Abstract:
Liquid crystals are phases that exhibit properties between solids and liquids and have an important place in material science and technology. These materials combine the properties of both liquids and crystals thanks to the arrangement and freedom of movement of their molecules. In particular, thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals offer structures that can transition to different phases depending on temperature and solvent concentration. The mesophases exhibited by liquid crystals are classified according to their molecular arrangement. These mesophases play an important role especially in optoelectronic applications, sensors and biomimetic materials. Surfactants organize to form various lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) mesophases in the presence of water. In this thesis, Molybdenum trioxide films were synthesized using Liquid Crystal mesophases and these films were characterized using different characterization techniques. In addition, Liquid Crystal templated Zinc oxide thin films were synthesized in the same way and characterized using different characterization techniques. In addition, the effect of positively charged CTAB surfactant on the films was investigated for Zinc Oxide films. Band gap calculation of zinc oxide films with different thicknesses was performed with Tauc Plot. Also, one of the Metal Organic Frameworks, ZIF-8, was synthesized and characterized on Zinc oxide thin films.
