Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 41Synthesis and Characterization of Mg2b2<(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2005) Qasrawi, AF; Kayed, TS; Mergen, A; Gürü, MMagnesium borate of the form Mg2B2O5 has been prepared and its structural and thermal properties were studied using X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. An investigation of the electrical and optical properties of Mg2B2O5 system has been carried out. The electrical resistivity of the sample was measured in the temperature range of 170-400 K. The data analysis revealed an extrinsic nature of the conductivity with two impurity levels located at 0.13 and 0.71 eV in the temperature ranges of 170-230 K and 240-400 K, respectively. The optical transmission and reflection was recorded at 300 K in the incident photon energy range of 3.0-6.0 eV. The absorption coefficient data analysis revealed an indirect optical energy band gap of 4.73 eV. In addition, two impurity levels located at 3.43, and 4.49 eV were observed in the absorption spectra. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

ZnPc thin films are observed to exhibit deformed crystal structure associated with remarkable enhancement in the light absorbability by 21 times at 2.62 eV and by 173 times in the near-infrared (NIR) region of light upon replacement of glass by transparent Mn substrates. The Mn layer also causes a redshift in the energy bandgap, allows generation of free carrier absorption process and increases the dielectric constant by more than 169% in the NIR region. The interaction between the manganese substrates with the organic ZnPc thin layers decreases the free holes density, widens the plasmon frequency range, and improves the drift mobility of holes. The nonlinear dielectric response with the highly improved light absorbability in the NIR range of light nominates the Mn/ZnPc thin films for optoelectronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Structural and Dielectric Properties of Ba1-x< Solid Solutions(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2021) Qasrawi, A. F.; Sahin, Ethem Ilhan; Abed, Tamara Y.; Emek, MehribanHerein, lanthanum doping effects on the structural, dielectric, and electrical properties of Ba1-xLax(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (BZN) solid solutions are focused upon. The La contents which are varied in the range of 0.02-0.20 exhibit a solubility limit of x = 0.02. Although minor phases of Ba5Nb4O15 and Ba3LaNb3O12 appear for samples doped with La contents of x = 0.05 and x = 0.10, they play no remarkable role for the enhanced structural and dielectric properties of BZN. The La doping content of x = 0.02 succeeds in increasing the crystallite size by 51.16% and lowering the microstrain by 34.18% and defect concentration by 63.10%. La-doped BZN ceramics display higher values of relative density and electrical conductivity. The analyses of the dielectric spectra as a function of temperature display dielectric relaxation behavior above 120 degrees C. In the temperature range of 20-120 degrees C, La doping changes the temperature coefficient of dielectric constants from +30 ppm degrees C-1 in pure samples to -341 ppm degrees C-1 in samples doped with La contents of x = 0.10. The enhancements in structural parameters, density values, and dielectric responses that are achieved via La doping make BZN ceramics more suitable for electronic device fabrication.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Thickness and Annealing Effects on the Structural and Optical Conductivity Parameters of Zinc Phthalocyanine Thin Films(inst Materials Physics, 2020) Alharbi, S. R.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Khusayfan, N. M.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringIn this work, the effects of the thin film thicknesses on the structural, optical absorption, energy band gap, dielectric spectra and optical conductivity parameters of the Zinc phthalocyanine thin films are considered. Thin films of ZnPc of thicknesses of 50-600 nm which are coated onto glass substrates are observed to exhibit amorphous nature of growth. The polycrystalline monoclinic ZnPc phase of the films is obtained via annealing the films at 200 degrees C in a vacuum atmosphere. Increasing the ZnPc films thickness shrunk the energy band gap in the B- and Q- bands and decreased both of the optical conductivities and free holes density in the Q-band. The increase in the film thickness is also observed to decrease the plasmon frequency and the drift mobility of holes in the films. The highest dielectric constant is obtained for films of thicknesses of 100 nm. The annealing process enhanced the optical absorption, redshifts the energy band gap value and the critical energy of the absolute maxima of dielectric constant. In addition, while the heat treatment enhanced both of the scattering times at femtosecond level and the drift mobility, it reduced the free holes density, and the plasmon frequency.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Effect of Lithium Nanosandwiching on the Structural, Optical and Dielectric Performance of Moo3(Elsevier, 2019) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.In this article, we discuss the effects of lithium nanosheets on the structural, optical, dielectric and optical conductivity parameters of the MoO3 films. The nanosandwiching of Li layers between two layers of MoO3 of thicknesses larger than 20 nm induced the crystallization process of the amorphous MoO3. Namely, MoO3 thin films that are nanosandwiched with Li sheets of thicknesses larger than 50 nm, exhibit structural phase transitions from hexagonal to monoclinic and reveals larger crystallite sizes. The possible formation of Li2O at the MoO3/Li/MoO3 interfaces is simulated and discussed. Optically, the Li nanosandwiching is observed to enhance the light absorbability by 11.0 times at 2.0 eV and successfully engineered the energy bands gap in the range of 3.05-0.45 eV. It also enhances the dielectric performance. In addition, relatively thick layers of lithium (200 nm) succeeds in converting the conductivity type from n-to p-type. The modeling of the dielectric spectra in accordance with the Drude- Lorentz approach have shown that the presence of Li in the structure of MoO(3 )significantly increases the drift mobility values of electrons from 5.86 to 11.40 cm(2)/V. The plasmon frequency range for this system varies in the frequency domain of 0.32-5.94 GHz. The features of MoO3/Li/MoO3 interfaces make them attractive for thin film transistor technology as optical receivers being promising for use in optical communications.