We have used polarized photoreflectance spectroscopy to study the electronic-band-structure modification of GaN films grown along different nonpolar orientations due to biaxial, anisotropic in-plane strain. For nonpolar oriented films, the c-axis of GaN lies in the film plane. An unstrained, high-quality C-plane GaN film is used to estimate the difference in the band gap energies between 10 K and room temperature. We use the crystal-field and spin-orbit splitting energies and the deformation potential D, determined at low temperatures to calculate the transition energies and the polarization properties of nonpolar oriented films at room temperature using the k-p perturbation approach. The calculated transition energies and oscillator strengths are then compared to the experimentally obtained values. (c) 2007 WELEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Polarization anisotropy in GaN films for different nonpolar orientations studied by polarized photoreflectance spectroscopy Misra, P; Behn, U; Brandt, O; Grahn, HT; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Nakamura, S; DenBaars, SP; Speck, JS (AIP Publishing, 2006-04-17) We use photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy to study the electronic band structure modification of GaN films grown along different nonpolar orientations due to biaxial, anisotropic in-plane strain. The exciton transition energies of an unstrained, high-quality C-plane GaN film are used to accurately determine the crystal-field and spin-orbit splitting energies. For films with a nonpolar orientation, the resonant features observed in the PR spectra exhibit a strong in-plane polarization anisotropy and differen...
Optical polarization anisotropy in strained A-plane GaN films on R-plane sapphire Ghosh, Sandip; Misra, Pranob; Grahn, Holger T.; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Nakamura, Shuji; DenBaars, Steven P.; Speck, James S. (Wiley, 2006-06-01) We have used polarized photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy to study [1120]-oriented A-plane GaN films on R-plane sapphire substrates. For this type of films, the c-axis of GaN lies in the film plane. When the probe beam is polarized perpendicular to the c-axis, we observe a single feature in the PR spectrum, while two features at higher energies are observed for parallel polarization. Comparing the transition energies with the ones obtained by electronic band-structure calculations, we identify the observed ...
Refractive index, static dielectric constant, energy band gap and oscillator parameters of Ga2SeS single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2007-09-01) The optical properties of Bridgman method grown Ga2SeS crystals have been investigated by means of room-temperature transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis. The optical data have revealed direct and indirect allowed transition band gaps of 2.49 and 2.10 eV, respectively. The room-temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as...
An electrochemically and optically stable electrochromic polymer film based on EDOT and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenazine ERGÜN, EMİNE GÜL CANSU; Eroglu, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01) In this work, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenazine based donor-acceptor-donor type monomer (EBE) was synthesized, electropolymerized and the resulting polymer film (P(EBE)) was investigated in terms of its electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties. The polymer film showed excellent electrochemical stability upon 1000 switchings by saving almost full of its electroactivity. Moreover, 95% of the optical contrast was maintained after 500 switchings. The optical band gap...
Multiphonon absorption processes in layered structured TlGaS2, TlInS2 and TlGaSe2 single crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı; KORKMAZ ÖZKAN, FİLİZ (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-15) The infrared transmittance and Raman scattering spectra in TlGaS2, TlInS2 and TlGaSe2 layered single crystals grown by Bridgman method were studied in the frequency ranges of 400-1500 and 10-400 cm(-1), respectively. Three, three and five bands observed at room temperature in IR transmittance spectra of TlGaS2, TlInS2 and TlGaSe2, respectively, were interpreted in terms of multiphonon absorption processes.
