Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 28Optoelectronical Properties of Polycrystalline Β-Gase Thin Films(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2006) Qasrawi, AF; Ahmad, MMSPolycrystalline beta-GaSe thin films were obtained by the thermal evaporation of GaSe crystals onto glass substrates kept at 300 degrees C under a pressure of 10(-5) Torr. The transmittance and reflectance of these films was measured in the incident photon energy range of 1.1-3.70 eV. The absorption coefficient spectral analysis in the sharp absorption region revealed a direct allowed transitions band gap of 1.83 eV. The data analysis allowed the identification of the dispersive optical parameters by calculating the refractive index in the wavelength region of 620-1100 nm. In addition, the photocurrent of the samples was studied as function of incident illumination-intensity and temperature. The photocurrent is found to exhibit sublinear and supralinear character above and below 270 K, respectively. The temperature dependent photocurrent data analysis allowed the calculation of photocurrent activation energies as 603, 119 and 45 meV being dominant in the temperature regions of 250-300 K, 180-240 K and 80-160 K, respectively.

The X-ray analysis revealed that these films are of amorphous nature. The reflectance and transmittance of the films are measured in the incident photon energy range of 1.1-3.0 eV. The absorption coefficient spectral analysis revealed the existence of long and wide band tails of the localized states in the low absorption region. The band tails width is calculated to be 0.42 eV. The analysis of the absorption coefficient in the high absorption region revealed an indirect forbidden band gap of 1.93 eV. The transmittance analysis in the incidence photon wavelength range of 500-1100 nm allowed the determination of refractive index as function of wave length. The refractive index-wavelength variation leads to the determination of dispersion and oscillator energies as 31.23 and 3.90 eV, respectively. The static refractive index and static dielectric constant were also calculated as a result of the later data and found to be 9.0 and 3.0, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Structural, Compositional and Optical Properties of Gallium Selenide Thin Films Doped With Cadmium(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2008) Qasrawi, A. F.; Saleh, A. A.Polycrystalline cadmium doped gallium selenide thin films were obtained by the thermal co-evaporation of GaSe crystals and Cd grains onto glass substrates. The structural, compositional and optical properties of these films have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques, respectively. Particularly, the elemental analysis, the crystalline nature, the energy band gap, the refractive index, the dispersion energy and static dielectric constant have been identified. The absorption coefficient spectral analysis in the sharp absorption region revealed a direct forbidden energy band gap of 1.22 eV. The cadmium doping has caused a significant decrease in the values of the energy band gap and in all the dispersive optical parameters, as well. (C) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinbeim.
