    Optical Properties of Tlgaxin1-x< Mixed Crystals (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1) by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Transmission, and Reflection
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xSe2-mixed crystals (0.5 <= x <= 1) were studied for the first time by spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The spectral dependence of the components of the complex dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient were revealed using an optical model. The interband transition energies in the studied samples were found from the analysis of the second-energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric function. The effect of the isomorphic cation substitution (indium for gallium) on critical point energies in TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals was established. Moreover, the absorption edge of TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 nm. The analysis of absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions. It was found that the energy band gaps decrease with the increase of indium content in the studied crystals.

    Thermally Controlled Band Gap Tuning in Cuo Nano Thin Films for Optoelectronic Applications
    (indian Assoc Cultivation Science, 2024) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Temperature dependency of band gap in CuO nano thin films has been investigated by virtue of transmission experiments at different temperatures. Structural and morphological characterization were achieved using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. Analysis on the XRD diffractogram revealed the presence of monoclinic structure for the CuO. Average crystallite size was determined as 17.8 nm. Absorption characteristics in between 10 and 300 K were presented in the wavelength range of 360-1100 nm. The band gap of the CuO was found to be similar to 2.17 eV at 300 K using Tauc and spectral derivative methods. This value increased to similar to 2.24 eV at 10 K. Both methods showed that the band gap extended with decreasing temperature. Temperature dependency of the band gap was studied using Varshni relation. The band gap at absolute temperature, variation of the band gap with temperature and Debye temperature were calculated as 2.242 +/- 0.002 eV, - 5.4 +/- 0.2 x 10(-4) eV/K and 394 +/- 95 K, respectively.

    Low Temperature Thermoluminescence of Quaternary Thallium Sulfide Tl4inga3<
    (indian Assoc Cultivation Science, 2015) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Bulur, E.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Thermoluminescence measurements have been carried out on Tl4InGa3S8 single crystals in the temperature range of 10-300 K at various heating rates. The observed thermoluminescence spectra have been analyzed applying many methods like curve fitting, initial rise, peak shape and heating rate methods. Thermal cleaning method has been performed on the observed thermoluminescence glow curve to separate the overlapped peaks. Three distinctive trapping centers with activation energies of 13, 44 and 208 meV have been revealed from the results of the analysis. Heating rate dependence and traps distribution investigations have been also undertaken on the most intensive peak. The thermoluminescence mechanisms in the observed traps have been attributed to first order kinetics (slow retrapping) on the strength of the consistency between theoretical assumptions for slow retrapping process and experimental outcomes.

    Low Temperature Thermoluminescence Behaviour of Y2o3< Nanoparticles
    (Elsevier, 2019) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Y2O3 nanoparticles were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) experiments. TL glow curve recorded at constant heating rate of 0.4 K/s exhibits seven peaks around 19, 62, 91, 115, 162, 196 and 215 K. Activation energies and characteristics of traps responsible for observed curves were revealed under the light of results of initial rise analyses and T-max-T-stop experimental methods. Analyses of TL curves obtained at different stopping temperatures resulted in presence of one quasi-continuously distributed trap with activation energies increasing from 18 to 24 meV and six single trapping centers at 49, 117, 315, 409, 651 and 740 meV. Activation energies of all revealed centers were reported in the present paper. Structural characterization of Y2O3 nanoparticles was accomplished using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy measurements. (C) 2019 Chinese Society of Rare Earths.

    Analysis of Temperature-Dependent Transmittance Spectra of Zn0.5in0.5< (zis) Thin Films
    (Springer, 2019) Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.
    Temperature-dependent transmission experiments of ZnInSe thin films deposited by thermal evaporation method were performed in the spectral range of 550-950nm and in temperature range of 10-300K. Transmission spectra shifted towards higher wavelengths (lower energies) with increasing temperature. Transmission data were analyzed using Tauc relation and derivative spectroscopy. Analysis with Tauc relation was resulted in three different energy levels for the room temperature band gap values of material as 1.594, 1.735 and 1.830eV. The spectrum of first wavelength derivative of transmittance exhibited two maxima positions at 1.632 and 1.814eV and one minima around 1.741eV. The determined energies from both methods were in good agreement with each other. The presence of three band gap energy levels were associated to valence band splitting due to crystal-field and spin-orbit splitting. Temperature dependence of the band gap energies were also analyzed using Varshni relation and gap energy value at absolute zero and the rate of change of gap energy with temperature were determined.

