We have carried out thermally stimulated current measurements on as-grown Tl4In3GaS8 layered single crystals in the temperature range 10-90 K with different heating rates of 0.10-0.30 K s(-1). The data were analysed by curve fitting, heating rates and isothermal decay methods. The results were in good agreement with each other. Experimental evidence was found for one trapping centre in Tl4In3GaS8 crystal with an activation energy of 12 meV. The capture cross section and concentration of the traps were found to be 5.4 x 10(-25) cm(2) and 3.3 x 10(14) cm(-3), respectively. Analysis of the thermally stimulated current data at different light excitation temperatures leads to a value of 8 meV/decade for the trap distribution.

Thermally stimulated current analysis of shallow levels in TlGaS2 layered single crystals
Yuksek, NS; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, H (IOP Publishing, 2003-09-01)
We have carried out thermally stimulated current measurements on as-grown T1GaS(2) layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-60 K with various heating rates. We found experimental evidence for the presence of three trapping centres in TlGaS2, located at 6, 12 and 26 meV. We have determined the trap parameters using various methods of analysis, and these agree well with each other. The retrapping process is negligible for these levels, as confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental ...
Temperature effect on dark electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, space charge limited current and photoconductivity of TlGaS2 single crystals
Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2005-05-01)
The dark electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, space charge limited current, and illumination and temperature dependences of the photocurrent of TIGaS2 single crystals in the temperature regions of 100-350, 200-350, 200-290 and 100-350 K, respectively, have been measured and analysed. The Hall coefficient measurements revealed the extrinsic type of conduction with conductivity-type conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K. The temperature dependence of the dark electrical conduct...
Trapping center parameters of TlGaSe2 layered crystals
Yuksek, NS; Kavas, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, H (Elsevier BV, 2004-02-15)
Thermally stimulated current measurements are carried out on as-grown TlGaSe2 layered single crystals in the temperature range of 90-220 K with various heating rates. Experimental evidence is found for the presence of two trapping centers with activation energy 98 and 130 meV. The retrapping process is negligible for these levels, as confirmed by good agreement between the experimental results and theoretical predictions of the model that assumes slow retrapping. The calculation yielded 2.3 x 10(-24) and 1....
Thermally stimulated currents in layered Ga4SeS3 semiconductor
Aytekin, S; Yuksek, NS; Goktepe, M; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Aydinli, A (Wiley, 2004-10-01)
Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements are carried out on nominally undoped Ga4SeS3 layered semiconductor samples with the cur-rent flowing along the c-axis in the temperature range of 10 to 150 K. The results are analyzed according to various methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and Chen's methods, which seem to be in good agreement with each other. Experimental evidence is found for the presence of three trapping centers in Ga4SeS3 with activation energies of 70, 210 and 357 meV. The calc...
Photoelectronic, optical and electrical properties of TlInS2 single crystals
Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2003-09-01)
To specify the donor energy levels in TlInS2 single crystals, the dark electrical resistivity, photoconductivity and Hall measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 100-400 K, 110-350 K and 170-400 K, respectively. The Hall measurements revealed that the crystals exhibit an anomalous behavior of Hall voltage by changing sign (from p-type to n-type conductivity) at 315 K. By means of the temperature dependence of dark electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and photocurrent measurements the d...
