Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19, BaHF) is an important magnetic material due to its effective electromagnetic wave absorbing characteristics. The most convenient way of producing BaHF ceramics is mixed oxide method in which BaHF powders are synthesized from Fe2O3 and BaCO3 starting materials by the action of heat. The calcination process is typically conducted by conventional heating under ambient atmosphere. However, microwave heating can be a good alternative for the calcination of BaHF ceramics as it provides more homogeneous and faster heating. In this study, the effect of microwave heating on the reaction kinetics and morphology of the BaHF was investigated. When the time and temperature of the calcination is fixed, it is expected that BaHF conversion would be higher as microwave heating is thought to trigger atomic processes different than those activated by conventional heating. In this study, the effect of calcination temperature and heating type on the reaction kinetics and morphology of the BaHF powders was investigated using SEM, XRD and VSM analyses in comparison to conventional heating. The results showed that when the temperature is kept constant, 100% BaHF transformation can be achieved in a shorter time period when microwave heating is applied instead of conventional heating.

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes by a plasma based pulsed electron beam generator
Goktas, H.; Ayhan, U. B.; Gündüz, Güngör; Disbudak, H.; Eryilmaz, E.; Oke, G.; Cicek, B.; Somer, M. (IOP Publishing, 2006-01-01)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by using a plasma based electron beam generator, which has a fast filamentary discharge formed from the superposition of an ordinary low-pressure dc glow and a high-current pulsed discharge. To our knowledge, CNTs are synthesized for the first time by this method. Acetylene was used as the carbon source and the iron catalyst coated silica substrates were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The silica plates were first coated with an appropriate iron (III) nitrate solu...

Altıntaş Yıldırım, Özlem; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have attracted considerable attention in many electrical, optoelectronic and magnetic applications due to their unique properties originating form characteristic wide band gap and large exciton binding energy of ZnO. Electrical, optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanostructures strongly depend on their size and morphology. Therefore, there has been a strong interest in the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures with well-controlled size and shape. These synthesis approaches shou...
Synthesis, characterization and investigation of thermoluinescence properties of strontium pyrophosphate doped with metals
İlkay, Levent Sait; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2009)
Strontium pyrophosphate is a promising phosphate that is used widely in the industry as a result of its luminescent, fluorescent, dielectric, semi-conductor, catalyst, magnetic and ion exchange properties. Thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) is one of such areas. Recent researches in METU on thermoluminescence property of strontium pyrophosphate showed that strontium pyrophosphate could give enough intensity for radiation dosimetry when doped with oxides of some rare-earth elements. In this study strontium py...
Development of hole transport transparent conductive electrodes for n-type crystalline silicon solar cells
Akdemir, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018)
Conventional transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) used in crystal silicon (c-Si) solar cells are commonly made of indium tin oxide (ITO) which provides low sheet resistance and high transparency. However, due to indium scarcity, ITO layers increase the fabrication cost; thus, alternative TCEs, such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), zinc oxide (ZnO), metal nanowires and Oxide/Metal/Oxide (OMO) multilayers, are being investigated. Conventional solar cells also make use of doped layers, to create the junc...
