© 2022 Elsevier LtdBi12GeO20 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.

Defect characterization of Ga4Se3S layered single crystals by thermoluminescence IŞIK, MEHMET; Delice, S.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2016-04-01) Trapping centres in undoped Ga4Se3S single crystals grown by Bridgman method were characterized for the first time by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements carried out in the low-temperature range of 15-300 K. After illuminating the sample with blue light (similar to 470 nm) at 15 K, TL glow curve exhibited one peak around 74 K when measured with a heating rate of 0.4 K/s. The results of the various analysis methods were in good agreement about the presence of one trapping centre with an activation energy of...
Low-temperature thermoluminescence in TlGaS2 layered single crystals Isik, M.; Bulur, Enver; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2013-03-01) Thermoluminescence (TL) measurements have been carried out on TlGaS2 layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-300 K. After illuminating with blue light (similar to 470 nm) at 10 K, TL glow curves exhibited peaks around 23, 36, 58, 75 and 120 K when measured with a heating rate of 0.8 K/s. The observed peaks were analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise, and peak shape methods to determine the activation energies of the associated defect centers. Analyses have revealed the presence of five de...
Low-temperature visible photolummescence and optical absorption in Tl2In2Se3S semiconductor Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Turan, Raşit (2007-05-31) The emission band spectra of undoped T1(2)In(2)Se(3)S layered crystals have been studied in the temperature range of 25-63 K and the wavelength region of 570-700nm. A broad photoluminescence band centered at 633 nm (1.96 eV) was observed at T = 25 K. Variation of emission band has been studied as a function of excitation laser intensity in the 2.7-111.4mWcm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor level located at 0.03 eV below the bottom of conduction band to deep acceptor level located at 0.23 ...
Vortex phases in magnetic fields near ab-plane in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystal Mirkovic, Jovan; Saito, Takashi; Kashiwagi, Takanari; Kakeya, Itsuhiro; Kubo, Yuimaru; Yamamoto, Takashi; Oral, Ahmet; Kadowaki, Kazuo (2010-12-01) Vortex matter of the layered superconductors in very high magnetic fields near the ab-plane was studied by using the c-axis resistivity measurements on the mesoscopic Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystals. While the angular dependence of resistance exhibits the sharp lock-in features in low magnetic field region, it was found that the vortex lock-in transition becomes considerably broad in high magnetic fields, showing anomalous shoulders at 0.3 degrees away from the ab-plane. The appearance of the resistance...
TL and TSC studies on TlGaSe2 layered single crystals Isik, M.; Bulur, Enver; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) Defects in - as grown - TlGaSe2 layered single crystals were investigated using Thermoluminescence (TL) and Thermally Stimulated Currents (TSC) techniques in the temperature range 10-300 K. TL and TSC curves of samples illuminated using a light with energy greater than the band gap of the material, i.e. blue light (similar to 470 nm) at 10 K, exhibited peaks around 27 and 28 K, respectively, when measured by heating up the samples at a rate of 1 K/s. TL and TSC curves were analyzed to characterize the defec...
