    Acoustic Phonons Scattering Mobility and Carrier Effective Mass in In6s7< Crystals
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2006) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Systematic dark electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient measurements have been carried out in the temperature range of 170-320 K on n-type In6S7 crystals. The analysis of the electrical resistivity and carrier concentration reveals the intrinsic type of conduction with an average energy band gap of similar to 0.75 eV The carrier effective masses of the conduction and valence bands were calculated from the intrinsic temperature-dependent carrier concentration data and were found to be 0.565m(0) and 2.020m(0), respectively. The temperature-dependent Hall mobility was observed to follow the mu alpha T-3/2 law and was analyzed assuming the domination of acoustic phonons scattering. The acoustic phonons scattering mobility was calculated from the crystal's structural data with no assumptions. The experimental Hall mobility data of In6S7 crystals coincides with the theoretical acoustic phonons scattering mobility data with acoustic deformation potential of 6.4 eV. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

    Optical Properties of Tlgaxin1-x< Mixed Crystals (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1) by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, Transmission, and Reflection
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xSe2-mixed crystals (0.5 <= x <= 1) were studied for the first time by spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The spectral dependence of the components of the complex dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient were revealed using an optical model. The interband transition energies in the studied samples were found from the analysis of the second-energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric function. The effect of the isomorphic cation substitution (indium for gallium) on critical point energies in TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals was established. Moreover, the absorption edge of TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 nm. The analysis of absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions. It was found that the energy band gaps decrease with the increase of indium content in the studied crystals.

    Dispersive Optical Constants of Thermally Deposited Agin5s8< Thin Films
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.
    Agln(5)S(8) thin films were obtained by the thermal evaporation of Agln(5)S(8) crystals onto ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates. The films are found to exhibit polycrystalline cubic structure. The calculated lattice parameter of the unit cell (a) is 10.78 angstrom. The transmittance data of the as grown films which was recorded at 300 K in the incidence wavelength (lambda) range of 320-1000 nm are used to calculate the refractive, n(lambda). The transmittance and reflectance data are also used to calculate the absorption coefficient of the as grown Agln5S8 thin films. The fundamental absorption edge is found to be corresponding to a direct allowed transitions energy band gap. This band-to-band transition energy is found to be 1.78 eV and it is consistent with that reported for Agln(5)S(8) single crystals. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Photoelectronic and Electrical Properties of Tl2ingas4< Layered Crystals
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2007) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Tl2InGaS4 layered crystals are studied through the dark electrical conductivity, space charge limited current and illumination- and temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements in the temperature regions of 220-350 K, 300-400 K and 200-350 K, respectively. The space charge limited current measurements revealed the existence of a single discrete trapping level located at 0.44 eV. The dark electrical conductivity showed the existence of two energy levels of 0.32 eV and 0.60 eV being dominant above and below 300 K, respectively. The photoconductivity measurements reflected the existence of two other energy levels located at 0.28 eV and 0.19 eV at high and low temperatures, respectively. The photocurrent is observed to increase with increasing temperature up to a maximum temperature of 330 K. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity is found to exhibit supralinear recombination in all the studied temperature ranges. The change in recombination mechanism is attributed to exchange in the behavior of sensitizing and recombination centers. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Defect Characterization of Ga4se3< Layered Single Crystals by Thermoluminescence
    (indian Acad Sciences, 2016) Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Gasanly, N.
    Trapping centres in undoped Ga4Se3S single crystals grown by Bridgman method were characterized for the first time by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements carried out in the low-temperature range of 15-300 K. After illuminating the sample with blue light (similar to 470 nm) at 15 K, TL glow curve exhibited one peak around 74 K when measured with a heating rate of 0.4 K/s. The results of the various analysis methods were in good agreement about the presence of one trapping centre with an activation energy of 27 meV. Analysis of curve fitting method indicated that mixed order of kinetics dominates the trapping process. Heating rate dependence and distribution of the traps associated with the observed TL peak were also studied. The shift of peak maximum temperature from 74 to 113 K with increasing rate from 0.4 to 1.2 K/s was revealed. Distribution of traps was investigated using an experimental technique based on cleaning the centres giving emission at lower temperatures. Activation energies of the levels were observed to be increasing from 27 to 40 meV by rising the stopping temperature from 15 to 36 K.

