Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Determination of Trapping Parameters of Thermoluminescent Glow Peaks of Semiconducting Tl2ga2< Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Isik, M.; Yildirim, T.; Gasanly, N. M.Thermoluminescence (TL) properties of Tl2Ga2S3Se layered single crystals were researched in the temperature range of 290-770 K. U glow curve exhibited two peaks with maximum temperatures of similar to 373 and 478 K. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used to determine the activation energies of the trapping centers associated with these peaks. Applied methods were in good agreement with the energies of 780 and 950 meV. Capture cross sections and attempt-to-escape frequencies of the trapping centers were reported. An energy level diagram showing transitions in the band gap of the crystal was plotted under the light of the results of the present work and previously reported papers on photoluminescence, thermoluminescence and thermally stimulated current measurements carried out below room temperature.

M.Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements with current flowing perpendicular to the layers were carried out on Tl2Ga2Se3S layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-260K. The experimental data were analyzed by using different methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and isothermal decay methods. The analysis revealed that there were three trapping centers with activation energies of 12, 76 and 177 meV. It was concluded that retrapping in these centers was negligible, which was confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping. The capture cross section and the concentration of the traps have been also determined. An exponential distribution of electron traps was revealed from the analysis of the TSC data obtained at different light illumination temperatures. This experimental technique provided values of 10 and 88 meV/decade for the traps distribution related to two different trapping centers. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

R.; Qasrawi, A. F.Owing to the performance of the CdSe as an optoelectronic material used for the production of quantum dots, photosensors and wave traps we here, in this article, report the enhancements in structural and electrical properties that arises from the nanosandwiching of a 40 nm thick Yb film between two films of CdSe (CYbC-40). The CdSe films which were deposited onto glass, Yb and Au substrates are characterized by X-ray diffraction, temperature dependent electrical conductivity and impedance spectroscopy measurements in the frequency range of 10-1800 MHz. The analysis of the XRD patterns have shown that the glass/CdSe/Yb/CdSe films exhibit larger grain size and lower strain, defect density and lower stacking faults compared to the not sandwiched CdSe. In addition, it was observed that the Yb shifts the donor states of the n-type CdSe from 0.44 to 0.29 eV leading to a modification in the built in voltage of the material. On the other hand, the design of the energy band diagram has shown the ability of the formation of the Au/CYbC-40/Yb as Schottky (SB) and the Au/CYbC-40/Au as back to back Schottky barriers (BBSB). While the SB device show low band pass filter characteristics, the BBSB device performed as band stop filters. The BBSB device exhibited negative capacitance effects with filtering features that reveal a return loss of 42 dB at similar to 1440 MHz.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Thermally Stimulated Current Measurements in Undoped Ga3inse4< Single Crystals(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe trap levels in nominally undoped Ga3InSe4 crystals were investigated in the temperature range of 10-300 K using the thermally stimulated currents technique. The study of trap levels was accomplished by the measurements of current flowing along the c-axis of the crystal. During the experiments we utilized a constant heating rate of 0.8 K/s. Experimental evidence is found for one hole trapping center in the crystal with activation energy of 62 meV. The analysis of the experimental TSC curve gave reasonable results under the model that assumes slow retrapping. The capture cross-section of the trap was determined as 1.0 x 10(-25) cm(2) with concentration of 1.4 x 10(17) cm(-3). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

