AgGa0.5In0.5Se2 thin films were deposited onto a quartz substrate by the electron-beam technique. For the investigation of the annealing effect on structural, optical and electrical properties of deposited films, samples were annealed in the temperature range 300-775 degrees C. The composition analyses of the deposited films carried out by energy dispersive x-ray analysis measurements have shown that the deposited AgGa0.5In0.5Se2 films were indium- and gallium-rich but selenium-and slightly silver-deficient and there was a remarkable change in composition with annealing. As a result of x-ray diffraction measurements, the as-deposited films were found to have an amorphous structure and after annealing at 300 degrees C a polycrystalline structure with different phases was observed. However, subsequent annealing resulted in the formation of single phase AgGa0.5In0.5Se2 thin film at about 775 degrees C. The absorption coefficient of the films was determined from the transmission spectra and the band gap values were calculated and found to vary between 1.57 and 2.43 eV following annealing in the temperature range 300-775 degrees C. The refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) of the films were evaluated by applying the envelope method to the transmission spectra. The spectral distributions of these quantities for both as-deposited and annealed films were determined in detail and it was observed that there has been a remarkable influence of annealing on these quantities. The electrical properties of AgGa0.5In0.5Se2 thin films were also investigated by means of temperature dependent conductivity measurements in the temperature range 100-460 K. The resistivity of the samples depending on the annealing temperature varied between 6.5 x 105 and 16 Omega cm. As a result of the hot-probe method it was observed that the as-deposited films have indicated an n-type behaviour,

Assessment of InSb photodetectors on Si substrates Ozer, S; Beşikci, Cengiz (IOP Publishing, 2003-03-07) We present the detailed characteristics of small area (33 x 33 mum(2)) InSb photodiodes grown on GaAs coated Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. In spite of very large lattice mismatch, 80 K peak detectivity of similar to1 x 10(10) cm Hz(1/2) W-1 has been measured under backside illumination without anti-reflection coating. Differential resistance at 80 K is limited by Ohmic leakage under small reverse bias and trap assisted tunnelling (TAT) under moderately large reverse bias. In the temperature range...
A multi-spectroscopic study of luminescence sensitivity changes in natural quartz induced by high-temperature annealing SCHILLES, T; POOLTON, NRJ; Bulur, Enver; Botter-Jensen, L; MURRAY, AS; Smith, G; RIEDI, PC; WAGNER, GA (IOP Publishing, 2001-03-07) The luminescence sensitivity of natural quartz is significantly enhanced if heated beyond the first and second crystal phase transitions, in the temperature range 500-1100 degreesC. This work employs a number of complementary spectroscopic methods to obtain a fuller understanding of the mechanisms of this sensitization process. Spectrally resolved radioluminescence is used to study the role played by hole trapping recombination sites. Linearly-modulated optically stimulated luminescence is used to probe a n...
Effects of glass substrate coated by different-content buffer layer on the quality of poly-Si thin films Karaman, Mehmet; ÖZMEN, ÖZGE TÜZÜN; Sedani, Salar Habibpur; Ozkol, Engin; Turan, Raşit (Wiley, 2016-12-01) In this work, polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films were fabricated by aluminum induced crystallization (AIC) technique. SiNx, deposited as a function of NH3/SiH4 ratio, and AZO (Al-doped ZnO) films on glass were used as a buffer layer between glass and Si film. The effect of buffer layer content on the crystallinity of poly-Si thin films was studied by Raman analysis which shows that fully crystallization without stress was achieved for all samples. Moreover, the preferred crystalline orientation an...
A sol-gel derived AgCl photochromic coating on glass for SERS chemical sensor application Volkan, Mürvet; Vo-Dinh, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-13) A new optically translucent material has been prepared that acts as a substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. This material is a silica matrix, synthesized by the sol-gel method and containing in situ precipitated AgCl particles which serve as precursors for nanoparticles of elemental silver. Reduction of AgCl to silver nanoparticles is achieved by UV irradiation. The SERS-active medium was distributed on glass supports (cover glass slips, 0.5 turn thick), hence producing thin, sturdy, and optica...
PREPARATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF CO-DOPED HYDROXYAPATITE BIOMIMETIC COATINGS ON PRETREATED Ti6Al4V ALLOY Hacioglu, Tugce; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Abbas, Sherif; Evis, Zafer (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2020-11-01) In this study, bismuth + carbonate co-doped and pure hydroxyapatites (HAp) were coated on rough surfaces of Ti6Al4V plates by biomimetic method. Prepared samples were investigated with SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD and ICP. Furthermore, mechanical scratch tests, profilometer tests and in vitro cell studies were carried out. In order to explore the antibacterial characteristics of the coating, the survival rate of a bacteria named Staphylococcus epidermidis was determined. Structural investigations showed that HAp nuc...
