Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Trap Distribution in Agin5s8< Single Crystals: Thermoluminescence Study(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Delice, S.; Işık, Mehmet; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringDistribution of shallow trap levels in AgIn5S8 crystals has been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature (10-300 K). One broad TL peak centered at 33 K was observed as constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s was employed for measurement. The peak shape analysis showed that the TL curve could consist of several individual overlapping TL peaks or existence of quasi-continuous distributed traps. Therefore, TL experiments were repeated for different stopping temperatures (T-stop) between 10 and 34 K with constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s to separate the overlapping TL peaks. The E-t vs T-stop indicated that crystal has quasi-continuously distributed traps having activation energies increasing from 13 to 41 meV. Heating rate effect on trapped charge carriers was also investigated by carrying out the TL. experiments with various heating rates between 0.2 and 0.6 K/s for better comprehension of characteristics of existed trap levels. Analyses indicated that the trap levels exhibited the properties of anomalous heating rate behavior which means the TL intensity and area under the TL peak increase with increasing heating rate.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Study 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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Transmission, Reflection and Thermoluminescence Studies on Gas0.75se0.25< Layered Single Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Optical and thermoluminescence properties on GaS0.75Se0.25 crystals were investigated in the present work. Transmission and reflection measurements were performed at room temperature in the wavelength range of 400-1000 nm. Analysis revealed the presence of indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 2.39 and 2.53 eV, respectively. TL spectra obtained at low temperatures (10-300 K) exhibited one peak having maximum temperature of 168 K. Observed peak was analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods to calculate the activation energy of the associated trap center. All applied methods were consistent with the value of 495 meV. Attempt-to-escape-frequency and capture cross section of the trap center were determined using the results of curve fitting. Heating rate dependence studies of the glow curve in the range of 0.4-0.8 K/s resulted with decrease of TL intensity and shift of the peak maximum temperature to higher values. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
