Structural, optical, and electrical properties ZnTe thin films grown by magnetron sputtering technique were studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electrical conductivity measurements. Structural analyses showed that ZnTe thin films grown on soda-lime glass substrates have a cubic crystalline structure. This crystalline nature of the films was also discussed in terms of Raman active modes. From atomic force microscopy images, the smooth and dense surface profile was observed. The conductivity of the film at room temperature was measured as 2.45 x 10(-4)(omega cm)(-1)and the temperature dependency of conductivity showed Arrhenius behavior. The dark conductivity profile was modeled by thermionic emission mechanism and activation energies were extracted. In addition, the conductivity values indicated an increasing behavior with illumination intensity applied between 20 and 115 mW/cm(2). The heterojunction diode was generated by sputtering ZnTe film on n-Si wafer substrate and the rectification behavior was evaluated to determine the main diode parameters.

Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01)
In this paper, optical and electrical properties of thermally deposited Cu-Ga-S thin films were investigated using temperature-dependent optical transmission and electrical conductivity measurements. The analysis of the transmission spectra resulted in formation of three direct optical transitions due to the possible valence band splitting in the structure. The band gap values were calculated by means of absorption coefficient and incident photon energy was found in decreasing behavior as the temperature ri...

This study reveals the electrical properties of In/HfO2/n-Si structure with atomic layer-deposited interfacial oxide layer, HfO2 thin film between In top metal contact and monocrystalline Si wafer substrate. From the dark current-voltage measurements, the diode structure showed good rectifying behavior and low saturation current of about two order of magnitude and 1.2 x 10(- 9) A, respectively. According to the conventional thermionic emission model, zero-bias barrier height and ideality factor were calcula...
Structural and molecular electronic properties of B-N ring doped single-wall carbon nanotubes
Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, A (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01)
Various molecular electronic properties of boron-nitride nanotube ring doped four different single-wall carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically by performing self-consistent-field molecular-orbital semi-empirical and density functional theory calculations. Results are compared with corresponding carbon nanotubes. It is seen that polar nature of the boron-nitride nanotube ring lead to a spontaneous polarization, an electrostatic potential barrier occurs in metallic carbon nanotube models, and these m...

Energetics and structural properties of carbon and oxygen doped hexagonal boron nitride sheets have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations. Substitutional doping model has been considered in the neutral charge state. C and O atoms replaced either B or N site in the system as impurities. A systematic study has been performed to see the effect of cell size on the calculated quantities, such as formation energy, relaxation energy, charge and bond length. It has been found that s...

In/Cu2ZnSnTe4/Si/Ag diode structure was fabricated by sputtering Cu2ZnSnTe4 (CZTTe) thin film layer on the Si layer with In front contact. The frequency dependent room temperature capacitance and conductance measurements were carried out to obtain detailed information of its electrical characteristics. Admittance spectra of the diode exhibited strong frequency dependence and the obtained values showed decreasing behavior with the increase in the applied frequency. The effect of interfacial film layer with s...
