© 2022 Elsevier B.V.III–V semiconductors are extensively used in infrared sensor applications due to their superior structural and optical properties. Due to the extremes in the manufacturing and operating temperatures of the sensors, the knowledge of temperature-dependent elastic constants of these materials is of great importance. However, reliable measurements across a large range of temperatures prove difficult due to limitations of experimental setups. Density functional theory calculations present an affordable alternative. In this work, temperature-dependent elastic properties of InSb and GaSb are investigated using density functional theory within the quasiharmonic approximation. Calculated properties relevant for operation in a wide temperature range are presented including second order elastic constants, Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (μ), Poisson's ratio ν and the coefficient of thermal expansion (α). Our results are compared to available experimental values and good agreement is observed.

Analytical Fresnel imaging models for photon sieves Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M. (The Optical Society, 2018-11-21) Photon sieves are a fairly new class of diffractive lenses that open unprecedented possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at short wavelengths such as UV and x-rays. In this paper, we model and analyze the image formation process of photon sieves using Fourier optics. We derive closed-form Fresnel imaging models that relate an input object to the image formed by a photon sieve system, both for coherent and incoherent illumination. These analytical models also provide a closed...
Thermal Infrared Hyperspectral Dimension Reduction Experiment Results For Global And Local Information Based Linear Discriminant Analysis Sakarya, Ufuk (2015-05-19) Thermal infrared hyperspectral image processing has become an important research topic in remote sensing. One of the research topics in thermal infrared hyperspectral image classification is dimension reduction. In this paper, thermal infrared hyperspectral dimension reduction experiment results for global and local information based linear discriminant analysis is presented. Advantages of the use of not only global pattern information, but also local pattern information are tested in thermal infrared hyper...
GROWTH, CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVICE APPLICATIONS OF CADMIUM ZINC TELLURIDE THIN FILMS Doğru Balbaşı, Çiğdem; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2022-5-25) CdZnTe is an II-VI group semiconductor material with significant properties used in many critical industrial applications, such as photovoltaic devices, photodiodes, photoconductors, room temperature gamma-ray spectroscopy, X-ray imaging, and infrared detectors. In Particular, CdZnTe is a promising material for solar cell application as an absorber layer due to its direct tunable bandgap property, high atomic number with strong absorption, excellent optoelectronic properties, and long-term stability. Howeve...
Asymmetric transmission of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves using chiral metamaterials with constant chirality over a certain frequency band Akgöl, Oğuzhan; Dinçer, Furkan; Karaaslan, Muharrem; Ünal, Emin; Sabah, Cumali (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2014-12-30) In this study, a dynamic chiral metamaterial (MTM) structure leading to an asymmetric electromagnetic (EM) wave transmission for linear polarization is presented. The structure is composed of square-shaped resonator with gaps on both sides of a dielectric substrate with a certain degree of rotation. The dynamic structure is adjustable via various parameters to fit any desired frequency ranges. Theoretical and experimental analysis of the proposed structure are conducted and given in detail. The suggested mo...
Surface Wave Suppression Properties of Perforated Artificial Impedance Surfaces Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R. (2013-01-01) Surface wave suppression properties of Perforated Artificial Impedance Surfaces (PAIS) are investigated. It is shown that, by a proper choice of perforation geometry, surface wave propagation can be suppressed without the need of vias. This significantly decreases fabrication costs. It is also possible to overlap the surface wave suppression and reflection phase bands of the PAIS. Due to the rotational asymmetry of the structure, surface wave suppression is achieved in only one direction.
