The structural, electrical and optical properties of AgGa(Se0.5S0.5)(2) thin films deposited by using the thermal evaporation method have been investigated as a function of annealing in the temperature range of 450-600 degrees C. X-ray diffraction (X-RD) analysis showed that the structural transformation from amorphous to polycrystalline structure started at 450 degrees C with mixed binary phases of Ga2Se3, Ga2S3, ternary phase of AgGaS2 and single phase of S. The compositional analysis with the energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) revealed that the as- grown film has different elemental composition with the percentage values of Ag, Ga, Se and S being 5.58, 27.76, 13.84 and 52.82 % than the evaporation source powder, and the detailed information about the stoichometry and the segregation mechanisms of the constituent elements in the structure have been obtained. The optical band gap values as a function of annealing temperature were calculated as 2.68, 2.85, 2.82, 2.83, and 2.81 eV for as-grown, annealed at 450, 500, 550, and 600 degrees C samples, respectively. It was determined that these changes in the band gap are related with the structural changes with annealing. The temperature dependent conductivity measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 250-430 K for all samples. The room temperature resistivity value of as-grown film was found to be 0.7x10(8) (Omega-cm) and reduced to 0.9X10(7) (Omega-cm) following to the annealing. From the variation of electrical conductivity as a function of the ambient temperature, the activation energies at specific temperature intervals for each sample were evaluated.

Effects of CdCl2 treatment on properties of CdTe thin films grown by evaporation at low substrate temperatures
BACAKSIZ, EMİN; ALTUNBAŞ, MUSTAFA; Yflniaz, S.; Tornakin, M.; Parlak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2007-09-01)
The structural, morphological and optical properties of vacuum-evaporated CdTe thin films were investigated as a function of substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing without and with CdCl2/treatment at 400 degrees C for 30 min. Diffraction patterns are almost the same exhibiting higher preferential orientation corresponding to (111) plane of the cubic phase. The intensity of the (111) peak increased with the CdCl2/annealing treatment. The microstructure observed for all films following the CdCl2/...
Effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the refractive index and oscillator parameters of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) (0.25 <= x <= 1) layered mixed crystals
Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2010-11-01)
The optical properties of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1) have been studied at room temperature through the transmittance and reflectivity measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The spectral dependence of the refractive index for all compositions of studied crystals were obtained. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the Wemple-DiDomenico single-effective-oscillator model. The compositional dependencies of refractive index dispersion parameters: oscil...
Effect of crystal disorder on linewidth of the Raman modes in GaS1-xSex layered mixed crystals
Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2003-01-01)
The linewidths of Raman-active intralayer compressional modes in GaS1-xSex layered mixed crystals (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1) have been measured in the 10-300 K temperature range to study the anharmonic effect as a function of compositional variation and temperature. It was found that the anharmonicity increases with an increase in substitutional disorder. The cubic (three-phonon) processes with energy conservation is responsible for the anharmonic contribution to the broadening of t...
Effect of temperature and isomorphic atom substitution on optical absorption edge of TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1)
Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2010-05-01)
The optical properties of the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals (0.25 <= x <= 1) have been investigated through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined by means of the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps decrease with the increase of selenium atoms content in the TlInS2xSe2(1-x) mixed crystals. The transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300 K reve...
Effect of gramicidin S on the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol thermotropic phase transition in DPPG/GS systems: A mathematical approach
Stan, Cristina; Cristescu, C. P.; Severcan, Feride; Dorohoi, Dana (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01)
We present a mathematical approach to the experimental data recorded via Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy regarding the influence of the concentration of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S (GS) on the thermotropic phase transition of the dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-glycerol (DPPG) lipid bilayer membrane in DPPG/GS systems. The model is based on the influence of the GS concentration on the parameters of a nonlinear damped oscillator, which models the CH2 symmetric stretching band.
