Item Open Access AIBIIICVI 2 (A = Cu, Ag; B = Ga, In; C = S, Se, Te) based photonic crystal superlattices: optical properties(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2017) Simsek S.; Palaz S.; Akhundov, C.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelIn this study, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structures for the photonic structures based on AIBIIICVI 2 with a Fibonacci sequence that can act as a multi-wavelength birefringent filter. The filtering wavelengths are analyzed by the indices concerning the quasi-periodicity of a Fibonacci sequence and the average lattice parameter. The transmittances of filtering wavelengths can be tuned by varying structure parameters such as the lengths of poled domains, filling factor, and dispersion relation. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) technique, which implies a solution from Maxwell equation.Item Open Access AVBVICVII ferroelectrics as novel materials for phononic crystals(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2017) Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelIn the present work the acoustic band structure of a two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystal (PC) containing a semiconducting ferroelectric - AVBVICVII (A = Sb, Bi; B = S, Se, Te; C = I, Br, and Cl) was investigated theoretically and numerically by the plane-wave-expansion (PWE) method. Two-dimensional PC with square lattices composed of semiconducting ferroelectric cylindrical rods embedded in the organic/inorganic matrix is studied to find the existence of stop bands for the waves of certain energy. This phononic bandgap - forbidden frequency range - allows sound to be controlled in many useful ways in structures that can act as sonic filters, waveguides or resonant cavities. Phononic band diagram ω = ω(k) for a 2D PC was plotted versus the wavevector k along the Г-X-M-Г path in the square Brillouin zone (BZ). The band diagram shows four stop bands in the wide frequency range. The unusual properties of matrix and ferroelectric properties of AVBVICVII give us ability to control the wave propagation through the PC in over a wide frequency range. We study the 2D composites by solving the basic acoustic wave equation and use Bloch wave analysis to identify the band gaps.Item Open Access Band gap and optical transmission in the Fibonacci type one-dimensional A5B6C7 based photonic crystals(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015) Simsek S.; Koc, H.; Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelIn this work, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structure calculations for the photonic crystal structures (PCs) based on one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal. Here we use 1D A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based layers in air background. We have theoretically calculated photonic band structure and optical properties of A5B6C7(A:Sb; B:S,Se; C:I) based PCs. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) technique and the plane wave expansion method (PWE) which implies the solution of Maxwell equations with centered finite-difference expressions for the space and time derivatives. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

M.; Özbay, EkmelThe propagation of acoustic waves in two-dimensional sonic crystals (SC) is studied theoretically. Effects of elliptical rod orientations on the acoustic band gaps in periodic arrays of rigid solid rods embedded in a polar liquid are investigated. We have found that the pass bands and forbidden bands of the sonic crystals can be changed by utilizing the rotational anisotropy of the structure factor at different rotation angles of the scatterers. The plane wave expansion (PWE) method is used to calculate the band structure. The variation of the absolute band gap was also investigated as a function of any filling fraction at a fixed orientation of the elliptical columns. The gap-tuning effect can be controlled by the rotational asymmetry and eccentricity of the scatterers.Item Open Access BaTiO3 and TeO2 based gyroscopes for guidance systems: FEM analysis(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016) Ozer, Z.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelThis paper presents the design, modeling and finite element model simulation of a micro-electromechanical system based on the ternary ferroelectric compounds and paratellurite. The dynamic behavior of the sensor structure is described by the super position of its dominant vibration mode shapes. The resulting model still considers all the physical domains and is even able to capture nonlinear phenomena, such as the stress stiffening of constraint structures or frequency and stiffening caused by squeezed gas in the sensor cell. Process induced and thermally induced residual stresses and the resulting deformation of the transducer elements are considered. © 2016, © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Open Access Dynamic nonlinear optical processes in some oxygen-octahedra ferroelectrics: first principle calculations(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2015) Simsek S.; Koc, H.; Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelThe nonlinear optical properties and electro-optic effects of some oxygen-octahedra ferroelectrics are studied by the density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation (LDA) expressions based on first principle calculations without the scissor approximation. We present calculations of the frequency- dependent complex dielectric function and the second harmonic generation response coefficient over a large frequency range in tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The electronic linear electro-optic susceptibility is also evaluated below the band gap. These results are based on a series of the LDA calculation using DFT. The results for are in agreement with the experiment below the band gap and those for are compared with the experimental data where available. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Open Access Electron spectroscopy and the electronic structure of KNbO3: First principle calculations(Taylor & Francis Online, 2014) Simsek S.; Koc, H.; Trepakov, V. A.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelThe electronic structures of KNbO3were calculated within the density functional theory, and their evolution was analyzed as the crystal-field symmetry changes from cubic to rhombohedral via tetragonal phase. We carried out electron-energy loss spectroscopy experiments by using synchrotron radiation and compared the results with the theoretical spectra calculated within Density Functional Theory. The dominant role of the NbO6 octahedra in the formation of the energy spectra of KNbO3compound was demonstrated. The anomalous behavior of plasmons in ferroelectrics was exhibited by the function representing the characteristic energy loss in the region of phase transition. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Open Access Ferroelectric Based Photonic Crystal Cavity by Liquid Crystal Infiltration(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Karaomerlioglu, F.; Simsek S.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelA novel type of two-dimensional photonic crystal is investigated for it optical properties as a core-shell-type ferroelectric nanorod infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals. Using the plane wave expansion method and finite-difference time-domain method, the photonic crystal structure, which is composed of a photonic crystal in a core-shell-type ferroelectric nanorod, is designed for the square lattice and the hexagonal lattice. It has been used 5CB as a photonic crystal core, and LiNbO3 as a ferroelectric material.

