Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Identification of Shallow Trap Centers in Inse Single Crystals and Investigation of Their Distribution: a Thermally Stimulated Current Spectroscopy(Elsevier, 2024) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Identification of trap centers in semiconductors takes great importance for improving the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices. In the present study, we employed the thermally stimulated current (TSC) method within a temperature range of 10-280 K to explore trap centers in InSe crystal-a material with promising applications in next-generation devices. Our findings revealed the existence of two distinct hole trap centers within the InSe crystal lattice located at 0.06 and 0.14 eV. Through the leveraging the T-stop method, we offered trap distribution parameters of revealed centers. The results obtained from the experimental methodology employed to investigate the distribution of trap centers indicated that one of the peaks extended between 0.06 and 0.13 eV, while the other spanned from 0.14 to 0.31 eV. Notably, our research uncovers a remarkable variation in trap density, spanning one order of magnitude, for every 10 and 88 meV of energy variation. The results of our research present the characteristics of shallow trap centers in InSe, providing important information for the design and optimization of InSe-based optoelectronic devices.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Optical Characterization of Nabi(moo4)2< Crystal by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry(Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.

M.This study investigates the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of undoped and gadolinium (Gd)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized via sol-gel method. The crystal structure of both synthesized nanoparticles was determined as hexagonal from x-ray diffraction pattern. The TL curve of undoped ZnO nanoparticles reveals two distinct peaks at 400.5 and 479.2 K, each associated with trap centers featuring activation energies of 0.84 and 1.05 eV. TL curve of the Gd:ZnO introduced three peaks associated with trap centers at 1.10, 1.18, and 1.25 eV. Notably, the absence of the 0.84 eV trap center in Gd-doped ZnO implies a modification in the defect structure. Considering the effect of Gd-doping on the band structure and potential minor errors in the analysis results, it was stated that the traps at 1.05 and 1.10 eV levels belonged to the same defect center. Dose-dependent investigations for undoped and Gd-doped ZnO nanoparticles reveal linear behaviors in the TL response, highlighting their potential for dosimetric applications. Photoluminescence spectra of both compounds exhibited emission peaks around 455 and 577 nm, which were associated with native defect centers.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Revealing Defect Centers in Pbwo4 Single Crystals Using Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements(Aip Publishing, 2024) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.The trap centers have a significant impact on the electronic properties of lead tungstate (PbWO4), suggesting their crucial role in optoelectronic applications. In the present study, we investigated and revealed the presence of shallow trap centers in PbWO4 crystals through the utilization of the thermally stimulated current (TSC) method. TSC experiments were performed in the 10-280 K range by applying a constant heating rate. The TSC spectrum showed the presence of a total of four peaks, two of which were overlapped. As a result of analyzing the TSC spectrum using the curve fit method, the activation energies of revealed centers were found as 0.03, 0.11, 0.16, and 0.35 eV. The trapping centers were associated with hole centers according to the comparison of TSC peak intensities recorded by illuminating the opposite polarity contacts. Our findings not only contribute to the fundamental understanding of the charge transport mechanisms in PbWO4 crystals but also hold great promise for enhancing their optoelectronic device performance. The identification and characterization of these shallow trap centers provide valuable insights for optimizing the design and fabrication of future optoelectronic devices based on PbWO4.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Temperature-Dependent Tuning of Band Gap of Fe3o4 Nanoparticles for Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier, 2024) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.We have investigated structural, morphological and temperature dependent absorption characteristics of Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
