Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Calculation of the Raman Frequency, Damping Constant (Linewidth) and the Relaxation Time Near the Tetragonal-Cubic Transition in Pbtio3(Elsevier Gmbh, 2017) Yurtseven, H.; Kiraci, A.; 42475; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiFrequencies, damping constants and the relaxation times of some Raman modes including the two soft modes are calculated as a function of pressure near the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. Calculation of the Raman frequencies is performed using the observed volume data from the literature by means of the mode Gruneisen parameter at various pressures. Pressure dependence of the damping constant and the relaxation time is predicted using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model by considering that the Raman frequency can be taken as the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) for the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. Expressions from both models for the damping constants are fitted to the observed Raman linewidths of the two soft modes and for the other Raman modes the damping constant and the relaxation time are predicted close to the transition. We find that damping constants diverge and the inverse relaxation time decreases for the soft modes with increasing pressure near the critical pressure (P-c similar to 11 GPa). The other Raman modes exhibit unusual critical behavior. Our results indicate that the observed behavior of the Raman frequencies can be predicted from the volume data through the mode Gruneisen parameter for the tetragonal-cubic transition in PbTiO3. The damping constant and the relaxation time for the Raman modes can also be predicted adequately using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model to explain the mechanism of the phase transition between the tetragonal and cubic phases in PbTiO3.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe thermoluminescence (TL) of neodymium-doped gallium sulfide (GaS:Nd) single crystals was measured from 10 K to room temperature with various heating rates between 0.2 and 1.0 K/sec. Two peaks centered at 70.9 K and 116.0 K were observed when using a heating rate of 0.8 K/sec. Initial rise and curve fitting methods were used to obtain information on trap activation energies. Activation energies of 94 and 216 meV were found for two analyzable peaks. The heating rate dependencies of TL intensities revealed that one of the observed peaks showed normal behavior according to the one trap-one recombination model, whereas the other model showed anomalous heating rate behavior. TL experiments were also carried out at different illumination temperatures from 10 to 32 K; maximum peak temperature remained almost the same at various illumination temperatures. This behavior indicated that the revealed trapping centers are single, discrete levels. The TL glow curves of undoped GaS crystals were also investigated and the effect of Nd doping on the TL characteristics of crystals is discussed in the manuscript.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Characterization of Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Nabi(Wo4)2 Crystal by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry(Elsevier, 2024) Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.; Isik, M.; 101531; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiNaBi(WO4)2 compound has been a material of considerable attention in optoelectronic applications. The present research, in which we examined the linear and nonlinear optical properties of NaBi(WO4)2 crystal using the spectroscopic ellipsometry method, elucidates the optical behavior of the crystal in detail. Our work provides a sensitive approach to determine the spectral characteristic of the crystal. The spectral dependence of various optical parameters such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric function and absorption coefficient was reported in the range of 1.2-5.0 eV. Optical values such as bandgap energy, critical point energy, single oscillator parameters were obtained as a result of the analyses. In addition to linear optical properties, we also investigated the nonlinear optical behavior of NaBi(WO4)2 and shed new light on the potential applications of the crystal. Absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of the crystal were also reported to characterize optical, electronic and emission behavior of the compound. Our findings may form the basis for a number of technological applications such as optoelectronic devices, frequency conversion, and optical sensors. This research contributes to a better understanding of the optical properties of NaBi(WO4)2 crystal, highlighting the material's role in future optical and electronic technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Damping Constant and the Relaxation Time Calculated for the Lowest-Frequency Soft Mode in the Ferroelectric Phase of Cd2nb2o7(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer verlag, 2016) Yurtseven, H.; Kiraci, A.; 42475; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe temperature dependence of the phonon frequency omega(ph) and of the damping constant Gamma(sp) due to pseudospin-phonon coupling of the lowest-frequency soft mode is calculated in the ferroelectric phase near the transition temperature (T-C =196 K) in Cd2Nb2O7. Raman frequency of the soft mode is used as an order parameter which is calculated from the molecular field theory. On that basis, the damping constant is calculated by fitting the expressions from the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model to the observed linewidth from the literature below T-C in Cd2Nb2O7. From our analysis, we find that the molecular field theory is adequate for the soft mode behaviour and that both models are also satisfactory for the divergence behaviour of the damping constant as T-C is approached from the ferroelectric phase in Cd2Nb2O7. Values of the activation energy U are extracted from the temperature dependence of the damping constant (HWHM) of the soft mode in the ferroelectric phase of this crystal. Also, the inverse relaxation time is predicted using the Raman frequency and damping constant close to the T-C in the ferroelectric phase of Cd2Nb2O7, which increases considerably as T-C is approached from the ferroelectric phase, as observed experimentally.