M.; Özbay, EkmelIn this study, we present an investigation of the optical properties and band structures for the conventional and Fibonacci photonic crystals (PCs) based on some A5B6C7 ferroelectrics (SbSBr and BiTeCl). Here, we use one dimensional SbSBr and BiTeCl based layers in air background. We have theoretically calculated the photonic band structure and transmission spectra of SbSBr and BiTeCl based PC superlattices. The position of minima in the transmission spectrum correlates with the gaps obtained in the calculation. The intensity of the transmission depths is more intense in the case of higher refractive index contrast between the layers. In our simulation, we employed the finite-difference time domain technique and the plane wave expansion method, which implies the solution of Maxwell equations with centered finite-difference expressions for the space and time derivatives.Item Open Access Influence of crown margin design on the stress distribution in maxillary canine restored by all-ceramic crown: a finite element analysis(Korean Academy of Dental Sciences, 2015) Ozer, Z.; Kurtoglu, C.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelPurpose: To investigate the infl uence of crown margin design on the stress distribution and to localize critical sites in maxillary canine under functional loading by using three dimensional fi nite element analysis. Materials and Methods: The bite force of 100 N, 150 N, and 200 N was applied with an angulation of 45° to the longitudinal axis of tooth. Six models were restored with IPS e.max (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) with a different margin design. With lingual ledge and various thicknesses, three different core ceramics were designed in each model. Result: In the core ceramic, the maximum tensile stresses were at the labiocervical region. In the veneering ceramic the maximum tensile stresses were at the area where the force was applied in all models. Conclusion: Shoulder and chamfer margin types are acceptable for all-ceramic rehabilitations. A ledge on the core ceramic at cervical region may affect the strength of all-ceramic crowns.Item Open Access Mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of Bi2S3 and Bi2Se3 compounds: first principle investigations(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014) Koc, H.; Ozisik, H.; Deligoz, E.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelThe structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of orthorhombic Bi2S3 and Bi2Se3 compounds have been investigated by means of first principles calculations. The calculated lattice parameters and internal coordinates are in very good agreement with the experimental findings. The elastic constants are obtained, then the secondary results such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, and Debye temperature of polycrystalline aggregates are derived, and the relevant mechanical properties are also discussed. Furthermore, the band structures and optical properties such as real and imaginary parts of dielectric functions, energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons, and the effective optical dielectric constant have been computed. We also calculated some non-linearities for Bi2S3 and Bi2Se3 (tensors of elasto-optical coefficients) under pressureItem Open Access Mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of the A4B6 layered ferroelectrics: ab initio calculation(Wiley, 2015) Koc, H.; Simsek S.; Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelWe have performed a first principles study of the structural, elastic and electronic properties of orthorhombic SnS and GeS compounds using the density functional theory within the local density approximation. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, Debye temperature, and hardness have also been estimated in the present work. All of the calculated modulus and Poisson's ratio for SnS were less than the same parameters for GeS. Our calculations have discovered the large anisotropy of elastic parameters in the (100) and (010)-planes for both compounds. The band structures of orthorhombic SnS and GeS have been calculated along high symmetry directions in the first Brillouin zone (BZ). The calculation results for the band gap of Sn(Ge)S gave Eg = 0.256 eV (0.852 eV) and has an indirect character for an interband transition. The real and imaginary parts of dielectric functions and (by using these results) the optical constant such as energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant were calculated. All of the principal features and singularities of the dielectric functions for both compounds were found in the energy region between 2 eV and 20 eV. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

M.; Özbay, EkmelElectronic structure and optical properties of the CdXO3 and ZnXO3 (X˭Ge, Sn) compounds have been investigated based on density functional theory. According to the predictive results, reveal that the CdXO3 and ZnXO3 would be candidates for a high performance lead free optical crystal, which will avoid the environmental toxicity problem of the lead-based materials.Item Open Access Optical and magnetic properties of some XMnSb and Co2YZ compounds: ab initio calculations(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2017) Palaz S.; Koc, H.; Ozisik, H.; Deligoz, E.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, EkmelIn present work, our research is mainly focused on the electronic structures, optical, and magnetic properties of XMnSb (X = Ni, Cu, Pd), Co2YZ (Y = Ti; Z=Si, Ge, Sn), and Co2YZ (Y =Mn; Z=Al, Ga, Si) Heusler compounds by using ab initio calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. The calculations are performed by using the Vienna ab initio simulation package based on the density functional theory. The band structure of these Heusler alloys for majority spin and minority spin were calculated and the majority spin states cross the Fermi level and thus have the metallic character, while the minority spin states open the band gaps around the Fermi level and thus have the narrow-band semiconducting nature. We also find that these Heusler compounds have the indirect band gaps in the minority spin channel. The real and imaginary parts of dielectric functions and hence the optical functions such as energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant for XMnSb and Co2YZ compounds were also calculated. In addition, we also show the variations of the total magnetic moment per f.u. and minority spin gap width of these compounds with optimized lattice constants: minority spin gap width decreases with increasing the lattice constants. © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