M.Bi12GeO20 single crystals were investigated by thermally stimulated current (TSC) experiments performed in the temperature range of 10-290 K. Recorded TSC glow curve exhibited six distinctive peaks with maxima at around 90, 105, 166, 209, 246, 275 K. The analyses of the obtained glow curve were accomplished by curve fitting and initial rise methods. The analysis results were in good agreement that the TSC peaks appeared in the glow curve due to existence of trapping levels with activation energies of 0.10, 0.18, 0.23, 0.53, 0.68 and 0.73 eV. These trapping levels were estimated to be hole traps above valence band. The heating rate dependent TSC glow curves were also obtained for various rates between 0.30 and 0.45 K/s. The changes of TSC intensity, peak maximum temperature and full-widths-half-maximum values with heating rates were studied in detail. TSC intensity decreased and peak maximum temperature increased with increasing heating rate. Determination of defects and trapping/stimulation mechanism of those are significant for technological applications since local states in these materials take critical role for device performance.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Trap Distribution in Agin5s8< Single Crystals: Thermoluminescence Study(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Delice, S.; Işık, Mehmet; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringDistribution of shallow trap levels in AgIn5S8 crystals has been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature (10-300 K). One broad TL peak centered at 33 K was observed as constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s was employed for measurement. The peak shape analysis showed that the TL curve could consist of several individual overlapping TL peaks or existence of quasi-continuous distributed traps. Therefore, TL experiments were repeated for different stopping temperatures (T-stop) between 10 and 34 K with constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s to separate the overlapping TL peaks. The E-t vs T-stop indicated that crystal has quasi-continuously distributed traps having activation energies increasing from 13 to 41 meV. Heating rate effect on trapped charge carriers was also investigated by carrying out the TL. experiments with various heating rates between 0.2 and 0.6 K/s for better comprehension of characteristics of existed trap levels. Analyses indicated that the trap levels exhibited the properties of anomalous heating rate behavior which means the TL intensity and area under the TL peak increase with increasing heating rate.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Defect Characterization in Bi12geo20< Single Crystals by Thermoluminescence(Elsevier, 2021) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Sarigul, N.; Gasanly, N. M.Bi12GeO20 single crystal grown by Czochralski method was investigated in terms of thermoluminescence (TL) properties. TL experiments were performed for various heating rates between 1 and 6 K/s in the temperature region of 300-675 K. One TL peak with peak maximum temperature of 557 K was observed in the TL spectrum as constant heating rate of 1 K/s was employed. Curve fitting, initial rise and variable heating rate methods were applied to calculate the activation energy of trap level corresponding to this TL peak. Analyses resulted in a presence of one trap center having mean activation energy of 0.78 eV. Heating rate characteristics of revealed trap center was also explored and theoretically well-known behavior that TL intensity decreases and peak maximum temperature increases with heating rates was observed for the trap level. Distribution of trapping levels was studied by thermally cleaning process for different T-stop between 425 and 525 K. Quasi-continuously distributed trapping levels were revealed with mean activation energies ranging from 0.78 to 1.26 eV. Moreover, absorption analysis revealed an optical transition taking place between a defect level and conduction band with an energy difference of 2.51 eV. These results are in good agreement for the presence of intrinsic defects above valence band in Bi12GeO20 crystals.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Thermoluminescence characteristics of GaSe and Ga2Se3 single crystals(Elsevier, 2022) Isik, M.; Sarigul, N.; Gasanly, N. M.GaSe and Ga2Se3 are semiconducting compounds formed from same constituent elements. These compounds have been attractive due to their optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Defects take remarkable attention since they affect quality of semiconductor devices. In the present paper, deep defect centers in GaSe and Ga2Se3 single crystals grown by Bridgman method were reported from the analyses of thermoluminescence measurements performed in the 350-675 K range. Experimental TL curves of GaSe and Ga2Se3 single crystals presented one and two overlapped peaks, respectively. The applied curve fitting and initial rise techniques were in good agreement about trap activation energies of 0.83 eV for GaSe, 0.96 and 1.24 eV for Ga2Se3 crystals. Crystalline structural properties of the grown single crystals were also investigated by x-ray diffraction measurements. The peaks observed in XRD patterns of the GaSe and Ga2Se3 crystals were well-consistent with hexagonal and zinc blende structures, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Thermoluminescence Properties and Trapping Parameters of Tlgas2 Single Crystals(Elsevier, 2022) Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.TlGaS2 layered single crystals have been an attractive research interest due to their convertible characteristics into 2D structure. In the present paper, structural, optical and thermoluminescence properties of TlGaS2 single crystals were investigated. XRD pattern of the crystal presented five well-defined peaks associated with monoclinic unit cell. Band gap and Urbach energies were found to be 2.57 and 0.25 eV, respectively, from the analyses of transmittance spectrum. Thermoluminescence measurements were carried out above room temperature up to 660 K at various heating rates. One TL peak with peak maximum temperature of 573 K was obtained in the TL spectrum at 1.0 K/s. Curve fitting, initial rise and variable heating rate methods were used for analyses. All of those resulted in presence of a deep trapping level with activation energy around 0.92 eV. Heating rate dependence of the TL peak was also studied and it was indicated that peak maximum temperature shifted to higher temperatures besides decreasing TL intensity as the higher heating rates were employed.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12The Defect State of Yb-Doped Zno Nanoparticles Using Thermoluminescence Study(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Shallow trapping centers in Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were determined using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements applied in the 10-300 K temperature region. Undoped and Yb-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. TL glow curve of undoped nano-particles presented three peaks around 56, 108 and 150 K whereas one additional peak around 83 K was observed in the TL curve of Yb-doped ZnO nano-particles. The increase of Yb concentration in the nanoparticles increased the TL intensity of this additional peak. Activation energies of interstitial defect centers were found as 20, 82 and 105 meV while energy of trapping center existing due to Yb-doping was obtained as 72 meV using curve fitting and initial rise methods.
