Cu3Ga5S9 semiconducting single crystals were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in 10-300 K temperature region. In the TL glow curve, one peak starting to appear at the instant temperature is increased from 10 K and another peak, which is broader than a general individual TL peak, were observed. The broad peak around 66 K was investigated using T-m-T-stop experimental method to understand whether or not this peak is composed of more than one individual peaks or continuously distributed traps. Curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods were used for acceptable TL curves to be analyzed. TL curves in T-m-T-stop method indicated that observed peaks are due to the existence of quasi-continuous distribution of traps. Structural characterizations of Cu3Ga5S9 single crystals were studied using x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. The crystal structure, lattice parameters and atomic composition of the elements were reported in the present paper.

Delice, S.; IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-01-01)
Trapping centers in Gd2O3 nanoparticles were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in the below room temperature region of 10-280 K. Seven peaks having peak maximum temperatures between 30 and 252 K were observed in the TL spectra measured at constant heating rate of 0.3 K/s. Activation energies, order of kinetics and frequency factors were reported using three different analysis techniques: curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods. Activation energies of the trapping centers wer...

Low-temperature thermoluminescence (TL) properties of ZnO nanoparticles grown by sol-gel method were investigated in the 10-300 K temperature range. TL glow curve obtained at 0.2 K/s constant heating rate exhibited one broad peak around 83 K. The observed peak was analyzed using curve fitting method to determine the activation energies of trapping center(s) responsible for glow curve. Analyses resulted in the presence of three peaks at 55, 85 and 118 K temperatures with activation energies of 12, 30 and 45 ...

DELİCE, SERDAR; Bulur, Enver; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-03-24)
Trap centres in gallium sulfide single crystals have been investigated by thermoluminescence measurements in the temperature range of 10-230K. A curve-fitting method was utilized to evaluate the activation energies (52, 200 and 304meV) of the revealed three trap centres. The heating rate dependence and trap distribution of the peaks have been studied using experimental techniques based on various heating rates and various illumination temperatures, respectively. An anomalous heating rate dependence of the h...

Trapping center properties of bismuth silicon oxide (Bi12SiO20) single crystals were investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed in the 50–400 °C temperature range. Experimental TL curve recorded at heating rate of 1 °C/s presented two overlapped peaks around 279 and 362 °C. The heating rate dependency of TL curve was also studied for heating rates between 1 and 6 °C/s. The measured TL curves were analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise and different heating rate methods. The results o...

The thermoluminescence (TL) of neodymium-doped gallium sulfide (GaS:Nd) single crystals was measured from 10 K to room temperature with various heating rates between 0.2 and 1.0 K/sec. Two peaks centered at 70.9 K and 116.0 K were observed when using a heating rate of 0.8 K/sec. Initial rise and curve fitting methods were used to obtain information on trap activation energies. Activation energies of 94 and 216 meV were found for two analyzable peaks. The heating rate dependencies of TL intensities revealed ...
