Combined low-temperature photoluminescence and thermally stimulated current studies in Cu3In5S9 layered single crystals

2016-01-01
Photoluminescence (PL) and thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectra of Cu3In5S9 layered crystals grown by Bridgman method have been studied in the photon energy region of 1.20-1.65 eV and the temperature range of 15-70 K (PL) and in the temperature region of 10-130 K (TSC). A broad PL band centered at 1.484 eV was observed at T=15 K. Radiative transitions from shallow donor level located at 16 meV to moderately deep acceptor level located at 120 meV were suggested to be responsible for the observed PL band. TSC curve of Cu3In5S9 crystal exhibited one broad peak at about 60K. The activation energy of trap level was found to be 17 meV. An energy level diagram showing transitions in the band gap of the crystal was plotted taking into account the results of PL and TSC measurements carried out below room temperature. Moreover, the absorption edge of Cu3In5S9 crystals have been studied through transmissionand reflection measurements in the photon energy range 1.13-1.85 eV. The band gap energy was determined as 1.61 eV. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-04-01)
Infrared reflection spectra of CuxAg1-xIn5S8 mixed crystals, grown by Bridgman method, were studied in the wide frequency range of 50-2000 cm(-1). All four infrared-active modes were detected, which are in full agreement with the prediction of group-theoretical analysis. Real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, refractive index and the energy losses function were evaluated from reflectivity measurements. The frequencies of TO and LO modes and oscillator strengths were also determined. The bands ...

QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2008-11-01)
Ga(4)Se(3)S layered crystals were studied through the dark electrical conductivity, and illumination- and temperature-dependent photoconductivity in the temperature region of 100-350 K. The dark electrical conductivity reflected the existence of two energy states located at 3 10 and 60 meV being dominant above and below 170 K, respectively. The photoconductivity measurements revealed the existence of another two energy levels located at 209 and 91 meV above and below 230 K. The photoconductivity was observe...
