Voltage-current (V-I) characteristics of the ceramic Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223) superconductors were studied in magnetic fields up to 80 mT at different temperatures just below the critical temperature. The V-I data were fitted to a power law expression V = I-beta(T,I-B) in which the exponential parameter beta is found to decrease rapidly with increase of temperature and magnetic field. In zero magnetic field the slopes of beta versus T graphs change drastically in a narrow temperature range in which beta decreases from about 3 to about 2. At temperatures below about 0.8-0.9 T-c the critical current I-c rapidly decreases with magnetic fields up to about 20 mT. This is followed by a more gradual change up to about 60 mT before I-c decreases rapidly to zero in magnetic fields higher than 60 mT. These features of the Tl-based ceramic superconductors are quite similar to those of superconducting tapes. We propose that the lattice anisotropy, preferred orientation and behaviours of the weak and strong links between the grains play an important role in this similarity.

Effect of magnetic field and gamma irradiation on the electrical properties and structure of the Tl-based ceramic superconductors
Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Kayed, T (IOP Publishing, 2000-02-01)
The voltage-current (V-I) characteristics, critical temperatures and the critical currents of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223) ceramic superconductors were studied in magnetic fields up to 80 mT after several gamma irradiations up to 100 MR. The effect of gamma irradiation on the structure of these materials has also been studied. The normal state resistance increases by 20-30% with gamma irradiation, most of the changes taking place in low gamma doses up to 10 MR. The critical temperat...
Critical currents in Bi-2223 tapes near T-c under magnetic field and gamma-irradiation
Kayed, TS; Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ercan, I (IOP Publishing, 2000-12-01)
The critical temperature and critical current of Bi-2223 tapes have been studied near T-c under a magnetic field and gamma -irradiation. T-c decreases from 109 to 96 K with an increase in B up to 100 mT. In the 100-110 K range I-c decreases by about 75-85% at steady rates in low fields up to 20-50 mT, then decreases to zero at slower rates with further increase of field. The I-c versus B plots are non-exponential in small fields (up to 30 mT at 100 K and up to 10 mT at 108 K) and change to exponential form ...
Electrical and photoconductive properties of GaS0.75Se0.25 mixed crystals
KARABULUT, ORHAN; Parlak, Mehmet; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2005-03-01)
The conductivity, mobility, photoconductivity and photo response measurements in GaS0.75Se0.25 mixed crystals were carried out in the temperature range of 150-450 K. The room temperature conductivity, mobility and electron concentration values were 10(-9) (Omega-cm)(-1), 48 cm(2)V(-1) s(-1) and similar to 10(9) cm(-3), respectively. Two donor levels were obtained from temperature-dependent conductivity and carrier concentration, located at energies of about 755 and 465 meV below the conduction band. Single ...
Current transport mechanisms in low resistive CdS thin films
Günal, İbrahim; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-02-01)
The current transport mechanisms in polycrystalline CdS thin films have been studied as a function of temperature over the temperature range 20-230 K. Conductivity data for the high temperature region has been analysed using Seto's model of thermionic emission. At intermediate temperatures it was found that thermionic emission and tunnelling of carriers through the potential barrier both contribute to the conductivity. Below 100 K Mott's hopping process appears to be the predominant conduction mechanism.
Temperature effect on dark electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, space charge limited current and photoconductivity of TlGaS2 single crystals
Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2005-05-01)
The dark electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, space charge limited current, and illumination and temperature dependences of the photocurrent of TIGaS2 single crystals in the temperature regions of 100-350, 200-350, 200-290 and 100-350 K, respectively, have been measured and analysed. The Hall coefficient measurements revealed the extrinsic type of conduction with conductivity-type conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K. The temperature dependence of the dark electrical conduct...
