The microbolometer technology has proved its potential in the Infrared (IR) region due to its low fabrication costs, and room temperature operation, making this technology desirable to be used in various applications, and this interest has recently expanded into the Terahertz (THz) region as well. The detection in microbolometers is achieved through the absorption of THz radiation which subsequently heats up and is sensed by the temperature sensitive material at the core of the device. This temperature sensitive material is typically based on VOx, which exhibits a sufficient change in resistance with temperature. While this temperature sensitive material is useful in the IR, the low energy of the THz wave compared to the background radiation makes it a challenge to operate the device at room temperature and show a large change in resistance with respect to the slight change in temperature. Metal doped VOx films can show a better performance however these effects are not well understood in the THz region. In this study, Tungsten (W) doped and undoped VOx films are fabricated and then analyzed using Time Domain THz Spectroscopy. The DC electrical properties of the films as well as their optical behaviors in the region of 0.2-2.0 THz are analyzed as a function of temperature. The metal doping is seen to affect the overall electrical and optical response of the film. Understanding this dependence is key to achieving a better film for applications in the THz region.

Investigation of flow and heat transfer behavior of integrated pin fin-aluminum foam heat sink ŞAHİN, Yiğit Serkan; TOPRAK, Beytullah İsmet; SOLMAZ, İsmail; Bayer, Özgür (2023-01-01) With the rapid development in the electronics industry, the thermal management of high power density elec-tronic products (HPDEPs) has become very important and requires innovative heat removal technologies. In this study, an integrated heat sink (IHS) fabricated by combining aluminum foam and pin-finned heat sink config-urations that are frequently used in the cooling of electronic products has been proposed as an effective solution for the thermal management of HPDEPs. The heat removal and pressure drop c...
Strain induction on GE nanobeams by electrostatic actuation Ayan, Arman; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Germanium (Ge) is one of the most promising materials to accomplish the monolithic integration of optics and electronics on the same chip, mainly due to its compatibility with the existing silicon (Si) technology, high charge carrier mobility and high absorption coefficient in the near-infrared region. However, realization of efficient Ge light emitters requires techniques such as tensile strain induction, tin (Sn) incorporation and/or heavy n-type doping to alter its band gap enabling direct transitions. A...
Investigation of Nanostructured Surfaces for Thermophotovoltaic Applications Atak, Eslem Enis; Baker, Derek Keith; Okutucu Özyurt, Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9) Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices convert thermal radiation into electricity by using a thermal emitter and a photovoltaic (PV) cell. TPV systems can utilize variety of heat sources, which makes them suitable for harvesting waste heat. The downside of current TPV technology is its low efficiency due to the spectral mismatch between thermal emission of the emitter and the bandgap of the cell. In this thesis, the effect of nanostructures on radiative properties is studied in order to develop efficient TPV emit...
IMPLEMENTATION OF STRONG LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTION FOR FABRICATION AND LIGHT MANAGEMENT OF THIN CRYSTAL SILICON SOLAR CELLS Zolfaghari Borra, Mona; Bek, Alpan; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-7-29) The integration of photonic components with electrical elements on the same silicon chip may lead to the development of new technologies. One limitation is the space available on the wafer surface, which is restricted. Currently, conventional fabrication techniques produce devices only on the top thin layer of the wafer surface. As a result, new architectural designs are required. Producing functional components deep inside Si without creating damage to the surfaces is a potential technique for overcoming t...
Design, syntheses and structure-property relationships of benzazole and isoindigo comprising conducting polymers/ Göker, Seza; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2019) Donor–acceptor (D–A) conjugated polymers have been widely used for potential applications such as organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, electrochromic devices and organic field effect transistors. Benzazole comprising conducting polymers are popular for the last few decades since they can be used as low-band-gap donor materials because of their strong intramolecular charge transfer characteristics and excellent photovoltaic performances. Strong electron-donating and withdrawing building blocks are nec...
