Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Effect 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.

R.; Nazzal, Eman O.; Qasrawi, A. F.In this work, an indium layer of 50 nm thicknesses is sandwiched between two 500 nm thick Ga2S3 layers. The effect of indium nansandwiching on the composition, structure, morphology, light absorbability, capacitance and reactance spectra, and temperature dependent electrical conductivity of the Ga2S3 films are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, visible light spectrophotometry, impedance spectroscopy and current voltage characteristics. While the nansandwiched films are observed to exhibit an amorphous nature of structure with indium content of Owing to the nucleation mechanisms that take place during the film growth, the accumulation of some unit cells in groups to form grains should be a significant reason for the existence of many different sizes of grains in the nanosand-wiched films (Alharbi and Qasrawi, 2016). 0, the Raman spectra displayed three vibrational modes at 127.7,145.0 and 274.3 cm(-1). It was also observed that the indium insertion in the structure of the Ga2S3 shrinks the energy band gap by 0.18 eV. The nanosandwiched films are observed to exhibit a semiconductor metal (SM) transition at 310 K. The SM transition is associated with thermal hysteresis that exhibited a maximum value of 16% at 352 K. This behavior of the nanosandwiched films nominate it for use as thermally controlled electric switches. In addition, the impedance spectral analysis in the range of 10-1800 MHz has shown a capacitance tunability of more than 70%. The measurements of the wave trapping property displayed a bandpass/reject filter characteristics above 1.0 GHz which allow using the Ga2S3/In/Ga2S3 thin films as microwave resonator.
