Composition dependence of lattice parameters and band gap energies of thallium based layered mixed crystals

2015-07-01
Compositional dependence of lattice parameters and unit cell volumes of TlMeX2-type (Me = Ga or In and X = S or Se) layered mixed crystals with monoclinic structure has been studied by X-ray diffraction technique. It is revealed that the lattice parameters of TlGa1-xInxSe2, TlGa(S1-xSex)(2), TlGa1-xInxS2 and TlIn(Se1-xSx)(2) mixed crystals increase due to the substitution of gallium atoms by indium and sulfur atoms by selenium. Moreover, the absorption edges of these mixed crystals have been investigated through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1,100 nm. The analysis of absorption data has revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions. It is found that the energy band gaps of mixed crystals decrease due to the substitution of gallium atoms by indium and of sulfur atoms by selenium.

The optical properties of Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 450-1100 nm. The analysis of the absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with energy band gaps of 2.16 and 2.42 eV, respectively. The observed coexistence of indirect and direct energy band gaps is related to the anisotropy of the TI-containing layered crystals. The dispersion of the refractive index is di...

The optical properties of Tl2In2Se3S layered single crystals have been analyzed using transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength region between 500 and 1100 nm. The optical indirect transitions with a band gap energy of 1.96 eV and direct transitions with a band gap energy of 2.16 eV were determined from analysis of absorption data at room temperature. Dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the Wemple-DiDomenico single-effective-oscillator model. The refractive index dis...

Hasanlı, Nızamı; Tas, M (Wiley, 2000-01-01)
Variation of the lattice parameters of TlTl1-xInxSe2 chain mixed crystals with composition have been studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The lattice anisotropy (c/a) of the TlBX2-type mixed crystals changes linearly with substitution of the atoms located bath at the center and at the vertices of the BX4 tetrahedra. A brief survey of the important features of the effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the lattice anisotropy of TlBX2-type mixed crystals with chain structure has been presented.
Optical properties of TlGaxIn1-xS2 layered mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) I. Composition- and temperature-tuned energy band gap
Hasanlı, Nızamı (2010-05-28)
Optical properties of the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined through the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps increase with increasing of gallium atoms content in the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals. From the transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300K, the rates of change of t...