    Temperature Dependence of the Band Gap, Refractive Index and Single-Oscillator Parameters of Amorphous Indium Selenide Thin Films
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2007) Qasrawi, A. F.
    InSe thin films are obtained by evaporating InSe crystal onto ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates under pressure of similar to 10(-5) Torr. The structural and compositional analysis revealed that these films are of amorphous nature and are atomically composed of similar to 51% In and similar to 49% Se. The reflectance and transmittance of the films are measured at various temperatures (300-450 K) in the incident photon energy range of 1.1-2.1 eV. The direct allowed transitions band gap - calculated at various temperatures - show a linear dependence on temperature. The absolute zero value band gap and the rate of change of the band gap with temperature are found to be (1.62 +/- 0.01) eV and -(4.27 +/- 0.02) x 10(-4) eV/K, respectively. The room temperature refractive index is estimated from the transmittance spectrum. The later analysis allowed the identification of the static refractive index, static dielectric constant, oscillator strength and oscillator energy. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Determination of optical parameters of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered crystals
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2012) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The optical properties of the Ga0.75In0.25Se crystals have been investigated by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380-1100 nm. The analysis of the results performed at room temperature revealed the presence of optical indirect transtions with band gap energy of 1.89 eV. The variation of the band gap energy as a function of temperature was also studied in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The rate of change of band gap energy (? = 6.2 x 10(4) eV/K) and absolute zero value of the band gap (Egi(0) = 2.01 eV) were reported. The wavelength dependence of the refractive index was analyzed using Wemple and DiDomenico, Sellmeier and Cauchy models to find the oscillator energy, dispersion energy, oscillator strength and zero-frequency refractive index values.

    Crystal Data and Indirect Optical Transitions in Tl2ingase4< Crystals
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The room temperature crystal data and the optical properties of the Bridgman method grown Tl2InGaSe4 crystals are reported and discussed. The X-ray diffraction technique has revealed that Tl2InGaSe4 is a single phase crystal of monoclinic structure. The unit cell lattice parameters, which were recalculated from the X-ray data, are found to be a = 0.77244 nm, b = 0.64945 nm, c = 0.92205 nm and beta = 95.03 degrees. The temperature dependence of the optical band gap of Tl2InGaSe4 single crystal in the temperature region of 290-500 K has also been investigated. The absorption coefficient was calculated from the transmittance and reflectance data in the incident photon energy range of 1.60-2.10 eV. The absorption edge is observed to shift toward lower energy values as temperature increases. The fundamental absorption edge corresponds to indirect allowed transition energy gap of 1.86 eV that exhibited a temperature coefficient gamma = -3.53 x 10(-4) eV/K. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

    Hydrogen Implantation Effects on the Electrical and Optical Properties of Inse Thin Films
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2012) Qasrawi, Atef Fayez; Ilaiwi, Khaled Faysal; Polimeni, Antonio
    The effects of hydrogen ion implantation on the structural, electrical and optical properties of amorphous InSe thin films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed no change in the structure of the films. An implantation of 7.3 x 10(18) ions/cm(2) decreased the electrical conductivity by three orders of magnitude at 300 K. Similarly, the conductivity activation energy, which was calculated in the temperature range of 300-420 K, decreased from 210 to 78 meV by H-ion implantation. The optical measurements showed that the direct allowed transitions energy band gap of amorphous InSe films has decreased from 1.50 to 0.97 eV by implantation. Furthermore, significant decreases in the dispersion and oscillator energy, static refractive index and static dielectric constants are also observed by hydrogen implantation.

    Trap Distribution in Tlins2 Layered Crystals From Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements
    (Korean Physical Soc, 2008) Isik, M.; Goksen, K.; Gasanly, N. M.; Ozkan, H.
    We have carried out thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements with the current flowing along the layer on as-grown TlInS2 layered single crystals in the low temperature range 10 - 110 K with different heating rates of 0.1 - 1.5 K/s. Experimental evidence was found for the presence of two shallow electron trapping centers with activation energies of 12 and 14 meV. Their capture cross sections have been determined as 2.2 x 10(-23) and 7.1 x 10(-25) cm(2), respectively. It was concluded that retrapping in these centers is negligible, which was confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the model that assumed slow retrapping. An exponential distribution of electron traps was revealed from the analysis of the TSC data obtained at different light excitation temperatures. This experimental technique provided a value of 27 meV/decade for the trap distribution. The parameters of the monoclinic unit cell were determined by studying the X-ray powder diffraction.
