X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the grown crystal indicated the well crystalline structure of the grown crystals. Lattice strain and interplanar spacing of the crystal structure were determined using the XRD pattern. Scanning electron micro-scope images allowed to the observation of the layer crystal structure. The layer crystalline structure shows 2D material properties and provides 2D applications. Optical properties were revealed by carrying out Raman, ellipsometry and transmission measurements. Raman modes, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and dielectric spectra, band gap energy of the crystal were presented throughout the paper. The obtained results indicated that Sn1-xSbxSe (x = 0.4) layer single crystals may be an alternative potential for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Structural and Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated (gase)0.75-(gas)0.25 Thin Films(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Emir, C.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringGaSe and GaS binary semiconducting compounds are layered structured and have been an attractive research interest in two-dimensional material research area. The present paper aims at growing (GaSe)0.75 - (GaS)0.25 (or simply GaSe0.75S0.25) thin film and investigating its structural and optical properties. Thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique using evaporation source of its single crystal grown by Bridgman method.

M.Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements with current flowing perpendicular to the layers were carried out on Tl2Ga2Se3S layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-260K. The experimental data were analyzed by using different methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and isothermal decay methods. The analysis revealed that there were three trapping centers with activation energies of 12, 76 and 177 meV. It was concluded that retrapping in these centers was negligible, which was confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping. The capture cross section and the concentration of the traps have been also determined. An exponential distribution of electron traps was revealed from the analysis of the TSC data obtained at different light illumination temperatures. This experimental technique provided values of 10 and 88 meV/decade for the traps distribution related to two different trapping centers. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

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. The present paper reports for the first time the mechanical characteristics of the BTO single crystal by carrying out nanoindentation experiments.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Optical Properties of Cu3in5< Single Crystals by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Isik, M.; Nasser, H.; Ahmedova, F.; Guseinov, A.; Gasanly, N. M.Cu3In5S9 single crystals were investigated by structural methods of x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy and optical techniques of ellipsometry and reflection carried out at room temperature. The spectral dependencies of optical constants; dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient, were plotted in the range of 1.2-6.2 eV from ellipsometric data. The spectra of optical constants obtained from ellipsometry analyses and reflectance spectra presented a sharp change around 1.55 and 1.50 eV, respectively, which are associated with band gap energy of the crystal. The critical point (interband transition) energies were also found from the analyses of second-energy derivative of real and imaginary components of dielectric function. The analyses indicated the presence of four critical points at 2.73, 135, 4.04 and 4.98 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Low Temperature Thermoluminescence Behaviour of Y2o3< Nanoparticles(Elsevier, 2019) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Y2O3 nanoparticles were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) experiments. TL glow curve recorded at constant heating rate of 0.4 K/s exhibits seven peaks around 19, 62, 91, 115, 162, 196 and 215 K.

M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringDistribution of shallow trap levels in AgIn5S8 crystals has been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature (10-300 K). One broad TL peak centered at 33 K was observed as constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s was employed for measurement. The peak shape analysis showed that the TL curve could consist of several individual overlapping TL peaks or existence of quasi-continuous distributed traps. Therefore, TL experiments were repeated for different stopping temperatures (T-stop) between 10 and 34 K with constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s to separate the overlapping TL peaks. The E-t vs T-stop indicated that crystal has quasi-continuously distributed traps having activation energies increasing from 13 to 41 meV. Heating rate effect on trapped charge carriers was also investigated by carrying out the TL. experiments with various heating rates between 0.2 and 0.6 K/s for better comprehension of characteristics of existed trap levels. Analyses indicated that the trap levels exhibited the properties of anomalous heating rate behavior which means the TL intensity and area under the TL peak increase with increasing heating rate.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Nasser, H.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystal grown by the Czochralski method were investigated by virtue of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. XRD analysis indicated that the studied crystal possesses cubic structure with lattice parameters of a = 1.0107 nm.
