Zn-In-Se (ZIS) thin films were prepared by sequential evaporation of its elemental sources on the glass substrates. The effect of thermal annealing under nitrogen environment on the optical properties of the films was discussed. In addition to the comparative study of three different annealing temperatures, the results were analyzed by relating with their structural and compositional characteristics. The optical analyses were based on the observed interference fringes on their transmission spectra of the films. The refractive indices were calculated by means of envelope method (EM) and the continuity of the refractive indices was evaluated by three-term Cauchy fitting process. From the results of the refractive index calculations, the real and imaginary part of the dielectric constant were determined. The optical absorption coefficients of the films were found in the range of 10(3)-10(4) cm(-1) over the visible and near-infrared region and by using these values, the extinction coefficients were calculated. Moreover, the band gap values were calculated from the corresponding Tauc plots, and the refractive index dispersion over the measured wavelength range was investigated with single-oscillator model (SOM) and the related parameters were obtained.

Deposition of AgGaS2 thin films by double source thermal evaporation technique KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-09-01) In this study, polycrystalline AgGaS2 thin films were deposited by the sequential evaporation of AgGaS2 and Ag sources with thermal evaporation technique. Thermal treatment in nitrogen atmosphere for 5 min up to 700 A degrees C was applied to the deposited thin films and that resulted in the mono phase AgGaS2 thin films without the participation of any other minor phase. Structural and compositional analyses showed the structure of the films completely changes with annealing process. The measurements of tra...
Temperature dependence of electrical properties in Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2/Si heterostructure Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-01) The polycrystalline Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin film was deposited on mono-crystalline n-Si wafer by sequential thermal evaporation of elemental sources. p-Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2/n-Si heterojunction diode was fabricated and the current-voltage characteristics of the diode at various temperatures were investigated to determine the main diode parameters and dark current transport mechanism. The studied diode structure showed a rectifying behavior with a barrier height of 0.63 eV at room temperature. Series and shunt resist...
Determination of current transport characteristics in Au-Cu/CuO/n-Si Schottky diodes Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Terlemezoglu, M.; Yildiz, D. E.; Parlak, M. (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01) In this study, the material properties of CuO thin films fabricated by sputtering technique and electrical properties of CuO/n-Si structure were reported. Temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) measurement was carried out to determine the detail electrical characteristics of this structure. The anomaly in thermionic emission (TE) model related to barrier height inhomogeneity at the interface was obtained from the forward bias I-V analysis. The current transport mechanism at the junction was determined ...
Investigation of post-thermal annealing on material properties of Cu-In-Zn-Se thin films Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2017-12-01) The Cu-In-Zn-Se thin film was synthesized by changing the contribution of In in chalcopyrite CuInSe2 with Zn. The XRD spectra of the films showed the characteristic diffraction peaks in a good agreement with the quaternary Cu-In-Zn-Se compound. They were in the polycrystalline nature without any post-thermal process, and the main orientation was found to be in the (112) direction with tetragonal crystalline structure. With increasing annealing temperature, the peak intensities in preferred orientation becam...
Investigation of band gap energy versus temperature for SnS 2 thin films grown by RF-magnetron sputtering Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) SnS2 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering technique were characterized by structurally and optically in the present work. Crystalline parameters, atomic compositions, and surface characteristics of SnS2 thin films were presented according to results of applied structural techniques. Optical studies of SnS2 thin films were accomplished by Raman spectroscopy and transmission methods. Raman spectrum exhibited two modes around 198 and 320 cm−1. Transmittance data obtained for various temperatures between 10...
