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.

M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) were studied 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 variation of the obtained energies with composition were plotted to see the effect of the substitution of indium with gallium. Moreover, a simple diagram showing the revealed transitions in the available electronic band structure was given for TlGaS2 single crystals. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

M.Thermally deposited Cu-Ga-S thin films were optically characterized by means of experimental techniques of transmission measurements. The analyses of transmittance spectra were accomplished by derivative spectrophotometry analyses to get gap energies of thin films. The transmittance spectra of thin films annealed at different temperatures presented interference fringes which were analyzed by Swanepoel envelope method. The wavelength dependencies of optical parameters; refractive index (n), real part of complex dielectric function (epsilon(re)) and extinction coefficient (k) were reported in the weak absorption region. The photon energy dependencies of n and epsilon(re) were analyzed using single-oscillator and Spitzer-Fan models, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Energy Band Gap and Dispersive Optical Parameters in Bi1.5zn0.92< Pyrochlore Ceramics(Elsevier Science Sa, 2010) Qasrawi, A. F.; Mergen, A.The compositional and optical properties of Bi1.5Zn0.92Nb1.5O6.92 Pyrochlore ceramics have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. The SEM spectroscopy revealed that the pyrochlore exhibits a very dense microstructure with single-phase appearance. The absorption spectral analysis in the sharp absorption region revealed an indirect forbidden transitions band gap of 3.30 eV. The room temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static and lattice dielectric constants and static refractive index as 26.69 and 3.37 eV, 8.92 and 15.95 and 2.98, respectively.

M.Cu3In5S9 single crystals were investigated by structural methods of x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy and optical techniques of ellipsometry and reflection carried out at room temperature. The spectral dependencies of optical constants; dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient, were plotted in the range of 1.2-6.2 eV from ellipsometric data. The spectra of optical constants obtained from ellipsometry analyses and reflectance spectra presented a sharp change around 1.55 and 1.50 eV, respectively, which are associated with band gap energy of the crystal. The critical point (interband transition) energies were also found from the analyses of second-energy derivative of real and imaginary components of dielectric function. The analyses indicated the presence of four critical points at 2.73, 135, 4.04 and 4.98 eV.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Infrared and Raman Scattering Spectra of Layered Structured Ga3inse4< Crystals(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Korkmaz, F.The infrared reflectivity and transmittance and Raman scattering in Ga3InSe4 layered crystals were investigated in the frequency ranges of 100-400, 400-4000 and 25-500 cm(-1). The refractive and absorption indices, the frequencies of transverse and longitudinal optical modes, high- and low-frequency dielectric constants were obtained from the analysis of the IR reflectivity spectra. The bands observed in IR transmittance spectra were interpreted in terms of two-phonon absorption processes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

F.Polycrystalline AgIn5S8 thin films are obtained by the thermal evaporation of AgIn5S8 crystals onto ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates under a pressure of similar to 1.3 x 10(-3) Pa. The temperature dependence of the optical band gap and photoconductivity of these films was studied in the temperature regions of 300-450 K and 40-300 K, respectively. The heat treatment effect at annealing temperatures of 350, 450 and 550 K on the temperature dependent photoconductivity is also investigated. The absorption coefficient, which was studied in the incidence photon energy range of 1.65-2.55 eV, increased with increasing temperature. Consistently, the absorption edge shifts to lower energy values as temperature increases. The fundamental absorption edge which corresponds to a direct allowed transition energy band gap of 1.78 eV exhibited a temperature coefficient of -3.56 x 10(-4) eV/K. The 0 K energy band gap is estimated as 1.89 eV. AgIn5S8 films are observed to be photoconductive. The highest and most stable temperature invariant photocurrent was obtained at an annealing temperature of 550 K. The photoconductivity kinetics was attributed to the structural modifications caused by annealing and due to the trapping-recombination centers' exchange. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystal grown by the Czochralski method were investigated by virtue of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. XRD analysis indicated that the studied crystal possesses cubic structure with lattice parameters of a = 1.0107 nm. Spectral dependencies of several optical parameters like complex dielectric constant, refractive index, extinction and absorption coefficients were determined using ellipsometry experiments performed in the energy region of 1.2-6.2 eV. The energy band gap of Bi12SiO20 crystals was found to be 3.25 eV by utilizing absorption coefficient analysis. Moreover, critical point energies were calculated as 3.54, 4.02, 4.82 and 5.58 eV from analyses of the second energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric constant.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Temperature -Dependent Optical and Electrical Characterization of Cu-Ga Thin Films and Their Diode Characteristics on N-Si(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.In this paper, optical and electrical properties of thermally deposited Cu-Ga-S thin films were investigated using temperature-dependent optical transmission and electrical conductivity measurements. The analysis of the transmission spectra resulted in formation of three direct optical transitions due to the possible valence band splitting in the structure. The band gap values were calculated by means of absorption coefficient and incident photon energy was found in decreasing behavior as the temperature rises. The measured current-voltage values were used to extract the conductivity values which stand in the range of 1.73-2.62 (x104 O-1 cm-1) depending on the ambient temperature. These dark conductivity values were modeled by thermionic emission mechanism. The conductivity activation energies in the structures were calculated as 6.4, 14.5 and 40.7 meV according to the effects of grain boundary potentials. In addition, the films deposited on n-Si wafer showed a diode characteristic under the applied bias voltage between indium (In) front and silver (Ag) back contacts. From current-voltage measurements across the Si-based diode, about four orders of magnitude rectification was observed and the results were analyzed to determine the main diode parameters at dark and room temperature conditions.