    Temperature-Dependent Band Gap Characteristics of Bi12sio20< Single Crystals
    (Amer inst Physics, 2019) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.
    Bi12SiO20 single crystals have attracted interest due to their remarkable photorefractive characteristics. Since bandgap and refractive index are related theoretically to each other, it takes much attention to investigate temperature dependency of bandgap energy to understand the behavior of photorefractive crystals. The present study aims at investigating structural and optical characteristics of photorefractive Bi12SiO20 single crystals grown by the Czochralski method. The structural characterization methods indicated that atomic composition ratios of constituent elements were well-matched with the chemical compound Bi12SiO20, and grown crystals have a cubic crystalline structure. Optical properties of crystals were investigated by room temperature Raman spectroscopy and temperature-dependent transmission measurements between 10 and 300 K. The analyses of transmittance spectra by absorption coefficient and derivative spectrophotometry techniques resulted in energy bandgaps decreasing from 2.61 to 2.48 eV and 2.64 to 2.53 eV as temperature was increased from 10 to 300 K. The Varshni model was applied to analyze temperature-bandgap energy dependency.

    Shallow Trapping Centers in Bi12geo20 Single Crystals by Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements
    (Elsevier, 2022) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Bi12GeO20 single crystals were investigated by thermally stimulated current (TSC) experiments performed in the temperature range of 10-290 K. Recorded TSC glow curve exhibited six distinctive peaks with maxima at around 90, 105, 166, 209, 246, 275 K. The analyses of the obtained glow curve were accomplished by curve fitting and initial rise methods. The analysis results were in good agreement that the TSC peaks appeared in the glow curve due to existence of trapping levels with activation energies of 0.10, 0.18, 0.23, 0.53, 0.68 and 0.73 eV. These trapping levels were estimated to be hole traps above valence band. The heating rate dependent TSC glow curves were also obtained for various rates between 0.30 and 0.45 K/s. The changes of TSC intensity, peak maximum temperature and full-widths-half-maximum values with heating rates were studied in detail. TSC intensity decreased and peak maximum temperature increased with increasing heating rate. Determination of defects and trapping/stimulation mechanism of those are significant for technological applications since local states in these materials take critical role for device performance.

    (Amer inst Physics, 2013) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Bulur, E.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The trap center(s) in Tl2Ga2S3Se single crystals has been investigated from thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in the temperature range of 10-300 K. Curve fitting, initial rise, and peak shape methods were applied to observed TL glow curve to evaluate the activation energy, capture cross section, and attempt-to-escape frequency of the trap center. One trapping center has been revealed with activation energy of 16 meV. Moreover, the characteristics of trap distribution have been studied using an experimental technique based on different illumination temperature. An increase of activation energy from 16 to 58 meV was revealed for the applied illumination temperature range of 10-25K. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

    Traps distribution in sol-gel synthesized ZnO nanoparticles
    (Elsevier, 2019) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The distribution of shallow traps within the sol-gel synthesized ZnO nanoparticles was investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) experiments in the 10-300 K temperature range. TL measurements presented two overlapped peaks around 110 and 155 K. The experimental technique based on radiating the nanoparticles at different temperatures (T-exc.) between 60 and 125 K was carried out to understand the trap distribution characteristics of peaks. It was observed that peak maximum temperature shifted to higher values and activation energy (E-t) increased as irradiating temperature was increased. The E-t vs. T-exc. presented that ZnO nanoparticles have quasi-continuously distributed traps possessing activation energies increasing from 80 to 171 meV. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Defect Characterization in Bi12geo20< Single Crystals by Thermoluminescence
    (Elsevier, 2021) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Sarigul, N.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Bi12GeO20 single crystal grown by Czochralski method was investigated in terms of thermoluminescence (TL) properties. TL experiments were performed for various heating rates between 1 and 6 K/s in the temperature region of 300-675 K. One TL peak with peak maximum temperature of 557 K was observed in the TL spectrum as constant heating rate of 1 K/s was employed. Curve fitting, initial rise and variable heating rate methods were applied to calculate the activation energy of trap level corresponding to this TL peak. Analyses resulted in a presence of one trap center having mean activation energy of 0.78 eV. Heating rate characteristics of revealed trap center was also explored and theoretically well-known behavior that TL intensity decreases and peak maximum temperature increases with heating rates was observed for the trap level. Distribution of trapping levels was studied by thermally cleaning process for different T-stop between 425 and 525 K. Quasi-continuously distributed trapping levels were revealed with mean activation energies ranging from 0.78 to 1.26 eV. Moreover, absorption analysis revealed an optical transition taking place between a defect level and conduction band with an energy difference of 2.51 eV. These results are in good agreement for the presence of intrinsic defects above valence band in Bi12GeO20 crystals.
