© 2021SnSe compound is an attractive semiconductor material due to its usage in photovoltaic applications. The substitution of Sb in the SnSe compound presents a remarkable advantage especially in point of tuning optical characteristics. The present paper reports the structural and optical properties of Sn1-xSbxSe (x = 0.4) layered single crystals grown by the vertical Bridgman method. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first investigation of the Sn0.6Sb0.4Se crystal grown with the vertical Bridgman technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the grown crystal indicated the well crystalline structure of the grown crystals. Lattice strain and interplanar spacing of the crystal structure were determined using the XRD pattern. Scanning electron microscope images allowed to the observation of the layer crystal structure. The layer crystalline structure shows 2D material properties and provides 2D applications. Optical properties were revealed by carrying out Raman, ellipsometry and transmission measurements. Raman modes, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and dielectric spectra, band gap energy of the crystal were presented throughout the paper. The obtained results indicated that Sn1-xSbxSe (x = 0.4) layer single crystals may be an alternative potential for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.

GROWTH, CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVICE APPLICATIONS OF CADMIUM ZINC TELLURIDE THIN FILMS Doğru Balbaşı, Çiğdem; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Physics (2022-5-25) CdZnTe is an II-VI group semiconductor material with significant properties used in many critical industrial applications, such as photovoltaic devices, photodiodes, photoconductors, room temperature gamma-ray spectroscopy, X-ray imaging, and infrared detectors. In Particular, CdZnTe is a promising material for solar cell application as an absorber layer due to its direct tunable bandgap property, high atomic number with strong absorption, excellent optoelectronic properties, and long-term stability. Howeve...
Optical and photoelectrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals Güler, Işıkhan; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-01-01) Optical and electrical properties of TlInSSe layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission, reflection and photoconductivity measurements. Transmission and reflection experiments have been carried out from 540 to 1000 nm at room temperature. Derivative analysis was applied to both transmission and reflection spectra and indirect band gap energy was found as 2.06 eV. Photoconductivity measurements have been performed in the temperature range from 245 to 300 K and in the voltage range fro...
Synthesis, characterization and investigation of thermoluinescence properties of strontium pyrophosphate doped with metals İlkay, Levent Sait; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2009) Strontium pyrophosphate is a promising phosphate that is used widely in the industry as a result of its luminescent, fluorescent, dielectric, semi-conductor, catalyst, magnetic and ion exchange properties. Thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) is one of such areas. Recent researches in METU on thermoluminescence property of strontium pyrophosphate showed that strontium pyrophosphate could give enough intensity for radiation dosimetry when doped with oxides of some rare-earth elements. In this study strontium py...
Properties of Al2O3: nc-Si nanostructures formed by implantation of silicon ions into sapphire and amorphous films of aluminum oxide Tetelbaum, D. I.; Mikhaylov, A. N.; Belov, A. I.; Ershov, A. V.; Pitirimova, E. A.; Plankina, S. M.; Smirnov, V. N.; Kovalev, A. I.; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Finstad, T. G.; FOSS, SEAN (2009-02-01) Photoluminescence, infrared Fourier spectroscopy, Raman scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction were used to study the luminescent, optical, and structural properties of aluminum oxide layers (sapphire and films of Al2O3 deposited on silicon) implanted with Si+ to produce silicon nanocrystals. It is established that, in both cases, a high-temperature annealing of heavily implanted samples brings about the formation of silicon nanocrystals. However, the luminescent properties o...
Optical properties of TlGaxIn1-xS2 layered mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) I. Composition- and temperature-tuned energy band gap Hasanlı, Nızamı (2010-05-28) Optical properties of the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined through the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps increase with increasing of gallium atoms content in the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals. From the transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300K, the rates of change of t...
