(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Cosar, M. B.; Coşar, Batuhan Mustafa; Ozhan, A. E. S.; Aydogdu, G. H.; Coşar, Batuhan Mustafa; Computer Engineering; Computer Engineering
Ion beam sputtering is one of the widely used methods for manufacturing laser optical components due to its advantages such as uniformity, reproducibility, suitability for multilayer coatings and growth of dielectric materials with high packing densities. In this study, single Ta2O5 layers and Ta2O5/SiO2 heterostructures were deposited on optical quality glass substrates by dual ion beam sputtering. We focused on the effect of deposition conditions like substrate cleaning, assistance by 12 cm diameter ion beam source and oxygen partial pressure on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 single layers. After-wards, the obtained information is employed to a sample design and produces a Ta2O5/SiO2 multilayer structure demonstrating low laser-induced damage without a post treatment procedure.

Dielectric Dispersion in Ga₂s_{3< Thin Films}
(Springer, 2017) Alharbi, S. R.; Qasrawi, A. F.
In this work, the structural, compositional, optical, and dielectric properties of Ga2S3 thin films are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray analysis, and ultraviolet-visible light spectrophotometry. The Ga2S3 thin films which exhibited amorphous nature in its as grown form are observed to be generally composed of 40.7 % Ga and 59.3 % S atomic content. The direct allowed transitions optical energy bandgap is found to be 2.96 eV. On the other hand, the modeling of the dielectric spectra in the frequency range of 270-1,000 THz, using the modified Drude-Lorentz model for electron-plasmon interactions revealed the electrons scattering time as 1.8 (fs), the electron bounded plasma frequency as similar to 0.76-0.94 (GHz) and the reduced resonant frequency as 2.20-4.60 x10(15) (Hz) in the range of 270-753 THz. The corresponding drift mobility of electrons to the terahertz oscillating incident electric field is found to be 7.91 (cm (2)/Vs). The values are promising as they nominate the Ga2S3 thin films as effective candidates in thin-film transistor and gas sensing technologies.

