Distribution of shallow trap levels in AgIn5S8 crystals has been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements performed below room temperature (10-300 K). One broad TL peak centered at 33 K was observed as constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s was employed for measurement. The peak shape analysis showed that the TL curve could consist of several individual overlapping TL peaks or existence of quasi-continuous distributed traps. Therefore, TL experiments were repeated for different stopping temperatures (T-stop) between 10 and 34 K with constant heating rate of 0.2 K/s to separate the overlapping TL peaks. The E-t vs T-stop indicated that crystal has quasi-continuously distributed traps having activation energies increasing from 13 to 41 meV. Heating rate effect on trapped charge carriers was also investigated by carrying out the TL. experiments with various heating rates between 0.2 and 0.6 K/s for better comprehension of characteristics of existed trap levels. Analyses indicated that the trap levels exhibited the properties of anomalous heating rate behavior which means the TL intensity and area under the TL peak increase with increasing heating rate.

Traps distribution in sol-gel synthesized ZnO nanoparticles Delice, S.; IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2019-06-15) The distribution of shallow traps within the sol-gel synthesized ZnO nanoparticles was investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) experiments in the 10-300 K temperature range. TL measurements presented two overlapped peaks around 110 and 155 K. The experimental technique based on radiating the nanoparticles at different temperatures (T-exc.) between 60 and 125 K was carried out to understand the trap distribution characteristics of peaks. It was observed that peak maximum temperature shifted to higher valu...
Trapping center parameters in In6S7 crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2011-07-01) Thermally stimulated current measurements were carried out on In6S7 single crystals in the temperature range of 10-225 K with a constant heating rate of 0.8 K/s. The study of trapping centers was accomplished by the measurements of current flowing along the c-axis of crystals. The analysis of the glow curve according to various methods, such as curve fitting, initial rise and peak shape methods, gives results in good agreement with each other and revealed two trapping centers in In6S7 with activation energi...
Trapping center parameters in TlInSSe layered single crystals bit thermally stimulated currents measurements Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2009-10-19) Thermally stimulated current measurements have been carried out on TlInSSe layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-180 K at a constant heating rate 0.8 K s(-1) The electronic traps distributions have been analyzed by the different light illumination temperature technique (T-0.1 = 30, 40, 45, 50, 52, 55 and 57 K). It was revealed that the obtained traps distribution can be described as an exponential distribution. The variation of one order of magnitude in the trap density for every 41 meV was...
Determination of trapping center parameters in Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals by thermally stimulated current measurements Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2009-07-01) As-grown Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals were studied by thermally stimulated current measurements in the temperature range of 10-170K with different heating rates. Experimental data were analyzed according to various methods such as curve fitting and initial rise. The analysis of thermally stimulated current spectra registered at light excitation temperature T-0 = 10K revealed the trap level located at 30 meV. Attempt-to-escape frequency, concentration and capture cross section of the traps were determi...
Defect characterization in neodymium doped thallium indium disulfide crystals by thermoluminescence measurements Delice, S.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2016-10-15) Characteristics of defect centers in neodymium doped TlInS2 single crystals have been investigated in virtue of thermoluminescence measurements carried out at low temperatures (10-300 K) with various heating rates between 0.4 and 1.2 K s(-1). One glow peak was detected with peak maximum temperature of 26 K at a rate of 0.4 K s(-1). The observed glow peak was analyzed using three points and heating rate methods. The analysis results revealed the presence of one trap level with activation energy of 14 meV. Th...
