Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Design and characterization of (Al, C)/p-Ge/p-BN/C isotype resonant electronic devices(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2015) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.In this work, a Ge/BN isotype electronic device that works as a selective microwave bandstop filter is designed and characterized. The interface is designed using a 50-m thick p-type BN on a 0.2-m thick p-type germanium thin film. The modeling of current-voltage characteristics of the Al/Ge/BN/C channel of the device revealed that the current is dominated by thermionic emission and by the tunneling of charged particles through energy barriers. The evaluation of the conduction parameters reflected a resonant circuit with a peak-to-valley current ratio of (PVCR) of 63 at a peak (V-p) and valley (V-v) voltages of 1.84 and 2.30V, respectively. The ac signal analysis of the Al/Ge/BN/C channel that was carried out in the frequency range of 1.0-3.0GHz displayed a bandstop filter properties with notch frequency (f(n)) of 2.04GHz and quality factor (Q) of 102. The replacement of the Al electrode by C through the C/Ge/BN/C channel caused the disappearance of the PVCR and shifted f(n) and Q to 2.70GHz and 100, respectively. The features of the Ge/BN device are promising as they indicate the applicability of these sensors in communication technology.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.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32Urine Analysis Using Ftir Spectroscopy: a Study on Healthy Adults and Children(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2021) Sarigul, Neslihan; Kurultak, Ilhan; Gokceoglu, Arife Uslu; Korkmaz, FilizUrine spectra from 108 healthy volunteers are studied by attenuated total refraction-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The spectral features are correlated with observable urine components. The variation of spectra within a healthy population is quantified and a library of reference spectra is constructed. Using the band assignments, these spectra are compared with both age-wise and gender-wise. Children show the least intensity variations compared to both adult groups. Young adults show the highest variation, particularly in the 1650 to 1400 cm(-1) and 1200 to 900 cm(-1) regions. These results indicate the importance of the size of the control group in comparative studies utilizing FTIR. Age-wise comparisons reveal that phosphate and sulfate excretion decreases with age, and that the variance of phosphate among individuals is higher with adults. As for gender-wise comparisons, females show a slightly higher citrate content at 1390 cm(-1) regardless of the age and they show a higher variance in the 1200 to 1000 cm(-1) region when compared to men.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Electrical Properties of Bi1.5znsb1.5< Pyrochlore Ceramics(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2003) Kayed, TS; Mergen, ABi1.5ZnSb1.5O7 pyrochlore samples were prepared by solid state reaction method. 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.

The optical data have revealed an indirect and direct allowed transition band gaps of 2.45 and 2.51 eV, an oscillator and dispersion energy of 5.04 and 26.45 eV, respectively, a static dielectric constant of 6.25 and static refractive index of 2.50. The dark Hall coefficient measurements have shown that the crystals exhibit a conductivity type conversion from p-type to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K. Deep donor and acceptor energy levels of 0.37/0.36 eV and 0.66 eV has been calculated from the temperature dependence of Hall coefficient and resistivity, and photocurrent measurements, respectively. The photocurrent decreases with decreasing temperature. The analysis of the photocurrent data have revealed that, the recombination mechanism is linear and supralinear above and below 290 K, respectively. (c) 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

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.

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: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Enhancements of Light Absorbability, Optical Conductivity, and Terahertz Cutoff Frequency in Stacked Layers of Selenium Via Ag Nanoslabs Sandwiching(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2019) Qasrawi, Atef F.; Abu Al Rob, Osama H.Herein, the effects of insertion of Ag layer of thickness of 100 nm between two stacked layers of selenium are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and optical spectrophotometry techniques. While the structural analysis shows the amorphous nature of growth of the stacked layers of Se, the morphology analysis shows the formation of nanorods and nanowires that exhibit lengths and diameters in the ranges of 1.5-2.5 mu m and 36-146 nm, respectively. The optical spectroscopy analysis shows that the presence of Ag between stacked layers of selenium enhances the light absorbability, increases the optical conductivity, and widens the range of the terahertz cutoff frequency. In addition, Ag layers increase the drift mobility from 15.07 to 35.64 cm(2) Vs(-1) and extend the plasmon frequency domain of stacked layers of selenium from 0.45-5.60 to 0.62-5.90 GHz. The calculated optical conductivity parameters and the spectral analysis of the terahertz cutoff frequency that vary in the range of 0.35-13.20 THz indicate the applicability of the Ag sandwiched selenium stacked layers as terahertz cavities suitable for visible-light communications as band-pass filters.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Dynamical and Passive Characteristics of the Ag/Tlgases Rf Resonators(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2012) Qasrawi, A. F.; Elayyat, S. M. S.; Gasanly, N. M.Ag contacts on the surface of the TlGaSeS single crystals are observed to exhibit Schottky characteristics. The ideality factor of the Ag/ TlGaSeS/Ag device decreased from 5.2 to 1.3 by the reduction of series resistance effect on the I-V characteristics. Cheung's model analysis revealed a series resistance and barrier height of 40.6 KO and 0.32 V, respectively. The device was run on the passive mode by injection with an alternating ac signal of variable frequency in the frequency range of 0-120 MHz and recoding the device capacitance. Several resonance-antiresonance positions in the range of 27-350 KHz were observed. The tangent loss factor of the passive device was observed to decrease with increasing frequency. It exhibited a very low loss value of the order of 10-5 at 120 MHz. Such property is a characteristic of high performance tunable device being suitable as processor clock controller.Article Influence of Photonic Excitations on the Electrical Parameters of Tlins2 Crystals(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2010) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The photo-excitation effect on the current transport mechanism in TlInS2 crystals has been studied by means of dark and illuminated conductivity measurements. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity analysis in the temperature region of 110-340 K revealed the domination of the thermionic emission and the thermally assisted variable range hopping (VRH) of charge carriers above and below 160 K, respectively. Above 160 K, the conductivity activation energies in the dark are found to be 0.28 and 0.15 eV in the temperature regions of 340-240 K and 230-160 K, respectively. In the temperature region of 110-150 K, the dark variable range hopping analysis revealed a density of localized states of 1.99x 10(22) cm(-3)eV(-1), an average hopping distance of 0.53 nm and an average hopping energy of 79.65 meV. When the sample was photo-excited, the values of the conductivity activation energies, the density of localized states near the Fermi level and the average hopping energy were observed to decrease sharply with increasing illumination intensity. On the other hand, the average hopping distance increased with rising illumination intensity. Such behaviours were attributed to the Fermi level shift and/or trap density reduction by electron-hole recombination. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