Plasmon-Electron Dynamics at the Au/Inse and Y/Inse Interfaces Designed as Dual Gigahertz-Terahertz Filters
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer verlag, 2017) Alharbi, S. R.; Qasrawi, A. F.
In this work, the X-ray diffraction, the Scanning electron microscopy, the energy dispersive X-ray, the Raman, The UV-vis light and the impedance spectral techniques are employed to explore the structural, vibrational, optical and electrical properties of the Au/InSe and Y/InSe thin film interfaces. It was shown that with its amorphous nature of crystallization, the InSe thin films exhibited n-type conductivity due to the 3% excess selenium. For this form of InSe, the only active Raman spectral line is 121 (cm(-1)). In addition to the design of the energy band diagram, the analysis the dielectric spectra and the optical conductivities were possible in the frequency range of 270-1000 THz. The modeling of the optical conductivities of the Au, Y, Au/InSe and Y/InSe with the help of Lorentz approach for optical conduction, assured that the conduction is dominated by the resonant plasmon-electron interactions at the metals and metals/semiconductors interfaces. It also allowed tabulating the necessary parameters for possible applications in terahertz technology: These parameters are the electron effective masses, the free electron densities, the electron bounded plasmon frequencies, the electron scattering times, the reduced resonant frequencies and the drift mobilities. On the other hand, the impedance spectral analysis of the Y/InSe/Au interfaces in the frequency range of 0.01-1.80 GHz, revealed negative capacitance effect associated with band filter features that exhibit maximum transition line at 1.17 GHz. This value nominates the interface as a member of filter classes in the gigahertz technology. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Design of the Zns/Ge pn Interfaces as Plasmonic, Photovoltaic and Microwave Band Stop Filters
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Alharbi, S. R.; Qasrawi, A. F.
In the current work, we report and discuss the features of the design of a ZnS (300 nm)/Ge (300 nm)/GaSe (300 nm) thin film device. The device is characterized by the X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), optical spectroscopy, microwave power spectroscopy and light power dependent photoconductivity. While the X-ray diffraction technique revealed a polycrystalline ZnS coated with two amorphous layers of Ge and GaSe, the hot probe tests revealed the formation of pn interface. The optical spectra which were employed to reveal the conduction and valence band offsets at the ZnS/Ge and Ge/GaSe interface indicated information about the dielectric dispersion at the interface. The dielectric spectra of the ZnS/Ge/GaSe heterojunction which was modeled assuming the domination of surface plasmon interactions through the films revealed a pronounced increase in the drift mobility of free carriers in the three layers compared to the single and double layers. In the scope of the fitting parameters, a wave trap that exhibit filtering properties at notch frequency of 2.30 GHz was designed and tested. The ac signals power spectrum absorption reached similar to 99%. In addition, the photocurrent analysis on the ZnS/Ge/GaSe interface has shown it is suitability for photovoltaic and photosensing applications. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Transient and Steady State Photoelectronic Analysis in Tlinse₂ Crystals
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
The temperature and illumination effects on the transient and steady state photoconductivities of TlInSe2 crystals have been studied. Namely, two recombination centres located at 234 and at 94 meV and one trap center located at 173 meV were determined from the temperature-dependent steady state and transient photoconductivities, respectively. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity indicated the domination of sublinear and supralinear recombination mechanisms above and below 160 K, respectively. The change in the recombination mechanism is attributed to the exchange of roles between the linear recombination at the surface and trapping centres in the crystal, which become dominant as temperature decreases. The transient photoconductivity measurement allowed the determination of the capture coefficient of traps for holes as 3.11 x 10(-22) cm(-2). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Design and Applications of Yb/Ga_{2< Schottky Barriers}
(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2017) Khanfar, Hazem K.; Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Qasrawi, Atef F.; Zakarneh, Yasmeen A.; Gasanly, N. M.; Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
In this paper, the Ga2Se3 crystals are used to design a Yb/Ga2Se3/C Schottky barrier. The device structure is investigated by the X-ray diffraction technique, which reveals a monoclinic-face-centered cubic interfacing type of structure. The barrier is studied by means of current (I)-voltage (V) characteristics in the dark and under light through photoexcitation from tungsten lamp and from the He-Ne laser. In addition, the impedance spectroscopy of these devices is studied in the frequency range of 10-1400 MHz. The photoexcited I-V curve analysis allowed investigating the biasing voltage, illumination power, and energy effects on the diode physical parameters, which are presented by the rectification ratio, the Schottky barrier height, the ideality factor, the series resistance, the photosensitivity, the responsivity, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE). While a maximum photosensitivity of 42 was observed for laser excitation with a wavelength of 632 nm at a reverse bias of 4.4 V, the EQE reached value of 1652% at 19.0 V. On the other hand, the ac current conduction analysis of the electrical conductivity, which was determined from the impedance spectral analysis, indicated that the ac signal processing through the Yb/Ga2Se3/C samples is due to the correlated hopping conduction through localized states of Fermi density of 3.98 x 10(19) eV(-1) cm(-3). The high-and biasing-dependent EQE% nominates the Yb/Ga2Se3/C as a tunable optoelectronic device.

