    In this research, Mg-doped hematite (α-Fe2O3) thin films with different Mg-doping concentrations were synthesized on glass substrates using the direct current (DC) and radio frequency (RF) magnetron co-sputtering technique, and the changes of some physical properties due to the concentration of the dopant were investigated. The optical, structural, morphological, and elemental properties of the obtained Mg-doped α-Fe2O3 thin films were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, UV–Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD analysis revealed that the investigated thin films have a rhombohedral crystal structure. The deposition of films at different DC sputtering voltages caused significant variations in stoichiometry and nanostructure. The thin films' band gap energy values were estimated based on absorption measurements, and results ranged from 2.15 eV to 2.69 eV. Raman peaks were observed between 218 cm−1 and 1305 cm−1. The thin films exhibit uniform surface morphology throughout the substrate according to the SEM images. The low RMS roughness values obtained from AFM images showed that the surfaces of Mg:Fe2O3 thin films are smooth. The Mg-doped α-Fe2O3 thin film doped by 150 W DC voltage exhibited a good gas-sensing response at 300 °C. A remarkably quick response/recovery time was achieved.

    Analysis of optical, structural, and morphological properties of a Ti-doped α-Fe2O3 thin film produced through RF and DC magnetron Co-sputtering

    In this study, a Titanium (Ti) doped α-Fe2O3 (hematite) thin layer was synthesized onto a glass substrate, employing the simultaneous DC and RF magnetron sputtering method. The investigation focused on examining specific physical properties of the film. The optical, structural, morphological, and elemental features of the resulting Ti-doped α-Fe2O3 thin film were characterized using different characterization techniques. The XRD studies indicated a rhombohedral crystal structure in the studied thin film. The calculation of the Eg value for the thin film, based on absorption measurements, resulted in a value of 2.19 eV. Raman peaks were identified within the range of 218 cm−1 to 1300 cm−1. According to SEM images, the thin film exhibited a uniform surface morphology across the substrate. AFM images revealed a low root mean square (RMS) roughness value, indicating a smooth Ti:Fe2O3 thin film surface.

    Theoretical and experimental validation gamma shielding properties of B2O3-ZnO-MgO-Bi2O3 glass system

    Kaky, Kawa M.; Sayyed, M. I.; Khammas, Abbas; Kumar, Ashok; Sakar, Erdem; Abdalsalam, Alyaa H.; Sakar, Betul Ceviz; Alim, Bunyamin; Mhareb, M. H. A.

    In the present work, we fabricated a series of six glasses to be utilized in the field of radiation shielding application. Glasses have been synthesized using a melt-quenching ordinary technique. In this work, we investigated the structural properties of these glasses using Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, optical properties have been studied in the present work. The radiation attenuation ability for the present samples was also investigated and measured using transmission geometry between 81 and 964.1 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient was measured and the results were validated by the WinXcom program. Also, radiation protection efficiency (RPE) was evaluated and discussed in terms of photon energy and Bi2O3 concentration. From RPE curve, we found that the fabricated glasses can be used as effective shielding materials especially for the low energies (81-383 keV). The half value layer also was calculated and the results of this parameter showed that S6 (contains 60 mol% of Bi2O3) has the higher probability of the interaction with gamma photons, leading to less number of photons transmitted this sample and thus better photon attenuator.

    Vertically oriented graphene nano-sheets grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique at low temperature

    Bayram, Ozkan; Simsek, Onder

    In this study, it was aimed to obtain vertically-oriented graphene nano-sheets (VGNs) on copper foils using CH 4 gas as the precursor material by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. VGNs were obtained at 50 W, 75 W and 100 W Radio Frequency (RF) powers by this technique and the effect of RF power on the morphological structure of graphene layers was investigated. VGNs were also analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The SEM images showed that the VGNs became more tightly packed with the increase of RF power and thus these coating parameters had a significant effect on the morphological structure. WCA analyzes for VGNs were also performed and it was found that VGNs obtained at 100 W RF power had higher contact angle value than the other RF powers. These VGNs, which have both large surface area and optically transparent, are thought to be materials that have the potential to be used in supercapacitors and solar cells.

    The role of cobalt doping on the optical and structural properties of Mn 3 O 4 nanostructured thin films obtained by SILAR technique

    Bayram, Ozkan; İgman, Erdal; Guney, Harun; Simsek, Onder

    Cobalt doped manganese oxide thin films (Mn 3 O 4 :Co) were successfully deposited on soda lime glass substrates using SILAR technique. Mn 3 O 4 :Co thin films were characterized using XRD, SEM, Uv–VIS and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD spectra showed that thin films had substantially Hausmannite crystal structure. The preferential orientation of the pure and 0.5 at.% Co doped manganese oxide thin films (Mn 3 O 4 ) was (002), but with increasing Co doping, it was detected that this preferential orientation shift towards the (211) plane. The absorbance, transmittance and optical band gap of the Mn 3 O 4 :Co thin films were determined using Uv–Vis spectroscopy and these properties of the thin films differed considerably due to cobalt doping. The optical band gap of pure Mn 3 O 4 thin films was 2.00 eV, but on the other hand, due to the Co doping this value increased before and then decreased slightly. Optical transmittance of Mn 3 O 4 :Co films increased from 60% to 72% with the effect of Co doping. A1g mode, which is the characteristic vibration peak of Mn 3 O 4 films, was confirmed for pure and doped Mn 3 O 4 thin films at a wavelength of 658 nm.
