Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Analysis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Temperature-Tuned Bandgap Characteristics of Bi12tio20< Sillenite Single Crystals(Springer, 2021) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Bi12MO20 (M: Si, Ge, Ti, etc.) compounds are known as sillenites having fascinating photorefractive characteristics. The present paper reports the structural and optical characteristics of one of the members of this family, Bi12TiO20 single crystals, grown by Czochralski method. X-ray diffraction pattern of the crystal presented sharp and intensive peaks associated with planes of cubic crystalline structure with lattice constant of a = 1.0142 nm. The optical properties were studied by means of room temperature Raman and temperature-dependent transmission experiments at various temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Raman spectrum indicated peaks around 127, 162, 191, 219, 261, 289, 321, 497 and 537 cm(-1). The analyses of transmittance spectra indicated the increase of direct bandgap energy from 2.30 to 2.56 eV as temperature was decreased from room temperature to 10 K. The temperature-dependent bandgap characteristics of Bi12TiO20 were analyzed by means of Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen models. The analyses under the light of these models resulted in absolute zero bandgap energy of E-g(0) = 2.56(4) eV, rate of change of bandgap energy of gamma = - 1.11 x 10(-3) eV/K and average phonon energy of < E-ph & rang; = 8.6 meV.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Trapping Centers and Their Distribution in Tl2ingase4< Single Crystals by Thermally Stimulated Luminescence(Springer, 2014) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in Tl2InGaSe4-layered single crystals have been carried out in the temperature range of 10-200 K at various heating rates (0.2-1.0 K s(-1)) to get information about the characteristics of traps. Two TL overlapping glow peaks related to defect levels have been clearly observed. Thermal cleaning procedure was applied to the glow curves to separate overlapped peaks. Initial rise, peak shape, and heating rate methods were used to calculate the activation energies of the revealed traps. The energy values of 5 and 28 meV were evaluated for the peaks observed at low and high temperatures, respectively. Moreover, heating rate dependence and traps distribution analysis were also investigated on the curve obtained after thermal cleaning. The activation energies of the distributed trapping centers were found to be increasing from 29 to 151 meV with increasing the illumination temperature from 42 to 80 K.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Linear and Nonlinear Optical Characteristics of Pbmoo4 Single Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications(Springer, 2022) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.In the present paper, we studied linear and nonlinear optical properties of lead molybdate (PbMoO4) single crystals grown by Czochralski method. Raman measurement was performed in the range of 50-1000 cm(-1) and 11 active vibration modes were defined in the spectrum. The nature of the observed modes was discussed in detail. Optical absorption of the material was investigated utilizing room temperature transmission and reflection experiments in the spectral range of 360-1000 nm. Spectral changes of absorption coefficient, skin depth, refractive index, optical conductivity, and complex dielectric function of PbMoO4 crystals were studied. Absorption coefficient and optical conductivity exhibited strong increment around 3.0 eV with increasing photon energy. Cut-off wavelength was determined to be 390 nm from the skin depth spectrum. Tauc and derivative spectral analyses revealed the presence of direct bandgap with the energy of 3.05 eV. The static refractive index and dielectric constant were estimated as 2.25 and 5.08, respectively, using Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator model. Urbach energy was calculated to be 0.071 eV from the exponential dependence of absorption coefficient to photon energy. Dielectric constant increased to 5.42 with energy up to 2.60 eV and then it exhibited decreasing behavior. Second energy derivative analysis of imaginary dielectric function resulted in existence of a critical point at 3.19 eV. First- and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities and nonlinear refractive index were found to be 0.32, 1.9 x 10(-12) and 31.7 x 10(-12) esu, respectively. These results show that the material may be used in UV filter and sensor applications.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Material and Device Properties of Si-Based Cu0.5ag0.5< Thin-Film Heterojunction Diode(Springer, 2020) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Parlak, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) thin films were deposited on a glass substrate by sequential sputtering of Cu, Ag, and In2Se3-stacked film layers. Structural characterization showed that the deposited CAIS film satisfies nearly the stoichiometric form with uniform and homogeneous surface structure. The single-phase polycrystalline behavior without any secondary-phase formation was observed from the diffraction profile. The optical properties were investigated using temperature-dependent transmission measurements in the wavelength region of 600-1100 nm and in between 10 and 300 K. In the region of interest, the transmission spectra shifted towards the higher wavelengths as a result of an increase in the sample temperature. The analysis of the absorption data based on the transmission spectra resulted in absorption coefficient values of around 10(5) cm(-1) and the presence of direct allowed optical transition. From the Tauc plots, CAIS samples were found to have three distinct direct optical transitions depending on the possible splitting in the valence band. The obtained room temperature uppermost band gap energy value of 1.09 eV was found in the energy limit of ternary analogues (CuInSe2 and AgInSe2), and also in a good agreement with the previous works in the literature. The dependency of the band gap energy on the temperature was analyzed using fundamental relations. In addition, the electrical characteristics of the film layer were discussed in four-contact conductivity measurements, and room temperature conductivity was observed as 0.8 ohm(-1) cm(-1). Additionally, two activation energy values were found in the temperature-dependent conductivity profile. As a diode application, CAIS/Si heterojunction was fabricated and the main diode parameters were extracted at dark and room temperature conditions.
