The extrinsic energy states and the recombination mechanism in the Tl4Se3S chain crystals are being investigated by means of electrical and photoelectrical measurements for the first time. The electrical resistivity is observed to decrease exponentially with increasing temperature. The analysis of this dependence revealed three impurity levels located at 280, 68 and 48 meV. The photocurrent is observed to increase as temperature decreases down to a minimum temperature T-m=200 K. Below this temperature the photocurrent decreases upon temperature lowering. Two photoconductivity activation energies of 10 and 100 meV were determined for the temperature ranges below and above T-m, respectively. The photocurrent (I-ph) versus illumination intensity (F) dependence follows the I-ph proportional to F-gamma law. The value of gamma decreases from similar to 1.0 at 300K to similar to 0.34 at 160K. The change in the value of gamma with temperature is attributed to the exchange of roles between the monomolecular recombination at the surface near room temperature and trapping centers in the crystal, which become dominant as temperature decreases.

Temperature dependence of band gaps in sputtered SnSe thin films Delice, S.; Isik, M.; Gullu, H.H.; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Bayrakli Surucu, O.; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) Temperature-dependent transmission experiments were performed for tin selenide (SnSe) thin films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering method in between 10 and 300 K and in the wavelength region of 400-1000 nm. Transmission spectra exhibited sharp decrease near the absorption edge around 900 nm. The transmittance spectra were analyzed using Tauc relation and first derivative spectroscopy techniques to get band gap energy of the SnSe thin films. Both of the applied methods resulted in existence of two band ga...
Temperature and excitation intensity tuned photoluminescence in Tl4GaIn3S8 layered single crystals Golksen, K.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2008-05-01) Photoluminescence spectra of Tl4GaIn3S8 layered crystals grown by Bridgman method have been studied in the wavelength region of 500-780 nm and in the temperature range of 26-130 K with extrinsic excitation source (lambda(exc) = 532 nm), and at T = 26 K with intrinsic excitation source (lambda(exc) = 406 nm). Three emission bands A, B and C centered at 514 nm (2.41 eV), 588 nm (2.11 eV) and 686 nm (1.81 eV), respectively, were observed for extrinsic excitation process. Variations in emission spectra have bee...
Analysis of the Hall effect in TlGaTe2 single crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2009-06-10) The electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient of p-type TlGaTe2 crystals were measured in the temperature range of 110-320 K. The electrical resistivity, charge carrier density and Hall mobility data for the crystals have been analyzed by means of existing theories and models to determine the extrinsic energy levels, the carrier effective mass, the donor and acceptor concentrations and the dominant scattering mechanism in the crystal as well. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivit...
Structural, electrical and optical properties of Ge implanted GaSe single crystals grown by Bridgman technique KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet; KARABULUT, ORHAN; SERİNCAN, UĞUR; Turan, Raşit; Akinoglu, B. G. (Wiley, 2006-12-01) Structural, optical and electrical properties of Ge implanted GaSe single crystal have been studied by means of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), temperature dependent conductivity and photoconductivity (PC) measurements for different annealing temperatures. It was observed that upon implanting GaSe with Ge and applying annealing process, the resistivity is reduced from 2.1x10(9) to 6.5x10(5) ohm-em. From the temperature dependent conductivities, the activation energies have been found to be 4, 34, and 314 meV for a...
Electron-lattice interaction scattering mobility in Tl(2)InGaSe(4) single crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2008-04-16) In this work, the dark electrical resistivity, charge carrier density and Hall mobility of Tl(2)InGaSe(4) single crystal have been recorded and analyzed to investigate the dominant scattering mechanism in the crystal. The data analyses have shown that this crystal exhibits an extrinsic n-type conduction. The temperature-dependent dark electrical resistivity analysis reflected the existence of two energy levels as 0.396 and 0.512 eV, being dominant above and below 260 K, respectively. The temperature depende...
