Ga2Se3 and Ga2S3 compounds take attention due to their potential applications in photovoltaics. Defects and impurities may affect the quality of optoelectronic devices. Therefore, it is worthwhile to determine the parameters (activation energy, order of kinetics, frequency factor) of traps associated with the defects and/or impurities. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the trapping parameters of (Ga2Se3)(0.25) - (Ga2S3)(0.75) single crystal which is one of the member of (Ga2Se3)(x) - (Ga2S3)(1-x) mixed crystals. For this purpose, thermoluminescence (TL) experiments were performed on (Ga2Se3)(0.25) - (Ga2S3)(0.75) single crystals in the 10-300 K region. TL spectra were also recorded using various heating rates in between 0.2 and 1.0 K/s and stopping temperatures from 30 to 60 K to get the detailed information about the characteristics of the trapping parameters. TL glow curves exhibited the overlapped peaks. The stopping temperature experimental data indicated that traps present quasi-continuous distribution within the band gap. Initial rise method analyses were applied to get the activation energies of quasi-continuously distributed revealed traps. Thermal activation energies of distributed traps were found as increasing from 108 to 246 meV as stopping temperature was increased from 30 to 60 K. The structural characteristics (lattice constants and atomic compositions of constituent elements) of used compound were also reported in the present study.

Thermally stimulated currents in n-InS single crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı; Yuksek, NS (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-24) Thermally stimulated current measurements are carried out on as-grown n-InS single crystals in the temperature range of 10-125 K. Experimental evidence is found for four trapping centers present in InS. They are located at 20, 35, 60 and 130 meV. The trap parameters have been determined by various methods of analysis, and they agree well with each other.
Transient and steady state photoelectronic analysis in TlInSe2 crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) The temperature and illumination effects on the transient and steady state photoconductivities of TlInSe2 crystals have been studied. Namely, two recombination centres located at 234 and at 94 meV and one trap center located at 173 meV were determined from the temperature-dependent steady state and transient photoconductivities, respectively. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity indicated the domination of sublinear and supralinear recombination mechanisms above and below 160 K, respectively. Th...
Microstructural investigation of Cu2+ doped nanohydroxyapatites Evis, Zafer (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01) Pure and Cu2+ doped nanohydroxyapatites were synthesised by a precipitation method to investigate the effect of Cu2+ ions on the structure of hydroxyapatite (HA) and its thermal stability after the air sintering at 1100 degrees C. A small amount of CaO was observed in the Cu2+ doped HAs after the X-ray diffraction results. The addition of Cu2+ changed the hexagonal lattice parameters of the HA and resulted in smaller grain size after sintering at 1100 degrees C. The addition of Cu2+ ions into HA resulted in...
Hydrothermal BaTiO3 thin films from nanostructured Ti templates Akyildiz, Hasan; Casper, Michelle D.; Ayguen, Seymen M.; Lam, Peter G.; Maria, Jon P. (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2011-02-01) Polycrystalline BaTiO3 thin films have been prepared by hydrothermal reaction with sputter-deposited nanostructured reactive Ti templates designed to control net diffusion direction and distance. Templates were prepared in two morphologies, i.e., planar and nanopillar. The samples produced from flat templates showed sluggish transformation kinetics and an eventual termination of reaction without fully consuming the Ti metal. Templates with pillar morphology, on the other hand, could be transformed to phase-...
Thin films of hard cubic Zr3N4 stabilized by stress Chhowalla, M; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (Nature Materials, 2005-04-01) Hard, refractory thin films consisting of group IVB element mono-nitrides deposited using various chemical and physical vapour-deposition techniques are widely used in wear-resistant applications. As the demand for performance exceeds the capabilities of existing materials, new materials with superior properties must be developed. Here we report the realization and characterization of hard cubic Zr3N4 (c-Zr3N4) thin films. The films, deposited using a novel but industrially viable modified filtered cathodic...