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe success of the flipped learning approach is directly related to the preparation process through the online learning environment. It is clear that the desired level of academic achievement cannot be reached if the students come to class without completing their assignments. In this study, we investigated the effect of the use of gamification in the online environment of flipped learning to determine whether it will increase interaction data, participation, and achievement. We used a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, which implies collecting and analyzing quantitative and then qualitative data. In the online learning environment of the experimental group, we used the gamification. However, participants in the control group could not access the game components. According to the findings, the experimental group had higher scores in terms of interaction data, participation, and achievement compared with the control group. Students with low participation can be encouraged to do online activities with gamification techniques.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Growth and Characterization of Nabi(Mo0.5w0.5o4)2 Single Crystal: a Promising Material for Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Isik, M.; Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.; 101531; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe structural and optical characteristics of NaBi(Mo0.5W0.5O4)2 single crystals grown by Czochralski method were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibited four well-defined peaks related to tetragonal crystalline structure with a space group I41/a. Raman and infrared transmittance spectra were recorded to investigate vibrational properties of the compound. Room temperature transmission spectrum was measured to reveal band gap energy of the crystal. The derivative spectral and absorption coefficient analyses resulted in direct band gap energy of 3.19 and 3.18 eV, respectively. Urbach energy of the crystal was also determined as 0.17 eV from photon energy dependency of absorption coefficient.

M.; 101531; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiStructural and optical properties of double sodium-bismuth molybdate NaBi(MoO4)(2) semiconductor compound was investigated by x-ray diffraction, Raman and transmission experiments. From the x-ray diffraction experiments, the crystal that has tetragonal structure was obtained. Vibrational modes of the crystal were found from the Raman experiments. Transmission experiments were performed in the temperature range of 10-300 K. Derivative spectroscopy analysis and absorption spectrum analysis were performed to get information about the change in band gap energy of the crystal with temperature. It was observed that the band gap energies of the crystal at different temperatures obtained from these techniques are well consisted with each other. By the help of absorption spectrum which was obtained from transmission measurements performed at varying temperatures, absolute zero value of the band gap and average phonon energy as 3.03 +/- 0.02 eV and Eph = 24 +/- 0.2 meV, respectively. Moreover, based on absorption spectrum analysis the Urbach energy of the crystal was obtained as 0.10 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Impaired Redox Homeostasis in the Heart Left Ventricles of Aged Rats Experiencing Fast-Developing Severe Hypobaric Hypoxia(Springer, 2019) Agascioglu, Eda; Colak, Ridvan; Demirel, Haydar; Cakatay, Ufuk; 07.01. Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü; 07. Enstitüler; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiDespite its rare occurrence, humans and animals have been prone to getting fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia. Understanding the redox homeostasis related response of an aging heart to this type of hypoxia are crucially important, since the metabolism of myocardial tissue depends on the redox status of proteins. Rodents can tolerate hypoxic stress better than human subjects. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia on redox status biomarkers; such as, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs), protein carbonyl groups (PCO), protein thiol groups (P-SH), and total thiol groups (T-SH) on the myocardial left ventricles of young and aged Wistar rats. The rats were gradually ascended and exposed to an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia. While AOPP levels showed no difference, the TSH and PSH concentrations decreased, and the PCO and LHP increased in both of the hypoxic groups than the controls. The TSH and PSH were lower, and AOPP, PCO and LHP were found to be higher in the elderly hypoxic groups than in the young ones. The significant outcome of the study represents that an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia could be considered as a severe hypoxic stress, but not life-treating for the rats and would affect both the young and aged left ventricles similarly in respect to impaired redox status. However, if the percentage increases are taken into consideration, it seems that the higher rate of protein oxidation occurs in young hearts; meanwhile aged hearts are more prone to T-SH oxidation.Article Citation - WoS: 9Optical Analysis of Tlins2xse2(1-X) Mixed Crystals(Amer inst Physics, 2014) Guler, I.; 101531; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe ellipsometry measurements were carried out on TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals in the spectral range of 1.5-6.0 eV at room temperature. The refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of dielectric function were found as a result of ellipsometric measurements. The energies of interband transitions (critical point energies) of the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals were obtained by means of the second derivative of the real and imaginary parts of dielectric function. The variation of the critical point energies with the isomorphic anion substitution that is sulfur for selenium atoms was established.