Low-temperature thermoluminescence in layered structured Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals

2012-12-25
Defect centers in Ga0.75In0.25Se single crystals have been studied performing the thermoluminescence measurements in the temperature range of 10-300 K. The observed glow curves were analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise, and different heating rate methods to determine the activation energies of the defect centers. Thermal cleaning process has been applied to decompose the overlapped curves. Four defect centers with activation energies of 9, 45,54 and 60 meV have been found as a result of the analysis. The capture cross sections and attempt-to-escape frequencies of the defect centers were also found using the curve fitting method under the light of theoretical predictions. The first order kinetics for the observed glow curve was revealed from the consistency between the theoretical predictions for slow retrapping and experimental results. Another indication of negligible retrapping was the independency of peak position from concentration of carriers trapped in defect levels.

Isik, M.; Bulur, Enver; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2013-03-01)
Thermoluminescence (TL) measurements have been carried out on TlGaS2 layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-300 K. After illuminating with blue light (similar to 470 nm) at 10 K, TL glow curves exhibited peaks around 23, 36, 58, 75 and 120 K when measured with a heating rate of 0.8 K/s. The observed peaks were analyzed using curve fitting, initial rise, and peak shape methods to determine the activation energies of the associated defect centers. Analyses have revealed the presence of five de...

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CuIn5S8 single crystals grown by Bridgman method have been studied in the wavelength region of 720-1020 nm and in the temperature range of 10-34 K. A broad PL band centred at 861 nm (1.44 eV) was observed at T = 10 K. Variations of emission band has been studied as a function of excitation laser intensity in the 0.5- 60.2 mW cm(-2) range. Radiative transitions from shallow donor level located at 17 meV below the bottom of the conduction band to the acceptor level located at...
Characteristics of traps in Tl2Ga2Se3S single crystals by low-temperature thermoluminescence measurements

Defect characterization of Tl2Ga2Se3S single crystals has been performed by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements at low temperatures between 10 and 70K with various heating rate ranging from 0.6 to 1.0K/s. The TL signal due to the luminescence from trap centers revealed one glow peak having maximum temperature of 36K. Curve fitting and various heating rate methods were used for the analysis of the glow curve. The activation energy of 13meV was found by the application of curve fitting method. This practical...

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of TlGa0.5In0.5Se2 layered crystals have been studied in the wavelength region of 900-1020 nm and in the temperature range of 10-61 K. A broad PL band centered at 951 nm (1.304 eV) was observed at T = 10 K. Variations of emission band has been studied as a function of excitation laser intensity in the 0.15-51.5 mW cm(-2) range. The analysis of the spectra reveals that the peak energy position changes with laser excitation intensity (blue shift). This behavior of the emission b...
