Öğe Effect of CuO doping on the performance of LaB6 interlayer films in Al/CuO:LaB6/p-Si/Al diodes(Elsevier, 2023) Ocaya, Richard O.; Al-Sehemi, Abdullah G.; Tataroglu, Adem; Dere, Aysegul; Erol, Ibrahim; Aksu, Mecit; Al-Ghamdi, Ahmed A.This study investigates the fabrication and performance analysis of Al/CuO:LaB6/p-Si/Al diodes with CuO-doped LaB6 interlayer films of varying concentrations (1%, 5%, and 10%). Experimental evidence demonstrates the limitations of 0% CuO doping, as pure LaB6 lacks a significant barrier height, resulting in ohmic behavior unsuitable for intended applications. Through comprehensive analyses under varying illuminations (20-100 mW/cm2) and frequencies (10 kHz-1 MHz), the study reveals that controlling CuO doping in LaB6 significantly enhances the effective barrier height at the LaB6:CuO heterojunction, improving rectification properties. This enhancement enables the diode to be well-suited for high-speed photonic devices utilizing one-step photoemission. The findings contribute to the development of high-performance LaB6-based devices, advancing photonic technologies by emphasizing the advantages of CuO doping.Öğe Experimental Study on The Gamma Ray Absorption Properties of Lanthanum and Cerium Borides(2023) Gülbiçim, Hasan; Özcan, Aynur; Türkan, Nureddin; Aksu, Mecit; Kurt, EsraThe objective of this study is to investigate the mass attenuation coefficients (?m) of lanthanumhexaborides and ceriumhexaborides over a wide photon energy range emitted from the main radioactive sources used in medicine and industry. 125I, 99mTc, 131I, 137Cs, 60Co and 152Eu gamma ray sources were used in the experiments. The materials synthesized in powder form were first pelletized and then irradiated by photon beams. At the end, it was seen that there is successful consistency between the obtained experimental data and the previous theoretical results. It was also observed that the investigated samples are comparable enough to the known standard gamma shielding materials, especially to lead which is one of the most common one. In conclusion, it is understood that the presently investigated samples have a promising aspect in terms of developing new shielding materials against gamma rays.Öğe Fabrication of photodiodes based on graphene oxide (GO) doped lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanocomposites(Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Yalcin, Mesut; Al-Sehemi, Abdullah G.; Erol, Ibrahim; Aksu, Mecit; Tillayev, Sanjar; Dere, Aysegul; Al-Ghamdi, Ahmed A.GO-doped LaB6 nanocomposite-based Al/p-Si/GO:LaB6/Al photodiodes were fabricated for the study. The electrical properties of the fabricated photodiodes were subjected to current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements. The ideality factors, barrier heights and series resistance values of photodiodes were calculated and compared using the Cheung-Cheung and Norde methods approaches. The lowest ideality factor values were calculated to be 4.75, 4.00 and 9.21 in the samples doped with GO at 1 %, 5 % and 10 %, respectively, and the highest barrier height values were calculated from the Norde function to be 0.75, 0.64 and 0.75 eV, respectively Additionally, the responsivity (R) and detectivity (D) values of the diodes were calculated. The R values of 1 %, 3 % and % 5 doped diodes were calculated as 2153, 6001 and 2042 mA/W at, 100 mW/cm(2), respectively. The D* values of 1 %, 3 % and % 5 doped diodes are calculated as 1.38 x 10(11), 3.85 x 10(11) and 1.31 x 10(11) Jones at 100 mW/cm(2), respectively. The interface state (Nss) of 1 %, 3 % and % 5 doped diodes were calculated as 2 x 10(13), 1.25 x 10(13) and 1.06 x 10(13)eV(-1) cm(-2), at 100 mW/cm(2), respectively. It can be concluded that the diodes produced in this study have potential for use in optoelectronic applications.Öğe Gamma ray shielding properties of synthesized lanthanide borides using EGSnrc code(Elsevier, 2023) Gulbicim, Hasan; Aksu, Mecit; Turkan, Nureddin; Babuz, CansuIn this study, we have investigated some hexaborides which are synthesized for the purpose of gamma-ray shielding.

These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. Crystals of one of these complexes [CumppClN(3) (VII)] were prepared in suitable size, and a molecular structure of this complex was obtained with X-ray diffraction method. Complexes were examined by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry methods. Thermal decomposition was observed in complexes including two azide groups similar to that seen in explosives.

