M.The layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xSe2-mixed crystals (0.5 <= x <= 1) were studied for the first time by spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The spectral dependence of the components of the complex dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient were revealed using an optical model. The interband transition energies in the studied samples were found from the analysis of the second-energy derivative spectra of the complex dielectric function. The effect of the isomorphic cation substitution (indium for gallium) on critical point energies in TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals was established. Moreover, the absorption edge of TlGaxIn1-xSe2 crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500-1100 nm. The analysis of absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions. It was found that the energy band gaps decrease with the increase of indium content in the studied crystals.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Growth and Temperature Tuned Band Gap Characteristics of Nabi(moo4)2< Single Crystal(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2023) Isik, M.; Guler, I; Gasanly, N.

F.; Yumusak, G.; Mergen, A.In this work, physical properties of neodymium tin oxide pyrochlore ceramics prepared by solid state reaction technique are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry and temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements. The pyrochlore is observed to have a cubic FCC crystal lattice with lattice parameter of 10.578 angstrom. The planes of the cubic cell are best oriented in the [2 2 2] direction. From the X-ray, the UV-Vis spectrophotometry and the electrical resistivity data analysis, the grain size, strain, dislocation density, optical and thermal energy band gaps, localized energy band tail states and resistivity activation energies are determined and discussed. The pyrochlore is observed to have an optical energy band gap of similar to 3.40 eV. This value corresponds to 365 nm UV light spectra which nominates the neodymium tin oxide pyrochlore ceramics for the use as UV sensors.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Determination of optical parameters of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered crystals(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2012) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.The optical properties of the Ga0.75In0.25Se crystals have been investigated by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380-1100 nm. The analysis of the results performed at room temperature revealed the presence of optical indirect transtions with band gap energy of 1.89 eV. The variation of the band gap energy as a function of temperature was also studied in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The rate of change of band gap energy (? = 6.2 x 10(4) eV/K) and absolute zero value of the band gap (Egi(0) = 2.01 eV) were reported. The wavelength dependence of the refractive index was analyzed using Wemple and DiDomenico, Sellmeier and Cauchy models to find the oscillator energy, dispersion energy, oscillator strength and zero-frequency refractive index values.

KGaA, Weinheim)Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Enhancement of Nonlinear Optical and Dielectric Properties of Cu2o Films Sandwiched With Indium Slabs(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2020) Omar, Ahmad; Qasrawi, Atef F.In this work, the effects of the insertion of indium slabs of thickness 100 nm on the performance of stacked layers of Cu2O are reported. Cu2O/In/Cu2O thin films coated onto ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates are structurally, morphologically, optically, and dielectrically studied. The glassy films of Cu2O display larger, well-ordered grains in an amorphous sea of Cu2O upon insertion of indium slabs between layers of Cu2O. Optically, the indium slabs increase the light absorbability in the IR region by 12.5 times, narrow the energy bandgap, and widen the energy band tails region. They also enhance the nonlinearity in the dielectric response and increase the dielectric constant values by 2.5 times. In addition, the optical conductivity parameters are obtained from the fittings of the dielectric spectra. The analyses reveal an enhancement in the drift mobility, plasmon frequency, and free carrier density via stacking of the indium layer between layers of Cu2O. The drift mobility and plasmon frequency values reach 232.4 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and 3.95 GHz at a reduced hole-plasmon frequency value of 6.0 x 10(14) Hz (2.48 eV). The values are promising as they indicate the applicability of Cu2O/In/Cu2O interfaces in optoelectronics as thin film transistors and electromagnetic wave cavities.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 15Effect 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.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Temperature-Dependent Optical Properties of Gase Layered Single Crystals(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Isik, M.; Tugay, E.; Gasanly, N. M.Optical properties of GaSe single crystals have been investigated using temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380-1100nm. The analysis of the absorption data at room temperature showed the existence of indirect transitions in the crystal with energy band gap of 1.98eV. Temperature dependence of the transmission measurements revealed the shift of the absorption edge toward lower energy as temperature is increased from 10 to 280K. The rate of change of the indirect band gap was found as =-6.6x10(-4)eV/K from the analysis of experimental data under the light of theoretical relation giving the band gap energy as a function of temperature. The absolute zero value of the band gap energy and Debye temperature were calculated from the same analysis. The Wemple-DiDomenico single-effective-oscillator model applied to refractive index dispersion data was used to determine the oscillator energy, dispersion energy, oscillator strength and zero-frequency refractive index values.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Influence of Temperature on Optical Properties of Electron-Beam Znse Thin Film(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.Structural and optical properties of ZnSe thin films grown by electron-beam evaporation technique were reported in the present paper. X-ray diffraction pattern exhibited a single peak around 27 degrees which is well-suited with cubic phase of the films. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses resulted in atomic composition ratio of Zn/Se nearly 1.0 which corresponds to the chemical formula of ZnSe. Transmission experiments were performed at various temperatures in between 10 and 300 K. The analyses of the transmission data showed that direct band gap energy of the ZnSe thin films increases from 2.72 to 2.83 eV as temperature was reduced to 10 K from room temperature. The Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen models giving the temperature-band gap energy relation were used to get various optical parameters of the evaporated thin films. Analyses resulted in absolute zero temperature band gap energy as 2.83 eV, temperature coefficient as -5.8 x 10(-4) eV K-1 and average phonon energy as 16 meV. Urbach tail state energies were also calculated using absorption coefficient in the low photon energy region as increasing from 173 meV (300 K) to 181 meV (10 K) with decreasing ambient temperature.
