Anomalous heating rate dependence of thermoluminescence in Tl2GaInS4 single crystals

2014-12-01
Trap centers in Tl2GaInS4 single crystals have been investigated by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in the temperature range of 10-110 K. Curve-fitting method was utilized to evaluate the activation energies (12 and 26 meV) of revealed two trap centers. Thermal cleaning method was applied to the spectra and two overlapping peaks were reduced to one single peak corresponding to deeper trap level. The characteristics of heating rate dependence and trap distribution of the separated peak have been studied using experimental techniques based on various heating rates and various illumination temperatures, respectively. Anomalous heating rate dependence was observed carrying out TL measurements with various heating rate between 0.2 and 1.2 K s(-1). This behavior was explained on the base of a semi-localized transition model. Moreover, increase of activation energy from 27 to 67 meV was revealed for the applied illumination temperature range of 26-36 K.

Işık, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Gasanova, L. G.; Mahammadov, A. Z. (2018-07-01)
Cu3Ga5S9 semiconducting single crystals were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in 10-300 K temperature region. In the TL glow curve, one peak starting to appear at the instant temperature is increased from 10 K and another peak, which is broader than a general individual TL peak, were observed. The broad peak around 66 K was investigated using T-m-T-stop experimental method to understand whether or not this peak is composed of more than one individual peaks or continuously distributed ...
Characteristics of traps in AgIn5S8 single crystals
Özdemir, Salahattin; Firat, Tezer (Elsevier BV, 2014-10)
Characteristics of charge traps in AgIn5S8 single crystals are investigated by the use of Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) technique. The TSC spectra of the unintentionally doped sample recorded at a constant heating rate from 80 K to 300 K reveals a single broad peak at similar to 90 K. The shift of the TSC peak continuously due to post-illumination preheating process confirmed the continuous trap distribution, which is Gaussian in shape. The trap density distribution changes from similar to 40 meV on th...

Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2010-01-01)
Thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements have been carried out on Tl(2)ln(2)Se(3)S layered single crystals in the temperature range of 10-175 K. The TSC spectra reveal the presence of two peaks (A and B). The electronic traps' distributions have been analyzed by different light illumination temperature techniques. It was revealed that the obtained traps' distribution can be described as an exponential one. The variations of one order of magnitude in the traps' density for every 30 meV (A peak) and 59...
Excitation and temperature tuned photoluminescence in Tl2In2S3Se layered crystals
Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2006-12-01)
Photoluminescence spectra of Tl2In2S3Se layered single crystals have been studied in the wavelength region of 535-725 nm and in the temperature range of 22-58 K. Two photoluminescence bands centered at 564 (2.20 eV, A-band) and 642 nm (1.93 eV, B-band) were observed at T = 22 K. Variations of both bands have been investigated as a function of excitation laser intensity in the range from 16 to 516 mW cm(-2). These bands are attributed to recombination of charge carriers through donor-acceptor pairs located i...

Trap centres in gallium sulfide single crystals have been investigated by thermoluminescence measurements in the temperature range of 10-230K. A curve-fitting method was utilized to evaluate the activation energies (52, 200 and 304meV) of the revealed three trap centres. The heating rate dependence and trap distribution of the peaks have been studied using experimental techniques based on various heating rates and various illumination temperatures, respectively.
