    Au/TiO2 nanorod-based Schottky-type UV photodetectors
    (Wiley, 2012-10-12) Karaagac, H.; Aygun, L. E.; Parlak, M.; Ghaffari, M.; Bıyıklı, Necmi; Okyay, Ali Kemal
    TiO2 nanorods (NRs) were synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) pre-coated glass substrates using hydrothermal growth technique. Scanning electron microscopy studies have revealed the formation of vertically-aligned TiO2 NRs with length of similar to 2 mu m and diameter of 110128 nm, homogenously distributed over the substrate surface. 130 nm thick Au contacts using thermal evaporation were deposited on the n-type TiO2 NRs at room temperature for the fabrication of NR-based Schottky-type UV photodetectors. The fabricated Schottky devices functioned as highly sensitive UV photodetectors with a peak responsivity of 134.8 A/W (lambda = 350 nm) measured under 3 V reverse bias.

    A baseball-bat-like CdTe/TiO2 nanorods-based heterojunction core–shell solar cell
    (Elsevier, 2013) Karaagac, H.; Parlak, M.; Aygun, L. E.; Ghaffari, M.; Bıyıklı, Necmi; Okyay, Ali Kemal
    Rutile TiO2 nanorods on fluorine-doped thin oxide glass substrates via the hydrothermal technique were synthesized and decorated with a sputtered CdTe layer to fabricate a core-shell type n-TiO2/p-CdTe solar cell. Absorbance spectrum verified the absorption contribution of both TiO2 and CdTe to the absorption process. The solar cell parameters, such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, fill factor and power conversion efficiency were found to be 0.34 V, 1.27 mA cm-2, 28% and 0.12%, respectively. .
