Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films were deposited onto soda lime glass substrates by thermal evaporation using the pure elemental sources. The influence of the sequential deposition order of Zn and Sn precursor layers for different evaporation cycles were investigated. In situ annealing at 400 degrees C under Se evaporation was applied to promote conversion of precursor layers to quaternary compound structure and additionally, subsequent post-annealing processes under nitrogen atmosphere at 450 degrees C was carried out to improve the crystalline behavior. The analyses concluded that the substrate temperature kept at 400 degrees C during selenization was not adequate to form homogenous CZTSe structure and as a result of post-annealing treatment, the polycrystalline quaternary CZTSe film structure was obtained. Structural analysis showed that in comparison with the initial Sn precursor layer, the growth process starting with Zn was found to be the preferable method to form better crystalline CZTSe structure. Furthermore, the stacking layer order and annealing processes showed the important effect on the stoichiometry and surface morphology of the films. The optical band gap energies were around 1.10 eV and also from Tauc plots, 1.40 eV was observed due to the admixture of secondary phases. The room temperature resistivity values and hole carrier densities were obtained around 10(-2) Omega cm and 1019 cm(-3), respectively. The mobility values of the samples were found in between 0.51 and 0.75 cm(2) V-1 s(-1).

Novel benzodithiophene type low band gap polymer solar cell application and device stability study with atomic layer deposition encapsulation technique
Turkmen, Tulin Ate; Ozturk, Soner; Çırpan, Ali; YERLİ, Yusuf; Aslan, Emre; Mucur, Selin Piravadili; Parlak, Elif Alturk (IOP Publishing, 2019-10-01)
Novel benzodithiophene type copolymer was synthesized through a solvent evaporation technique. Poly(5-(5-(4, 8-bis((2-ethylhexyl)oxy)benzo[1,2-b:4, 5-b']dithiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-2, 3-bis(3, 4-bis(decyloxy)phenyl)-8-(thiophen-2-yl) quinoxaline) (P-TQTBDT) solar cells were encapsulated with conventional and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) techniques. Characterizations of the samples were carried out via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromotagraphy (GPC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techn...
Investigations of thermal annealing role on the optical properties of Zn-In-Se thin films
Gullu, H. H.; COŞKUN, EMRE; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2017-01-01)
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 fi...
The investigation of structural, electrical, and optical properties of thermal evaporated AgGaS2 thin films
KARAAĞAÇ, HAKAN; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-31)
AgGaS2 (AGS) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by sequential thermal evaporation of AgGaS2 single crystalline powder and excess silver (Ag) interlayer. Systematic optimization to obtain single phase AgGaS2 thin films was carried out by changing the thickness of the excess silver layer. The structure and composition of as-grown and annealed films were studied by means of X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, respectively. The optical properties of AGS thin films determined by ...
The effect of substrate and post-annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline InSe thin films
Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 1998-06-08)
X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, compositional analysis and transmission measurements are performed on InSe thin films grown by thermal evaporation at different substrate and annealing temperatures of 150-250 degrees C and 100-200 degrees C, respectively. An analysis of structural measurements indicates that there exist three phases of In-Se system like InSe, In2Se3 and In6Se7 in the same film at low-substrate temperature, but at high-substrate temperatures, In2Se3 phase was absent. The comp...
Investigation of optical parameters of thermally evaporated ZnSe thin films
Gullu, H. H.; Coşkun, Emre; Parlak, Mehmet (2015-04-29)
In this work, zinc selenide (ZnSe) thin films were deposited by thermal evaporation method using pure elemental (Zn and Se) sources. The physical properties of the films have been investigated in terms of the structural and optical characterizations depending on the post-annealing process under nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature between 300 and 500 degrees C for 30 min. The structural and compositional analyses were carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy...
