    Trapping Centers and Their Distribution in Tl2ga2< Layered Single Crystals
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements with current flowing perpendicular to the layers were carried out on Tl2Ga2Se3S layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-260K. The experimental data were analyzed by using different methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and isothermal decay methods. The analysis revealed that there were three trapping centers with activation energies of 12, 76 and 177 meV. It was concluded that retrapping in these centers was negligible, which was confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping. The capture cross section and the concentration of the traps have been also determined. An exponential distribution of electron traps was revealed from the analysis of the TSC data obtained at different light illumination temperatures. This experimental technique provided values of 10 and 88 meV/decade for the traps distribution related to two different trapping centers. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Optical Properties of Cu3in5< Single Crystals by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
    (Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Isik, M.; Nasser, H.; Ahmedova, F.; Guseinov, A.; Gasanly, N. 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.

    Determination of Trapping Parameters of Thermoluminescent Glow Peaks of Semiconducting Tl2ga2< Crystals
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Isik, M.; Yildirim, T.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Thermoluminescence (TL) properties of Tl2Ga2S3Se layered single crystals were researched in the temperature range of 290-770 K. U glow curve exhibited two peaks with maximum temperatures of similar to 373 and 478 K. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used to determine the activation energies of the trapping centers associated with these peaks. Applied methods were in good agreement with the energies of 780 and 950 meV. Capture cross sections and attempt-to-escape frequencies of the trapping centers were reported. An energy level diagram showing transitions in the band gap of the crystal was plotted under the light of the results of the present work and previously reported papers on photoluminescence, thermoluminescence and thermally stimulated current measurements carried out below room temperature.

    Optical Parameters of Anisotropic Chain-Structured Tl2ingate4< Crystals by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
    (Elsevier Gmbh, 2016) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.
    Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were performed on Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals in the 1.2-6.2 eV range for orientations of electric field, parallel (E//c) and perpendicular (E perpendicular to c) to optic axis c. Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary components of the dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient were obtained from the analyses of experimental data using an ambient-substrate optical model. The analysis of the absorption data calculated using the extinction coefficient showed the existence of indirect transitions in the crystal with an energy band gap of similar to 0.72 eV for both orientations. Interband transition (critical point) energies were revealed using second-energy derivative spectra of the dielectric function. The results showed the presence of five each interband transition structures for E//c and E perpendicular to c orientations. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

    Optical Characterization of Cuin5s8< Crystals by Ellipsometry Measurements
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, Nizami
    Optical properties of CuIn5S8 crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by ellipsometry measurements. Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction coefficient, reflectivity and absorption coefficients were obtained from the analysis of ellipsometry experiments performed in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral region. Analysis of spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient revealed the existence of direct band gap transitions with energy 1.53 eV. Wemple-DiDomenico and Spitzer-Fan models were used to find the oscillator energy, dispersion energy, zero-frequency refractive index and high-frequency dielectric constant values. Structural properties of the CuIn5S8 crystals were investigated using X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
