The de conductivity of electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films doped from light to intermediate levels with p-toluene sulfonic acid was measured in the temperature range of 77 to 300 K, using a modified four-probe rig. Plots of de conductivity vs. temperature were parameterized by fitting Mott's Variable Range Hopping conduction model. The localization length of localized electrons was assumed to be 3 Angstrom, which is approximately equal to the length of a pyrrole monomer. Mott parameters of polypyrrole films doped with p-TS were evaluated at 300 and 10 K. Results were found to be consistent with Mott's requirement that alpha R much greater than 1. Microwave (10 GHz) conductivity measurements were carried out on the same set of polypyrrole samples at a temperature range of 90 to 473 K. Both microwave and de conductivities were found to increase with temperature. The large values of microwave conductivity compared to de conductivity over the temperature range tested suggests the existence of more charge hopping that does not contribute to the de conductivity.

Transient and steady state photoelectronic analysis in TlInSe2 crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) The temperature and illumination effects on the transient and steady state photoconductivities of TlInSe2 crystals have been studied. Namely, two recombination centres located at 234 and at 94 meV and one trap center located at 173 meV were determined from the temperature-dependent steady state and transient photoconductivities, respectively. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity indicated the domination of sublinear and supralinear recombination mechanisms above and below 160 K, respectively. Th...
Thermally stimulated currents in n-InS single crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı; Yuksek, NS (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-24) Thermally stimulated current measurements are carried out on as-grown n-InS single crystals in the temperature range of 10-125 K. Experimental evidence is found for four trapping centers present in InS. They are located at 20, 35, 60 and 130 meV. The trap parameters have been determined by various methods of analysis, and they agree well with each other.
Electrical conductivity and Hall mobility in p-type TlGaSe2 crystals Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-02) Systematic dark electrical conductivity and Hall mobility measurements have been carried out in the temperature range of 200-350 K on p-type TlGaSe2 crystals. The analysis of the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity and carrier concentration reveals the extrinsic type of conduction with an acceptor impurity level located at 0.33 eV, and donor and acceptor concentrations of 9.0 x 10(15) and 1.3 x 10(16) cm(-3), respectively. A hole and electron effective masses of 0.520m(0) and 0.325m(0), respective...
Thermally stimulated current measurements in undoped Ga3InSe4 single crystals IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) The trap levels in nominally undoped Ga3InSe4 crystals were investigated in the temperature range of 10-300 K using the thermally stimulated currents technique. The study of trap levels was accomplished by the measurements of current flowing along the c-axis of the crystal. During the experiments we utilized a constant heating rate of 0.8 K/s. Experimental evidence is found for one hole trapping center in the crystal with activation energy of 62 meV. The analysis of the experimental TSC curve gave reasonabl...
Optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Nasser, H.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Darvishov, N. H.; Bagiev, V. E. (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-01) Structural and optical characteristics of Bi12SiO20 single crystal grown by the Czochralski method were investigated by virtue of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. XRD analysis indicated that the studied crystal possesses cubic structure with lattice parameters of a = 1.0107 nm. Spectral dependencies of several optical parameters like complex dielectric constant, refractive index, extinction and absorption coefficients were determined using ellipsometry experiments perform...