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiOptical and electrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission, reflection and photoconductivity measurements. Transmission and reflection experiments have been carried out from 540 to 1000 nm at room temperature. Derivative analysis was applied to both transmission and reflection spectra and indirect band gap energy was found as 2.06 eV. Photoconductivity measurements have been performed in the temperature range from 245 to 300 K and in the voltage range from 10 to 80 V. From the temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the observed single peak shifted to higher wavelengths with increase of temperature. The increase of photoconductivity with temperature is due to the increase in the mobility of photocarriers that can be explained by Bube model. From X112 method, room temperature indirect band gap of the crystal was also found as 2.06 eV. From voltage-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the peak maximum increased linearly with increase of voltage because of increase of the mobility of charge carriers. Dark current-voltage characteristic of TlInSSe crystal showed the ohmic behavior that means space charge limited current did not exist in the crystal. From the photocurrent with different illumination intensity analysis, the supralinear photoconductivity associated with the two center model was found. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiPlasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique was used to deposit silicon nitride (SiNx) thin films. The silane (SiH4) and ammonia (NH3) were used as reactant gases. Both the flow rates of the NH3 and SiH4 gases were changed but total flow rate kept constant to obtain the different ratio nitrogen (N) in the SiNx films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to get information about absorption ratios of the films and the bond types in the films. The refractive index of the films was obtained from ellipsometry measurements. From FTIR measurements and ellipsometry measurements, refractive index for amorphous silicon (Si) and refractive index for stoichiometric SiNx were found as 3.27 and 1.91, respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) measurements were used to see the luminescent of the amorphous Si nanoparticles which were occurred spontaneously during deposition process. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to analyze the Si nanoparticle size.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Optical Characterization of (Tlins2)0.5 Crystal by Ellipsometry: Linear and Optical Constants for Optoelectronic Devices(Springer, 2023) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.; 101531; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiTlInSSe [(TlInS2)(0.5)(TlInSe2)(0.5)] crystals have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional optoelectrical characteristics. This study focused on investigating the linear and nonlinear optical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals through ellipsometry measurements. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of four distinct peaks corresponding to a monoclinic crystalline structure. In-depth analysis was conducted to examine the variations of refractive index, extinction coefficient, and complex dielectric function within the energy range of 1.25-6.15 eV. By employing derivative analysis of the absorption coefficient and utilizing the Tauc relation, the indirect and direct bandgap energies of TlInSSe crystals were determined to be 2.09 and 2.26 eV, respectively. Furthermore, this research paper presents findings on oscillator energy, dispersion energy, Urbach energy, zero and high frequency dielectric constants, plasma frequency, carrier density to effective mass ratio, nonlinear refractive index, and first-order and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities of TlInSSe crystals.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3A Phenomenological Study on Ferroelastic Kh3(Seo3)2 and Kd3(Seo3)2(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Kiraci, A.; 42475; 09.01. Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe anomalous behavior of the Brillouin frequency shift omega of the soft acoustic mode for KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2), and also the volume thermal expansion proportional to(V) and the specific heat C of KH3(SeO3)(2) have been analyzed for various temperature intervals close to the phase transition temperatures TC at around 211 K and 302 K, respectively. Our extracted values of the critical exponent from C and proportional to(V) of KH3(SeO3)(2) within the temperature intervals of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 7 K are nearly zero, while the critical exponent extracted from the Brillouin frequency shift data of both KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2) within the same temperature interval of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 7 K decrease very rapidly toward to zero as the phase transition temperatures are approached. Our results indicate that the critical behavior of omega, proportional to(V) and C of both KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2) can be described with the same critical exponent within the temperature interval of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 2 K.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6A Phenomenological Study on Ferroelectric Pyridinium Tetrafluoroborate (C5nh6) Bf4(Elsevier, 2019) Kiraci, A.; 42475; 09.01.