In this study, annealing effect on the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of the quaternary Cu-Ag-In-Se (CAIS) thin films was investigated. These samples were deposited by co-evaporation of the Cu, Ag, In2Se3, and Se sources at the substrate temperature of 300 degrees C. The structural properties of the thin films were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction, and the results indicated that all of the films were in the polycrystalline structure with the preferred orientation along (112) direction. From the optical measurements, the band gap values were found to vary between 1.38 and 1.45 eV with annealing processes. The temperature-dependent electrical conductivity of the samples was measured in the temperature range of 90-400 K. The films gained degenerate behavior with increasing annealing temperature. The carrier conduction mechanism was determined at high- and low-temperature regions by comparing thermionic emission and hopping parameters. Photoconductivity of the as-grown film showed that there was an increase in conductivity with increasing illumination intensity. From this measurement, the variation of photocurrent as a function of illumination intensity was determined.

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...
Numerical and experimental investigation on laser damage threshold of highly reflective multilayer thin films
Ocak, Mustafa; Sert, Cüneyt; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
The laser induced temperature distributions on the optical thin films are investigated in this study. Effects of optical design modifications on thermal performance of highly reflective (HR) multilayer thin films are analyzed. Firstly, a conventional 19 layer HR coating is selected as a reference and the laser induced temperature distribution is evaluated on it. Then, alternative HR designs are developed by employing non-quarter wave layers, over coat (OC) layers and two high index materials in the coating ...
Investigation of structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated Ga2Se3 thin films
Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2020-09-01)
Ga2Se3 thin films were prepared by thermal evaporation technique and structural, optical characteristics of the deposited thin films were investigated in the present study. X-ray diffraction pattern of the thin film exhibited one intensive and sharp peak associated with (111) plane of cubic crystalline structure of the compound. Energy dispersive spectroscopic analyses pointed out the atomic compositional ratio of the constituent elements as consistent with chemical formula of Ga2Se3. The optical characteri...
Structural, optical and electrical characterization of CDSEXTE1-X thin films
Demir, Merve; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2020)
The aim of this study is to investigate the structural, optical and electrical properties of ternary CdSexTe1-x thin films. CdTe and CdSe thin films are being used in solar cells due to their favorable direct band gaps of 1.5eV and 1.7eV, respectively. Moreover, having high absorption coefficients provide an important role to CdTe and CdSe films as an absorber layer. Therefore, by mixing these two films, properties of resultant ternary CdSexTe1-x alloy can be optimized for solar cell applications. Chemical ...
Optical and structural characteristics of electrodeposited Cd 1-xZnxS nanostructured thin films
Erturk, K.; Isik, M.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2021-04-01)
The structural and optical characteristics of Cd1-xZnxS (CdZnS) thin films grown by the electrodeposition method were investigated in the present paper. The crystalline structure of the grown CdZnS thin film was determined as cubic wurtzite due to observed diffraction peaks associated with (111) and (220) planes. Atomic compositional ratios of the constituent elements were obtained using energy dispersive spectroscopy and doping concentration of the Zn was found as 5% (x ~ 0.05). Scanning electron microscop...
