    Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Investigation of Optical Properties of Β-ga2s3< Single Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Gasanova, L.
    Ga2S3 single crystals were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. XRD pattern of the sample is well-matched with reported hexagonal structure of beta-Ga2S3 . The spectra of real and imaginary parts of complex dielectric function (epsilon = epsilon(1) + epsilon(2)) and refractive index (N = n + ik) were plotted in the 1.2-6.2 eV range according to results of ellipsometric data. The e 2 -spectrum and analyses of absorption coefficient pointed out that studied sample has band gap energy of 2.48 eV which is consistent with that of beta-Ga(2)S(3)2. Critical point energies of beta-Ga2S3 were also reported in the present study.

    Thermoluminescence Study in Cu3ga5< Single Crystals: Application of Heating Rate and tm< Methods
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Gasanova, L. G.; Mahammadov, A. Z.
    Cu3Ga5S9 semiconducting single crystals were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in 10-300 K temperature region. In the TL glow curve, one peak starting to appear at the instant temperature is increased from 10 K and another peak, which is broader than a general individual TL peak, were observed. The broad peak around 66 K was investigated using T-m-T-stop experimental method to understand whether or not this peak is composed of more than one individual peaks or continuously distributed traps. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used for acceptable TL curves to be analyzed. TL curves in T-m-T-stop method indicated that observed peaks are due to the existence of quasi-continuous distribution of traps. Structural characterizations of Cu3Ga5S9 single crystals were studied using x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. The crystal structure, lattice parameters and atomic composition of the elements were reported in the present paper.

    Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Study of Above-Band Gap Optical Constants of Layered Structured Tlgase2, Tlgas2 and Tlins2 Single Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Turan, R.
    Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements on TlGaSe2, TlGaS2 and TlInS2 layered crystals were carried out on the layer-plane (0 0 1) surfaces, which are perpendicular to the optic axis c*, in the 1.2- 6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function as well as pseudorefractive index and pseudoextinction coefficient were found as a result of analysis of ellipsometric data. The structures of critical points in the above-band gap energy range have been characterized from the second derivative spectra of the pseudodielectric function. The analysis revealed four, five and three interband transition structures with critical point energies 2.75, 3.13, 3.72 and 4.45 eV (TlGaSe2), 3.03, 3.24, 3.53, 4.20 and 4.83eV (TlGaS2), and 3.50, 3.85 and 4.50 eV (TlInS2). For TlGaSe2 crystals, the determined critical point energies were assigned tentatively to interband transitions using the available electronic energy band structure. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

    Temperature-Dependent Electrical Resistivity, Space-Charge Current and Photoconductivity of Ga0.75in0.25< Single Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Dark electrical resistivity, space-charge-limited (SCL) current and photoconductivity measurements were carried out on Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. Analysis of the dark resistivity measurements revealed the presence of one level with activation energy of 0.10 eV. Current voltage characteristics showed that both ohmic and SCL characters exhibit in 180-300 K range. Analysis of the experimental data in the SCL region resulted with a trap level at 0.11 eV above the valence band. Photoconductivity measurements were performed at different light intensities in the temperature range of 150-300 K. Behavior of the recombination mechanism in the crystal was brought out as sublinear recombination from the dependence of photocurrent on illumination intensity. Moreover, obtained activation energies were compared with the results of other experimental techniques applied to Ga0.75In0.25Se crystals in literature. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Infrared and Raman Scattering Spectra of Layered Structured Ga3inse4< Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Korkmaz, F.
    The infrared reflectivity and transmittance and Raman scattering in Ga3InSe4 layered crystals were investigated in the frequency ranges of 100-400, 400-4000 and 25-500 cm(-1). The refractive and absorption indices, the frequencies of transverse and longitudinal optical modes, high- and low-frequency dielectric constants were obtained from the analysis of the IR reflectivity spectra. The bands observed in IR transmittance spectra were interpreted in terms of two-phonon absorption processes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Temperature and Excitation Intensity Tuned Photoluminescence in Ga0.75in0.25< Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Guler, I.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals have been studied in the wavelength range of 580-670 nm and temperature range of 7-59 K. Two PL emission bands centered at 613 nm (2.02 eV, A-band) and 623 nm (1.99 eV, B-band) were revealed at T = 7K. The excitation laser intensity dependence of the emission bands have been studied in the 0.06-1.40 W cm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor levels located at E-A = 0.11 and E-B = 0.15 eV below the bottom of conduction band to single shallow acceptor level located at 0.01 eV above the valence band are suggested to be responsible for the observed A- and B-bands. A simple model was proposed to interpret the recombination processes in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Trapping Center Parameters in In6s7< Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Thermally stimulated current measurements were carried out on In6S7 single crystals in the temperature range of 10-225 K with a constant heating rate of 0.8 K/s. The study of trapping centers was accomplished by the measurements of current flowing along the c-axis of crystals. The analysis of the glow curve according to various methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods, gives results in good agreement with each other and revealed two trapping centers in In6S7 with activation energies of 157 and 290 meV. Their capture cross sections have been determined as 7.5 x 10(-23) and 7.1 x 10(-20) cm(2),respectively. The good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping has confirmed that retrapping is negligible in these centers.

    Photo-Transferred Thermoluminescence of Shallow Traps in Β-Irradiated Beo Ceramics
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Isik, M.; Bulur, E.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Photo-transferred thermoluminescence signals from beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramics were measured in the low temperature range of 10-300 K. Samples irradiated at room temperature using a Sr-90/Y-19 beta source were cooled down to 10 K and trapped charges were photo-transferred at this low temperature using the light from a high power blue LED emitting at similar to 470 nm (2.6 eV). Thermoluminescence glow curve recorded at 0.2 K/s heating rate exhibited three peaks around 90, 160 and 185 K. The analyses of the TL peaks of the glow curve were accomplished using curve fitting, differential and peak shape methods. Results obtained from these techniques are in good agreement about the presence of three trapping centers in BeO ceramics with activation energies of 0.24, 0.48 and 0.56 eV. Moreover, the analyses indicated that first-order kinetics (slow retrapping) is the dominant mechanism in the luminescence process. Heating rate dependence of the glow curves was also investigated between 0.2 and 0.8 K/s rates. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Gd-Doped Zno Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Structural and Thermoluminescence Properties
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Structural and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of Gd-doped ZnO nanoparticles were investigated in the present study. TL glow curves recorded in the 10-300 K range presented three overlapped peaks around 56, 110 and 155 K for undoped ZnO nanoparticles. The Gd-doping to the ZnO nanoparticles resulted in shift of peak maximum temperatures to lower values and decrease of activation energies associated with the observed peaks. Activation energies of trapping centers were also reported. Taking into account the previously reported studies on defect characterization of ZnO compound, revealed centers were associated with interstitial defects. Structural characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy measurements.
