Composition-tuned band gap energy and refractive index in GaS_xSe_1-x layered mixed crystals
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, Nizami
Transmission and reflection measurements on GaSxSe1-x mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) were carried out in the 400-1000 nm spectral range. Band gap energies of the studied crystals were obtained using the derivative spectra of transmittance and reflectance. The compositional dependence of band gap energy revealed that as sulfur (selenium) composition is increased (decreased) in the mixed crystals, band gap energy increases quadratically from 1.99 eV (GaSe) to 2.55 eV (GaS). Spectral dependencies of refractive indices of the mixed crystals were plotted using the reflectance spectra. It was observed that refractive index decreases nearly in a linear behavior with increasing band gap energy for GaSxSe1-x mixed crystals. Moreover, the composition ratio of the mixed crystals was obtained from the energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. The atomic compositions of the studied crystals are well-matched with composition x increasing from 0 to 1 by intervals of 0.25. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis of Optical Constants and Temperature-Dependent Absorption Edge of Gas_0.75se_{0.25< Layered Crystals}
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, Nizami
GaS0.75Se0.25 single crystals were optically characterized through transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 450-1000 nm. Derivative spectrophotometry analyses on temperature dependent transmittance spectra showed that band gap energies of the crystal increase from 239 eV (T=300 K) to 2.53 eV (T=10 K). Band gap at zero temperature, average phonon energy, electron phonon coupling parameter and rates of change of band gap energy with temperature were found from the temperature dependences of band gap energies under the light of different models reported in literature. Furthermore, the dispersion of room temperature refractive index was discussed in terms of single effective oscillator model. The refractive index dispersion parameters, namely oscillator and dispersion energies, zero-frequency refractive index, were determined as a result of analyses. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Temperature-Tuned Band Gap Energy and Oscillator Parameters of Gas_0.5se_{0.5< Single Crystals}
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer verlag, 2016) Isik, Mehmet; Tugay, Evrin; Gasanly, Nizami
Temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection measurements were carried out on GaS0.5Se0.5 single crystal in the wavelength range of 380-1000 nm to investigate its optical parameters. The analysis of the temperature-dependent absorption data showed that direct and indirect band gap energies increase from 2.36 to 2.50 eV and 2.27 to 2.40 eV, respectively, as temperature is decreased from 300 to 10 K. The rates of change of the direct and indirect band gap energies with temperature was found around -7.4 x 10(-4) eV/K from the analysis of experimental data under the light of theoretical relation giving the band gap energy as a function of temperature. The absolute zero value of the band gap energies were also found from the same analysis as 2.50 eV (for direct) and 2.40 eV (for indirect). Wemple-DiDomenico single effective oscillator model, Sellmeier oscillator model and Spitzer-Fan model were used for the room temperature reflection data to find optical parameters of the crystal.

The Role of Defects on the Transition From Saturable Absorption To Nonlinear Absorption of Bi₁₂geo_{20< Single Crystal Under Increasing Laser Excitation}
(Elsevier, 2022) Pepe, Yasemin; Isik, Mehmet; Karatay, Ahmet; Yildiz, Elif Akhuseyin; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
This work reports defect and input intensity dependent nonlinear optical behaviors of Bi12GeO20 (BGO) single crystal. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan experiments were performed with 532 nm excitation wavelength under 4 ns and 100 fs pulsed laser irradiation. Obtained data were fitted with a theoretical model considering one-photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption contributions to nonlinear absorption due to longer lifetime of localized defect states than that of used laser pulse durations. At low input intensities, the BGO single crystal showed saturable absorption (SA) behavior and transition to nonlinear absorption (NA) behavior observed with further increase of the input intensities both of pulse durations. At low input intensity, the OPA mechanism is dominant and results in SA by filling of the defect states due to defect state at around one photon energy (2.32 eV). At higher input intensity, multi-photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption become dominant mechanisms, and nonlinear absorption behavior was observed. The lowest saturation threshold was found as 1.36 x 1010 W/cm2 with nanosecond pulses. We have revealed the mechanisms contributing both SA and NA, and determined saturation intensity threshold and effective nonlinear absorption coefficients. Our findings indicate that the tails of defect states overlap in the energy band gaps especially in sufficiently disordered crystal. With this way, the spectral range for saturable absorption and nonlinear absorption can be broadened.

