    Dielectric and Optoelectronic Properties of Inse/Cds Heterojunctions
    (Springer, 2018) Abusaa, M.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Shehada, Sufyan R.
    The effect of an InSe substrate on the structural, optical and dielectric properties of CdS/CdSe heterojunctions prepared by physical vapor deposition technique under vacuum pressure of 10(-8) bar are reported. The structural analysis carried out by x-ray diffraction revealed a strained type of growth of the CdS/CdSe heterojunction onto the InSe along the axis of the hexagonal lattice. The lattice mismatches and strained nature of the heterojunctions associated with the InSe participation causes a quantum confinement that results in a red shift in the energy band gap, enhanced near infrared (IR) light absorbability, and valence band offsets of 0.62eV and 0.53eV for the InSe/CdS and CdS/CdSe interfaces, respectively. In addition, a pronounced enhancement in the real part of the dielectric constant by 2.5 times is observed at 1.25eV. Furthermore, the Durde-Lorentz modeling of the optical conductivity of the CdS/CdSe and InSe/CdS/CdSe reveals significant increases in the drift mobility values from 43.8cm(2)/Vs at the CdS/CdSe interface to 100.0cm(2/)Vs upon replacement of glass by an amorphous InSe substrate. The other optical conduction parameters including the free carrier scattering time at the femtosecond level, the plasmon frequency and the free carrier density are also improved accordingly. The photocurrent illumination intensity dependence for the studied system showed that the presence of InSe increases the photocurrent values and changes the recombination mechanism from sublinear at the surface to trap-assisted recombination. The smart feature of the InSe/CdS/CdSe system is that the structurally controlled quantum confinement results in having mobile photocarriers arising from the enhanced absorbability and large dielectric response in the IR region.

    Structural 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.
