One-dimensional nanostructures open up new avenues in materials science since materials' properties do change with the dimension and size. Silver is a highly appealing material both in nanosize and bulk form. This is because of its high electrical conductivity. Silver nanowires are widely used in electronic and optoelectronic applications. On the other hand, although copper is almost equally conductive and cheaper than silver, copper nanowires are relatively new to these application areas. In this study, transparent thin film heaters were produced using copper nanowire random networks. Initially, copper nanowires were synthesized with a simple solutionbased method. After purification and dispersion of nanowires, thin films were deposited by spray coating. A major problem for copper nanowires in heater application is their oxidation since copper nanowires easily oxidize at elevated temperatures. The problem was solved by the deposition of an aluminum oxide shell layer onto copper nanowires via atomic layer deSRVLWLRQ PHWKRG %DUH FRSSHU QDQRZLUH WKLQ ILOPV¶ heater performance was poor since the heater temperature can only be increased up to 100 °C under an applied bias, which then gradually dropped off due to oxidation. On the other hand, the heater temperature of aluminum oxide coated copper nanowire networks was increased up to 200 °C under an applied bias. Detailed analysis on the thermal, optical and electrical properties of copper nanowire network heaters will be presented.

Nanoscale active tuning of the second harmonic generation efficiency in semiconductors from super-low to gigantic values Asirim, Ozum Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2022-08-01) Second harmonic generation efficiency (SHGE) strongly depends on the length of the interaction material along the beam propagation axis. Since a nanoscale interaction length is considered too short even in the optical wavelength scale, the attained SHGE through nanomaterials is usually too low to be of practical use. In this study, it will be shown that by properly adjusting the conduction-band electron density in a semiconductor nanomaterial under a certain optical pumping rate (active tuning), the SHGE ca...
Multiscale Self-Assembly of Silicon Quantum Dots into an Anisotropic Three-Dimensional Random Network İlday, Serim Kayacan; İlday, Fatih Ömer; Huebner, Rene; Prosa, Ty J.; Martin, Isabelle; Nogay, Gizem; Kabacelik, Ismail; Mics, Zoltan; Bonn, Mischa; Turchinovich, Dmitry; Toffoli, Hande; Toffoli, Daniele; Friedrich, David; Schmidt, Bernd; Heinig, Karl-Heinz; Turan, Raşit (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-01) Multiscale self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature but its deliberate use to synthesize multifunctional three-dimensional materials remains rare, partly due to the notoriously difficult problem of controlling topology from atomic to macroscopic scales to obtain intended material properties. Here, we propose a simple, modular, noncolloidal methodology that is based on exploiting universality in stochastic growth dynamics and driving the growth process under far-from-equilibrium conditions toward a preplanned s...
Development of functionally graded aluminum matrix composite materials for defense industry applications Yılmaz, Taha; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are advanced class of composite materials that have a gradual change in composition and structure over the entire material and many different properties can be obtained by altering the structure. Therefore, they have many different application areas. This study aims to develop functionally graded aluminum matrix composite materials for defense applications. Firstly, porous ceramic pellets and preforms, made of alumina (Al2O3) and olivine ((Mg,Fe)SiO4), were produced with...
Adsorption of gold atoms on anatase TiO2 (100)-1x1 surface Vural, Kıvılcım Başak; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi; Department of Physics (2009) In this work the electronic and structural properties of anatase TiO2 (100) surface and gold adsorption have been investigated by using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). TiO2 is a wide band-gap material and to this effects it finds numerous applications in technology such as, cleaning of water, self-cleaning, coating, solar cells and so on. Primarily, the relation between the surface energy of the anatase (100)-1x1 phase and the TiO2-layers is examined. After an app...
Singularly perturbed diffusion-advection-reaction processes on extremely large three-dimensional curvilinear networks with a periodic microstructure -- efficient solution strategies based on homogenization theory Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-8) Boundary value problems on large periodic networks arise in many applications such as soil mechanics in geophysics or the analysis of photonic crystals in nanotechnology. As a model example, singularly perturbed elliptic differential equations of second order are addressed. Typically, the length of periodicity is very small compared to the size of the covered region. The overall complexity of the networks raises serious problems on the computational side. The high density of the graph, the huge number of ed...
