This study investigated the mechanical behavior of ZrxTa1−x (x = 21–79 at%) thin films and nanolayered films of ZrTa with modulated composition as model systems to gain insight into the hardness and toughness of metallic glasses and metallic glass nanocomposites. The monolithic films exhibit two primary microstructures, namely, a fully amorphous form (Zr = 35–70at%.) and an amorphous-crystalline composite (21–30 at% Zr). The amorphous films show a monotonic hardness variation with composition over a wide range of 5.5 – 9 GPa. The partial crystallization of the films results in a further jump in hardness, as opposed to the general trend of softening upon crystallization. The emergence of the crystalline phase also improves the ductility of the films, as verified by nanoindentation-based fracture toughness measurements. The indentation pile-up exhibits several shear bands in the fully amorphous films, replaced by a featureless pile-up zone for the case of Zr25Ta75, further verifying the superior toughness of the composite. The second part of the analysis pursued obtaining a similar toughening through fully amorphous nanolayered films of Zr35Ta65 / Zr70Ta30. The results indicate that these films provide a balanced combination of high hardness and enhanced ductility, providing an alternative route to the development of tough metallic glass coatings. Data Availability: The raw/processed data required to reproduce these findings cannot be shared at this time as the data also forms part of an ongoing study.

Development of Nanostructured Metallic Glasses with High Toughness Bagheri Behboud, Ali; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8) Metallic glasses are metallic alloys with disordered atomic structures and desirable mechanical properties such as high hardness, high elastic limits, and wear resistance. These properties make metallic glasses promising materials for wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible coating applications. On the other hand, metallic glasses are brittle, which is a major disadvantage for their use in practice. This thesis study aimed to tackle this problem through the development of nanostructured metal...
Numerical and experimental investigation on laser damage threshold of highly reflective multilayer thin films Ocak, Mustafa; Sert, Cüneyt; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) The laser induced temperature distributions on the optical thin films are investigated in this study. Effects of optical design modifications on thermal performance of highly reflective (HR) multilayer thin films are analyzed. Firstly, a conventional 19 layer HR coating is selected as a reference and the laser induced temperature distribution is evaluated on it. Then, alternative HR designs are developed by employing non-quarter wave layers, over coat (OC) layers and two high index materials in the coating ...
Sol-Gel processing of organically modified ITO thin films and characterization of their optoelectronic and microstructural properties Kesim, Mehmet Tümerkan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were formed on glass substrates by sol-gel method. Coating sols were prepared using indium chloride tetrahydrate (InCl3•4H2O) and tin-chloride pentahydrate (SnCl4•5H2O) stabilized in organic solvents (acetylacetone and ethanol). First attempt was to synthesize ITO thin films using standard/unmodified coating sols. The effect of calcination treatment in air (300 – 600 °C) and number of coating layer(s) (1, 4, 7 or 10) on optoelectronic properties (electrical conductivity and...
Microporous vanadosilicate films with tailorable V4+/V5+ ratio to achieve enhanced visible-light photocatalysis Kuzyaka, Duygu; Uzun, Ceren; Yıldız, İlker; Kaya, Murat; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2021-08-01) This study investigates the changes induced into the photocatalytic activity under solar light irradiation upon changing the structural film properties and tailor the concentration of defects in microporous vanadosilicate AM-6 films. For this purpose, the preparation of AM-6 films with different V4+/V5+ ratios and their utilization as photocatalysts for the decomposition of MB were carried out. Two approaches were used for obtaining AM-6 films with different V4+/V5+ ratios: altering the seed layer coating t...
Nano-scale phase separation and glass forming ability of iron-boron based metallic glasses Aykol, Muratahan; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) This study is pertinent to setting a connection between glass forming ability (GFA) and topology of Fe-B based metallic glasses by combining intimate investigations on spatial atomic arrangements conducted via solid computer simulations with experimentations on high GFA bulk metallic glasses. In order to construct a theoretical framework, the nano-scale phase separation encountered in metallic glasses is investigated for amorphous Fe80B20 and Fe83B17 alloys via Monte Carlo equilibration and reverse Monte Ca...
