ZnO-In2O3-SnO2 (ZITO) thin film library was produced via the combinatorial approach. The films were deposited using a magnetron sputtering system. Varying ZITO compositions were obtained in a single deposition run by employing a custom-made triangular type of substrate carrier magazine. The effect of various postgrowth annealing atmospheres on the electrical and optical properties of the films were ex-amined. Air, Ar, forming gas (Ar+4 vol% H-2), and successive annealing under forming gas + argon atmo-spheres were studied. Room temperature (RT) deposited films were identified either crystalline or amorphous depending on the location of the substrate on the holder. All these samples exhibited average visible transmittance (T-vis) below 75 % and sheet resistance (R-S) higher than 50 S2/? . Annealing under air atmosphere improved the optical and electrical properties of the films significantly, but not simultaneously for the same composition. Although better optical improvement was achieved by annealing under Ar and increase in electrical conductivity after annealing under forming gas, optimum properties have been ob-tained with the latter condition. T-vis values above 85 % and R-S values below 50 S2/? were attained. On the other hand, successive annealing did not provide any advantage in reaching optimal samples when com-pared to single gas atmosphere annealings. Further, increasing the annealing temperature were found to be beneficial particularly for the conductivity of many compositions. Finally, this study has introduced a systematic approach to produce transparent conductive oxide thin films with reduced indium content that can be suitable for many optoelectronic applications.

An extended tube model for thermo viscoelasticity of rubberlike materials Parameter identification and examples BEHNKE, Ronny; Dal, Hüsnü; Kaliske, Michael (2011-04-21) The extended tube-model was presented by KALISKE & HEINRICH (RCT 72, 602-632) in 1999 as a novel approach for isothermal hyperelasticity of rubberlike materials. This contribution is dedicated to its further development to finite non-linear thermo-viscoelasticity. A non-linear evolution law and a thermo-mechanical coupled free energy formulation are the kernel of the phenomenological approach where the elastic material response is inspired by statistical-mechanical theory. The representation of viscoelastic...
A FINITE-ELEMENT STUDY OF FRONTOGENESIS Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; MACPHERSON, AK; HILTON, PD (1984-01-01) Finite elements are used to simulate the frontogenesis in a three-dimensional model employing sigma-coordinates. The basic flow is an east-west shear layer in which the velocity increases linearly with altitude and a periodic east-west perturbation is imposed on all variables. The effects of the element order, resolution, the boundary conditions, and time advance technique on the simulation of frontal development are examined. The space discretization is achieved by the first-order and the second-order isop...
A micro macro approach to rubber like materials Part II The micro sphere model of finite rubber viscoelasticity Christian, Miehe; Göktepe, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01) A micromechanically based non-affine network model for finite rubber elasticity incorporating topological constraints was discussed in Part 1 (2004. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 52, 2617-2660) of this work. In this follow-up contribution we extend the non-affine microsphere model towards the description of time-dependent viscoelastic effects. The viscoelastic network model is constructed by an additive split of the overall response into elastic equilibrium-stress and viscoelastic overstress contributions. The equi...
Enhancement in Photovoltaic Characteristics of CdS/CdTe Heterojunction Surucu, Gukhan; Gullu, HASAN HÜSEYİN; Bayrakli, Ozge; Parlak, Mehmet (2017-12-01) The polycrystalline p-type CdTe thin film was deposited to form a solar cell structure with n-type CdS thin film window layer. Material characterization of the deposited thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction measurements and the preferred orientations were obtained along (111) direction at 2 theta congruent to 24 degrees and 2 theta congruent to 26.5 degrees for CdTe and CdS films, respectively. The optical behaviors were investigated according to the transmission spectrum and corresponding dire...
A density functional theory study of ethylene adsorption on Ni-10(111), Ni-13(100) and Ni-10(110) surface cluster models and Ni-13 nanocluster Yilmazer, Nusret Duygu; Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2010-06-01) Ethylene adsorption was studied by use of DFT/B3LYP with basis set 6-31G(d, p) in Gaussian' 03 software. It was found that ethylene has adsorbed molecularly on all clusters with pi adsorption mode. Relative energy values were calculated to be -50.86 kcal/mol, -20.48 kcal/mol, -32.44 kcal/mol and -39.27 kcal/mol for Ni-13 nanocluster, Ni-10(1 1 1), Ni-13(1 0 0) and Ni10(1 1 0) surface cluster models, respectively. Ethylene adsorption energy is inversely proportional to Ni coordination number when Ni-10(1 1 1...
