Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 30Composition-tuned band gap energy and refractive index in GaSxSe1-x layered mixed crystals(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Isik, Mehmet; Gasanly, NizamiTransmission and reflection measurements on GaSxSe1-x mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) were carried out in the 400-1000 nm spectral range. Band gap energies of the studied crystals were obtained using the derivative spectra of transmittance and reflectance. The compositional dependence of band gap energy revealed that as sulfur (selenium) composition is increased (decreased) in the mixed crystals, band gap energy increases quadratically from 1.99 eV (GaSe) to 2.55 eV (GaS). Spectral dependencies of refractive indices of the mixed crystals were plotted using the reflectance spectra. It was observed that refractive index decreases nearly in a linear behavior with increasing band gap energy for GaSxSe1-x mixed crystals. Moreover, the composition ratio of the mixed crystals was obtained from the energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. The atomic compositions of the studied crystals are well-matched with composition x increasing from 0 to 1 by intervals of 0.25. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

H.; Isik, M.; Surucu, O.; Gasanly, N. M.; Parlak, M.CdSe is one of the significant members of II-VI type semiconducting family and it has a wide range of technological applications in which optoelectronic devices take a special position. The present paper reports the structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated CdSe thin films. XRD pattern exhibited preferential orientation along (111) plane while atomic composition analyses resulted in the ratio of Cd/Se as closer to 1.0. Temperature-dependent band gap characteristics of CdSe thin films were investigated for the first time by carrying out transmission experiments in the 10-300 K range. The analyses showed that direct band gap energy of the compound decreases from 1.750 (at 10 K) to 1.705 eV (at 300 K). Varshni model was successfully applied to the temperature-band gap energy dependency and various optical constants were determined. Raman spectrum of CdSe thin films was also presented to understand the vibrational characteristics of the compound. The present paper would provide worthwhile data to researchers especially studying on optoelectronic device applications of CdSe thin films.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 21Temperature-Tuned Band Gap Characteristics of Inse Layered Semiconductor Single Crystals(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Layered structured InSe has attracted remarkable attention due to its effective characteristics utilized especially in optoelectronic device technology. This point directs researchers to investigate optical properties of InSe in great detail. The temperature dependent band gap characteristics of InSe and analyses performed on this dependency have been rarely studied in literature. Here, temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection experiments were performed on InSe layered single crystals. The band gap energy was found around 1.22 eV at room temperature and 1.32 eV at 10 K. The temperature-gap energy dependency was analyzed using Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen models to reveal various optical parameters of the crystal. The structural characteristics; crystalline parameters like lattice constants, lattice strain, dislocation density and atomic compositions of InSe were also determined from the analyses of XRD and EDS measurements.
