The photocurrent (PC) spectrum of AgIn5S8 crystal consists of a single peak, which provides to determine the bandgap energy by applying the Moss rule. The temperature dependence of the bandgap energy was also calculated. The PC dramatically increased by pre-illumination with light having wavelength corresponding to the bandgap of AgIn5S8. The temperature-dependent PC of the sample was measured at different temperatures from 80 to 300 K and the PC spectrum consisted a single broad peak. Thermal quenching of the PC was observed to start at similar to 105 K and the PC completely quenched at similar to 180 K. The quenching mechanism was discussed in terms of the two-centre model. The height of the PC peak rised linearly with applied voltage up to 5.0 V under constant intensity of light. Similarly, the dark current-voltage characteristics consisted of a single region dominating an ohmic behaviour, and no space charge limited region was apparent at various temperatures up to 20 V.

Trapping centers and their distribution in Tl2InGaSe4 single crystals by thermally stimulated luminescence
Delice, S.; IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-03-01)
Thermoluminescence (TL) measurements in Tl2InGaSe4-layered single crystals have been carried out in the temperature range of 10-200 K at various heating rates (0.2-1.0 K s(-1)) to get information about the characteristics of traps. Two TL overlapping glow peaks related to defect levels have been clearly observed. Thermal cleaning procedure was applied to the glow curves to separate overlapped peaks. Initial rise, peak shape, and heating rate methods were used to calculate the activation energies of the reve...
Photoelectronic and electrical properties of CuIn5S8 single crystals
Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2003-01-01)
To identify the impurity levels in CuIn5S8 single crystals, the dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 50-460 K. The data reflect the intrinsic and extrinsic nature of the crystals above and below 300 K, respectively. Energy band gaps of 1.35 and 1.31 eV at 0 K and 300 K, were defined from the dark conductivity measurements and the photocurrent spectra, respectively. The dark and photoconductivity data in the extrinsic temperature region ...
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.

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 observation of trapping centers in an undoped Tl4Ga3InSe8 layered single crystal
Hasanlı, Nızamı; Ozkan, H. (Wiley, 2006-11-01)
Thermally stimulated current measurements are carried out on as-grown Tl4Ga3InSe8 layered single crystal in the temperature range 10-160 K with different heating rates. Experimental evidence is found for two shallow trapping centers in Tl4Ga3InSe8. They are located at 17 and 27 meV. The trap parameters have been determined by various methods of analysis, and they agree well with each other. It is concluded that in these centers retrapping is negligible, as confirmed by the good agreement between the experim...
