Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Growth and Optical Characterization of Sn0.6sb0.4< Layer Single Crystals for Optoelectronic Applications(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Bektas, T.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O.; Isik, M.; Parlak, M.SnSe compound is an attractive semiconductor material due to its usage in photovoltaic applications. The sub-stitution of Sb in the SnSe compound presents a remarkable advantage especially in point of tuning optical characteristics. The present paper reports the structural and optical properties of Sn1-xSbxSe (x = 0.4) layered single crystals grown by the vertical Bridgman method. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first investigation of the Sn0.6Sb0.4Se crystal grown with the vertical Bridgman technique. 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: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Temperature Effects on Optical Characteristics of Cdse Thin Films(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Surucu, O.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.CdSe is one of the significant members of II-VI type semiconducting family and it has a wide range of technological applications in which optoelectronic devices take a special position. The present paper reports the structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated CdSe thin films. XRD pattern exhibited preferential orientation along (111) plane while atomic composition analyses resulted in the ratio of Cd/Se as closer to 1.0. Temperature-dependent band gap characteristics of CdSe thin films were investigated for the first time by carrying out transmission experiments in the 10-300 K range. The analyses showed that direct band gap energy of the compound decreases from 1.750 (at 10 K) to 1.705 eV (at 300 K). Varshni model was successfully applied to the temperature-band gap energy dependency and various optical constants were determined. Raman spectrum of CdSe thin films was also presented to understand the vibrational characteristics of the compound. The present paper would provide worthwhile data to researchers especially studying on optoelectronic device applications of CdSe thin films.
