Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Temperature- and Photo-Excitation Effects on the Electrical Properties of Tl4se3< Crystals(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2009) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The extrinsic energy states and the recombination mechanism in the Tl4Se3S chain crystals are being investigated by means of electrical and photoelectrical measurements for the first time. The electrical resistivity is observed to decrease exponentially with increasing temperature. The analysis of this dependence revealed three impurity levels located at 280, 68 and 48 meV. The photocurrent is observed to increase as temperature decreases down to a minimum temperature T-m=200 K. Below this temperature the photocurrent decreases upon temperature lowering. Two photoconductivity activation energies of 10 and 100 meV were determined for the temperature ranges below and above T-m, respectively. The photocurrent (I-ph) versus illumination intensity (F) dependence follows the I-ph proportional to F-gamma law. The value of gamma decreases from similar to 1.0 at 300K to similar to 0.34 at 160K. The change in the value of gamma with temperature is attributed to the exchange of roles between the monomolecular recombination at the surface near room temperature and trapping centers in the crystal, which become dominant as temperature decreases.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 24Preparation of Electrospun Pcl-Based Scaffolds by Mono/Multi-functionalized Go(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019) Basar, Ahmet Ozan; Sadhu, Veera; Sasmazel, Hilal TurkogluIn the present study, sythetic biodegradable polymer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) and graphene oxide (GO) were combined together to prepare 3D, composite tissue scaffolds (PCL/GO scaffolds) by using electrospinning technique. Also, the influence of Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro (GRGDSP) and/or thiophene (Th) modified GO on the composite PCL/GO mats (PCL/GO, PCL/GO-GRGDSP, PCL/ GO-Th, PCL/GO-GRGDSP-Th) was further investigated. Characteristic examinations of the scaffolds were carried out by scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle (CA) measurements, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TGA, electrical conductivity tests, phosphate buffer saline absorption and shrinkage tests and mechanical tests. All of the scaffolds were exhibited suitable bead free and uniform morphology according to SEM images. With the addition of GO, better hydrophilicity and a slight CA decrease (similar to 5 degrees) for the PCL/GO scaffolds were observed. Mechanical properties were reinforced drastically with the addition and well-dispersion of GO into PCL matrix. The incorporation of PCL and GO exhibited enhanced electrical conductivity and the highest value was found for PCL/GO-GRGDSP-Th (2%) as 15.06 mu S cm(-1). The MG-63 osteoblast cell culture studies (MTT assay, ALP activity, Alizarin-Red staining, fluorescence and SEM analyses) showed that PCL/GO-GRGDSP-Th (1%) scaffolds exhibited the highest biocompatibility performance (1.87 fold MTT absorbance value comparing with neat PCL) due to the advanced properties of GO and the biological interfaces.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Analysis of the Hall Effect in Tlgate2 Single Crystals(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2009) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient of p-type TlGaTe2 crystals were measured in the temperature range of 110-320 K. The electrical resistivity, charge carrier density and Hall mobility data for the crystals have been analyzed by means of existing theories and models to determine the extrinsic energy levels, the carrier effective mass, the donor and acceptor concentrations and the dominant scattering mechanism in the crystal as well. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity recorded parallel and perpendicular to the crystal's axis ( c-axis) reflected the existence of energy levels located at 0.26 and at 0.20 eV, respectively. The difference of these two energy levels is due to crystal anisotropy. The energy level at 0.26 eV was found to represent an acceptor level, as confirmed from Hall data analysis. The temperature dependence of the carrier density was analyzed by using the single-donor-single-acceptor model. The latter analysis revealed the carrier effective mass and the acceptor and donor concentrations as 0.73m(0), 4.10 x 10(17) cm(-3) and 1.20 x 10(17) cm(-3), respectively. The Hall mobility of TlGaTe2 is found to be limited by the scattering of hole-acoustic phonon interactions. The calculated theoretical mobility fits to the experimental one under the condition that the acoustic deformation potential is 11.0 eV, which is the energy position of the top of valence band maximum that is formed by the Te 5s states.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7An Extended Kalman Filtering Approach for the Estimation of Human Head Tissue Conductivities by Using Eeg Data: a Simulation Study(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2012) Sengul, G.; Baysal, U.In this study, we propose an extended Kalman filter approach for the estimation of the human head tissue conductivities in vivo by using electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Since the relationship between the surface potentials and conductivity distribution is nonlinear, the proposed algorithm first linearizes the system and applies extended Kalman filtering. By using a three-compartment realistic head model obtained from the magnetic resonance images of a real subject, a known dipole assumption and 32 electrode positions, the performance of the proposed method is tested in simulation studies and it is shown that the proposed algorithm estimates the tissue conductivities with less than 1% error in noiseless measurements and less than 5% error when the signal-to-noise ratio is 40 dB or higher. We conclude that the proposed extended Kalman filter approach successfully estimates the tissue conductivities in vivo.
