    Temperature- and Photo-Excitation Effects on the Electrical Properties of Tl4se3< Crystals
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2009) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The extrinsic energy states and the recombination mechanism in the Tl4Se3S chain crystals are being investigated by means of electrical and photoelectrical measurements for the first time. The electrical resistivity is observed to decrease exponentially with increasing temperature. The analysis of this dependence revealed three impurity levels located at 280, 68 and 48 meV. The photocurrent is observed to increase as temperature decreases down to a minimum temperature T-m=200 K. Below this temperature the photocurrent decreases upon temperature lowering. Two photoconductivity activation energies of 10 and 100 meV were determined for the temperature ranges below and above T-m, respectively. The photocurrent (I-ph) versus illumination intensity (F) dependence follows the I-ph proportional to F-gamma law. The value of gamma decreases from similar to 1.0 at 300K to similar to 0.34 at 160K. The change in the value of gamma with temperature is attributed to the exchange of roles between the monomolecular recombination at the surface near room temperature and trapping centers in the crystal, which become dominant as temperature decreases.

    Analysis of the Hall Effect in Tlgate2 Single Crystals
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2009) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient of p-type TlGaTe2 crystals were measured in the temperature range of 110-320 K. The electrical resistivity, charge carrier density and Hall mobility data for the crystals have been analyzed by means of existing theories and models to determine the extrinsic energy levels, the carrier effective mass, the donor and acceptor concentrations and the dominant scattering mechanism in the crystal as well. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity recorded parallel and perpendicular to the crystal's axis ( c-axis) reflected the existence of energy levels located at 0.26 and at 0.20 eV, respectively. The difference of these two energy levels is due to crystal anisotropy. The energy level at 0.26 eV was found to represent an acceptor level, as confirmed from Hall data analysis. The temperature dependence of the carrier density was analyzed by using the single-donor-single-acceptor model. The latter analysis revealed the carrier effective mass and the acceptor and donor concentrations as 0.73m(0), 4.10 x 10(17) cm(-3) and 1.20 x 10(17) cm(-3), respectively. The Hall mobility of TlGaTe2 is found to be limited by the scattering of hole-acoustic phonon interactions. The calculated theoretical mobility fits to the experimental one under the condition that the acoustic deformation potential is 11.0 eV, which is the energy position of the top of valence band maximum that is formed by the Te 5s states.
