Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Keggin Type-Polyoxometalate Decorated Ruthenium Nanoparticles: Highly Active and Selective Nanocatalyst for the Oxidation of Veratryl Alcohol as a Lignin Model Compound(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2017) Baguc, Ismail Burak; Saglam, Serif; Ertas, Ilknur Efecan; Keles, Muhammed Nuri; Celebi, Metin; Kaya, Murat; Zahmakiran, MehmetDescribed herein is a new nanocatalyst system that efficiently works in the aerobic oxidation of veratryl alcohol (VA), which is formed by cleavage of beta-O-4 linkages in lignin, to veratraldehyde (VAL) under mild reaction conditions. The new nanocatalyst system comprised of ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on the Keggin type polyoxometalate (POM; K-3[PMo12O40]) network (Ru/POM) can simply and reproducibly be prepared by the dimethylamine-borane ((CH3)(2)NHBH3) reduction of ruthenium(III) chloride trihydrate (RuCl3.3H(2)O) in isopropanol solution of K-3[P Mo12O40] at room temperature. The characterization of Ru/POM by the combination of various analytical techniques reveals that the formation of well-dispersed ruthenium(0) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 4.7 +/- 1.2nm on the surface of POM network structure. This new Ru/POM nanocatalyst displays remarkable activity (TOF=7.5mol VAld/mol Ru x h) at high selectivity (> 98%) and almost complete conversion (98%) in the aerobic oxidation of VA to VAld under mild conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Chemical Composition Optimization and Isothermal Transformation of Δ-Transformation Plasticity Steel for the Third-Generation Advanced High-Strength Steel Grade(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Okur, Onur; Davut, Kemal; Palumbo, Gianfranco; Nalcaci, Burak; Guglielmi, Pasquale; Yalcin, Mustafa Alp; Erdogan, MehmetA new low-manganese transformation-induced plasticity steel is designed with optimized nickel content to achieve superior strength and ductility while minimizing the use of expensive nickel. The steel is optimized using JMatPro software, then cast, and hot rolled. To assess the effect of intercritical annealing on austenite (martensite at room temperature) volume fraction and carbon content, hot-rolled steel samples quenched from different annealing temperatures (680-1100 degrees C) are used. Additionally, hot-rolled steel coupons are intercritically annealed at about 50% austenite formation temperature (740 degrees C) and then subjected to isothermal treatments at 300-425 degrees C for varying times (10-90 min). After optimizing these treatments to maximize retained austenite (RA), tensile specimens are heat-treated first at 740 degrees C and then isothermally at 325 degrees C. Thermodynamic calculations suggest that aluminum combined with silicon may lead to the delta ferrite formation, and even minimal nickel content can stabilize a considerable amount of austenite. In the experimental studies, it is shown that lower-temperature bainitic holding enhances austenite stability by enriching the carbon content. Optimized two-stage heat treatments yield up to 25.8% RA, with a tensile strength of 867.2 MPa and elongation of 40.6%, achieving a strength-elongation product of 35.2 GPax%, surpassing the third-generation advanced high-strength steel grades minimum requirement of 30 GPax%.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Synthesis, X-Ray Data, and Hall Effect Measurements of Li-Doped Tl-Ba Superconductor(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2003) Kayed, TSLithium-doped Tl-based superconductor was prepared by adding an amount of 0.3 mol.% to the Tl1.8Ba2Ca2.2Cu3Ox compound. The usual solid-state reaction method has been applied under optimum conditions. The x-ray data of the sample show a tetragonal structure with a high ratio of Tl-2223 superconducting phase. The sample showed a transition at 125 K and the zero resistance was observed at 117 K. Longitudinal (transport) and transverse (Hall) resistivities were measured at different temperatures under different magnetic fields and the data were interpreted. A positive Hall coefficient was observed at normal state and a sign reversal appears at temperatures lower than the critical temperature. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

They were examined by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Single phase, belongs to the cubic pyrochlore structure, with a lattice parameter of 10.442 Angstrom and grain size that varies from 16 to 20 mum was obtained. The electrical properties were measured at different temperatures in the range 15-330 K under different applied magnetic fields up 1.4 T. In our measurements for Hall coefficient, Hall resistivity, and mobility; we noticed an anomalous behavior at two temperatures (around 250 and 310 K) which was supported by the I-V measurements (double transition of the slope of I-V characteristics (beta) at the same temperatures). This was discussed in terms of polarization phenomenon and mixed ionic-electronic conduction. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Erman; Akyuz, UgurhanMaterializing Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM), numerical modeling of discrete internal cracks, namely central bursts, in direct forward extrusion process is presented. Accordingly, in a thermodynamically consistent setting, a local Lemaitre variant damage model with quasi-unilateral evolution is coupled with hyperelastic-plasticity. The formulations are constructed in the principal axes where simultaneous local integration schemes are efficiently developed. To this end, the framework is implemented as ABAQUS/VUMAT subroutine to be used in an explicit FE solution scheme, and utilized in direct forward extrusion simulations for bearing steel, 100Cr6. Discontinuous cracks are obtained with the element deletion procedure, where the elements reaching the critical damage value are removed from the mesh. The periodicity of the cracks shows well accordance with the experimental facts. The investigations reveal that, application of the quasi-unilateral conditions together with the crack closure parameter has an indispensable effect on the damage accumulation zones by determining their internal or superficial character.

