Nanocrystalline Ge films were prepared by isotropic chemical etching on single-crystalline Ge substrates with 100 and 111 orientations. The structural and optical properties have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED), Raman photoluminescence (PL), and infrared spectroscopy. The average size of nanocrystals (NCs) was estimated by fitting of the Raman spectra using a phonon-confinement model developed for spherical semiconductor NCs. Considered collectively TEM, ED, and Raman results indicate that all films contain high density of 3-4 nm diameter, diamond-structured Ge NCs with disordered surfaces. There are indications that surface of nanoparticles is mainly hydrogen terminated even for air-stabilized samples. Red PL is observed at room temperature upon excitation by 1.96 eV with peak energy of similar to 1.55 eV and correlates well with recent theoretical calculations of the enlarged optical gap in Ge NCs of similar size.

Stability of (1(1)over-bar-00) m-plane GaN films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Cravens, Michael D.; Speck, James S.; DenBaars, Steven P. (IOP Publishing, 2006-11-01) We show the stability of planar nonpolar (1 (1) over bar 00) m-plane GaN thin films grown on m-plane 6H-SiC substrates using an AlN nucleation layer (NL) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The stability of the m-plane GaN films was studied for a wide range of growth variables including reactor pressure, temperature, and group III and V flow rates. The surface morphology and crystal quality of the m-plane GaN films were less sensitive to changes in these growth variables than those of nonpola...
Thermally Stimulated Current Study of Shallow Traps in As-Grown TlInSe2 Chain Crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2011-03-01) Thermally stimulated current measurements were carried out on as-grown TlInSe2 single crystals. The investigations were performed in temperatures ranging from 10 to 260 K with heating rate of 0.3 K s(-1). The analysis of the data revealed the hole traps levels located at 6 and 57 meV. The activation energies of the traps have been determined using various methods of analysis, and they agree with each other. The concentration (2.8 x 10(13) and 3.4 x 10(12) cm(-3)) and capture cross section (4.1 x 10(-28) and...
Structural and temperature-tuned optical characteristics of Bi12GeO20 sillenite crystals Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Darvishov, N.H.; Bagiev, V.E. (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) Sillenite compounds exhibit unique photorefractive and electro-optic characteristics providing attractiveness to these materials in various optoelectronic applications. The present paper aims at investigating one of the members of this family. Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12GeO20 (BGO) were studied by means of x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and temperature-dependent transmittance measurements. Obtained transmission curves in the wavelength range of 350−1100 nm and at different applied ...
Analysis of Thermoluminescence Glow Peaks in beta-Irradiated TlGaSeS Crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; YILDIRIM, TACETTİN; Gasanly, N. M. (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2016-06-01) Thermoluminescence properties of TlGaSeS layered single crystals were investigated in the temperature range of 280-720 K. Thermoluminescence glow curve exhibited three peaks with maximum temperatures of approximate to 370, 437, and 490 K. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used to determine the activation energies of the trapping centers. All applied methods resulted with energies around 0.82, 0.91, and 0.99 eV. Dose dependence of the thermoluminescence intensity was also examined for t...
Properties of Neon, Magnesium, and Silicon Primary Cosmic Rays Results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Aguilar, M.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-05-29) We report the observation of new properties of primary cosmic rays, neon (Ne), magnesium (Mg), and silicon (Si), measured in the rigidity range 2.15 GV to 3.0 TV with 1.8 x 10(6) Ne, 2.2 x 10(6) Mg, and 1.6 x 10(6) Si nuclei collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment on the International Space Station. The Ne and Mg spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 3.65 GV. The three spectra have identical rigidity dependence above 86.5 GV, deviate from a single power law above 200 GV, and harde...
