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.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) were studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The spectral dependence of the components of the complex dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient were revealed using an optical model. The interband transition energies in the studied samples were found from the analysis of the second-energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric function. The variation of the obtained energies with composition were plotted to see the effect of the substitution of indium with gallium. Moreover, a simple diagram showing the revealed transitions in the available electronic band structure was given for TlGaS2 single crystals. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rightsArticle Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12First Principles Study of Bi12geo20< Electronic, Optical and Thermodynamic Characterizations(Elsevier, 2021) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Surucu, G.; Gencer, A.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringBismuth germanium oxide (Bi12GeO20) is one of the attractive members of sillenite compounds having fascinating photorefractive characteristics. The electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of Bi12GeO20 were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimental and calculated X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained as well-consistent with each other. The lattice constant of the cubic crystalline structure of Bi12GeO20 compound was calculated as 10.304 angstrom. The electronic band structure and partial density of states plots were reported and contribution of constituent atoms (Bi12GeO20) to the valence and conduction bands was presented. The band gap energy of the Bi12GeO20 was calculated as 3.20 eV. This wide direct band gap energy provides Bi12GeO20 significant potential in ultraviolet applications. The spectra of real and imaginary components of dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient and absorption coefficient were drawn in the 0-10 eV energy range. Temperature-dependent heat capacity plot indicated the Dulong-Petit limit as 825 J/mol.K. The results of the present study would present worthwhile information to device application areas of Bi12GeO20 compound.
