Investigation of Structural and Optical Characteristics of Thermally Evaporated Ga2se3< Thin Films
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-09) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
Ga2Se3 thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and structural, optical characteristics of the deposited thin films were investigated in the present study. X-ray diffraction pattern of the thin film exhibited one intensive and sharp peak associated with (111) plane of cubic crystalline structure of the compound. Energy dispersive spectroscopic analyses pointed out the atomic compositional ratio of the constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of Ga2Se3. The optical characteristics of thin film were studied by means of temperature-dependent transmission experiments carried out in between 10 and 300 K. The analyses to get band gap energies at applied temperatures were accomplished using absorption coefficient according to Tauc relation and derivative transmittance spectra. Absorption coefficient analyses end up with band gap energies increasing from 2.60 eV (room temperature) to 2.67 eV (10 K). The derivatives of transmittance spectra were also utilized for purpose and band gap energies were found very closer (max. +/- 0.02 eV deviation) to those of absorption coefficient analyses. Varshni and Fan models were applied to band gap energy vs. temperature plot and various optical parameters of Ga2Se3 thin film were determined.

Structural and Temperature-Tuned Optical Characteristics of Bi12geo20< Sillenite Crystals
(Elsevier, 2020-08) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.
Sillenite compounds exhibit unique photorefractive and electro-optic characteristics providing attractiveness to these materials in various optoelectronic applications. The present paper aims at investigating one of the members of this family. Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12GeO20 (BGO) were studied by means of x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and temperature-dependent transmittance measurements. Obtained transmission curves in the wavelength range of 350-1100 nm and at different applied temperatures between 10 and 300 K were employed to find out the absorption coefficient dependence on the photon energy. Tauc relation revealed the presence of an energy gap of 2.49 eV at room temperature. Extension of energy gap up to 2.57 eV due to decreased temperature down to 10 K was deduced by the analysis. In order to have reliable results, the energy gap value was corroborated by utilizing derivative spectral method and well consistency between both methods was indicated. Energy gap change with temperature was also discussed in the study using an empirical formula developed by Varshni. Energy gap at absolute zero and rate of band gap alteration with temperature were determined as 2.57 eV and -2.4 x 10(-4) eV K (- 1), respectively. Taking into account the previously reported studies on investigation of band gap characteristics of BGO, intrinsic Bi-Ge(3+) + V-O(+) defect could be responsible for the revealed energy value of 2.49 eV which is much lower than reported band gap energy of similar to 3.2 eV.

Temperature -Dependent Optical and Electrical Characterization of Cu-Ga Thin Films and Their Diode Characteristics on N-Si
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020-04) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.
In this paper, optical and electrical properties of thermally deposited Cu-Ga-S thin films were investigated using temperature-dependent optical transmission and electrical conductivity measurements. The analysis of the transmission spectra resulted in formation of three direct optical transitions due to the possible valence band splitting in the structure. The band gap values were calculated by means of absorption coefficient and incident photon energy was found in decreasing behavior as the temperature rises. The measured current-voltage values were used to extract the conductivity values which stand in the range of 1.73-2.62 (x104 O-1 cm-1) depending on the ambient temperature. These dark conductivity values were modeled by thermionic emission mechanism. The conductivity activation energies in the structures were calculated as 6.4, 14.5 and 40.7 meV according to the effects of grain boundary potentials. In addition, the films deposited on n-Si wafer showed a diode characteristic under the applied bias voltage between indium (In) front and silver (Ag) back contacts. From current-voltage measurements across the Si-based diode, about four orders of magnitude rectification was observed and the results were analyzed to determine the main diode parameters at dark and room temperature conditions.

(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020-05) Gullu, H. H.; Surucu, O.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Isik, M.; Ercelebi, C.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.
In the present work, CuZnSe2 (CZSe) thin films were co-deposited by magnetron sputtering of ZnSe and Cu targets. The structural analyses resulted in the stoichiometric elemental composition and polycrystalline nature without secondary phase contribution in the film structure. Optical and electrical properties of CZSe thin films were investigated using temperature-dependent optical transmission and electrical conductivity measurements. The band gap energy values were obtained using transmittance spectra under the light of expression relating absorption coefficient to incident photon energy. Band gap energy values were found in decreasing behavior from 2.31 to 2.27 eV with increase in temperature from 10 to 300 K. Temperature-band gap dependency was evaluated by Varshni and O'Donnell models to detail the optical parameters of the thin films. The experimental dark and photoconductivity values were investigated by thermionic emission model over the grain boundary potential. Room temperature conductivity values were obtained in between 0.91 and 4.65 ( x 10(-4) Omega(-1)cm(-1)) under various illumination intensities. Three different linear conductivity regions were observed in the temperature dependent profile. These linear regions were analyzed to extract the activation energy values.

Layered structured InSe has attracted remarkable attention due to its effective characteristics utilized especially in optoelectronic device technology. This point directs researchers to investigate optical properties of InSe in great detail. The temperature dependent band gap characteristics of InSe and analyses performed on this dependency have been rarely studied in literature. Here, temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection experiments were performed on InSe layered single crystals. The band gap energy was found around 1.22 eV at room temperature and 1.32 eV at 10 K. The temperature-gap energy dependency was analyzed using Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen models to reveal various optical parameters of the crystal. The structural characteristics; crystalline parameters like lattice constants, lattice strain, dislocation density and atomic compositions of InSe were also determined from the analyses of XRD and EDS measurements.
