Germanium alloys for optoelectronic devices
(Bilkent University, 2008)Silicon has been the backbone of the mainstream electronics of the last fifty years. It is however, used in conjunction with other matierals, mainly with its oxides and nitrides. Germanium, on the other hand, is also a ... -
Graphene based high frequency electronics
(Bilkent University, 2010)Recent advances in chemical vapor deposition of graphene on large area substrates stimulate a significant research effort in order to search for new applications of graphene in the field of unusual electronics such as ... -
Grating based plasmonic cavities
(Bilkent University, 2009)Surface plasmon polaritons are dipole carrying electromagnetic excitations occur- ing at metal-dielectric interfaces. Metallic periodic structures exhibit modi¯ed transmission and re°ection spectra owing to the interaction ... -
Grating loaded integrated optical cantilevers
(Bilkent University, 2010)Cantilever beams are the most important parts of standard scanning probe microscopy. In this work, an integrated optical approach to sense the deflection of a cantilever beam is suggested and realized. A grating coupler ... -
Gravitational waves from binary black hole systems in inspiralling phase
(Bilkent University, 2018-07)Binary black hole systems have three phases: inspiralling, merger and ringdown phases. This thesis is a review of methods developed to study the inspiralling phase analytically. Those methods include post Minkowskian ... -
Ground state energy of the fröhlich polaron as a function of dimensionality and the phonon coupling strength
(Bilkent University, 2018-09)We use the trial polaron wave function introduced by Devreese et al. [1] to estimate the ground state energies of the Fröhlich polaron over a broad range of the phonon coupling strength by a variational approach. We ... -
Ground-state properties of double-wire semiconducting systems
(Bilkent University, 1997)With the recent advances in nanometer-scale semiconductor device fabrication technology, it became experimentally possible to produce strongly confined electron systems. Quantum wires are among these systems, and are ... -
The growth, fabrication and characterization of high performance AI(formula)Ga(formula)N metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodes
(Bilkent University, 2006)High performance UV photodetectors have attracted unwarranted attention for various applications, such as in military, telecommunication, and biological imaging, as an AlxGa1-xN material system is also rather suitable ... -
Haldane phase in the bond-alternating spin-1/2 XXZ chain: DMRG and fermionization studies
(Bilkent University, 2018-12)In this thesis, the subject of study is the Haldane phase in bond - alternating XXZ chain with S =1/2. We firstly mapped our model to the fermionic chain by the use of standard Jordan-Wigner Transformation, which leads ... -
Hard spin mean field theory of 3D stacked-triangular-lattice system
(Bilkent University, 1994)Closed form solution of ‘Hard spin mean field theory’ is constructed and applied to ‘Three dimensional stacked-triangular-system’. The phase diagram of this system is examined. ‘Free energy’ is calculated to reveal ... -
High field transport phenomena in wide bandgap semiconductors
(Bilkent University, 2003)The Ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) method is widely used in the field of computational electronics related to the simulation of the state of the art devices. Using this technique our specific intention is to scrutinize the ... -
