Determination of optical constants and temperature dependent band gap energy of GaS0.25Se0.75 single crystals
(National Institute of Optoelectronics, 2017) Isik,M.; Gasanly,N.; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; 15. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 01. Atılım University
Optical properties of GaS0.25Se0.75 single crystals were investigated by means of temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection experiments. Derivative spectrophotometry analysis showed that indirect band gap energies of the crystal increase from 2.13 to 2.26 eV as temperature is decreased from 300 to 10 K. Temperature dependence of band gap energy was fitted under the light of theoretical expression. The band gap energy change with temperature and absolute zero value of the band gap energy were found from the analyses. The Wemple-DiDomenico single effective oscillator model and Sellmeier oscillator model were applied to the spectral dependence of room temperature refractive index to find optical parameters of the GaS0.25Se0.75 crystal. Chemical composition of the crystal was determined using the energy dispersive spectral measurements.

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Bi12sio20 Sillenite Using First Principles and Nanoindentation
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Isik,M.; Surucu,G.; Gencer,A.; Gasanly,N.M.; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; 15. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 01. Atılım University
The mechanical and anisotropic elastic properties of Bi12SiO20 (BSO) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and nanoindentation. The calculated and experimentally observed XRD patterns of the compound were reported and the crystal structure of the BSO was determined to be cubic with the lattice constant of a = 1.025 nm. The second-order elastic constants and related polycrystalline elastic moduli (e.g. shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, linear compressibility and hardness) were calculated. The calculated elastic constants indicated that BSO is mechanically stable and exhibits anisotropic characteristics. Moreover, the directional dependencies of sound wave velocities were investigated in three dimensions. Pressure-dependent bulk modulus was plotted at temperatures between 0 and 800 K. Hardness and Young’s modulus were also determined by performing nanoindentation experiments on (222) and (631) planes of the BSO single crystal. The analyses of the experimental nanoindentation data resulted in hardness and Young’s modulus values of 7.2 and 97.0 GPa, respectively. The results of DFT and nanoindentation were discussed throughout the paper. The results of the present paper would provide valuable information on the mechanical behaviours of the BSO for the optoelectronic device applications. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
