A systematic study based on self-consistent dynamical simulations is presented for the morphological evolutionary behavior of an isolated thin Ge/Si nanoisland (quantum dot) on a rigid substrate exposed to electromigration forces. This morphological evolution is basically induced by the anisotropic surface drift diffusion, driven by the capillary forces, the lattice mismatch stresses, and the wetting potential. In this study, we have mainly focused on the size and shape development kinetics of quantum dots, known as the "Stranski-Krastanov " (SK) morphology, influenced by applied electromigration stresses. Emphasis is given to the effects of rotational symmetry associated with the anisotropic diffusivity in 2D space (i.e., quantum wires in 3D). The pointed bullet-shaped "Stranski-Krastanov " islands with high aspect ratios, xi = 0.77, are formed at the cathode edge, while the whole nanoisland slightly creeps out of the initial computational domain. The favorable configuration of the Ge-20/Si-80 alloy test module, which resulted in zeta = 0.37 enhancement in the contour surface area, has a dome shape attached to the [010] top surface of the Si substrate with a zone axis of {010}/ & lang; 001 & rang;. The anisotropic surface diffusion dyadic has a fourfold rotational symmetry axis [001] lying on the (001) plane of the Si substrate, and its major axis is tilted at about phi = 45 & DEG; from the applied electrostatic field extended along the longitudinal axis [100] of the substrate. This particular experiment resulted in a SK singlet peak with a small satellite with a very small aspect ratio of approximately equal to 0.2 that may be appropriate for the conception of quantum optoelectronic devices or inter-band structures to generate photoelectrons having large energy spectra, thereby increasing the efficiency of photovoltaics exposed to solar radiations.

Effects of anisotropy of ferrite coating on the radiation characteristics of a cylindrical conductor excited by elementary sources Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 1998-01-01) In this paper, radiation characteristics of an arbitrarily oriented source in an anisotropic multilayered cylindrical structure are investigated by using the state transition matrix approach. Full wave transversal field equations in spectral domain are derived for anisotropic medium in cylindrical coordinates. These expressions are formed into a set of linear first order differential equations. The solution at each layer is expressed in terms of the state transition matrices which are evaluated numerically....
Effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the crystallization behaviour of polyamide-6 nanocomposites Kaynak, Cevdet (2014-04-01) The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the (1) isothermal and (2) non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide-6 by DSC analyses, and (3) crystal structure of injection molded specimens by XRD analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded by using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Due to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, both increasing amount and surface functionalization of carbon nanot...
EFFECT OF FEED COMPOSITION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF POLYMER-ZEOLITE MIXED MATRIX GAS SEPARATION MEMBRANES BATTAL, T; BAC, N; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 1995-01-01) An emerging membrane morphology with future potential is mixed matrix membranes composed of two interpenetrating matrices of different materials. In this study, mixed matrix membranes of an amorphous glassy polymer(polyethersulfone) and hydrophilic zeolite (4A) were prepared. An elaborate membrane preparation technique that enables incorporation of high zeolite loading into the membrane was developed. Performance of membranes was tested by using a laboratory-scale gas separation apparatus. The permeation ra...
Effect of gramicidin S on the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol thermotropic phase transition in DPPG/GS systems: A mathematical approach Stan, Cristina; Cristescu, C. P.; Severcan, Feride; Dorohoi, Dana (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01) We present a mathematical approach to the experimental data recorded via Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy regarding the influence of the concentration of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S (GS) on the thermotropic phase transition of the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol (DPPG) lipid bilayer membrane in DPPG/GS systems. The model is based on the influence of the GS concentration on the parameters of a nonlinear damped oscillator, which models the CH2 symmetric stretching band.
Effects of Substrate Parameters on the Resonance Frequency of Double-sided SRR Structures under Two Different Excitations Ekmekci, E.; Averitt, R. D.; Sayan, Gönül (2010-07-08) In this study, we numerically investigate the effects of substrate parameters (i.e., the thickness and the permittivity) on the resonance frequency of the double-sided SRR (DSRR) structure under two different excitation conditions. This includes either electric or magnetic excitations which are two common techniques to obtain a resonant effective permittivity or permeability, respectively. The numerical calculations are performed using CST Microwave Studio. The numerical results reveal a similar trend in th...
