PbMoO4 is one of the member of the molybdate materials and has been a significant research interest due to its photocatalytic and optoelectronic applications. In the present paper, the structural and optical properties of PbMoO4 single crystals grown by Czochralski technique were investigated. X-ray diffraction pattern presented well-defined and intensive peaks associated with tetragonal scheelite structure. Energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses presented the atomic compositional ratio of constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of PbMoO4. Raman and infrared transmittance spectra were reported to give information about the vibrational characteristics of the compound. Room temperature transmission spectrum was analyzed by derivative spectroscopy technique and band gap energy was found as 3.07 eV. Temperature-tuned band gap energy characteristics of the single crystal were investigated by performing transmission measurements at different temperatures between 10 and 300 K. The analyses indicated that band gap energy of the PbMoO4 single crystal increases to 3.24 eV when the temperature was decreased to 10 K. Temperature-band gap energy dependency was studied considering Varshni and Bose-Einstein models. The successful fitting processes under the light of applied models presented various optical parameters like absolute zero band gap energy, variation rate of band gap with temperature and Debye temperature.

Burçin, Başar; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2009)
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the structural, mechanical and biological properties of nano hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with yttrium and fluoride with different compositions. HAs were synthesized by precipitation method. After sintering at 900oC, 1100oC or 1300oC for 1 hour, the structural properties of HAs were investigated by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy and SEM. High relative densities (above 88 % of relative density) were achieved after sintering. No second phases were observed in XRD measurements. ...

Raman and infrared spectra of the grown single crystals were presented to get information about the vibrational characteristics. Observed Raman modes were associated with modes of PbMoO4 and PbWO4. Eight bands were revealed in the infrared spectrum. The bands ob...
Structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure
Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)
The structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure have been investigated qualitatively by performing semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital calculations at the level of the PM3 method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. Bamboo-like carbon nanostructures resemble zigzag carbon nanotubes capped with a plane graphine sheet.
