Ion beam sputtering is one of the widely used methods for manufacturing laser optical components due to its advantages such as uniformity, reproducibility, suitability for multilayer coatings and growth of dielectric materials with high packing densities. In this study, single Ta2O5 layers and Ta2O5/SiO2 heterostructures were deposited on optical quality glass substrates by dual ion beam sputtering. We focused on the effect of deposition conditions like substrate cleaning, assistance by 12 cm diameter ion beam source and oxygen partial pressure on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 single layers. After-wards, the obtained information is employed to a sample design and produces a Ta2O5/SiO2 multilayer structure demonstrating low laser-induced damage without a post treatment procedure.

Improving the ductility of polylactic acid parts produced by fused deposition modeling through polyhydroxyalkanoate additions
Kaygusuz, Burçin; Özerinç, Sezer (2019-11-01)
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most commonly used materials for fused deposition modeling (FDM) due to its low cost, biocompatibility, and desirable printing characteristics. However, its low ductility is a major disadvantage for engineering applications where high damage tolerance is needed. This study investigates the feasibility of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) additions to PLA for improving the ductility of parts produced by FDM. Thermal and mechanical behavior of PLA/PHA specimens containing 12 wt % ...
DEVELOPMENT OF BORIDES/BORATES FOR ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES
Bahtiyar, Doruk; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-9)
For many years, materials in the form of metal sulfides, oxides, phosphates, and titanates have been developed as cathode and anode active materials to be used in energy storage devices. Borides and borates, recently, attracted the attention of researchers in this field. In this study, for the development of a new class of materials for energy storage applications, synthesis and characterization of metal (Fe, Mo, Mn, and V) borides and (Mn, and Y)borates were carried out. The obtained materials were tested ...
Properties of reactive O-2 ion beam sputtered TiO2 on Si wafers
Ulucan, S; Aygun, G; Ozyuzer, L; Egilmez, M; Turan, Raşit (2005-02-01)
Tio(2) thin films were deposited on silicon (100) p-type wafers, using the reactive ion beam sputtering method in high vacuum as an alternative to conventional Argon ion beam sputtering in an O-2 environment. Oxygen ions with 1000 eV energy were formed in a thruster and bombarded a high purity Ti target. The molecules of Tio(2) were deposited on a Si (100) wafer at various substrate temperatures. The structural and optical properties were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in the range o...
Applications of ions produced by low intensity repetitive laser pulses for implantation into semiconductor materials
Wolowski, J.; Badziak, J.; Czarnecka, A.; Parys, P.; Pisarek, M.; Rosinski, M.; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk (2008-01-01)
This work reports experiment concerning specific applications of implantation of laser-produced ions for production of semiconductor nanocrystals. The investigation was carried out in the IPPLM within the EC STREP 'SEMINANO' project. A repetitive pulse laser system of parameters: energy up to 0.8 J in a 3.5 ns-pulse, wavelength of 1.06 mu m, repetition rate of up to 10 Hz, has been employed in these investigations. The characterisation of laser-produced ions was performed with the use of 'time-of-flight' io...
Observation of Oscillatory Surface Reactions of Riboflavin, Trolox, and Singlet Oxygen Using Single Carbon Nanotube Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Sen, Fatih; Boghossian, Ardemis A.; Sen, Selda; Ulissi, Zachary W.; Zhang, Jingqing; Strano, Michael S. (2012-12-01)
Single-molecule fluorescent microscopy allows semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to detect the adsorption and desorption of single adsorbate molecules as a stochastic modulation of emission intensity. In this study, we identify and assign the signature of the complex decomposition and reaction pathways of riboflavin in the presence of the free radical scavenger Trolox using DNA-wrapped SWCNT sensors dispersed onto an aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) coated surface. SWCNT emission is qu...
