AVBVICVII ferroelectrics as novel materials for phononic crystals
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2017) Palaz S.; Oltulu, O.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
In 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.

BaTiO3 and TeO2 based gyroscopes for guidance systems: FEM analysis
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016) Ozer, Z.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
This 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.

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, Ekmel
The 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.

Growth and characterization of nanocrystalline SrTiOx films: room temperature deposition using RF sputtering system in a pure argon environment
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-05) Bayrak, Türkan; Goldenberg, Eda
We report a comprehensive description of the structure, optical and electrical properties of asdeposited and annealed SrTiOx (STO) thin films. Nanocrystalline STO films were deposited on p-type Si (1 0 0) and UV-grade fused silica substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature in a pure argon environment. Well adhered and transparent films with very smooth surfaces were obtained. As-deposited films showed 70% transparency in the visible spectrum, transparency increased to 77% after annealing at 700 °C. The direct and indirect optical band gaps were found to be 2.88 eV and 2.44 eV, for as-deposited films. For annealed films, indirect band gap increased to 2.57 eV while the direct optical band gap value remained constant. Upon annealing, the refractive indices (n) of the films decreased from 2.36 to 2.32. Ag/STO/p-Si device structures were also fabricated and characterized by current-voltage, capacitance-voltage and dielectric measurements. The calculated values are compared with experimental data from the literature and discussed in terms of device performances. A butterfly loop-type hysteresis curve was observed for the voltage-dependent capacitance measurement in annealed thin film devices. Dielectric constants were calculated as 31.7 and 57.4 for as-deposited and annealed films at 100 kHz, respectively. Charge storage capacity was found to be >4.5 μC cm-2 for as-deposited and 3.5 μC cm-2 for annealed films.

Modeling and simulation of the ferroelectric based micro gyroscope: FEM analysis
(Taylor and Francis, 2013-09-23) Ozer, Z.; Mamedov, Amirullah M.; Özbay, Ekmel
This paper presents the design and modeling of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) on the ternary ferroelectric compounds (PZT) based by using finite element model (FEM) simulation. The conceptual framework establishes five steps to perform the critical analysis: design a novel structure, define the failure mechanisms under the given conditions, analyze different vibrations, analyze the operation principle, and detect resonance modes. In addition, MEMS failure modes were analyzed under different scenarios and the obtained results discussed. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Optical, electronic, and elastic properties of some A5B6C7 ferroelectrics (A=Sb, Bi; B=S, Se; C=I, Br, Cl): first principle calculation
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2017) Koc, H.; Palaz S.; Mamedov, A. M.; Özbay, Ekmel
In present paper, we focus on the structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties for the A5B6C7(A = Sb, Bi; B = Te, Se; S; C = I, Br, Cl) compounds using the density functional methods in generalized gradient approximation. The lattice parameters, mechanical properties, electronic bands structures and the partial densities of states corresponding to the band structures, and optical properties are presented and analysed. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.
