Cost-effective, easy-to-produce, optically and electrically configurable properties of perovskite allow researchers to perform a profound investigation to better understand its physical and chemical nature. Additionally, band gap tunability by introducing bromide (Br) to replace iodine (I) also makes perovskite a suitable material for tandem solar cells. However, to fully benefit from perovskite cells, hysteresis in current-voltage curve, poor stability and relatively low fill factor in large area devices need to be overcomed. In the literature, various deposition techniques (spin coating, dip coating and thermal evaporation combined with one of the first two) have been used for fabricating Br containing perovskite. In this thesis, mixed halide (CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx) perovskite thin films were fabricated entirely by thermal co-evaporation in the full range (x is ranging from 0 to 3) for the first time. Five sets of samples having different Br/I ratio including two extremes (only iodide and only bromide containing) were fabricated successfully after achieving high crystallinity and uniform morphology by optimizing the deposition conditions. Perovskite films with different Br/I ratio were characterized optically and structurally using photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, reflection and transmission, and scanning electron microscopy measurements. The results clearly demonstrate band gap widening and lattice constant increase with Br concentration. CH3NH3PbI2Br sample with a band gap of 1.65 eV, suitable for tandem solar cells were fabricated with no Stokes shift in PL.

Ultrafast Photoinduced Carrier Dynamics of Organic Semiconductors Measured by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy Esentürk, Okan; Lane, Paul A; Heilweil, Edwin J (null, 2010-01-01) Intrinsic properties of organic semiconductors are investigated by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy (TRTS) to assess their relative mobilities and efficiencies. Our results are well correlated with device measurements and show the effectiveness and advantages of using this non-contact optical technique to rapidly identify prospective materials. After a brief introduction of the TRTS technique, we summarize our results from relative mobility measurements of the organic semiconductor polymers poly(3-hexyl...
Optical and electrical characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Bayrakli, O.; Parlak, Mehmet (2017-10-01) In this study, optical and electrical characteristics of the Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) polycrystalline thin films were investigated. They were deposited on soda lime glass substrates with the evaporation of pure elemental sources by using physical thermal evaporation technique at 200 degrees C substrate temperature. The thin films were characterized firstly in as-grown form, and then annealed under the nitrogen environment to deduce the effects of annealing on the optical and electrical properties of the depos...
Optical and Vibrational Properties of [Pt@Pb-12](2-), [Ni@Pb-12](2-), and [Ni@Pb-10](2-) Zintl Ion Clusters Çetin, Asude; Esentürk, Okan; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (Wiley, 2017-05-10) The optical and vibrational properties of Pt- and Ni-centered Pb-Zintl-ion clusters have been investigated by UV/Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. Computational studies have been performed to better interpret the experimental data, due to a lack of any FTIR and UV/Vis spectroscopic studies on these clusters or similar ones in the literature. UV/Vis spectroscopic analyses show an asymmetric broad absorption band, with a maximum at 265 nm for both Pt- and Ni-centered Pb clusters. FTIR spectroscopic analysis demonstr...
Induction thermal plasma synthesis of Mg2Ni nanoparticles Aktekin, Burak; ÇAKMAK, GÜLHAN; Öztürk, Tayfur (2014-06-15) A study was carried out into possibility of thermal plasma synthesis of Mg2Ni nanoparticles. Both prealloyed powders and elemental powders were used as precursors in an inductively coupled thermal plasma incorporating two injection probes located axially in the reactor one from the top and the other from the bottom. The study has shown that the use of prealloyed Mg2Ni as precursor leads to its disintegration in the plasma condensing into separate phases and therefore was not suitable for the synthesis of Mg...
