(2023) Güler, İpek; Güler, İpek; Gasanly, N.; 101531
The search for layered structured new semiconductor materials with remarkable optical properties has become a driving force, especially for materials science. Tl2In2S3Se [(TlInS2)0.75(TlInSe2)0.25], a fascinating compound, holds great promise for advanced photonic and optoelectronic applications. In the present study, the linear and nonlinear optical properties of Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals were studied by ellipsometry measurements. The variation of refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and skin depth with energy were investigated. Applying the derivative analysis technique to the absorption spectrum, indirect bandgap was found as 2.19 eV. The refractive index data was analyzed considering single-effective-oscillator model. The lattice dielectric constant, plasma frequency, carrier density to the effective mass ratio and zero-frequency refractive index were found. Moreover, the change in optical conductivity with energy yielded to determine the direct bandgap as 2.40 eV. The optical parameters of nonlinear refractive index, first-and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities were also reported.
Optical and photoelectrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals
(Elsevier GMBH, 2018) Güler, İpek; Gasanly, N.; 101531
Optical and electrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission, reflection and photoconductivity measurements. Transmission and reflection experiments have been carried out from 540 to 1000 nm at room temperature. Derivative analysis was applied to both transmission and reflection spectra and indirect band gap energy was found as 2.06 eV. Photoconductivity measurements have been performed in the temperature range from 245 to 300 K and in the voltage range from 10 to 80 V. From the temperature-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the observed single peak shifted to higher wavelengths with increase of temperature. The increase of photoconductivity with temperature is due to the increase in the mobility of photocarriers that can be explained by Bube model. From X112 method, room temperature indirect band gap of the crystal was also found as 2.06 eV. From voltage-dependent photoconductivity measurements, the peak maximum increased linearly with increase of voltage because of increase of the mobility of charge carriers. Dark current-voltage characteristic of TlInSSe crystal showed the ohmic behavior that means space charge limited current did not exist in the crystal. From the photocurrent with different illumination intensity analysis, the supralinear photoconductivity associated with the two center model was found.
Optical characterization of (TlInS2)0.5(TlInSe2)0.5 crystal by ellipsometry: linear and optical constants for optoelectronic devices
(2023) Guler, İ.; Isik, M.; Gasanly, N.; 101531
TlInSSe [(TlInS2)0.5(TlInSe2)0.5] crystals have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional optoelectrical characteristics. This study focused on investigating the linear and nonlinear optical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals through ellipsometry measurements. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of four distinct peaks corresponding to a monoclinic crystalline structure. In-depth analysis was conducted to examine the variations of refractive index, extinction coefficient, and complex dielectric function within the energy range of 1.25–6.15 eV. By employing derivative analysis of the absorption coefficient and utilizing the Tauc relation, the indirect and direct bandgap energies of TlInSSe crystals were determined to be 2.09 and 2.26 eV, respectively. Furthermore, this research paper presents findings on oscillator energy, dispersion energy, Urbach energy, zero and high frequency dielectric constants, plasma frequency, carrier density to effective mass ratio, nonlinear refractive index, and first-order and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities of TlInSSe crystals.

(2023) Güler, I.; Işık, M.; Gasanly, N.; 101531
Layered semiconductor materials have become a serious research topic in recent years, thanks to their effective optical properties. In this article, the thin-film structure of Tl2In2S3Se [(TlInS2)0.75(TlInSe2)0.25] material with layered structure was grown by thermal evaporation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the deposited thin films were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques were used to get information about structural and morphological properties of the thin films. XRD pattern presented well-defined peaks associated with monoclinic crystalline structure. The crystallite size, dislocation density, and lattice strain of the films were also obtained from the analyses of XRD pattern. EDS analysis showed that atomic compositional ratios of the Tl, In, S, and Se elements are consistent with chemical formula of Tl2In2S3Se. The optical characterization of thin film was performed using transmission and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Raman spectrum offered information about the vibrational modes of the thin film. The analyses of the transmission spectrum presented the indirect and direct band gap energies of the Tl2In2S3Se thin film as 2.23 and 2.52 eV, respectively. The further analyses on the absorption coefficient resulted in Urbach energy of 0.58 eV.
Structural and optical properties of thermally annealed thallium indium disulfide thin films
(2020) Güler, İpek; Gasanly, N.; 101531
Structural and optical properties of thallium indium disulfide (TlInS2) thin films, deposited by thermal evaporation technique and thermally annealed at different temperatures, were analyzed. Crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice strain of the thin films were found from X-ray diffraction experiments. The atomic compositions of the films were determined from energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Surface morphology of the films was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. From room temperature transmittance spectrum, the band gap energies of the films were identified. The decrease in band gap energies of the films with the annealing temperature up to 300 degrees C was observed due to increase in crystallite size and decrease in lattice strain. From Raman measurements, it was observed that the Raman shifts of the films were well correlated with those of TlInS2 bulk crystal.
Thermoluminescence in gallium sesquisulfide single crystals: usual and unusual heating rate dependencies
(2018) Guler, I.; Isik, M.; Gasanova, L.; Mahammadov, A.; Gasanly, N.
Thermoluminescence (TL) experiments were conducted for Ga2S3 crystals to obtain information about trapping parameters. TL measurements were performed from 10 to 300 K with varying heating rates in the range of 0.2–0.8 K/s. Two TL glow peaks centered at 44 K (peak A) and 91 K (peak B) were observed at heating rate of β = 0.5 K/s. For peak A, TL intensity decreased whereas that for peak B increased with elevating the heating rates that means anomalous heating rate occurred for peak B. TL glow curves were analyzed using initial rise method to find activation energies of traps. Distribution of trap centers was investigated using Tmax − Tstop method. Quasi-continuous distributions with increasing activation energies from 40 to 135 meV and 193 to 460 meV were attributed to trap centers A and B, respectively.
