Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Structural and Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated (gase)0.75-(gas)0.25 Thin Films(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Emir, C.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringGaSe and GaS binary semiconducting compounds are layered structured and have been an attractive research interest in two-dimensional material research area. The present paper aims at growing (GaSe)0.75 - (GaS)0.25 (or simply GaSe0.75S0.25) thin film and investigating its structural and optical properties. Thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique using evaporation source of its single crystal grown by Bridgman method. The structural properties were revealed using x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. XRD pattern and EDS analyses indicated that thin films annealed at 300 ?C were successfully deposited and its structural characteristics are well-consistent with its single crystal form. Surface morphology was studied by means of SEM and AFM measurements. Optical properties were investigated by transmission and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Raman spectrum exhibited three peaks around 172, 242 and 342 cm-1. Analyses of transmission spectrum revealed the direct band gap energy as 2.34 eV. The mixed compounds of GaSe0.75S0.25 were prepared for the first time in a thin film form and the results of the present paper would provide valuable information to research area in which layered compounds have been studied in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 24Temperature Dependence of Band Gaps in Sputtered Snse Thin Films(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Parlak, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Temperature-dependent transmission experiments were performed for tin selenide (SnSe) thin films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering method in between 10 and 300 K and in the wavelength region of 400-1000 nm. Transmission spectra exhibited sharp decrease near the absorption edge around 900 nm. The transmittance spectra were analyzed using Tauc relation and first derivative spectroscopy techniques to get band gap energy of the SnSe thin films. Both of the applied methods resulted in existence of two band gaps with energies around 1.34 and 1.56 eV. The origin of these band gaps was investigated and it was assigned to the splitting of valence band into two bands due to spin-orbit interaction. Alteration of these band gap values due to varying sample temperature of the thin films were also explored in the study. It was seen that the gap energy values increased almost linearly with decreasing temperature as expected according to theoretical knowledge.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Investigation of Structural and Optical Characteristics of Thermally Evaporated Ga2se3< Thin Films(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Ga2Se3 thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and structural, optical characteristics of the deposited thin films were investigated in the present study. X-ray diffraction pattern of the thin film exhibited one intensive and sharp peak associated with (111) plane of cubic crystalline structure of the compound. Energy dispersive spectroscopic analyses pointed out the atomic compositional ratio of the constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of Ga2Se3. The optical characteristics of thin film were studied by means of temperature-dependent transmission experiments carried out in between 10 and 300 K. The analyses to get band gap energies at applied temperatures were accomplished using absorption coefficient according to Tauc relation and derivative transmittance spectra. Absorption coefficient analyses end up with band gap energies increasing from 2.60 eV (room temperature) to 2.67 eV (10 K). The derivatives of transmittance spectra were also utilized for purpose and band gap energies were found very closer (max. +/- 0.02 eV deviation) to those of absorption coefficient analyses. Varshni and Fan models were applied to band gap energy vs. temperature plot and various optical parameters of Ga2Se3 thin film were determined.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 47Structural and Temperature-Dependent Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated Cds Thin Films(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Delice, S.; Parlak, M.; Gasanly, N. M.In this work, structural and temperature dependent optical properties of thermally evaporated CdS thin films were investigated. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy experiments were carried out to characterize the thin films and obtain information about the crystal structure, atomic composition, surface morphology and vibrational modes. Temperature-dependent transmission measurements were performed in between 10 and 300 K and in the spectral range of 400-1050 nm. The analyses of transmittance spectra were accomplished by two different methods called as the absorption coefficient and the derivative spectrophotometry analyses. All evaluated band gap energy values at each studied temperature were in good agreement with each other depending on the applied analyses techniques. Room temperature gap energy values were found around 2.39 eV and 2.40 eV from absorption coefficient and derivative spectrophotometry analyses, respectively. Band gap energy depending on the sample temperature was studied under the light of two different models to investigate average phonon energy, electron phonon coupling parameter and the rate of change of band gap energy with temperature.