For this purpose, a compatible blend of CS (CS-PFPAMA) with poly 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl-2-methylprop-2-enoate (PFPAMA), a methacrylate-based synthetic polymer, was prepared by hydrothermal method. Miscibility and compatibility of the CS-PFPAMA blend were confirmed by the single glass transition temperature (T-g) determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Then, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by the chemical method were successfully added to the CS-PFPAMA blend at different weight ratios by hydrothermal method. Morphological characterizations of CS-PFPAMA blend and produced nanocomposites were performed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy, and thermal characterizations were made with thermogravimetric analysis and DSC. The thermal stability and T-g values of the obtained CS-PFPAMA blend and nanocomposites were lower than the values of the CS. However, LaB6 NPs increased the dielectric properties of the CS-PFPAMA blend. Thus, the potential use of the produced nanocomposites in electronic devices may be in question. According to the results of antibiogram tests performed by the disk diffusion method, it was determined that nanocomposites showed a serious resistance against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus pathogens. In addition, both antioxidant and oxidant properties of nanocomposites showed values close to the reference material used. The determined biological properties indicate that the CS-based nanocomposites can be used as biomaterials.Öğe Preparation of Novel Composites of Polyvinyl Alcohol Containing Hesperidin Loaded ZnO Nanoparticles and Determination of Their Biological and Thermal Properties(Springer, 2023) Erol, İbrahim; Hazman, Ömer; Aksu, MecitHesperidin (HSP) is considered to be the most effective antimicrobial agent against SARS-CoV2 virus. The HSP was loaded onto ZnO nanoparticles that were successfully incorporated, via the hydrothermal method, into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for use as food packaging material. The hydrothermal method enabled the bioactive ZnO-HSP to be homogeneously dispersed in the PVA, which significantly increased the thermal stability of the matrix, while decreasing the softening temperature. The water holding capacity and water solubility of the obtained nanocomposites was reduced compared to the PVA. Finally, the ZnO-HSP antimicrobial agent contributed important antibacterial properties to the PVA and increased its antioxidant capacity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli pathogens. In addition, the nanocomposites had no cytotoxic/proliferative effects on cancer cells. All results showed promise that the PVA/ZnO-HSP nanocomposites would be an excellent alternative for food packaging applications.Öğe Preparation of poly(AAm-co-HEMA)/ZnO nanocomposites via in situ polymerization/hydrothermal method and determination of their properties(Springer, 2022) Erol, İbrahim; Aksu, Mecit; Gürler, ZekiIn this study, nanocomposites of acrylamide (AAm) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-based hydrogel containing ZnO nanoparticles in different ratios by mass (1, 3, and 5%) were synthesized using in situ polymerization/hydrothermal method. It was determined that the hydrogel contained 60% HEMA in the copolymer composition calculated with the help of H-1-NMR. Characterization of materials was carried out by SEM, BET, FTIR, UV-Vis, TGA, and XRD techniques. The Ea and Tg value and thermal stability of the pure poly(AAm-co-HEMA) hydrogel were increased by adding ZnO. The water absorption capacity of nanocomposites was determined by swelling experiments. As the amount of ZnO in the composites increased, the degree of swelling decreased. Biological activities of poly(AAm-co-HEMA) and nanocomposites against gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria increased as the amount of ZnO increased. Finally, The dielectric properties of the poly(AAm-co-HEMA) and nanocomposites were investigated as a function of frequency at 25 degrees C temperature in the frequency range of 1-200 kHz.Öğe A study on the investigation of gamma shielding properties of some metal borides(Elsevier Ltd, 2019) Gülbiçim, Hasan; Türkan, M. Nureddin; Aksu, Mecit; Durmuş, SefaIn this study, the gamma radiation absorption capabilities of some metal borides were studied by using Monte Carlo simulation method. So, the mass attenuation coefficients, ? m , the half value layer, HVL, the tenth value layer, TVL and the mean free path, MFP values of the NdB 6 , SmB 6 and GdB 6 were calculated by means of EGSnrc particle transport code and XCOM program theoretically within the energy range 0.125–5 MeV. It was seen that there is a quite successful consistency (t = 0.00049, p = 0.99961) between the simulated results and calculated values obtained by NIST's XCOM photon cross-section database. Those computational results for the synthesized compounds have also been compared with lead and vermiculite which have concluded that NdB 6 , SmB 6 , and GdB 6 are good candidates for gamma shielding applications. These materials were sythesized by magnesiothermic reduction in open air. Stoichiometric amounts of M 2 O 3 , B 2 O 3 and Mg (20% excess) were mixed, where M III is a lanthanide metal (Nd III , Sm III and Gd III ) ion. Mixture was heated to 700 °C, 800 °C and 900 °C. Optimum reaction temperature and reaction time were found by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Scannning Electron Microscopy (SEM). By fixing the reaction temperature, reaction time has changed as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h to obtain nano crystals with homogeneous morphology. It was found that optimum reaction temperature and reaction time of NdB 6 is 700 °C and 3 h, for SmB 6 700 °C and 1 h for GdB 6 900 °C. © 2019Öğe Synergistic effect of ZnO nanoparticles and hesperidin on the antibacterial properties of chitosan(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Erol, İbrahim; Hazman, Ömer; Aksu, Mecit; Bulut, EmineIn this study, hesperidin (HSP) biological agent, which has strong antioxidant properties, was successfully transferred to ZnO nanoparticles, which were first synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Then, chitosan (CS)/ZnO-HSP nanocomposites were produced by adding different ratios of the