    Infrared and Raman Scattering Spectra of Layered Structured Ga3inse4< Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Korkmaz, F.
    The infrared reflectivity and transmittance and Raman scattering in Ga3InSe4 layered crystals were investigated in the frequency ranges of 100-400, 400-4000 and 25-500 cm(-1). The refractive and absorption indices, the frequencies of transverse and longitudinal optical modes, high- and low-frequency dielectric constants were obtained from the analysis of the IR reflectivity spectra. The bands observed in IR transmittance spectra were interpreted in terms of two-phonon absorption processes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Structural and Optical Characteristics of Thermally Evaporated Tlgase2 Thin Films
    (Elsevier, 2022) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Karatay, A.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
    The present paper reports the structural and optical properties of thermally evaporated TlGaSe2 thin films. X-ray diffraction pattern of evaporated film presented two diffraction peaks around 24.15 and 36.00 degrees which are associated with planes of monoclinic unit cell. Surface morphology of the TlGaSe2 thin films was investigated by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy techniques. Although there was observed some ignorable amount of clusters of quasi-spherical shape in the scanning electron microscope image, the film surface was observed almost uniform. Raman spectrum exhibited six peaks around 253, 356, 488, 800, 1053 and 1440 cm(-1) associated with possible vibrational mode combinations. Band gap energy of the thin film was determined as 3.01 eV from the analyses of transmission spectrum. Transmission spectrum presented strong Urbach tail and analyses of corresponding region resulted in Urbach energy of 0.66 eV. The structural and optical properties of deposited TlGaSe2 thin films were compared with those of single crystal. This comparison would provide valuable information about influence of thickness on the studied compounds.

    Determination of Mechanical Properties of Bi12tio20< Crystals by Nanoindentation
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Rustamov, F. A.
    Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystal was grown by Czochralski method and investigated mechanically by nano-indentation measurements. X-ray diffraction pattern of the crystal presented one intensive peak around 37.95 degrees associated with (330) plane of cubic crystalline structure. Nanoindentation experiments were performed at various loads between 5 and 100 mN. Hardness and Young's modulus of the crystal were determined by Oliver-Pharr method. The hardness-load dependency exhibited behavior of indentation size effect. True hardness value of BTO crystal was revealed as 4.4 GPa. Young's modulus decreased with increase of load and load-independent Young's modulus was found around 93 GPa at high loads. The load-dependent elastic and plastic deformation components were calculated and it was observed that the dominant component in BTO single crystal is plastic deformation at the applied loads. The present paper reports for the first time the mechanical characteristics of the BTO single crystal by carrying out nanoindentation experiments.

    Optoelectronic Properties of Ga4se3< Single Crystals
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.; Ilaiwi, K. F.
    The optoelectronic properties of Bridgman method-grown Ga(4)Se(3)S single crystals have been investigated by means of room temperature electrical resistivity, temperature-dependent photosensitivity and temperature-dependent optical absorption. The photosensitivity was observed to increase with decreasing temperature, the illumination dependence of which was found to exhibit monomolecular recombination in the bulk at 300 K. The absorption coefficient, which was calculated in the incident photon energy range of 2.01-2.35 eV, increased with increasing temperature. Consistently, the absorption edge shifts to lower energy values. The fundamental absorption edge corresponds to an indirect allowed transitions energy gap (2.08 eV at 300 K) that exhibits a temperature coefficient of -95 x 10(-4) eVK(-1).

    Hall Mobility and Photoconductivity in Tlgases Crystals
    (Amer inst Physics, 2013) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    In this work, the fundamental properties of the TlGaSeS single crystals are investigated by means of temperature dependent electrical resistivity and Hall mobility. The crystal photo-responsibility as function of illumination intensity and temperature is also tested in the temperature range of 350-160 K. The study allowed the determination of acceptor centers as 230 and 450 meV below and above 260 K, and recombination centers as 181, 363, and 10 meV at low, moderate, and high temperatures, respectively. While the temperature-dependent Hall mobility behaved abnormally, the photoconductivity analysis reflected an illumination intensity dependent recombination center. Namely, the recombination center increased from 10 to 90 meV as the light intensity increased from 27.9 to 76.7 mW cm(-2), respectively. That strange behavior was attributed to the temporary shift in Fermi level caused by photoexcitation. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4775577]

