Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystal was grown by Czochralski method and investigated mechanically by nano-indentation measurements. X-ray diffraction pattern of the crystal presented one intensive peak around 37.95 degrees associated with (330) plane of cubic crystalline structure. Nanoindentation experiments were performed at various loads between 5 and 100 mN. Hardness and Young's modulus of the crystal were determined by Oliver-Pharr method. The hardness-load dependency exhibited behavior of indentation size effect. True hardness value of BTO crystal was revealed as 4.4 GPa. Young's modulus decreased with increase of load and load-independent Young's modulus was found around 93 GPa at high loads. The load-dependent elastic and plastic deformation components were calculated and it was observed that the dominant component in BTO single crystal is plastic deformation at the applied loads. The present paper reports for the first time the mechanical characteristics of the BTO single crystal by carrying out nanoindentation experiments.

Determination of deep trapping center parameters in as-grown Tl2Ga2S3Se layered crystals
YILDIRIM, TACETTİN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-01)
Thermally stimulated current measurements were carried out on as-grown Tl2Ga2S3Se layered single crystals. The investigations were performed in temperatures ranging from 10 to 320 K with heating rates of 0.6-1.2 K s(-1). The analysis of the data revealed the hole trap level located at 498 meV. The activation energies of the traps have been determined using various methods of analysis, and they agree with each other. The calculation for these traps yielded 2.1 x 10(-18) cm(2) for capture cross-section and 2....
Characterization of one-step deposited Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films derived from a single crystalline powder
Peksu, Elif; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Parlak, Mehmet; Karaağaç, Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01)
In this paper, Cu-deficient and Zn-rich Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) single crystals were successfully grown by Bridgman technique. Following the investigation of structural and photo-electrical properties of the grown CZTS crystal, the powder extracted from it was evaporated through electron-beam technique for the fabrication of CZTS thin films by one-step deposition. Compositional analysis revealed that CZTS thin films were obtained with a composition stoichiometry very close to that measured for the crystal powder. ...
Evaluation of mechanical properties of Bi12SiO20 sillenite using first principles and nanoindentation
Isik, M.; Sürücü, Gökhan; Gencer, A.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2021-08-01)
The mechanical and anisotropic elastic properties of Bi12SiO20 (BSO) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and nanoindentation. The calculated and experimentally observed XRD patterns of the compound were reported and the crystal structure of the BSO was determined to be cubic with the lattice constant of a = 1.025 nm. The second-order elastic constants and related polycrystalline elastic moduli (e.g. shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, linear compressibility and ...
Determination of trapping center parameters in Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals by thermally stimulated current measurements
Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2009-07-01)
As-grown Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals were studied by thermally stimulated current measurements in the temperature range of 10-170K with different heating rates. Experimental data were analyzed according to various methods such as curve fitting and initial rise. The analysis of thermally stimulated current spectra registered at light excitation temperature T-0 = 10K revealed the trap level located at 30 meV. Attempt-to-escape frequency, concentration and capture cross section of the traps were determi...
Preparation and characterization of zeolite beta-polyurethane composite membranes
Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Akata, Burcu; Bac, Nurcan; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2007-06-05)
Incorporation of zeolite into polyurethane (PU) membranes was investigated by using as-synthesized and calcined zeolite beta particles at two different loading contents (0.1 and 1 wt %). The chemical interaction between the zeolite beta crystals and PU was observed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The SEM results suggested that the calcined zeolite beta crystals were more homogeneously dispersed in the composite membranes than the assynthesized zeolite beta crystals. DMA results demonstrated that all composite mem...