Wavelength Dependence of the Nonlinear Absorption Performance and Optical Limiting in Bi12tio20 Single Crystal
(Elsevier, 2023) Pepe, Yasemin; Isik, Mehmet; Karatay, Ahmet; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
In this study, the influence of excitation wavelength and input intensity on the nonlinear absorption (NA) mechanism and optical limiting behavior of the Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystal were reported. The energy band gap of the BTO single crystal was obtained to be 2.38 eV. Urbach energy revealed that the single crystal has a highly defective structure. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan experiments were conducted at 532 and 1064 nm exci-tation wavelengths at various input intensities. Obtained experimental data were analyzed with a theoretical model considering one photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption contributions to NA. The obtained results revealed that the BTO single crystal possesses NA. The NA coefficient increased with increasing input intensity at 532 nm excitation wavelength, while it decreased with increasing input intensity at 1064 nm excitation wave-length. Due to the intense localized defect states distribution at the energy of 532 nm excitation wavelength within the band gap, increasing contribution to NA came from one photon absorption (OPA), sequential two -photon absorption (TPA) and free carrier absorption (FCA) with increasing input intensity. The filling of the defect states at 1064 excitation wavelength caused a reduction in NA due to increasing saturable absorption with increasing input intensity. TPA coefficients were also found from the fitting ignoring the defect states. As ex-pected, the values of the nonlinear absorption coefficient beta eff are higher than that of the TPA coefficients for both excitation wavelengths. The optical limiting threshold of the BTO single crystal was obtained to be 6.62 mJ/cm2. The results of the present works indicated that BTO single crystal can be used as a potential optical limiter.

Tunable Nonlinear Absorption and Optical Limiting Behavior of Nabi(mo_xw_{1-x< Single Crystals With Ratio of Molybdenum/Tungsten}
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Pepe, Yasemin; Yildiz, Elif Akhuseyin; Isik, Mehmet; Karatay, Ahmet; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
The compositional effect of Mo/W ratio on linear, nonlinear absorption and optical limiting behavior of the NaBi(MoxW1-xO4)(2) single crystals grown by Czochralski technique was investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns of the studied crystals presented well-defined peaks associated with the tetragonal crystalline structure. The nonlinear absorption performance and optical limiting threshold were determined using an open-aperture Z-scan technique. A theoretical model including one photon absorption (OPA), two photon absorption (TPA) and free carrier absorption was used to determine the nonlinear absorption parameters. All of the results showed that defect states, which strongly affect nonlinear absorption (NA) and optical limiting behaviors, can be tuned with the Mo/W ratio, enabling NaBi(MoxW1-xO4)(2) single crystals to be used in desired optoelectronic applications. Linear optical absorption analysis revealed that bandgap energy and defect states can be tuned by changing the Mo/W ratio in the crystal structure. The obtained results showed that all the studied crystals had NA behavior and the nonlinear absorption coefficient decreased with increasing Mo/W ratio. Sequential TPA is the main NA mechanism for these crystals due to the fact that the incident light energy is lower than the bandgap energies and the existence of the real intermediate state around 2.32 eV.

Analysis of Glow Curve of Gas_0.5se_{0.5< Single Crystals}
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Isik, Mehmet; Delice, Serdar; Gasanly, Nizami
Characterization of shallow trapping centers in GaS0.5Se0.5 crystals grown by a Bridgman method was carried out in the present work using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed in the low temperature range of 10-300 K. The activation energies of the trapping centers were obtained under the light of results of various analysis methods. The presence of three trapping centers located at 6, 30 and 72 meV was revealed. The analysis of the experimental glow curve gave reasonable results under the model that assumes slow retrapping which states the order of kinetics as b=1. Heating rate dependence of the observed TL peaks was studied for the rates between 0.4 and 1.0 K/s. Distribution of the traps was also investigated using an experimental technique based on the thermal cleaning of centers giving emission at lower temperatures. The distributed levels with activation energies increasing from 6 to 136 meV were revealed by increasing the stopping temperature from 10 to 52 K. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Revealing Photoluminescence and Nonlinear Optical Absorption Characteristics of Pbmo_0.75w_{0.25< Single Crystal for Optical Limiting Applications}
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Dogan, Anil; Karatay, Ahmet; Isik, Mehmet; Yildiz, Elif Akhuseyin; Gasanly, Nizami; Elmali, Ayhan
Nonlinear absorption properties of PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal fabricated by the Czochralski method were studied. The band gap energy of the crystal was determined as 3.12 eV. Urbach energy which represents the defect states inside the band gap was found to be 0.106 eV. PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal has a broad photoluminescence emission band between 376 and 700 nm, with the highest emission intensity occurring at 486 nm and the lowest intensity peak at 547 nm, depending on the defect states. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal that the lifetime of localized defect states is found to be higher than the 4 ns pulse duration. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan results demonstrate that the PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal exhibits nonlinear absorption (NA) that includes two-photon absorption (TPA) as the dominant mechanism at the 532 nm excitations corresponding to 2.32 eV energy. NA coefficient (beta(eff)) increased from 7.24 x 10(-10) m W-1 to 8.81 x 10(-10) m W-1 with increasing pump intensity. At higher intensities beta(eff) tends to decrease with intensity increase. This decrease is an indication that saturable absorption (SA) occurred along with the TPA, called saturation of TPA. The lifetime of the defect states was measured by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Saturable absorption behavior was observed due to the long lifetime of the localized defect states. Closed aperture (CA) Z-scan trace shows the sign of a nonlinear refractive index. The optical limiting threshold of PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal at the lowest intensity was determined as 3.45 mJ/cm(2). Results show that the PbMo0.75W0.25O4 single crystal can be a suitable semiconductor material for optical limiting applications in the visible region.