    Study of Vibrational Modes in (ga2s3< - (ga2se3< Mixed Crystals by Raman and Infrared Reflection Measurements
    (Elsevier, 2019) Isik, M.; Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Raman and infrared (IR) reflection characteristics were investigated in the frequency region of 100-450 cm(-1) for (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) mixed crystals for compositions of x increasing from 0.0 to 1.0 by intervals of 0.25 obtained by Bridgman crystal growth technique. In the Raman spectra of these crystals four dominant peak features were observed while two bands were detected in the IR spectra of interest samples. Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations applied to IR spectra presented the frequencies of transverse optical modes. The compositional dependencies of revealed Raman- and IR-active mode frequencies on (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) crystals were established. One-mode behavior was displayed from indicated dependencies.

    Temperature Effects on Optical Characteristics of Thermally Evaporated Cusbse2 Thin Films for Solar Cell Applications
    (Elsevier, 2022) Surucu, O.; Isik, M.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Bektas, T.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.
    CuSbSe2 thin film was deposited by co-evaporation of binary CuSe and Sb2Se3 sources. The structural and morphological properties of the deposited thin film were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis measurements. XRD pattern indicated that deposited thin film has an orthorhombic crystalline structure with the preferential orientation of (013) direction. SEM image presented that the thin film surface is almost uniform. The optical characteristics of the deposited CuSbSe2 thin film were investigated in detail by performing room temperature Raman, temperature-dependent transmittance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence techniques. Raman spectrum exhibited one mode at around 210 cm(-1) associated with A(g) vibrational mode. The derivative spectroscopy technique was used to obtain the band gap energy of the films. Temperature dependence of band gap energy was investigated by considering the Varshni model. The rate of change of band gap energy, absolute zero value of gap energy, and Debye temperature were determined as 1.3 x 10(-4) eV/K, 1.21 eV, and 297 +/- 51 K, respectively. The photoluminescence spectrum indicated the room temperature direct band gap energy as 1.30 eV.

    Thermoluminescence Study in Cu3ga5< Single Crystals: Application of Heating Rate and tm< Methods
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Gasanova, L. G.; Mahammadov, A. Z.
    Cu3Ga5S9 semiconducting single crystals were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in 10-300 K temperature region. In the TL glow curve, one peak starting to appear at the instant temperature is increased from 10 K and another peak, which is broader than a general individual TL peak, were observed. The broad peak around 66 K was investigated using T-m-T-stop experimental method to understand whether or not this peak is composed of more than one individual peaks or continuously distributed traps. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used for acceptable TL curves to be analyzed. TL curves in T-m-T-stop method indicated that observed peaks are due to the existence of quasi-continuous distribution of traps. Structural characterizations of Cu3Ga5S9 single crystals were studied using x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. The crystal structure, lattice parameters and atomic composition of the elements were reported in the present paper.

    Energy Band Diagram and Current Transport Mechanism in P-mgo/N-ga4<
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2015) Qasrawi, Atef F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    A p-n heterojunction made of MgO and Ga4Se3S single crystal has been successfully produced. The current-voltage curve analysis has shown that the current conduction mechanism is mostly governed by the Richardson-Schottky mechanism. The width of the effective interface region of the p-n junction was found to be 3.72x10(-5)cm. The work function and the electron affinity of the Ga4Se3S crystals were also determined as 4.32 and 3.96 eV, respectively. On the other hand, the capacitance-voltage curve analysis, which was carried out in the power range that extends from Bluetooth to WLAN power outputs, reflected a built-in voltage of 0.48 eV and density of noncompensated carriers of 8.2 x 10(16)cm(-3). The device is observed to exhibit a wide range of negative resistance associated with the tunneling of charged particles at reverse biasing down to similar to 1.28 V. At that voltage, when exposed to a He-Ne laser beam of similar to 3 mW, the device reflected a responsivity of similar to 80. The charge storability increased and the I-V characteristics are significantly shifted. These properties are promising because it indicates the applicability of these tunneling devices in optoelectronics.