ZnO-HSPs to the biodegradable CS biopolymer by hydrothermal method. The resulting materials were characterized using various biophysical strategies, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The mean particle size of ZnO was estimated to be 29 nm from the XRD calculations and SEM measurements. The effect of the ZnO-HSPs on the thermal properties of pure CS was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry techniques, and improvements were noted in the thermal properties of CS. While the T-g value of CS was 81 degrees C, this value increased by 13-94 degrees C with the addition of 6 wt% by weight of the ZnO-HSP. The antibacterial effect of materials was determined by the disc diffusion method. The ZnO-HSPs added to the CS caused the nanocomposites to have a remarkable effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms. While the inhibition diameter of the CS against E. coli was 18.3, the same value increased to 22.3 for the composite containing 6 wt% the ZnO-HSP. The HSP increased the antioxidant capacity of both the ZnO-HSP particles and the CS/ZnO-HSP nanocomposites, reducing the toxic effects of ZnO nanoparticles. Thus, it was determined that the CS/ZnO-HSP nanocomposites did not have any cytotoxicity in healthy human cells. The fact that the produced nanocomposites exhibit antibacterial activity and do not harm human cells shows that they can be a safe product for health. From all these results, this triple hybrid system is hoped that it will be used in biomedical applications as a naturally-sourced, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective composite biomaterial by combining its antimicrobial and strong antioxidant properties.Öğe Synthesis and DFT study of Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes of ONNO-type Schiff bases(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017) Aksu, Mecit; Çifci, Mehmet; Böyükata, Mustafa; Durmuş, Sefa; Babgi, BandarThis study consists of the synthesis of cadmium (II) and mercury (II) metal complexes of ONNO-type Schiff bases. Two different ONNO-type Schiff bases were prepared. One cadmium(II) and one mercury(II) complex of the considered Schiff bases were achieved. Both are proved to be mononuclear complexes. Ligands and complexes were analyzed via melting point determination, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Moreover, structural and energetic analyses for both complexes have been realized using Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods with CEP-121G basis set.Öğe Synthesis of Moringa oleifera coated silver-containing nanocomposites of a new methacrylate polymer having pendant fluoroarylketone by hydrothermal technique and investigation of thermal, optical, dielectric and biological properties(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Erol, İbrahim; Ciğerci, İbrahim Hakkı; Özkara, Arzu; Akyil, Dilek; Aksu, MecitFirstly, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by green synthesis method from Moringa oleifera extract. Nanocomposites containing newly synthesized methacrylate polymer, poly 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl-2-methylprop-2-enoate (PFPAMA) and Ag nanoparticles from M. oleifera in different mass ratios (1, 3, and 5 wt%) were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The morphological and structural properties of the materials have been examined by SEM, FTIR, UV, TGA, and XRD techniques. The activation energies (E-a) related to thermal decomposition of the nanocomposites were estimated by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods by using non-isothermal TGA experiments. The thermal stability, glass transition temperature (T-g), and the thermal decomposition activation energy (E-a) values of nanocomposites were increased by increasing the Ag nanoparticles amount on the composite. The dielectric constant (epsilon '), the dielectric loss factor (epsilon '') and ac conductivity of neat PFPAMA and nanocomposites were also measured for the frequency range of 100 Hz to 2 kHz at 25 degrees C. It was seen that the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor decreased with increasing frequency. The biological activities of nanocomposites against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and Candida krusei yeast were also tested. The antibacterial effect increased against both bacterial species as the amount of Ag nanoparticles from M. oleifera in the nanocomposites increased. In addition, the wound healing properties of nanocomposites were investigated by the scratch wound test.Öğe Synthesis of novel methacrylate-based nanocomposites containing ZnO via the hydrothermal method and determination of thermal, optical, and biocidal properties(Wiley, 2022) Erol, İbrahim; Aksu, Mecit; Gürler, ZekiIn this work, the hydrothermal method was used to prepare nanocomposites of a new methacrylate polymer (PFPAMA) carrying the aryl fluoro group in the side branch and containing different mass ratios (1%, 3%, and 5%) of nano ZnO. Morphological and structural properties of the PFPAMA-ZnO nanocomposites were determined via scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet (UV), and X-ray diffraction, whereas the thermal properties of the nanocomposites were determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The obtained results showed that the thermal stability and glass transition temperature (T-g) of the nanocomposites had increased with the increase in the amount of ZnO. Thermal degradation activation energies (E-a) of the nanocomposites were calculated via non-isothermal TGA experiments using the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose methods. Both calculated E-a values were compatible with each other and increased in parallel with the ZnO increases. The UV measurements showed that the ZnO nanoparticles added to the PFPAMA played an important role as a UV barrier, and thus expanding the potential applications of the PFPAMA polymer. Finally, the biological activities of the PFPAMA/ZnO nanocomposites against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria were also tested.Öğe ZnO/Kitosan Hibrit Nano Geçirgen Mikroküreciklerin Ultrasonik Fabrikasyonu(2022) Aksu, Mecit; Ünlü, ÖzlemSonokimyasal reaksiyonlarda, sıvıdaki ultrasonik dalgaların ve kabarcıkların etkileşimi, kimyasal aktivitenin başlaması veya artması gibi birçok olaya neden olabilir.
