Characteristics of charge traps in AgIn5S8 single crystals are investigated by the use of Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) technique. The TSC spectra of the unintentionally doped sample recorded at a constant heating rate from 80 K to 300 K reveals a single broad peak at similar to 90 K. The shift of the TSC peak continuously due to post-illumination preheating process confirmed the continuous trap distribution, which is Gaussian in shape. The trap density distribution changes from similar to 40 meV on the shallow side to similar to 120 meV on the deep side with the appearance of a maximum at similar to 72 meV.

Characteristics of traps in TlInS2 single crystals Özdemir, Salahattin (2013-11-01) Characteristics of charge traps in TlInS2 single crystals are investigated by the use of thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. The TSC spectra of the sample from 80 K to 300 K are recorded at a constant heating rate. The spectra reveal that there are several trapping levels associated with the complex structure of overlapping peaks. The experimental results indicate that the traps in TlInS2 associated with the spectra in the measuring range of temperature obey the monomolecular (first order) kinetic...
Thermally stimulated current study of traps distribution in beta-tlins2 layered crystals Işık, Mehmet; Bulur, Enver; Department of Physics (2008) Trapping centres in as-grown TlInS2 layered single crystals have been studied by using a thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. TSC measurements have been performed in the temperature range of 10-300 K with various heating rates. Experimental evidence has been found for the presence of five trapping centres with activation energies 12, 14, 400, 570 and 650 meV. Their capture cross-sections and concentrations were also determined. It is concluded that in these centres retrapping is negligible as confi...
Trapping parameters of repulsive centers in SbSI single crystals Ozdemir, S; Firat, T; Mamedov, AM (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-08) Charge trapping centers in antimony sulphide iodide (SbSI) single crystals have been investigated by the use of thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. The TSC spectrum consists of only one apparent peak which is found to be associated with a single trapping level. Those traps are experimentally found to obey the monomolecular kinetics. The trapping parameters as the energy depth, temperature dependent frequency factor and capture cross section together with the concentrations of the corresponding dis...
Trapping levels in TlGaSe2 single crystals Ozdemir, Selahattin; ALTINDAL, ŞEMSETTİN (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-25) Charge trapping centers in TlGaSe2 single crystals were investigated by the use of thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. The measurements of TSC spectra in the temperature range from 90 K to 300 K were performed at a constant heating rate. The measurements showed that there are several trapping levels associated with the complex structure of overlapping peaks in the spectrum. The TSC spectra are dominated by two levels appeared at 204.1 K and 220.1 K. The experimental results indicate that the traps...
Anomalous heating rate dependence of thermoluminescence in Tl2GaInS4 single crystals DELİCE, SERDAR; Bulur, Enver; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2014-12-01) Trap centers in Tl2GaInS4 single crystals have been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in the temperature range of 10-110 K. Curve-fitting method was utilized to evaluate the activation energies (12 and 26 meV) of revealed two trap centers. Thermal cleaning method was applied to the spectra and two overlapping peaks were reduced to one single peak corresponding to deeper trap level. The characteristics of heating rate dependence and trap distribution of the separated peak have been studied...
