An array of surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates based on plasmonic lenses
(Wiley, 2012-10-01)An array of ring-shaped holes is prepared from silver thin films using electron beam lithography. The optimal conditions for high performance as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate are investigated. Either ... -
Cyclodextrin functionalized nanofibers via electrospinning
(Bilkent University, 2014)Electrospinning is a commonly studied and widely applied technique for generating nanofibers, with a diameter ranging from several tens of nanometers to a few micrometers. The low-cost, simple set-up, relatively high ... -
Dynamic relationship between precious metals
(2013)We use a relatively new approach to endogenously detect the volatility shifts in the returns of four major precious metals (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) from 1999 to 2013. We reveal that the turbulent year of 2008 ... -
Dynamic tuning of plasmon resonance in the visible using graphene
(The Optical Society, 2016)We report active electrical tuning of plasmon resonance of silver nanoprisms (Ag NPs) in the visible spectrum. Ag NPs are placed in close proximity to graphene which leads to additional tunable loss for the plasmon resonance. ... -
Effect of solvent refractive index on the surface plasmon resonance nanoparticle optical absorption
(2007)Optical properties of plasmon coupled silver and gold nanoparticles were studied as a function of the refractive index of the surrounding medium. Our studies confirmed that the effect of changes in the refractive index of ... -

Electroluminescence efficiency enhancement in quantum dot light-emitting diodes by embedding a silver nanoisland layer
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015)A colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) is reported with substantially enhanced electroluminescence by embedding a thin layer of Ag nanoislands into hole transport layer. The maximum external quantum efficiency ... -
Enhanced optical characteristics of light emitting diodes by surface plasmon of Ag nanostructures
(SPIE, 2011)We investigated the surface plasmon coupling behavior in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells at 460 nm by employing Ag nanostructures on the top of a roughened p-type GaN. After the growth of a blue light emitting diode ... -
Enhanced photoresponse of conformal TiO2/Ag nanorod array-based Schottky photodiodes fabricated via successive glancing angle and atomic layer deposition
(AVS Science and Technology Society, 2015)In this study, the authors demonstrate a proof of concept nanostructured photodiode fabrication method via successive glancing angle deposition (GLAD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The fabricated metal-semiconductor ... -
Enhancement of plasmon resonances in the wave scattering by finite grids of circular silver wires
(IEEE, 2010-09)Using the field expansions in local coordinates and addition theorems for cylindrical functions, we consider the problem of the H-polarized plane wave scattered by a finite chain of circular wires. The absorption and ... -
Evaluate of braze joint strength and microstructure characterize of titanium-CP with Ag-based filler alloy