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe temperature dependence of the specific heat C-V of (C5NH6)BF4 was analyzed according to a power law formula with a critical exponent alpha deduced from the compressible Ising model in the vicinity of the phase transition temperatures of T-C1 = 238 K and T-C2 = 204 K. The extracted values of the critical exponent alpha within the temperature intervals of vertical bar T - T-C1 vertical bar < 6 K and also T - T-C2 < 6 K were consistent with that predicted from the 3d-Ising model (alpha = 0.10) while obtained values of alpha within the temperature interval of T-C2 - T < 6 K were consistent with that predicted from 2-d potts model (alpha = 0.30). In addition, the thermodynamic quantities: the internal energy (U), the entropy (S) and the Helmholtz free energy (F) of this compound were calculated on the basis of the extracted values of the critical exponent a below and above the phase transition temperatures of T-C1 and T-C2.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Studies of Optical Properties of Tlin(S0.25se0.75)2 Crystal(Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.; 101531; 09.01.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiLayered semiconductor materials have become a serious research topic in recent years, thanks to their effective optical properties. In this article, the thin-film structure of Tl2In2S3Se [(TlInS2)(0.75)(TlInSe2)(0.25)] material with layered structure was grown by thermal evaporation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the deposited thin films were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques were used to get information about structural and morphological properties of the thin films. XRD pattern presented well-defined peaks associated with monoclinic crystalline structure. The crystallite size, dislocation density, and lattice strain of the films were also obtained from the analyses of XRD pattern. EDS analysis showed that atomic compositional ratios of the Tl, In, S, and Se elements are consistent with chemical formula of Tl2In2S3Se. The optical characterization of thin film was performed using transmission and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Raman spectrum offered information about the vibrational modes of the thin film.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiRaman and infrared (IR) reflection characteristics were investigated in the frequency region of 100-450 cm(-1) for (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) mixed crystals for compositions of x increasing from 0.0 to 1.0 by intervals of 0.25 obtained by Bridgman crystal growth technique. In the Raman spectra of these crystals four dominant peak features were observed while two bands were detected in the IR spectra of interest samples. Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations applied to IR spectra presented the frequencies of transverse optical modes.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiPhotoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals have been studied in the wavelength range of 580-670 nm and temperature range of 7-59 K. Two PL emission bands centered at 613 nm (2.02 eV, A-band) and 623 nm (1.99 eV, B-band) were revealed at T = 7K. The excitation laser intensity dependence of the emission bands have been studied in the 0.06-1.40 W cm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor levels located at E-A = 0.11 and E-B = 0.15 eV below the bottom of conduction band to single shallow acceptor level located at 0.01 eV above the valence band are suggested to be responsible for the observed A- and B-bands. A simple model was proposed to interpret the recombination processes in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe damping constant Gamma(sp) due to the pseudospin-phonon coupling is calculated as a function of temperature using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model close to the tetragonal-cubic transition (T-C = 1443 K) in SrZrO3. Using the observed Raman frequencies and the linewidth (FWHM) of the soft modes (E-g and A(1g)) from the literature, predictions of both models studied, are examined for the tetragonal-cubic transition in this crystalline system. Values of the activation energy U are extracted and also the inverse relaxation time is predicted as a function of temperature close to the phase transition studied in SrZrO3. Divergence behaviour of the damping constant (FWHM) of the soft modes is predicted from both models as also observed experimentally when T-C is approached from the tetragonal to the cubic phase in SrZrO3. The relaxation time also diverges close to the T-C in this crystal. It is indicated that the tetragonal cubic transition is of a second order as predicted from both models studied here, as also observed experimentally in SrZrO3. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiWe calculate the order parameter (spontaneous polarization) and the inverse dielectric susceptibility at various temperatures in the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3 for its ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition (T-C =1260 K) using the Landau phenomenological model. For this calculation, the Raman frequencies of the soft optic mode (TO1) are used as the order parameter and the fitting procedure is employed for both the order parameter and the inverse dielectric susceptibility by means of the observed data from the literature. The temperature dependences of the damping constant and the inverse relaxation time are also computed using the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model for the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3. The activation energy is deduced from the damping constant for both models studied and compared with the k(B)T(C) value of LiNbO3. We find that the order parameter (Raman frequency of the TO1 mode) and the inverse dielectric susceptibility decrease with increasing temperature, as expected from the mean field model. We also find that the damping constant and the inverse relaxation time of this soft mode increases and decreases, respectively, with increasing temperature on the basis of the two models studied in the ferroelectric phase of LiNbO3. This indicates that our method of calculation is satisfactory to describe the observed behaviour of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in LiNbO3. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH.
