© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbHVanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films are greatly favorable materials for optoelectronic applications due to their broad optical bandgap and considerable thermal and chemical stability. Herein, the influence of thermal treatment on the microstructure related to the nonlinear optical, optical limiting, and phase transition behaviors of V2O5 thin films produced via ultrasonic spray deposition method onto FTO/glass substrates is systematically examined by Z-scan experiments. Homogenous and crack-free V2O5 thin films with nanorod morphology are obtained after thermal treatment. OA Z-scan results indicate that the whole V2O5 thin films exhibit defect-assisted nonlinear absorption behavior, and annealing at 450 °C increases the nonlinear absorption and optical limiting behavior. Higher annealing temperatures, in contrast, lead to a decrease in these behaviors. CA Z-scan trace shows that the sign of nonlinear refractive index inverted by thermal process. The phase transition is associated with crystalline V2O5 thin films via thermal process. V2O5 thin films annealed at 450 °C are promising optical limiters within the 500–700 nm visible range due to their high linear transmittance (> 80%) and low optical limiting threshold.

SURFACE TREATMENT OF POLYPROPYLENE USING A CAPACITIVELY COUPLED PLASMA SYSTEM Mecit, Giray; Yedierler, Burak; Department of Physics (2022-2-11) Gaseous plasmas are suitable for various applications in material science, including but not limited to thin film productions and coatings, tailoring the surface properties of polymers. This study aims to characterize a capacitively coupled plasma system utilized in material processing applications. The system utilizes a 13.56 MHz radio frequency source to produce gaseous plasmas. The correlation between the produced plasmas and the surface physical and surface chemical properties of polypropylene treated b...
Thermal degradation of polythiophene-natural rubber and polythiophene-synthetic rubber conducting polymer composites Hacaloğlu, Jale; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (1997-01-01) Thermal degradation of conducting polymer composites of polythiophene and rubbers was studied by direct and indirect pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The samples were prepared by electrooxidation of polythiophene using natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the insulating matrix. Presence of decomposition products which were not observed during pyrolysis of pure polythiophene and rubbers, and disappearance of rubber-based pyrolysis mass peaks, together with changes in thermal stability and behaviour, ...
Polylactide/organically modified montmorillonite composites; effects of organic modifier on thermal characteristics Ozdemir, Esra; Öztürk, Yurdagül; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2016-12-01) The effects of interspace distance and the possible chemical interactions between PLA and the organic modifier of montmorillonites, Cloisite 15A, 20A and 30B on thermal degradation of PLA in the absence and presence of water vapor were investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry, (DP-MS) in addition to XRD, TEM, DSC, TGA analyses. The DP-MS results clearly showed that the way in which the polymer was incorporated into the nanocomposite strongly depends on the mixing technique, the interspacing betwee...
Electroluminescence properties of a PIN structure made by nearly stoichiometric a-SiCx:H active layer SEL, KIVANÇ; Akaoglu, Baris; ÖZDEMİR, Orhan; Atilgan, Ismail (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01) a-SiCx:H PIN diode has been fabricated within a single pump-down process under the same deposition conditions used for doped and undoped PECVD grown thin films, whose optical and electrical properties are determined and compared with a-Si:H. Current-voltage characteristics of PIN diode are evaluated and concluded to be limited by tunnelling of holes at p-i interface into valence band tail states. Electroluminescence measurements revealed radiative monomolecular recombinations. Deconvolution of the luminesce...
Photopatterning of PMMA Films with Gold Nanoparticles: Diffusion of AuCl4- Ions Yilmaz, Eda; Ertaş, Gülay; Bengu, Erman; Suzer, Sefik (2010-11-04) Photopatterning of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films is performed by UV irradiation of the polymer films containing uniformly distributed AuCl4- ions. The process reduces the gold ions and leads to production of Au nanoparticles in the irradiated regions at room temperature (RT). Resulting films are investigated with scanning electron microscopy, which revealed, in addition to regions with gold nanoparticles, the presence of "ion-depleted regions". These regions are formed at RI and within the rigid po...