The Hall measurements revealed that the crystals exhibit an anomalous behavior of Hall voltage by changing sign (from p-type to n-type conductivity) at 315 K. By means of the temperature dependence of dark electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and photocurrent measurements the donor energy levels located at 360, 280, 152 and 112 meV were detected. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence follows the law I-Ph proportional to F-gamma with gamma being 1.0 (linear), 0.5 (sublinear), 1.0 (linear) and 1.3 (supralinear) at low, moderate, high and very high illumination intensities indicating the monomolecular in the bulk, bimolecular and strong recombination at the surface, respectively. The photocurrent is observed to increase with increasing temperature up to a maximum temperature (T-m) 245 K. T is observed to shift to higher temperature as F increases, and disappears in the region where I-Ph-F dependence is supralinear. The phenomenon is attributed to the exchange in the behavior of the sensitizing and recombination centers. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

The data reflect the intrinsic and extrinsic nature of the crystals above and below 300 K, respectively. Energy band gaps of 1.35 and 1.31 eV at 0 K and 300 K, were defined from the dark conductivity measurements and the photocurrent spectra, respectively. The dark and photoconductivity data in the extrinsic temperature region reflect the existence of two independent donor energy levels located at 130 and 16 meV. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence (F) follows the law I(ph)alphaF(gamma), with gamma being 1.0, 0.5 and 1.0 at low, moderate and high intensities indicating the domination of monomolecular, bimolecular and strong recombination at the surface, respectively. In the intrinsic region and in the temperature region where the shallow donor energy level 16 meV is dominant, the free electron life time, tau(n), is found to be constant with increasing F. In the temperature region 140 K < T < 210 K, the free electron life time increases with increasing illumination intensity showing the supralinear character. Below 140 K, tau(n) decrease with decreasing illumination intensity. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

All the five complexes have been structurally characterised, and the crystal structures reveal that the ligand Hpyramol gradually undergoes an oxidative dehydrogenation to form the ligand 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenol (Hpyrimol), upon coordination to Zn-II. All the five complexes cleave the phi X174 phage DNA oxidatively and the complexes with fully dehydrogenated pyrimol ligands were found to be more efficient than the complexes with non-dehydrogenated Hpyramol ligands. The DNA cleavage is suggested to be ligand-based, whereas the pure ligands alone do not cleave DNA. The DNA cleavage is strongly suggested to be oxidative, possibly due to the involvement of a non-diffusible phenoxyl radical mechanism. ne enzymatic religation experiments and DNA cleavage in the presence of different radical scavengers further support the oxidative DNA cleavage by the zinc(II) complexes.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Structural and Dielectric Properties of Ba1-x< Solid Solutions(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2021) Qasrawi, A. F.; Sahin, Ethem Ilhan; Abed, Tamara Y.; Emek, MehribanHerein, lanthanum doping effects on the structural, dielectric, and electrical properties of Ba1-xLax(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (BZN) solid solutions are focused upon. The La contents which are varied in the range of 0.02-0.20 exhibit a solubility limit of x = 0.02. Although minor phases of Ba5Nb4O15 and Ba3LaNb3O12 appear for samples doped with La contents of x = 0.05 and x = 0.10, they play no remarkable role for the enhanced structural and dielectric properties of BZN. The La doping content of x = 0.02 succeeds in increasing the crystallite size by 51.16% and lowering the microstrain by 34.18% and defect concentration by 63.10%. La-doped BZN ceramics display higher values of relative density and electrical conductivity. The analyses of the dielectric spectra as a function of temperature display dielectric relaxation behavior above 120 degrees C. In the temperature range of 20-120 degrees C, La doping changes the temperature coefficient of dielectric constants from +30 ppm degrees C-1 in pure samples to -341 ppm degrees C-1 in samples doped with La contents of x = 0.10. The enhancements in structural parameters, density values, and dielectric responses that are achieved via La doping make BZN ceramics more suitable for electronic device fabrication.