Effect of Ytterbium, Gold and Aluminum Transparent Metallic Substrates on the Performance of the Ga₂s_{3< Thin Film Devices}
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Alharbi, S. R.; Qasrawi, A. F.
In the current work, the structural, optical, dielectric and electrical properties of the Ga2S3 thin films which are deposited onto transparent thin Al, Yb and Au metal substrates are characterized by means of transmittance electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet visible light spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy techniques. The effects of the metallic substrates on the crystalline nature, energy band gap and dielectric spectra are also investigated. The modeling of the dielectric spectra allowed determining the effect of the Al, Yb and Au thin layers on the electron scattering time, the plasmon frequency, free electron density and drift mobility. In addition, a Yb/Ga2S3/Au Schottky barrier and All Ga2S3/Au back to back Schottky barrier devices (metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device) are fabricated and characterized by means of capacitance-voltage characteristics and capacitance and conductance spectra in the frequency range of 10-1800 MHz. While the Schottky barrier device displayed three distinct positions of resonance-antiresonance phenomena, the MSM device displayed one peak with narrow bandwidth of 10 MHz. The MSM devices exhibited an inversion, depletion and accumulation modes within a voltage range of 0.25 V width at 250 MHz. The study indicates the applicability of these device as smart capacitive switches, as Plasmon devices and as wavetraps. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Physical Design and Dynamical Analysis of Resonant-Antiresonant Ag/MgO/GaSe/Al Optoelectronic Microwave Devices
(Springer, 2015) Kmail, Renal R. N.; Qasrawi, A. F.
In this work, the design and optical and electrical properties of MgO/GaSe heterojunction devices are reported and discussed. The device was designed using 0.4-mu m-thick n-type GaSe as substrate for a 1.6-mu m-thick p-type MgO optoelectronic window. The device was characterized by means of ultraviolet-visible optical spectrophotometry in the wavelength region from 200 nm to 1100 nm, current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, impedance spectroscopy in the range from 1.0 MHz to 1.8 GHz, and microwave amplitude spectroscopy in the frequency range from 1.0 MHz to 3.0 GHz. Optical analysis of the MgO/GaSe heterojunction revealed enhanced absorbing ability of the GaSe below 2.90 eV with an energy bandgap shift from 2.10 eV for the GaSe substrate to 1.90 eV for the heterojunction design. On the other hand, analysis of I-V characteristics revealed a tunneling-type device conducting current by electric field-assisted tunneling of charged particles through a barrier with height of 0.81 eV and depletion region width of 670 nm and 116 nm when forward and reverse biased, respectively. Very interesting features of the device are observed when subjected to alternating current (ac) signal analysis. In particular, the device exhibited resonance-antiresonance behavior and negative capacitance characteristics near 1.0 GHz. The device quality factor was similar to 10(2). In addition, when a small ac signal of Bluetooth amplitude (0.0 dBm) was imposed between the device terminals, the power spectra of the device displayed tunable band-stop filter characteristics with maximum notch frequency of 1.6 GHz. The energy bandgap discontinuity, the resonance-antiresonance behavior, the negative capacitance features, and the tunability of the electromagnetic power spectra at microwave frequencies nominate the Ag/MgO/GaSe/Al device as a promising optoelectronic device for use in multipurpose operations at microwave frequencies.

Optical Characterization of Cuin₅s_{8< Crystals by Ellipsometry Measurements}
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, Nizami
Optical 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. All rights reserved.

Effect of Au/Ge Substrate on the Properties of Gase
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Qasrawi, A. F.; Abdallah, Maisam M. A.
In this work, the effect of glass/Ge and Au/Ge substrate on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the GaSe thin films is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible light spectrophotometry and impedance spectroscopy techniques, respectively. While the glass/Ge, glass/GaSe and glass/Ge/GaSe are observed to exhibit amorphous nature of structure, the Au/Ge, and Au/Ge/GaSe are of polycrystalline nature. The formation of the Ge/GaSe interface exhibited high conduction band offset of value of 0.90 eV and enhanced the light absorbability of GaSe at 1.47 eV by 80 times. In addition, the modeling of the dielectric spectra for the Ge/GaSe interface revealed optical conductivity parameters presented by scattering time at femtosecond level and improvement of the drift mobility. Moreover, the impedance spectroscopy measurements have shown that with the increasing frequency, the Au/Ge/GaSe/Yb interface exhibit increasing trend of variation in the resistance causing high impedance mode associated with negative capacitance values below 1300 MHz. The effect is completely reversed in the higher range of frequency. These features of the Ge/GaSe interface nominate it as plasmonic interface, microwave cavities and as voltage amplifiers in low power nanoscale devices. (C) 2018 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
