Electrical and optical properties of plasma-polymerized fluorene-type (C13H10) iodine-and chlorine-doped thin films are investigated. Fluorene-type thin films are produced using a mixture of biphenyl (C12H10) and methane (CH4) inside a single capacitively coupled radio frequency plasma system. The dopants are mixed with the plasmadirectly as vapor during the deposition. The chemical structures of the generated functional compounds, evaluated by a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, exhibit a changeable extension conjugation providing high crosslinking and branching. The structural orders of the doped films are analyzed using X-ray diffraction measurements. The film thickness is measured by ellipsometry. Measured difference in thickness due to doping varies from 16 nm to 50 nm. The structural characterization shows that the doped films are stable and of high quality. The current-voltage characteristics of devices are obtained using two-point probe measurements. As a result of doping, electrical conductivity as high as two orders of magnitude compared to that of the undoped films is measured. In addition, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is used to characterize the optical properties. Optical energy band gaps of the doped films as low as 2.4 eV are obtained. In conclusion, plasma processing is proven to improve the optical and electrical properties of the doped films.

Optical and electrical characteristics of thermally evaporated Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 thin films Gullu, H. H.; Bayrakli, O.; Parlak, Mehmet (2017-10-01) In this study, optical and electrical characteristics of the Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 (CAIS) polycrystalline thin films were investigated. They were deposited on soda lime glass substrates with the evaporation of pure elemental sources by using physical thermal evaporation technique at 200 degrees C substrate temperature. The thin films were characterized firstly in as-grown form, and then annealed under the nitrogen environment to deduce the effects of annealing on the optical and electrical properties of the depos...
Structural and optical properties of Zn-In-Te thin films deposited by thermal evaporation technique Gullu, H. H.; Bayrakli, O.; CANDAN, İDRİS; COŞKUN, EMRE; Parlak, Mehmet (2013-07-25) Annealing effects on structural and optical properties of the thermally evaporated Zn-In-Te(ZIT) thin films have been investigated. The structural and the compositional analyses were carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA). The as-grown and annealed ZIT films had polycrystalline structure and the preferred orientation changed from (220) to (112) direction with increasing annealing temperature. The optical properties and constants were determined by transmi...
Structural and optical characteristics of thermally evaporated TlGaSe2 thin films Isik, M.; KARATAY, AHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2022-02-01) The present paper reports the structural and optical properties of thermally evaporated TlGaSe2 thin films. X-ray diffraction pattern of evaporated film presented two diffraction peaks around 24.15 and 36.00° which are associated with planes of monoclinic unit cell. Surface morphology of the TlGaSe2 thin films was investigated by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy techniques. Although there was observed some ignorable amount of clusters of quasi-spherical shape in the scanning electron microscope...
Numerical and experimental investigation on laser damage threshold of highly reflective multilayer thin films Ocak, Mustafa; Sert, Cüneyt; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) The laser induced temperature distributions on the optical thin films are investigated in this study. Effects of optical design modifications on thermal performance of highly reflective (HR) multilayer thin films are analyzed. Firstly, a conventional 19 layer HR coating is selected as a reference and the laser induced temperature distribution is evaluated on it. Then, alternative HR designs are developed by employing non-quarter wave layers, over coat (OC) layers and two high index materials in the coating ...
Investigation of structural and optical parameters of Cu-Ag-In-Se thin films deposited by thermal evaporation method Gullu, H. H.; CANDAN, İDRİS; COŞKUN, EMRE; Parlak, Mehmet (2015-01-01) Annealing effect on the structural and optical properties of the quaternary Cu-Ag-In-Se thin film deposited by the thermal evaporation has been investigated. The evaporation source was prepared by using vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger crystal growth system. Structural analysis indicated that annealing the films following to the deposition resulted in the changes from amorphous to polycrystalline phase with the preferred orientation along (1 1 2) direction. In order to determine the optical properties of the t...
