Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Nasser, H.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystal grown by the Czochralski method were investigated by virtue of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. XRD analysis indicated that the studied crystal possesses cubic structure with lattice parameters of a = 1.0107 nm. Spectral dependencies of several optical parameters like complex dielectric constant, refractive index, extinction and absorption coefficients were determined using ellipsometry experiments performed in the energy region of 1.2-6.2 eV. The energy band gap of Bi12SiO20 crystals was found to be 3.25 eV by utilizing absorption coefficient analysis. Moreover, critical point energies were calculated as 3.54, 4.02, 4.82 and 5.58 eV from analyses of the second energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric constant.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25Investigation of Optical Properties of Bi12geo20< Sillenite Crystals by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry and Raman Spectroscopy(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Bi12GeO20 (BGO) compound is one of the fascinating members of sillenites group due to its outstanding photorefractive and photocatalytic characteristics. The present paper aims at investigating optical properties of BGO crystals by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Bi12GeO20 single crystals grown by Czochralski method were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and the analyses showed that studied crystals have cubic crystalline structure. Raman spectrum exhibited 15 peaks associated with A, E and F modes. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurement data achieved in the energy region between 1.2 and 6.2 eV were used in the air/sample optical model to get knowledge about complex pseudodielectric constant, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction and absorption coefficients of the crystals. Spectral change of real and imaginary part of complex pseudodielectric constant were discussed in detail. Band gap energy of Bi12GeO20 single crystals was calculated to be 3.18 eV using absorption coefficient dependency on photon energy. Critical point energies at which photons are strongly absorbed were determined by utilizing the second energy derivative spectra of components of complex pseudodielectric function. Fitting of both spectra resulted in the presence of four interband transitions with energies of 3.49, 4.11, 4.67 and 5.51 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Study on Thermoluminescence of Tlins2 Layered Crystals Doped With Pr(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Praseodymium (Pr) doped TlInS2 crystals were studied by means of thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature with various heating rates. Detected TL signal exhibited glow curve consisting in overlapping two TL peaks at temperatures of 35 K (peak A) and 48 K (peak B) for 0.6 K/s heating rate. TL curve was analyzed with curve fitting and initial rise methods. Both of the applied methods resulted in consistent activation energies of 19 and 45 meV. The revealed trap levels were found to be dominated by mixed order of kinetics. Various heating rate dependencies of TL glow curves were also investigated and it was found that while peak A shows usual behavior, peak B exhibits anomalous heating rate behavior. Distribution of trap levels was explored using an experimental method called as T-max-T-stop method. Quasi-continuous distributions with increasing activation energies from 19 to 29 meV (peak A) and from 45 to 53 meV (peak B) were ascribed to trap levels. Effect of Pr doping on the TL response of undoped TlInS2 crystals was discussed in the paper.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Temperature Dependent Band Gap in Sns2x< (x=0.5) Thin Films(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.Structural and optical properties of SnS2xSe(2-2x) thin films grown by magnetron sputtering method were investigated for composition of x = 0.5 (SnSSe) in the present study. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods were used for structural characterization while temperature-dependent transmission measurements carried out at various temperatures in between 10 and 300 K were accomplished for optical investigations. X-ray diffraction pattern of studied composition presented peaks at positions which are between those of SnSe2 and SnS2. Transmittance spectra recorded at all applied temperatures were analyzed using well-known Tauc relation. Analyses revealed the direct band gap energy value of SnSSe thin films as 1.75 eV at room temperature. Change of band gap energy as a response to varying temperature were discussed in the study by utilizing Varshni relation. It was shown that variation of gap energy values was well-matched with the Varshni's empirical formula. Energy band gap at absolute zero and rate of change of band gap with temperature were found to be 1.783 eV and -2.1 x 10(-4) eV K-1, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 47Structural and Temperature-Dependent Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated Cds Thin Films(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Delice, S.; Parlak, M.; Gasanly, N. M.In this work, structural and temperature dependent optical properties of thermally evaporated CdS thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy experiments were carried out to characterize the thin films and obtain information about the crystal structure, atomic composition, surface morphology and vibrational modes. Temperature-dependent transmission measurements were performed in between 10 and 300 K and in the spectral range of 400-1050 nm. The analyses of transmittance spectra were accomplished by two different methods called as the absorption coefficient and the derivative spectrophotometry analyses. All evaluated band gap energy values at each studied temperature were in good agreement with each other depending on the applied analyses techniques. Room temperature gap energy values were found around 2.39 eV and 2.40 eV from absorption coefficient and derivative spectrophotometry analyses, respectively. Band gap energy depending on the sample temperature was studied under the light of two different models to investigate average phonon energy, electron phonon coupling parameter and the rate of change of band gap energy with temperature.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Investigation of Traps Distribution in Gas Single Crystals by Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Thermally stimulated current (TSC) investigations of p-GaS (gallium sulfide) single crystals grown by Bridgman method were achieved by virtue of consecutive experiments carried out at various heating rates in between 0.4 and 1.0 K/s in the temperature range of 10-280 K. One single TSC peak around 148 K and overlapped, incomplete peaks in the end limit temperature of the experiments were observed in the spectrum recorded at constant heating rate of 1.0 K/s. Individual peak was analyzed utilizing curve fitting method. Existence of one trapping level centered at 0.11 eV was revealed by the analyses. Heating rate dependency of obtained TSC curve was also studied and it was shown that TSC intensity decreased besides increase of peak maximum temperature with heating rate. Characteristics feature of trapping mechanism was investigated in detail by employing different stopping temperature between 50 and 110 K. Analyses on T-m-T-stop dependency resulted in a presence of quasi-continuously distributed traps with activation energies ranging from 0.11 to 0.55 eV. The revealed trap was thought to be arising from intrinsic defect possibly created by V-Ga or antisite S-Ga.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Growth and Temperature-Tuned Band Gap Characteristics of Ligd(moo4)2 Single Crystals for Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.LiGd(MoO4)2 has been investigated due to its optoelectronic applications, especially for development of lightemitting diodes. In the present paper, LiGd(MoO4)2 single crystals grown by Czochralski method was studied in terms of structural and temperature dependent optical properties. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystal crystallizes in a single phase tetragonal structure. Raman spectrum exhibited six distinguishable peaks around 207, 319, 397, 706, 756 and 890 cm-1. These peaks correspond to vibrational modes of free rotation, symmetrical stretching, symmetric bending, antisymmetric stretching and antisymmetric bending of (MoO4)2tetrahedron. Infrared transmittance spectrum had eight minima around 2114, 2350, 2451, 2854, 2929, 2960, 3545 and 3578 cm-1 which are due to multiphonon absorptions. Spectral change of transmittance curves at various temperature between 10 and 300 K was utilized to elucidate temperature effect on absorption characteristics. Optical band gap of the material was found using Tauc and spectral derivative methods. The band gap value was obtained as 3.09 eV at room temperature and this value increased to 3.22 eV with decreasing temperature down to 10 K. The detailed analysis on the temperature dependency of the band gap was applied by Varshni model. The band gap at 0 K and change of rate of the band gap were estimated as 3.23 eV and -1.45 x 10-3 eV/K, respectively. Room temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the crystal presented a peak around 709 nm which corresponds to red light emission. LiGd(MoO4)2 is a potential candidate for optoelectronic devices emitting red light.
