    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.

    Optical Properties of Tl2ingas4< Layered Single Crystal
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2007) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.
    The temperature dependence of the optical band gap of Tl2InGaS4 single crystal in the temperature region of 300-500 K and the room temperature refractive index, n(lambda), have been investigated. The absorption coefficient, which was calculated from the transmittance and reflectance spectra in the incident photon energy range of 2.28-2.48 eV, increased with increasing temperature. Consistently, the absorption edge shifts to lower energy values as temperature increases. The fundamental absorption edge corresponds to an indirect allowed transitions energy gap (2.35 eV) that exhibits a temperature coefficient of -4.03 x 10(-4) eV/K. The room temperature n(lambda), calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the oscillator strength and energy, static and lattice dielectric constants, and static refractive index as 16.78 eV and 3.38 eV, 5.96 and 11.77, and 2.43, respectively.
