Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Analysis of Optical Constants and Temperature-Dependent Absorption Edge of Gas0.75se0.25< Layered Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, NizamiGaS0.75Se0.25 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.

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.

Experimental data demonstrates the coexistence of both optical indirect and direct transitions and the shift of the absorption edges toward lower energies by increasing temperature in the range of 10-300 K. Band gap at zero temperature, average phonon energy and electron phonon coupling parameter for indirect and direct band gap energies have been obtained from the analyses of temperature dependences of band gap energies. At high temperatures kT>> (E-ph), rates of band gap energy change have been found as 0.56 and 0.67 me V/K for E-gi and E-gd, respectively. Furthermore, the dispersion of refractive index has been discussed in terms of the Wemple-DiDomenico single effective oscillator model. The refractive index dispersion parameters, namely oscillator and dispersion energies, oscillator strength and zero-frequency refractive index, have been found to be 4.48 eV, 24.8 eV, 6.99x10(13) m(-2) and 2.56, respectively. The results of the present work will provide an important contribution to the research areas related to the characterization and optoelectronic device fabrication using GaS layered crystals.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Optical Characterization of Cuin5s8< Crystals by Ellipsometry Measurements(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, NizamiOptical properties of CuIn5S8 crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by ellipsometry measurements. Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction coefficient, reflectivity and absorption coefficients were obtained from the analysis of ellipsometry experiments performed in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral region. Analysis of spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient revealed the existence of direct band gap transitions with energy 1.53 eV. Wemple-DiDomenico and Spitzer-Fan models were used to find the oscillator energy, dispersion energy, zero-frequency refractive index and high-frequency dielectric constant values. Structural properties of the CuIn5S8 crystals were investigated using X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

X-ray diffraction pattern exhibited nine peaks related to tetragonal crystal structure. Scanning electron microscope image showed that the nanoparticles with the dimensions of 25-50 nm were found as micrometer sized agglomerated. When the spectrum obtained as a result of the transmission measurements was analyzed, it was seen that the band gap energy decreased from 3.29(5) to 3.26(6) eV as the temperature was increased from 10 to 300 K. Temperature-band gap dependence was analyzed using Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen optical models and optical parameters of the TiO2 nanoparticles like absolute zero band gap energy, rate of change of band gap with temperature and average phonon energy were reported.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Ellipsometry Study of Optical Parameters of Agin5s8< Crystals(Elsevier, 2015) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, NizamiAgln(5)S(8) crystals grown by Bridgman method were characterized for optical properties by ellipsometry measurements.

Direct band gap energy of 1.84 eV was found from the analysis of absorption coefficient vs. photon energy. The oscillator energy, dispersion energy and zero-frequency refractive index, high-frequency dielectric constant values were found from the analysis of the experimental data using Wemple-DiDomenico and Spitzer-Fan models.

All rights reservedArticle Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 28Structural, Morphological and Temperature-Tuned Bandgap Characteristics of Cus Nano-Flake Thin Films(Elsevier, 2022) Isik, Mehmet; Terlemezoglu, Makbule; Gasanly, Nizami; Parlak, MehmetCopper sulfide (CuS) thin films were produced by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. Structural, morphological and optical characteristics of deposited CuS films were presented. X-ray diffraction pattern showed two intensive peaks associated with hexagonal crystalline structure. Scanning electron microscopy image indicated that CuS films have nano-flake structured. Raman spectrum was reported to show vibrational characteristics of the CuS nano-flake thin films. Two peaks associated with Cu-S and S-S vibrations were observed in the Raman spectrum. Transmission spectra were recorded at various temperatures between 10 and 300 K. The analyses accomplished considering Tauc expression demonstrated that direct bandgap energy decreases from 2.36 eV (at 10 K) to 2.22 eV (at 300 K). Temperature-bandgap dependency was analyzed considering Varshni and Bose-Einstein expressions to reveal bandgap at 0 K, rate of change of bandgap and Debye temperature. CuS nanoflake thin film may be used in optoelectronic and photocatalysis applications thanks to its direct and narrow bandgap energy characteristics.
