Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Electronic, Optical and Thermodynamic Characteristics of Bi12sio20 Sillenite: First Principle Calculations(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021) Isik, M.; Surucu, G.; Gencer, A.; Gasanly, N. M.Bi12XO20 (X: Si, Ge, Ti) ternary semiconducting compounds are known as sillenites and take a remarkable attention thanks to their attractive photorefractive properties. The present paper reports electronic, optical and thermodynamic characteristics of Bi12SiO20 by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The crystalline structure of the compound was revealed as cubic with lattice constant of 10.135 angstrom. XRD pattern obtained from DFT calculations were compared with experimental data and there is a good consistency between them. The electronic band structure and density of state plots were presented in detail. The band gap energy of the compound was determined from electronic band structure and spectra of optical constants. The spectral dependencies of real and imaginary components of dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and loss function were plotted in the 0-12 eV spectral range. The revealed structural, electronic and optical characteristics were discussed taking into account the previously reported theoretical and experimental studies on the Bi12SiO20 sillenite.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Investigation of the Electrical Parameters of Ag/P-tlgases Schottky Contacts(Elsevier, 2012) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.p-type TlGaSeS single crystal was used to fabricate a Schottky device. Silver and carbon metals were used as the Ohmic and Schottky contacts, respectively. The device which displayed wide RF band at 13.200 and narrow band at 62.517 kHz with Q value of 1.4 and of 6.3 x 10(4), respectively, is characterized by means of current (I)-voltage (V), capacitance (C)-voltage characteristics as well as capacitance-frequency (f) characteristics. The device series resistance, ideality factor and barrier height are determined from the I-Vcurve as 35.8 M Omega, 1.2 and 0.74 eV, respectively. The apparent acceptor density and the build in voltage of the device increased with increasing ac signal frequency. The high Q value, observed at 62.517 kHz. indicated a much lower rate of energy loss relative to the stored energy of the device. The energy loss (Q(-1)) is much less than 0.001% of the stored value. The device was tested and found to remain at the same mode of resonance for several hours. It never switched or ceased unless it was tuned off. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

M.In this work, the dark electrical resistivity, charge carrier density and Hall mobility of Tl(2)InGaSe(4) single crystal have been recorded and analyzed to investigate the dominant scattering mechanism in the crystal. The data analyses have shown that this crystal exhibits an extrinsic n-type conduction. The temperature-dependent dark electrical resistivity analysis reflected the existence of two energy levels as 0.396 and 0.512 eV, being dominant above and below 260 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the carrier density was analyzed by using the single-donor-single-acceptor model. The latter analysis has shown that the above maintained 0.512 eV energy level is a donor impurity level. The compensation ratio for this crystal is determined as 0.96. The Hall mobility of Tl(2)InGaSe(4) is found to be limited by the scattering of electron-acoustic phonon interactions. The calculated theoretical acoustic phonon scattering mobility agrees with the experimental one under the condition that the acoustic deformation potential is 12.5 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Optical Characterization of Nabi(moo4)2< Crystal by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry(Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.

F.; Gasanly, N. M.The structure, the anisotropy effect on the current transport mechanism and the space charge limited current in Tl4Se3S chain crystals have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity measurements along and perpendicular to the crystal's c-axis and the current voltage characteristics. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity analysis in the region of 150-400 K, revealed the domination of the thermionic emission of charge carriers over the chain boundaries above 210 and 270 K along and perpendicular to the c-axis, respectively. Below these temperatures, the variable range hopping is dominant. At a consistent temperature range, the thermionic emission analysis results in conductivity activation energies of 280 and 182 meV, along and perpendicular to the c-axis, respectively. Likewise, the hopping parameters are altered significantly by the conductivity anisotropy. The current-voltage characteristics revealed the existence of hole trapping state being located at 350 meV above the valence band of the crystal. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

F.; Gasanly, N. M.The extrinsic electronic parameters of Tl2InGaSe4 layered crystals were investigated through measurement of the temperature-dependent dark conductivity, space-charge-limited currents and photoconductivity. Analysis of the dark conductivity reveals the existence of two extrinsic energy levels at 0.40 and 0.51 eV below the conduction band edge, which are dominant above and below 260 K, respectively. Current-voltage characteristics show that the one at 0.51 eV is a trapping energy level with a concentration of (4.8-7.7) x 10(10) cm(3). Photoconductivity measurements reveal the existence of another energy level located at 0.16 eV. In the studied temperature range, the photocurrent increases with increasing temperature. The dependence of the photoconductivity on the incident light intensity exhibits a linear recombination character near room temperature and a supralinear character as the temperature decreases. The change in recombination mechanism is attributed to an exchange in the behavior of sensitizing and recombination centres.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements in Undoped Ga3inse4< Single Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe trap levels in nominally undoped Ga3InSe4 crystals were investigated in the temperature range of 10-300 K using the thermally stimulated currents technique. The study of trap levels was accomplished by the measurements of current flowing along the c-axis of the crystal. During the experiments we utilized a constant heating rate of 0.8 K/s. Experimental evidence is found for one hole trapping center in the crystal with activation energy of 62 meV. The analysis of the experimental TSC curve gave reasonable results under the model that assumes slow retrapping. The capture cross-section of the trap was determined as 1.0 x 10(-25) cm(2) with concentration of 1.4 x 10(17) cm(-3). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Bi12SiO20 single crystals have attracted interest due to their remarkable photorefractive characteristics. Since bandgap and refractive index are related theoretically to each other, it takes much attention to investigate temperature dependency of bandgap energy to understand the behavior of photorefractive crystals. The present study aims at investigating structural and optical characteristics of photorefractive Bi12SiO20 single crystals grown by the Czochralski method. The structural characterization methods indicated that atomic composition ratios of constituent elements were well-matched with the chemical compound Bi12SiO20, and grown crystals have a cubic crystalline structure. Optical properties of crystals were investigated by room temperature Raman spectroscopy and temperature-dependent transmission measurements between 10 and 300 K.

F.; Gasanly, N. M.Tl2InGaS4 layered crystals are studied through the dark electrical conductivity, space charge limited current and illumination- and temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements in the temperature regions of 220-350 K, 300-400 K and 200-350 K, respectively. The space charge limited current measurements revealed the existence of a single discrete trapping level located at 0.44 eV. The dark electrical conductivity showed the existence of two energy levels of 0.32 eV and 0.60 eV being dominant above and below 300 K, respectively. The photoconductivity measurements reflected the existence of two other energy levels located at 0.28 eV and 0.19 eV at high and low temperatures, respectively. The photocurrent is observed to increase with increasing temperature up to a maximum temperature of 330 K. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity is found to exhibit supralinear recombination in all the studied temperature ranges. The change in recombination mechanism is attributed to exchange in the behavior of sensitizing and recombination centers. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
