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 detected in IR spectra of studied crystals were assigned to various vibration types (valence and valence-deformation) on the basis of the symmetrized displacements of atoms obtained employing the Melvin projection operators. The linear dependencies of optical mode frequencies on the composition of CuxAg1-xIn5S8 mixed crystals were obtained. These dependencies display one-mode behavior.

Analysis of optical constants and temperature-dependent absorption edge of GaS0.75Se0.25 layered crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2017-06-01) GaS0.75Se0.25 single crystals were optically characterized through transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 450-1000 nm. Derivative spectrophotometry analyses on temperature dependent transmittance spectra showed that band gap energies of the crystal increase from 239 eV (T=300 K) to 2.53 eV (T=10 K). Band gap at zero temperature, average phonon energy, electron phonon coupling parameter and rates of change of band gap energy with temperature were found from the temperature depend...
Determination of optical parameters of Ga0.75In0.25Se layered crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2012-05-01) The optical properties of the Ga0.75In0.25Se crystals have been investigated by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380-1100 nm. The analysis of the results performed at room temperature revealed the presence of optical indirect transtions with band gap energy of 1.89 eV. The variation of the band gap energy as a function of temperature was also studied in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The rate of change of band gap energy (? = 6.2 x 10(4) eV/K) and absolute zer...
Determination of trapping parameters of thermoluminescent glow peaks of semiconducting Tl2Ga2S3Se crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; YILDIRIM, TACETTİN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-07-01) Thermoluminescence (TL) properties of Tl2Ga2S3Se layered single crystals were researched in the temperature range of 290-770 K. U glow curve exhibited two peaks with maximum temperatures of similar to 373 and 478 K. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used to determine the activation energies of the trapping centers associated with these peaks. Applied methods were in good agreement with the energies of 780 and 950 meV. Capture cross sections and attempt-to-escape frequencies of the trap...
Combined low-temperature photoluminescence and thermally stimulated current studies in Cu3In5S9 layered single crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (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 ban...
Near-infrared photoluminescence and thermally stimulated current in Cu3Ga5Se9 layered crystals: A comparative study Hasanlı, Nızamı (2016-07-01) Near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) and thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectra of Cu3Ga5Se9 layered crystals grown by Bridgman method have been studied in the photon energy region of 1.35-1.46 eV and the temperature range of 15-115 K (PL) and 10-170 K (TSC). An infrared PL band centered at 1.42 eV was revealed at T = 15 K. Radiative transitions from shallow donor level placed at 20 meV to moderately deep acceptor level at 310 meV were suggested to be the reason of the observed PL band. TSC curve of Cu3...
