GaSe thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation technique with and without Cd doping. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystallinity of doped and undoped films increases in (1014) preferred orientation direction upon annealing. Addition of cadmium dopant with excess selenium in the GaSe structure gives rise to the possibility for the existence of a CdSe phase in the highly Cd-doped samples. The room temperature conductivity and mobility values of the samples were found to be lying in between 1.3 x 10(1) - 3.4 x 10(2) (Omega Cm)(-1), (1.2-1.5) X 10(-6) (Omega cm)(-1) and 5.9-20.9 (cm(2)/Vs) for doped and undoped films, respectively. Dominant conduction mechanisms in doped films were determined to be thermionic emission in the high temperature region (250-400 K), tunneling in the range 160-250 K and variable range hopping mechanism between 100 and 150 K. For undoped films, thermionic emission was the dominant conduction mechanism above 250 K. Photocurrent-illumination intensity dependences indicated that the power exponent of the illumination intensity with values n > 1 implied that two recombination centers exist in the studied samples.

Anisotropic behaviors in polycrystalline Cd-doped GaSe thin films Colakoglu, T.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-12-01) GaSe thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation technique with Cd doping. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that Cd-doped films have polycrystalline structure with the preferred orientation along ( 008) direction. Temperature dependent electrical conductivity measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 100 - 400 K along perpendicular and parallel directions to the growth direction for the films exhibiting p-type conduction determined by hot probe technique. The room temperature conductiv...
Effects of physical growth conditions on the structural and optical properties of sputtered grown thin HfO2 films AYGÜN ÖZYÜZER, GÜLNUR; Cantas, Ayten; Simsek, Yilmaz; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-30) HfO2 thin films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique on (100) p-Si substrate. The effects of O-2/Ar ratio, substrate temperature, sputtering power on the structural properties of HfO2 grown films were studied by Spectroscopic Ellipsometer (SE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling techniques. The results show that the formation of a SiOx suboxide layer at the HfO2/Si interface is unavoidable. Th...
Effect of molecular and electronic structure on the light-harvesting properties of dye sensitizers Mete, E.; Üner, Deniz; Cakmak, M.; Gulseren, O.; Ellialtoglu, S. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2007-05-24) The systematic trends in structural and electronic properties of perylenediimide (PDI)-derived dye molecules have been investigated by DFT calculations based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) method including gradient-corrected exchange-correlation effects. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations have been performed to study the visible absorbance activity of these complexes. The effect of different ligands and halogen atoms attached to PDI were studied to characterize the light-ha...
Effect of heat treatment on the stress and structure evolution of plasma deposited boron nitride thin films Anutgan, T. Aliyeva; Anutgan, M.; Wdemir, O.; Atilgan, I.; Katircioglu, B. (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-25) Boron nitride (BN) thin films are deposited at 573 K by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen diluted diborane (15% B2H6 in H-2) source gases. UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies together with surface profilometry are used for the film characterization. These films are hydrogenated (BN:H) whose hydrogen content is pursued following the 1.5 h annealing process at 748 K, 923 K and 1073 K under nitrogen atmosphere. Hydrogen escape with the...
Effects of gold-induced crystallization process on the structural and electrical properties of germanium thin films Kabacelik, Ismail; Kulakci, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit; ÜNAL, NURİ (Wiley, 2018-07-01) Gold-induced (Au-) crystallization of amorphous germanium (-Ge) thin films was investigated by depositing Ge on aluminum-doped zinc oxide and glass substrates through electron beam evaporation at room temperature. The influence of the postannealing temperatures on the structural properties of the Ge thin films was investigated by employing Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The Raman and X-ray diffraction results indicated that the Au-induced crystallization of the Ge films ...
