Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Interband Critical Points in Tlgax< Layered Mixed Crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)(Elsevier Science Sa, 2013) Isik, M.; Işık, Mehmet; Gasanly, N. M.; Işık, Mehmet; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe layered semiconducting TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) were studied 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 variation of the obtained energies with composition were plotted to see the effect of the substitution of indium with gallium. Moreover, a simple diagram showing the revealed transitions in the available electronic band structure was given for TlGaS2 single crystals. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

M.Defect centers in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals have been studied performing the thermoluminescence measurements in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The observed glow curves were analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise, and different heating rate methods to determine the activation energies of the defect centers. Thermal cleaning process has been applied to decompose the overlapped curves. Four defect centers with activation energies of 9, 45,54 and 60 meV have been found as a result of the analysis. The capture cross sections and attempt-to-escape frequencies of the defect centers were also found using the curve fitting method under the light of theoretical predictions. The first order kinetics for the observed glow curve was revealed from the consistency between the theoretical predictions for slow retrapping and experimental results. Another indication of negligible retrapping was the independency of peak position from concentration of carriers trapped in defect levels. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

M.Raman and infrared (IR) reflection characteristics were investigated in the frequency region of 100-450 cm(-1) for (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) mixed crystals for compositions of x increasing from 0.0 to 1.0 by intervals of 0.25 obtained by Bridgman crystal growth technique. In the Raman spectra of these crystals four dominant peak features were observed while two bands were detected in the IR spectra of interest samples. Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations applied to IR spectra presented the frequencies of transverse optical modes. The compositional dependencies of revealed Raman- and IR-active mode frequencies on (Ga2S3)(x) - (Ga2Se3)(1-x) crystals were established. One-mode behavior was displayed from indicated dependencies.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Photoconductivity Kinetics in Agin5s8< Thin Films(Elsevier Science Sa, 2010) Qasrawi, A. F.; Kayed, T. S.; Ercan, IsmailThe temperature (T) and illumination intensity (F) effects on the photoconductivity of as grown and heat-treated AgIn5S8 thin films has been investigated. At fixed illumination intensity, in the temperature region of 40-300K, the photocurrent (I-ph) of the films was observed to decrease with decreasing temperature. The I-ph of the as grown sample behaved abnormally in the temperature region of 170-180K. At fixed temperature and variable illumination intensity, the photocurrent of the as grown sample exhibited linear, sublinear and supralinear recombination mechanisms at 300 K and in the regions of 160-260K and 25-130 K. respectively. This behavior is attributed to the exchange of role between the linear recombination at the surface near room temperature and trapping centers in the film which become dominant as temperature decreases. Annealing the sample at 350 K for 1 h improved the characteristic curves of I-ph. The abnormality disappeared and the I-ph - T dependence is systematic. The data analysis of which revealed two recombination centers located at 66 and 16 meV. In addition, the sublinear recombination mechanism disappeared and the heat-treated films exhibited supralinear recombination in most of the studied temperature range. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

M.Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered single crystals have been studied in the wavelength range of 580-670 nm and temperature range of 7-59 K. Two PL emission bands centered at 613 nm (2.02 eV, A-band) and 623 nm (1.99 eV, B-band) were revealed at T = 7K. The excitation laser intensity dependence of the emission bands have been studied in the 0.06-1.40 W cm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor levels located at E-A = 0.11 and E-B = 0.15 eV below the bottom of conduction band to single shallow acceptor level located at 0.01 eV above the valence band are suggested to be responsible for the observed A- and B-bands. A simple model was proposed to interpret the recombination processes in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary components of pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index and pseudoextinction coefficient were reported in the present work. Critical point (CP) analyses on second-energy derivative spectra of the pseudodielectric function were accomplished to find the interband transition energies. The revealed energy values were associated with each other taking into account the fact that band gap energy of mixed crystals rises with increase in sulfur content. The variation of CP energies with composition (x) was also plotted. Peaks in the spectra of studied optical parameters and CP energy values were observed to be shifted to higher energy values as sulfur concentration is increased in the mixed crystals.

Analysis of the transmission and reflection measurements performed in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm at room temperature indicated the presence of indirect and direct transitions with 2.28 eV and 2.38 eV band gap energies. Ellipsometry measurements were carried out in the 1.2-6.0 eV spectral region to get information about optical constants, real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function. Moreover, the critical point (CP) analysis of the second derivative spectra of the pseudodielectric constant in the above band gap region was accomplished. The analysis revealed the presence of five CPs with energies of 3.87, 4.16, 4.41, 4.67 and 5.34 eV.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Optical constants and interband transitions of anisotropic layered structured Tl2GaInS4 crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry(Elsevier Science Sa, 2013) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Turan, R.Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were carried out on Tl2GaInS4 layered crystals for orientations of electric field vector, parallel (E//c*) and perpendicular (E perpendicular to c*) to optical axis c*. The measurements were performed in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral range at room temperature. The real and imaginary components of the pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index and pseudoextinction coefficient were calculated from the analysis of ellipsometric data. The energies of interband transitions (critical points) have been found from the least-square fitting of the second derivative spectra of the pseudodielectric function. The results indicated five each interband transition structures for E//c* and E perpendicular to c* configurations. The obtained critical point energies were assigned tentatively to interband transitions using the available electronic energy band structure given in literature. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
