The amorphous GaSexS1-x (0 <= x <= 1) semiconductor thin films were prepared with different thickness by using vacuum evaporation technique. The nonlinear absorption properties of the films were studied by Z-scan and ultrafast pump-probe techniques. Linear absorption measurements showed blue shift in energy as the film thickness increased. This can be attributed quantum confinement effect due to particle size decreasing with increasing film thickness. Pure GaSe and GaSexS1-x films exhibit saturable absorption behavior with 65 ps pulse duration for thinner films. In addition, only pure GaSe thinner films exhibit saturable absorption behavior for 4 ns pulses. The life time of the localized defect states was measured as 8 ns for GaSe and 3 ns for the others. In an attempt to investigate the effect of the number of localized defect states on the saturable absorber behavior we have deposited films with various thicknesses and annealed at various temperatures. Thinner films exhibit saturable absorption while thicker films exhibit nonlinear absorption incorporating one photon absorption, two photon absorption, and free carrier absorption for 65 ps pulse duration. It was found that increasing annealing temperature leads to reduction of the localized defect states. Saturation intensity thresholds increase with increasing film thickness, Se/S ratio and decreasing annealing temperature.

The effect of Ga/In ratio and annealing temperature on the nonlinear absorption behaviors in amorphous TlGaxIn(1-x)S2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) chalcogenide thin films Ünlü, Bekir Asilcan; Karatay, Ahmet; Yüksek, Mustafa; Ünver, Hüseyin; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Elmali, Ayhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) The amorphous semiconductor TlGaxIn(1-x)S2 (0 <= x <= 1) chalcogenide thin films were prepared with 70 nm thicknesses by using vacuum evaporation technique. The nonlinear absorption properties of the films were studied by Z-scan technique. The energy band gap values were calculated by using linear absorption spectra. The effect of Ga/In ratio leads to increase 0.22 eV in band gap energy. To derive the transmission in open aperture Z-scan data, a theoretical model incorporating two photon and free carrier ab...
Thickness-dependent nonlinear absorption behaviors in polycrystalline ZnSe thin films Karatay, Ahmet; Yaglioglu, H. Gul; Elmali, Ayhan; Parlak, Mehmet; KARAAĞAÇ, Hakan (2012-03-15) Polycrystalline ZnSe thin films have been deposited with different thicknesses by using sputtering evaporation method. Their nonlinear absorption behaviors were investigated by open aperture Z-scan and pump-probe techniques. Linear absorption measurements show redshift in energy as the film thickness increases. This can be attributed to Urbach tail effect. All films exhibit nonlinear absorption for 65 ps pulse duration at lower input intensities while they exhibit saturable absorption at higher input intens...
The Effect of Thickness and Doping on the Nonlinear Absorption Behaviour of IIIA-VIA Group Amorphous Semiconductor Thin Films Kurum, Ulas; YAĞLIOĞLU, HALİME GÜL; YÜKSEK, MUSTAFA; ELMALI, Ayhan; Ates, Aytunc; KARABULUT, MEVLÜT; Mamedov, Gasan M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2011-06-30) The nonlinear optical absorption of InSe, GaSe and GaxIn1-xSe amorphous films with varying thickness and doping has been studied by open-aperture Z-scan experiment with 4 ns and 65 ps pulse durations at 1064 nm wavelength and femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Our results show that the dopant and film thickness (from 20 nm to 104 nm) results in switching from saturable absorption to nonlinear absorption for equal input intensities. This behaviour is attributed to increasing localized defect states with in...
THE EFFECT OF A 3RD COMPONENT IMPURITY-C ON THE HEAT-CAPACITY OF A3B-TYPE ORDERED ALLOYS Mehrabov, Amdulla; MATYSINA, ZA (Wiley, 1989-12-01) For the first time theoretical (in terms of the classical theory of ordering) and experimental (with the adiabatic calorimeter method) investigations are made of the effect of a third component impurity C on the heat capacity of A3B‐type ordered alloys with FCC structure. The effect of the impurities Mn, Cr, Mo, or W on the heat capacity of Ni3Fe alloys is analysed as an example. The comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental data shows good qualitative agreement.
The effect of Zn concentration on the structural and optical properties of Cd1-xZnxS nanostructured thin films Isik, M.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Isik, S.; Erturk, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2021-09-01) The structural and optical properties of electrodeposited Cd1-xZnxS nanostructured thin films were investigated in the present paper for compositions of x = 0, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.09. X-ray diffraction patterns of the deposited thin films consisted of diffraction peaks related to cubic crystal lattice. The atomic compositional ratios were determined by performing energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. Scanning electron microscopy images indicated that deposited thin films have nanostructured forms. Raman...
