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 lamination. By using the resultant graphene/EVA/PET laminate, we manufactured Hall devices. We characterized the devices by measuring their Hall sensitivity. The devices showed mostly linear sensor response with sensitivity of up to 1200 Ω/T. Also we studied graphene-based multilayered conductive films on EVA/PET by using Hall devices for the electronic characterization. The films were made via layer-by-layer transfer-printing graphene onto EVA/PET. Further characterization was performed by van der Pauw measurements. It revealed mobilities around 1000 cm2/(Vs) and the hole density increasing almost linearly with the number of laminations performed to make the film. The surface topography of the films were studied via atomic force microscopy. Finally we performed Joule heating experiments that showed the surface temperature of the film can be increased up to ~100°C.

Nano and micro Hall-effect sensors for room-temperature scanning hall probe microscopy SANDHU, A; OKAMOTO, A; SHİBASAKİ, I; Oral, Ahmet (2004-06-01) GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas (GaAs-2DEG) Hall probes are impractical for sub-micron room-temperature scanning Hall microscopy (RT-SHPM), due to surface depletion effects that limit the Hall driving current and magnetic sensitivity (B in). Nano and micro Hall-effect sensors were fabricated using Bi and InSb thin films and shown to be practical alternatives to GaAs-2DEG probes for high resolution RT-SHPM. The GaAs-2DEG and InSb probes were fabricated using photolithography and the Bi probes by opt...
Single layer graphene Hall sensors for scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) in 3-300 K temperature range Sonusen, S.; KARCI, ÖZGÜR; DEDE, MUNIR; Aksoy, S.; Oral, Ahmet (2014-07-30) Graphene micro-Hall probes were developed for a scanning Hall probe microscope system and used for the direct magnetic imaging domains of demagnetized NdFeB permanent magnet for the first time. The Hall coefficient and minimum magnetic field resolution of graphene Hall probes at 1 kHz were found to be 0.18 Omega/G and 0.20 G/root Hz for a drive current of 3 mu A at room temperature in vacuum. The magnetic domains in NdFeB demagnetized magnet were observed at 300K, 126K and 3K successfully.
Graphene-based wideband metamaterial absorber for solar cells application Rufangura, Patrick; Sabah, Cumali (2017-07-01) A wideband metamaterial (MTM) absorber based on a concentric ring resonator is discussed at visible frequencies. The proposed structure offers a wideband absorption response, where absorption of >70% is gained for the frequency ranging from 537.91 to 635.73 THz. The analysis is conducted on the components of the proposed structure to understand the origin of wideband absorption. Furthermore, a graphene monolayer sheet is integrated to the proposed MTM absorber to optimize its absorptivity, where the studies...
Electrothermal Analysis of the Field-Plated AIGaN/GaN HEMTs with SiO2 Passivation Kara, Dogacan; AKGÜN, FATMA NAZLI DÖNMEZER (2017-09-01) AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are widely used in high frequency and power applications of the space and military industries due to their high RF power densities. When operated in full capacity, reliability of GaN HEMTs drop significantly due to device degradation, electron collapse phenomena, and concentrated heating effects. Although significant research has been done to investigate the effects of passivation, field-plates on the device degradation and the electron collapse separatel...
Coaxial Copper Nanowire Network Core—Polypyrrole Shell Nanocomposites as Supercapacitor Electrodes Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Durukan, Mete Batuhan (null; 2018-11-25) Metallic nanowires hold significant potential to be used in energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors due to their high surface area and electrical conductivity. Among metallic nanowires, silver nanowires so far dominated the literature due to their reproducible, controllable and large scale synthesis. Copper nanowires on the other hand are still at their infancy; but, hold strong promise to replace silver nanowires due to their comparable optoelectronic properties and low cost. In this ...
