Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Temperature-Dependent Structural Transition, Electronic Properties and Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis of Tl2ingas4< Crystals Grown by the Bridgman Method(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Qasrawi, A. F.; Alkarem, Qotaibah A.; Gasanly, N. M.In this work, we report the temporary structural modifications associated with the in situ heating of the Tl2InGaS4 crystals in the temperature range of 300-420 K. The analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the temperature-independent possible phase transformations between the monoclinic and triclinic phases. The temperature analysis of the lattice parameters, crystallite size, strain, dislocation density and stacking faults has shown a temporary enhancement in the crystallinity of this compound above 375 K. Significant increase in the grain size accompanied to decrease in the strain, defect density and stacking faults was observed above this temperature. The scanning electron microscopy imaging has shown that the crystals are layer structured with high quality layers of thicknesses of similar to 12 nm. In addition the energy dispersive X-ray analysis has shown that the crystal comprise no detectable impurity. Moreover, the room temperature optical characterizations has shown that the Tl2InGaS4 exhibit an energy band gap of 2.5 eV. The temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements indicated highly resistive crystal with activation energy values of 0.84 and 0.19 eV above and below 375 K, respectively. On the other hand, room temperature impedance spectroscopy analysis in the frequency domain of 10-1800 MHz has shown that the crystal exhibits negative resistance and negative capacitance effects below and above 1580 MHz. The crystals are observed also to behave as band stop filter with notch frequency of 1711 MHz.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Bi12geo20 Single Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.

M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Bi12GeO20 (BGO) compound is one of the fascinating members of sillenites group due to its outstanding photorefractive and photocatalytic characteristics. The present paper aims at investigating optical properties of BGO crystals by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Bi12GeO20 single crystals grown by Czochralski method were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and the analyses showed that studied crystals have cubic crystalline structure. Raman spectrum exhibited 15 peaks associated with A, E and F modes. Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurement data achieved in the energy region between 1.2 and 6.2 eV were used in the air/sample optical model to get knowledge about complex pseudodielectric constant, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction and absorption coefficients of the crystals. Spectral change of real and imaginary part of complex pseudodielectric constant were discussed in detail. Band gap energy of Bi12GeO20 single crystals was calculated to be 3.18 eV using absorption coefficient dependency on photon energy. Critical point energies at which photons are strongly absorbed were determined by utilizing the second energy derivative spectra of components of complex pseudodielectric function. Fitting of both spectra resulted in the presence of four interband transitions with energies of 3.49, 4.11, 4.67 and 5.51 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Thermoluminescence Properties of Al Doped Zno Nanoparticles(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.ZnO nanoparticles doped with aluminum (AZO nanoparticles) were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) and structural characterization experiments. TL experiments were performed on AZO nanoparticles in the temperature range of 10-300 K. TL curve presented one intensive peak around 123 K and two overlapped peaks to intensive peak around 85 and 150 K for heating rate of 0.1 K/s. Curve fitting and initial rise methods were used to find the activation energies of associated trapping centers. Analyses resulted in the presence of three centers at 0.05, 0.08 and 0.17 eV with peak maximum temperatures (T-m) of 86.2, 121.5 and 147.1 K, respectively. TL experiments were expanded using different heating rates between 0.1 K/s and 0.5 K/s. Behavior of revealed traps was investigated using an experimental technique called as T-m - T-stop method. It was seen that traps are quasi-continuously distributed within the band gap. Structural properties were studied using x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy experiments.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Determination 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.

F.; AlGarni, S. E.; Gasanly, N. M.In this study an optoelectronic design is reported and characterized. The device is made of p-type MgO solved in sodium silicate binder and n-type GaSe0.5S0.5 heterojunction. It is described by means of X-ray diffraction, optical absorption and reflection in the incident light wavelength range of 190-1100 nm and by means of dark and 406 nm laser excited current (I)-voltage (V) characteristics. The optical reflectance was also measured as a function of angle of incidence of light in the range of 35-80. The structural analysis revealed no change in the existing phases of the device composers. In addition, it was observed that for pure sodium silicate and for a 67% content of MgO solved in sodium silicate binder (33%), the heterojunction exhibits a valence band shift of 0.40 and 0.70 eV, respectively. The painting of MgO improved the light absorbability significantly. On the other hand, the angle-dependent reflectance measurements on the crystal displayed a Brewster condition at 70. The MgO/ GaSe0.5S0.5 heterojunction exhibited no Brewster condition when irradiated from the MgO side. Moreover, for the crystal and the MgO/ GaSe0.5S0.5 heterojunction, the dielectric spectral analysis revealed a pronounced increase in the quality factor of the device. The I-V characteristics of the device revealed typical optoelectronic properties with high photo-response that could amplify the dark current 24 times when irradiated with 5 mW power laser light. The structural, optical, dielectric and electrical features of the MgO/GaSe0.5S0.5 heterojunction nominate it for use in visible light communication technology. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

M.TlMeSe2 (Me: Tl, In) semiconducting compounds exhibiting chain structure have been attractive ternary materials in various technological devices. In the TlMeSe2 structure, Tl1+ is monovalent while Me3+ is trivalent ions. The present paper reports the results of spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements performed on Tl1+(Tl0.2In0.8)3+Se2 (abbreviated as Tl1.2In0.8Se2) single crystals which were grown by substituting thallium for indium. The measurements were performed for orientations of E//c and Etc (E: electric field and c: optical axis). The analyses of ellipsometry data considering air-sample optical model presented the spectral dependencies of dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient in the 1.2-5.0 eV range. Critical point energies of studied single crystal were obtained by fitting second-energy derivative spectra of dielectric function. The determined energies were compared with those of TlInSe2 to understand the effect of thalliumindium substitution in the compound. The crystal structure and atomic compositions of the constituent elements were also reported throughout the paper.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Temperature Effects on Optical Characteristics of Cdse Thin Films(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Surucu, O.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.CdSe is one of the significant members of II-VI type semiconducting family and it has a wide range of technological applications in which optoelectronic devices take a special position. The present paper reports the structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated CdSe thin films. XRD pattern exhibited preferential orientation along (111) plane while atomic composition analyses resulted in the ratio of Cd/Se as closer to 1.0. Temperature-dependent band gap characteristics of CdSe thin films were investigated for the first time by carrying out transmission experiments in the 10-300 K range. The analyses showed that direct band gap energy of the compound decreases from 1.750 (at 10 K) to 1.705 eV (at 300 K). Varshni model was successfully applied to the temperature-band gap energy dependency and various optical constants were determined. Raman spectrum of CdSe thin films was also presented to understand the vibrational characteristics of the compound. The present paper would provide worthwhile data to researchers especially studying on optoelectronic device applications of CdSe thin films.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12The Defect State of Yb-Doped Zno Nanoparticles Using Thermoluminescence Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Shallow trapping centers in Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were determined using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements applied in the 10-300 K temperature region.
