    Characterization of Pbmo0.3w0.7< Crystal: a Potential Material for Photocatalysis and Optoelectronic Applications
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, Nizami Mamed
    PbMo0.3W0.7O4 semiconductor crystal, which contains the balanced ratios of Mo and W, is grown for the first time by Czochralski method. The structural and optical properties of the crystal are investigated in detail in the present study. Structural analysis shows that crystal has tetragonal structure like PbMoO4 and PbWO4 compounds. The optical characteristics are studied by transmission, Raman, FTIR and photoluminescence methods. The bandgap energy is found to be 3.18 eV, and the positions of the conduction and valence bands are determined. The vibrational characteristics are studied by means of Raman and FTIR spectroscopy techniques. Photoluminescence spectrum presents three peaks around 486, 529, and 544 nm which fall into the green emission spectral range. Taking into account the properties of the compound, it is stated that PbMo0.3W0.7O4 (or Pb(MoO4)(0.3)(WO4)(0.7)) has the potential to be used in water splitting applications and optoelectronic devices that emit green light.

    Effect of Temperature on Band Gap of Pbwo4 Single Crystals Grown by Czochralski Method
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2022) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E.
    The structural and optical properties of PbWO4 single crystals grown by Czochralski method and investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission experiments. XRD pattern presented well-defined and intensive peaks related with tetragonal scheelite structure. Transmission experiments were accomplished for the first time at various temperatures between 10 and 300 K on PbWO4 single crystals to reveal variation of band gap with temperature. Derivative spectroscopy method presented the experimentally observed band gap energy as increasing from 3.20 to 3.35 eV when the temperature was decreased to 10 K from room temperature. The revealed energy was associated with transition taking place between delocalized and trap levels. Temperature-band gap energy plot was analyzed by Varshni and Bose-Einstein models. The fitting processes under the light of these models revealed optical characteristics of absolute zero experimentally observed band gap, variation rate of gap energy with temperature and Debye temperature of PbWO4 single crystal.
