The metal complexes (Ru-II (phen)(2)(phendione))(PF6)(2)(1), [Ru-II (phen)(bpy)(phendione))(PF6)(2) (2), and (Ru-II (bpy)(2)(phendione))(PF6)(2) (3) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and phendione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) have been synthesized as photo sensitizers for ZnO semiconductor in solar cells. FT-IR and absorption spectra showed the favorable interfacial binding between the dye-molecules and ZnO surface. The surface analysis and size of adsorbed dye on nanostructure ZnO were further examined with AFM and SEM. The AFM images clearly show both, the outgrowth of the complexes which are adsorbed on ZnO thin film and the depression of ZnO thin film. We have studied photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor solar cells based on Ru phendione complexes, which gave power conversion efficiency of (eta) of 1.54% under the standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 m W cm(-2)) with a short-circuit photocurrent density (J(sc)) of 3.42 mA cm(-2), an open-circuit photovoltage (V-oc) of 0.622V, and a fill factor (ff) of 0.72. Monochromatic incident photon to current conversion efficiency was 38% at 485 nm.

Numerical and experimental investigation of fatigue life in deep drawn parts Aytekin, Oğuz; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Sheet metal forming has an important place among metal forming processes. As the usage of sheet metal increases, the fatigue simulation and optimization of these parts become more important. This thesis study examines the change of the fatigue life of a sheet metal part after forming. A sphere-like shape is deep drawn and change in thickness and residual stresses are analyzed. To understand the effect of residual stresses, deep drawn parts with and without residual stress tested against the fatigue failure....
Experimental and numerical investigation of sheet metal hydroforming (flexforming) process Hatipoğlu, Hasan Ali; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Sheet metal hydroforming(flexforming) is a process generally used in the manufacturing of aerospace parts in which a rubber diaphragm forms the sheet on a die with the help pressurized fluid and by this aspect it is different from the conventional stamping process. Some defects occur in the parts that are manufactured by this method and they are not different from the general sheet metal forming defects. Wrinkling, tearing and springback are among those defects. Variety of parts makes difficult to encounter...
Hydrothermal vents as a kinetically stable source of iron-sulphide-bearing nanoparticles to the ocean Yücel, Mustafa; Chan, Clara S.; Luther, George W. (2011-06-01) Hydrothermal vents emit sulphur and metals to the ocean(1). Particular attention has been paid to hydrothermal fluxes of iron(2-4), a limiting micronutrient of marine primary production(5). Vent-derived iron was previously thought to rapidly oxidize and precipitate around vents(6). However, organic matter can bind to and stabilize dissolved and particulate iron in hydrothermal plumes(7-9), facilitating its dispersion into the open ocean(10). Here, we report measurements of the chemical speciation of sulphid...
Electronic properties of dye molecules adsorbed on anatase-titania surface for solar cell applications Torun, Engin; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2009) Wide band gap metal oxides have recently become one of the most investigated materials in surface science. Among these metal oxides especially TiO2 attracts great interest, because of its wide range applications, low cost, biocompatibility and ease of analysis by all experimental techniques. The usage of TiO2 as a component in solar cell technology is one of the most investigated applications of TiO2 . The wide band gap of TiO2 renders it ine cient for isolated use in solar cells. TiO2 surface are therefore...
Electron transport in p-wave superconductor-normal metal junctions Keleş, Ahmet; Spivak, B. Z. (2014-01-01) We study low-temperature electron transport in p-wave superconductor-insulator-normal metal junctions. In diffusive metals, the p-wave component of the order parameter is strongly suppressed at distances greater than the mean free path l. At the superconductor-normal metal boundary, due to spin-orbit interaction, there is a triplet to singlet conversion of the superconducting order parameter. The singlet component survives at distances much larger than l from the boundary. It is this component that controls...
