A transmission electron microscopy examination of hydrothermally produced carbon nanofibres/nanotubes with outer diameter 50-200 nm suggests that the tube walls are inclined with respect to the tube axis. The apex angles are in the range 8degrees- 16degrees. The structure of these tubes and their growth mechanism can be described by a conical-scroll model. The conical-scroll structure enables functionalization of both inner and outer tube surfaces. The outer wall of these nanofibres is shown to be covered by a hair-like layer, with a characteristic length of about 0.5 nm. Electron energy loss spectroscopy suggests that these 'hairs' are functional groups containing oxygen and carbon. The presence of these groups on the tube surface can account for the reported hydrophilic character of these tubes.

Structural, electronic and mechanical properties of W1-xTcxB2 alloys Sürücü, Gökhan; Colakoglu, K.; Deligoz, E.; ÇİFTCİ, YASEMİN (2013-10-01) A detailed theoretical study of the structural, elastic and electronic properties of W1-xTcxB2 (x=0.1 similar to 0.9) alloys is carried out by using the plane-wave pseudopotential approach to the density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The most stable structure is found as W0.9Tc0.1B2 due to the lowest formation energy value and Band filling theory. Furthermore, the band structural and density of states (DOS) are computed for each composition x (0.1 similar to 0.9). Th...
Grain-Scale Investigations of Deformation Heterogeneities in Aluminum Alloys GÜLER, BARAN; Simsek, Ulke; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; EFE, MERT (2018-04-25) The an isotropic deformation of Aluminum alloys at micron scale exhibits localized deformation, which has negative implications on the macroscale mechanical and forming behavior. The scope of this work is twofold. Firstly, micro-scale deformation heterogeneities affecting forming behavior of aluminum alloys is investigated through experimental microstructure analysis at large strains and various strain paths. The effects of initial texture, local grain misorientation, and strain paths on the strain localiza...
Electronic and structural properties of armchair SWCNT/TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) system Tayran, C.; ÇAKMAK, MELEK; Elliatioglu, S. (Elsevier BV, 2011-03-01) We have presented structural and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with armchair chirality on the reconstructed rutile TiO2(110)-(1 x 2) surface by means of ab initio calculations using density functional theory. For the TiO2 surface reconstruction, we have adopted an added-row model which was experimentally proposed in parallel to STM patterns and theoretically agreed by first principle calculations. In this work, we have studied, as examples, two CNTs with different sizes, (3,...
Pipe flow of a magnetizable fluid in rectangular cavities under magnetic sources Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2017-10-01) In this paper, the fully developed flow of an electrically non-conducting, viscous, incompressible, magnetizable fluid is investigated in rectangular pipes with square or rectangular cross-sections under the effect of spatially varying magnetic field. Magnetic field is generated by multiple wires carrying electric current that pass below and above along the pipe. Thus, the problem is reduced to the 2D flow of a magnetizable fluid in the cross-section of the pipe (cavity). Governing equations are solved in t...
Structural, electrical and optical characterization of ge-implanted gase single crystal grown by Bridgman Method Karaağaç, Hazbullah; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Department of Physics (2005) In this work, structural, electrical and optical characterization of as-grown, Ge-implanted, and annealed GaSe single crystals grown by using 3-zone vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger system, have been studied by carrying out X-ray Diffraction (XRD), electrical conductivity, Hall effect, photoconductivity, and spectral transmission measurements. The temperature dependent electrical conductivity of these samples have been measured between 100 and 400 K. As a result, it was observed that upon implanting GaSe with ...
