Ability to control density of high mobility charge carriers on graphene provides a unique platform to control electromagnetic waves in a broad spectrum. In this work, we demonstrate a terahertz intensity modulator using a graphene supercapacitor which consists of two large area graphene electrodes and electrolyte medium. This simple device structure enables us to modulate THz waves in a broad spectrum without any metallic gate electrodes. The mutual electrolyte gating between the graphene electrodes provides a very efficient electrostatic doping with Fermi energies of 1 eV. We show that, the graphene supercapacitor yield more than 50% modulation between 0.1 to 1.4 THz with operation voltages less than 3V. The low insertion losses, the simplicity of the device structure and polarization independent device performance are the key attributes of graphene supercapacitors for THz applications.

Characterization of Multilayered Conductive Films Produced by Multiple Transfer Printing Graphene onto Ultra-Thin PVC Foil Inkaya, Uğur; Çelik, Kübra; Oral, Ahmet (null; 2017-11-30) Having high charge carrier mobility and superior elastic properties, graphene is a very suitable material for flexible electronics. However, it is usually desired to remove and prevent unintentional doping due to wet processes used for transfer printing of graphene. Although it does not produce a graphene film as smooth as an exfoliated graphene sheet transferred onto SiO2/Si wafer, dry transfer of graphene could be favored for applications that do not require very high charge carrier mobility. In addition,...
Electrically controlled terahertz spatial light modulators with graphene arrays Kakenov, Nurbek; Takan, Taylan; Özkan, Vedat Ali; Balci, Osman; Polat, Emre O.; Altan, Hakan; KOCABAŞ, COŞKUN (2016-05-27) Gate-tunable high-mobility electrons on atomically thin graphene layers provide a unique opportunity to control electromagnetic waves in a very broad spectrum. In this paper, we describe an electrically-controlled multipixel terahertz light modulators. The spatial light modulator is fabricated using two large-area graphene layers grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred on THz transparent and flexible substrates. Room temperature ionic liquid, inserted between the graphene, provides mutual gating ...
Graphene Based Flexible Hall Sensors İnkaya, Uğur Yiğit; Oral, Ahmet; Department of Physics (2021-9-09) Graphene is a two-dimensional material that has electronic properties such as having low density of charge carriers with high mobility, which are ideal for fabricating Hall sensors. Also considering its elastic properties, it is a promising material for flexible electronics including flexible Hall sensorics. Graphene was synthesized via atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on 20μm-thick copper by using methane as carbon feedstock. CVD-graphene was transferred onto EVA-coated PET film via lam...
Modification of TiO2 and NiO charge selective mesoporous layers using excessive Y and Li additions for carbon based perovskite solar cells Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2021-09-15) Carbon based perovskite solar cells are rapidly emerging as promising photovoltaic devices, combining low cost production and prolonged device operation, due to the exclusion of polymeric conductors and integration of highly durable metal oxide charge selective layers. Modification of metal oxide mesoporous layers via element additions and enhancement of electrical conductivity is a major strategy for reduced internal resistances inside the cell. This work investigates the effect of excessive Y and Li addit...
Powering-up Wireless Sensor Nodes Utilizing Rechargeable Batteries and an Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvesting System Chamanian, Salar; Baghaee, Sajjad; Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk; Uysal, Elif (2014-10-01) This paper presents a wireless sensor node (WSN) system where an electromagnetic (EM) energy harvester is utilized for charging its rechargeable batteries while the system is operational. The capability and the performance of an in-house low-frequency EM energy harvester for charging rechargeable NiMH batteries were experimentally verified in comparison to a regular battery charger. Furthermore, the power consumption of MicaZ motes, used as the WSN, was evaluated in detail for different operation conditions...