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Design and Characterization of Moo3 Heterojunctions(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.In this work, the morphological, compositional, structural, optical and dielectric properties of CdSe which are deposited onto glass and onto MoO3 thin film substrates are investigated. The use of MoO3 as substrate for the growth of CdSe is observed to increase the lattice parameters of the hexagonal unit cell of CdSe and decreases the values of grain size and strain. It also forms band tails of width of 0.20 eV in the band gap of CdSe. The optical analysis has shown that the MoO3/CdSe interfacing results in blue shift in the energy band gap of CdSe and also result in large conduction and valence band of sets of values of 2.12 and 0.94 eV, respectively. The dielectric spectral analysis with the help of Prude-Lorentz approaches for optical conduction, revealed an enhancement in the drift mobility of charge carriers from 15.69 to 39.30 cm(2)/V as a response to the incident electromagnetic field. The free carrier density of the MoO3/CdSe being of the order of 10(17) cm(-3) with the large valence and conduction band offsets and the sufficiently large drift mobility nominates the MoO3/CdSe heterojunctions as an effective component of optoelectronic technology including thin film transistors.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Structural and Electrical Performance of Moo3 Films Designed as Microwave Resonators(inst Materials Physics, 2020) Al Garni, S. E.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Alharbi, S. R.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringIn this work, the effect of the insertion of lithium slabs of thicknesses of 50 nm between stacked layers of MoO3 is considered. Stacked layers of MoO3 comprising lithium slabs are prepared by the thermal evaporation technique onto Au substrates under vacuum pressure of 10(-5) mbar. The effects of Li slabs are explored by the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, current-voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy techniques in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80 GHz. While the presence of Li slabs did not alter the amorphous nature of structure, it forced the growth of rod-like grains of diameters of 100-160 nm and lengths of 1.5 mu m. Electrically, the presence of Li in the samples enhanced the rectifying properties of the devices and force reverse to forward current ratios larger than 60 times. Li slabs also controlled the negative capacitance effect and resonance -antiresonance regions in the Au/MoO3/MoO3/C stacked layers. While the Au/MoO3/MoO3/C devices displayed high conductance and low impedance values in the studied frequency domain, the Au/MoO3/Li/MOO3/C devices exhibited low conductance and high impedance mode in the frequency domain of 0.01-0.59 GHz. It is also found that the presence of Li slabs improved the performance of the devices through driving it to exhibit lower reflection coefficient and high return loss values near 0.80 GHz. The features of the devices nominate them for use as RF-Microwave traps or resonators.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Crystal Data and Indirect Optical Transitions in Tl2ingase4< Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The room temperature crystal data and the optical properties of the Bridgman method grown Tl2InGaSe4 crystals are reported and discussed. The X-ray diffraction technique has revealed that Tl2InGaSe4 is a single phase crystal of monoclinic structure. The unit cell lattice parameters, which were recalculated from the X-ray data, are found to be a = 0.77244 nm, b = 0.64945 nm, c = 0.92205 nm and beta = 95.03 degrees. The temperature dependence of the optical band gap of Tl2InGaSe4 single crystal in the temperature region of 290-500 K has also been investigated. The absorption coefficient was calculated from the transmittance and reflectance data in the incident photon energy range of 1.60-2.10 eV. The absorption edge is observed to shift toward lower energy values as temperature increases. The fundamental absorption edge corresponds to indirect allowed transition energy gap of 1.86 eV that exhibited a temperature coefficient gamma = -3.53 x 10(-4) eV/K. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

F.In this study we have explored some of the properties of Yb/MoO3/(C, Yb) thin films as a multifunctional optoelectronic device. While the MoO3 films which are deposited onto glass substrate are found to be of amorphous nature, the Yb metal induced the growth of orthorhombic phase of MoO3. The films are high transparent and exhibit energy band gap value of 3.0 eV which make it sensitive to light signals in the near ultraviolet range of light. In addition, the frequency dependent capacitance-voltage characteristics of Yb/MoO3/(C,Yb) structure display pronounced accumulation, depletion and inversion regions that nominate it for use as tunable metal-oxide-semiconductor MOS device. The physical parameters including the built in voltage, barrier height, flat band and threshold voltages of the MOS capacitors are also determined. Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics displayed high rectification ratio that could reach 1.26 x 10(4) at biasing voltage of 0.5 V nominating the Yb/MoO3/C device for use as electronic switches. On the other hand, the impedance spectroscopy analysis in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80 GHz, have shown that the Yb/MoO3/Yb structures are more appropriate for microwave applications than Yb/MoO3/C device. The microwave cutoff frequency for the Yb sandwiched MoO3 exceeds 140 GHz. The return loss for the Yb/MoO3/Yb reaches 26 dB at 1.8 GHz. These values are attractive as they suit microwave low/high pass band fillers.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Acoustic Phonons Scattering Mobility and Carrier Effective Mass in In6s7< Crystals(Elsevier Science Sa, 2006) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.Systematic dark electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient measurements have been carried out in the temperature range of 170-320 K on n-type In6S7 crystals. The analysis of the electrical resistivity and carrier concentration reveals the intrinsic type of conduction with an average energy band gap of similar to 0.75 eV The carrier effective masses of the conduction and valence bands were calculated from the intrinsic temperature-dependent carrier concentration data and were found to be 0.565m(0) and 2.020m(0), respectively. The temperature-dependent Hall mobility was observed to follow the mu alpha T-3/2 law and was analyzed assuming the domination of acoustic phonons scattering. The acoustic phonons scattering mobility was calculated from the crystal's structural data with no assumptions. The experimental Hall mobility data of In6S7 crystals coincides with the theoretical acoustic phonons scattering mobility data with acoustic deformation potential of 6.4 eV. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
