Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Band Offsets and Optical Conduction in the Cdse/Gase Interface(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Kayed, T. S.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Elsayed, Khaled A.In this work, the design and characterization of CdSe/GaSe heterojunction is considered. The CdSe/GaSe thin film interface was prepared by the physical vapor deposition technique. Systematic structural and optical analysis were performed to explore the crystalline nature, the optical band gaps, the conduction and valence band offsets, the dielectric spectra, and the frequency dependent optical conductivity at terahertz frequencies. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a polycrystalline interface that is mostly dominated by the hexagonal CdSe oriented in the (002) direction. It was also found that the CdSe/GaSe interface exhibits conduction and valence band offsets of 1.35 and 1.23/1.14 eV, respectively. The dielectric spectra displayed two dielectric resonance peaks at 530 and 445 THz. Moreover, the computational fittings of the optical conductivity of the interface revealed a free carrier scattering time of 0.41 (fs) for a free carrier density of 7.0 x 10(18) (cm(-3)). The field effect mobility for the CdSe/GaSe interface was found to be 5.22 (cm(2)/Vs). The remarkable features of this device having large band offsets and qualitative optical conduction dominated by a scattering time in the order of femtoseconds in addition to the dielectric property nominate the device to be used in optoelectronic technology.

S.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Elsayed, Khaled A.In this work, the heavy aluminum doping effects on the compositional, structural, optical, dielectric and electrical properties of ZnSe thin films are investigated. It is observed that the Zn/Se compositional ratio increases with increasing Al content. The major cubic phase of ZnSe becomes more pronounced compared to the hexagonal phase. In addition, the presence of Al in the structure of ZnSe causes lattice constant contraction, decreased the grain size and increased both of the strain and defect density. Optically, the Al doping increased the light absorbability and widens both of the energy band gap and energy interbands which are present in the band gap of ZnSe films. Moreover, the Al doping into ZnSe lowers the high frequency dielectric constant and enhances the optical conductivity. On the other hand, the capacitance spectra which are studied in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80GHz displayed negative capacitance effect associated with resonance-antiresonance phenomena upon doping of ZnSe with Al. Such enhancements in the physical properties of ZnSe that are achieved via Al doping make the zinc selenide thin films more appropriate for electronic and optoelectronic technological applications.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Characterization of Au/As2< Hybrid Devices Designed for Dual Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier, 2020) Kayed, T. S.; Qasrawi, A. F.In this work, hybrid devices composed of n-As2Se3/p-MoO3 encapsulated between two Schottky shoulders (Au/n-As2Se3, Ag/MoO3) are prepared and characterized. While the structural analyses proofed the preferred growth of monoclinic MoO3 onto amorphous layers of As2Se3, the spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis revealed the high frequency dielectric constants, the effective mass and the negative pseudodielectric constant values. Electrically, the hybrid device displayed both tunneling and standard diode characteristics. As passive mode devices, the capacitance-voltage characteristics displayed the accumulation-depletion -inversion modes in the device. Furthermore, the conductivity spectral analysis has shown that the current conduction is dominated by the quantum mechanical tunneling and correlated barriers hoping mechanisms. The amplitude of the reflection coefficient and the return loss spectral analyses indicated that the hybrid devices are band stop filters in addition to it is usability as nonlinear optical interfaces, CMOS device and tunneling diodes.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Properties of Se/Inse Thin-Film Interface(Springer, 2016) Qasrawi, A. F.; Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Kayed, T. S.; Elsayed, Khaled A.; Kayed, Tarek Said; Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Kayed, Tarek Said; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringSe, InSe, and Se/InSe thin films have been prepared by the physical vapor deposition technique at pressure of similar to 10(-5) torr. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the films and Se/InSe interface were investigated by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. XRD analysis indicated that the prepared InSe films were amorphous while the Se films were polycrystalline having hexagonal structure with unit cell parameters of a = 4.3544 and c = 4.9494 . Spectral reflectance and transmittance analysis showed that both Se and InSe films exhibited indirect allowed transitions with energy bandgaps of 1.92 eV and 1.34 eV, respectively. The Se/InSe interface exhibited two energy bandgaps of 0.98 eV and 1.73 eV above and below 2.2 eV, respectively. Dielectric constant values were also calculated from reflectance spectra for the three layers in the frequency range of 500 THz to 272 THz. The dielectric constant exhibited a promising feature suggesting use of the Se/InSe interface as an optical resonator. Moreover, the Au/Se/InSe/Ag heterojunction showed some rectifying properties that could be used in standard optoelectronic devices. The ideality factor and height of the energy barrier to charge carrier motion in this device were found to be 1.72 and 0.66 eV, respectively.
