agent and stabilizer to this solution, at molar ratio of acetic acid/ethylene glycol, 3:1. The solution was then coated on Si and Pt//Ti/SiO2/Si ...
Synthesis and characterization of boron carbide films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition Eroglu, OD; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Ozbelge, HO; Durmazucar, HH (2003-03-01) The plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of boron carbide was investigated on quartz glass and alumina substrates from a gas mixture of BCl3, H-2, and CH4 in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) medium produced by a radio frequency (RF) discharged onto the gases passing through a tubular reactor under atmospheric pressure. A thin solid boron carbide coating with a gray color was deposited on both substrates. The results of XRD revealed that the major solid phase formed in the coating material was beta-r...
Characterization and enhancement of IR optical and tribological properties of DLC films synthesized by RF-PECVD Taburoğlu, Vahit Eren; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) This thesis analyzes the hydrogenated amorphous diamond like carbon (a-DLC) films coated on aluminum substrates by the technique of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Effects of film thickness, hydrogen content and RF power on the tribology, optical characteristics and structure are observed and studied in detail. DLC films have compressive intrinsic stresses by default. Surface topography revealed by an interferometer shows that too low/high compressive stress is detrimental to the film. In...
Synthesis of CNT-titania-silica nanocomposite thin films: the effect of heat treatment on photocatalytic activity Kırbaş, Tuğçe; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014) In this study, CNT-TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by sol-gel process and the thin films over glass substrates were fabricated by dip coating method. The effects of CNT addition, heat treatment temperature and atmospheres on the structure and photocatalytic properties were examined. The thin films were prepared with and without carbon nanotubes and the heat treatment was carried out at different temperatures in the range of 300-600oC under air and nitrogen atmosphere. Characterization of the sampl...
