Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Thermoluminescence Properties of Al Doped Zno Nanoparticles(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.ZnO nanoparticles doped with aluminum (AZO nanoparticles) were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) and structural characterization experiments. TL experiments were performed on AZO nanoparticles in the temperature range of 10-300 K. TL curve presented one intensive peak around 123 K and two overlapped peaks to intensive peak around 85 and 150 K for heating rate of 0.1 K/s. Curve fitting and initial rise methods were used to find the activation energies of associated trapping centers. Analyses resulted in the presence of three centers at 0.05, 0.08 and 0.17 eV with peak maximum temperatures (T-m) of 86.2, 121.5 and 147.1 K, respectively. TL experiments were expanded using different heating rates between 0.1 K/s and 0.5 K/s. Behavior of revealed traps was investigated using an experimental technique called as T-m - T-stop method. It was seen that traps are quasi-continuously distributed within the band gap. Structural properties were studied using x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy experiments.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12The Defect State of Yb-Doped Zno Nanoparticles Using Thermoluminescence Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Shallow trapping centers in Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were determined using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements applied in the 10-300 K temperature region. Undoped and Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. TL glow curve of undoped nano-particles presented three peaks around 56, 108 and 150 K whereas one additional peak around 83 K was observed in the TL curve of Yb-doped ZnO nano-particles. The increase of Yb concentration in the nanoparticles increased the TL intensity of this additional peak. Activation energies of interstitial defect centers were found as 20, 82 and 105 meV while energy of trapping center existing due to Yb-doping was obtained as 72 meV using curve fitting and initial rise methods.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Study on Thermoluminescence of Tlins2 Layered Crystals Doped With Pr(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Praseodymium (Pr) doped TlInS2 crystals were studied by means of thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature with various heating rates. Detected TL signal exhibited glow curve consisting in overlapping two TL peaks at temperatures of 35 K (peak A) and 48 K (peak B) for 0.6 K/s heating rate. TL curve was analyzed with curve fitting and initial rise methods. Both of the applied methods resulted in consistent activation energies of 19 and 45 meV. The revealed trap levels were found to be dominated by mixed order of kinetics. Various heating rate dependencies of TL glow curves were also investigated and it was found that while peak A shows usual behavior, peak B exhibits anomalous heating rate behavior. Distribution of trap levels was explored using an experimental method called as T-max-T-stop method. Quasi-continuous distributions with increasing activation energies from 19 to 29 meV (peak A) and from 45 to 53 meV (peak B) were ascribed to trap levels. Effect of Pr doping on the TL response of undoped TlInS2 crystals was discussed in the paper.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Thermoluminescence Characterization of (ga2se3< - (ga2s3< Single Crystal Compounds(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Guler, I; Gasanly, N. M.Ga2Se3 and Ga2S3 compounds take attention due to their potential applications in photovoltaics. Defects and impurities may affect the quality of optoelectronic devices. Therefore, it is worthwhile to determine the parameters (activation energy, order of kinetics, frequency factor) of traps associated with the defects and/or impurities. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the trapping parameters of (Ga2Se3)(0.25) - (Ga2S3)(0.75) single crystal which is one of the member of (Ga2Se3)(x) - (Ga2S3)(1-x) mixed crystals. For this purpose, thermoluminescence (TL) experiments were performed on (Ga2Se3)(0.25) - (Ga2S3)(0.75) single crystals in the 10-300 K region. TL spectra were also recorded using various heating rates in between 0.2 and 1.0 K/s and stopping temperatures from 30 to 60 K to get the detailed information about the characteristics of the trapping parameters. TL glow curves exhibited the overlapped peaks. The stopping temperature experimental data indicated that traps present quasi-continuous distribution within the band gap. Initial rise method analyses were applied to get the activation energies of quasi-continuously distributed revealed traps. Thermal activation energies of distributed traps were found as increasing from 108 to 246 meV as stopping temperature was increased from 30 to 60 K. The structural characteristics (lattice constants and atomic compositions of constituent elements) of used compound were also reported in the present study.
