We describe a study of the magneto-optical properties of Ag+-doped CdSe colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) that were grown using a novel doping technique. In this work, we used magnetic circularly polarized luminescence and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy to study light-induced magnetism for the first time in 2D solution-processed structures doped with nominally nonmagnetic Ag+ impurities. The excitonic circular polarization (P-X) and the exciton Zeeman splitting (Delta E-Z) were recorded as a function of the magnetic field (B) and temperature (T). Both Delta E-Z and P-X have a Brillouin-function-like dependence on B and T, verifying the presence of paramagnetism in Ag+-doped CdSe NPLs. The observed light-induced magnetism is attributed to the transformation of nonmagnetic Ag+ ions into Ag2+, which have a nonzero magnetic moment. This work points to the possibility of incorporating these nanoplatelets into spintronic devices, in which light can be used to control the spin injection.

Effect of thermal neutron irradiation in boron-doped melt-textured YBCO superconductors
Topal, U; Dorosinskii, L; Ozkan, H; Yavuz, H (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-01)
Y1.6Ba2.3Cu3.3Ox superconductors with different amounts of boron doping have been synthesized using the MPMG technique. Undoped and boron-doped samples were irradiated with thermal neutrons to study the effect of defects produced by the fission reaction, B(n,alpha)Li, on the pinning and the critical current. We observed that the pinning and the critical current density were improved as a result of thermal neutron irradiation. This improvement was slightly stronger for the boron-doped samples compared to the...
Nano calcium phosphates doped with titanium and fluoride ions: sinterability and stability of phases
Güngör Geridönmez, Serap; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012)
The purpose of this study was to synthesize calcium phosphates doped with titanium and fluoride ions in different combinations. Pure and doped calcium phosphates were synthesized by a precipitation method. The synthesized materials were sintered at 1100ºC and 1300ºC for 1h. The ceramics were characterized by density measurements to determine the effect of sintering temperature. Presence of phases and bonds were characterized by XRD diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. Grain sizes of the samples were obtained ...
A Study on development of machinable calcium phosphate based bio-composites with zirconia, boron oxide and lanthanum oxide
Khoshsima, Sina; Evis, Zafer; Özgül, Metin; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015)
The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure, mechanical and biological properties of pure hydroxyapatite and composites of hydroxyapatite with zirconia, boron oxide and lanthanum oxide. Hydroxyapatite was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100°C for 1 h. It was observed that relative density of the sintered composites including zirconia was increased while the density of composites including boron oxide decreased. For physical and structural analysis, X-ray diffraction, sc...
Kinetic analysis of arginine, glycine and valine on methane (95%)–propane (5%) hydrate formation
Longinos, Sotirios Nik.; Parlaktuna, Mahmut (2021-01-01)
The motivation for this study was the potential of arginine, glycine and valine to be examined as promoter or inhibitor on methane (95%)–propane (5%) hydrate formation and the examination of which flow is better for hydrate formation. The experimental outcomes indicated that glycine can be used as inhibitor while valine and arginine can be used as promoters. Rushton turbine experiments had higher values in rates of hydrate formation compared to pitched blade turbines with percentage difference of 4.3% and 4...
Microstructure, microhardness, and biocompatibility characteristics of yttrium hydroxyapatite doped with fluoride
Toker, S. M.; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer (Wiley, 2011-02-01)
The current study focused on doping of hydroxyapatite (HA) with constant yttrium (Y3+) and varying fluoride (F-) compositions to investigate its microstructure, microhardness, and biocompatibility. HA was synthesized by precipitation method and sintered at 1100 degrees C for 1 h. Y3+ and F- ion dopings resulted in changes in densities. In x-ray diffraction analysis, no secondary phase formation was observed. Lattice parameters decreased upon ion substitutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show...
