    Analysis of Optical Constants and Temperature-Dependent Absorption Edge of Gas0.75se0.25< 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.

    Analysis of Glow Curve of Gas0.5se0.5< 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.

    The Investigation of Electronic Nature and Mechanical Properties Under Spin Effects for New Half-Metallic Ferromagnetic Chalcogenides Ag3crx4< (x = S, Se, and Te)
    (Elsevier, 2021) Erkisi, Aytac; Yildiz, Bugra; Wang, Xiaotian; Isik, Mehmet; Ozcan, Yusuf; Surucu, Gokhan
    This study presents the electronic and mechanical characteristics of ternary silver-based Ag3CrX4 (X = S, Se, and Te) chalcogenides having simple cubic crystalline structure (SC), conforming P4-3m (space group: 215) that are studied under the spin-polarized Generalized Gradient Approach (GGA) within the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The stable magnetic phase has been determined as the ferromagnetic (FM) phase for all studied systems. Then, phase stability, mechanical, thermal and electronic characteristics of Ag3CrX4 chalcogenides have been reported. In the calculated spin polarized electronic band structures for Ag3CrX4 chalcogenides, as an indicator of half-metallic behavior, metallicity has been observed in the majority spin channel, while indirect band gaps (1.04 eV for Ag3CrS4, 1.10 eV for Ag3CrSe4, and 1.25 eV for Ag3CrTe4) have been determined in the minority spin channel. Moreover, Ag3CrX4 chalcogenides have been found as thermodynamically stable and structurally synthesizable considering the calculated negative formation enthalpies. Elastic constants of studied chalcogenides satisfying Born-Huang criteria's pointed out the mechanical stability of materials. The predicted mechanical properties determined with elastic constants revealed that Ag3CrX4 chalcogenides belong to soft and ductile material family.
