Our department's Solid State Physics Research Laboratory, equipped with numerous experimental infrastructures such as an Electron Beam Evaporation System, MAGLEV-Magnetic Levitation Carrier, Thermal Evaporation System, Closed Space Sublimation (CSS), and High-Temperature Furnaces, facilitates studies focusing on the determination of electrical, magnetic, structural, surface, and optical properties of materials. In this context, current research is conducted on the production and characterization of metals/semiconductors, production and characterization of superconducting materials, and production and characterization of electronic devices. In addition to ongoing experimental studies, physical parameters of materials are also determined through theoretical modeling methods.
In our department's Sol-Gel Laboratory, experimental equipment allows for the coating of substrates with submicron thicknesses using the sol-gel coating method, which differs from traditional coating techniques by enabling the control of composition and achieving homogeneous coatings. The sol-gel method is used to produce thin films composed of various organic, inorganic, hybrid, and nanocomposite materials.
In the Thin Film Coating Laboratory, which is equipped with various experimental infrastructures such as a thermal evaporation system and a closed space sublimation system, thin films that form the basis of electronic device technology are produced and characterized.
In our department's Low-Temperature Physics Laboratory, experimental systems such as a spin coater, DTA/TGA, PPMS, and Metal Alloying System are used for various analyses. These include determining the phase transition temperatures of materials, thermal properties like mass loss/gain, and magnetic properties of materials. Additionally, thin films are produced and characterized using the spin coating method.
In our department's Ellipsometry Laboratory, optical and dielectric properties of thin films, particularly those used in solar cells, can be analyzed using ellipsometer and solar simulator systems.
