Item Open Access Effect of substitutional as impurity on electrical and optical properties of β-Si3N4 structure(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Kutlu, E.; Narin, P.; Atmaca, G.; Sarikavak-Lisesivdin, B.; Lisesivdin, S. B.; Özbay, Ekmelβ-Si3N4 is used as the gate dielectric for surface passivation in GaN-based, high-electron mobility transistors(HEMTs). In this study, the electrical and optical characteristics of the hexagonal β-Si3N4 crystal structure were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and local-density approximation (LDA). Calculations of the electronic band structure and the density of states (DOS) were made for the pure β-Si3N4 crystal structure and the β-Si3N4 crystal doped with an arsenic (As) impurity atom. In addition, the optical properties such as the static dielectric constant, refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient and reflection coefficient were examined depending on the photon energy. As a result of these calculations, it was observed that the As impurity atom drastically changed the electrical and optical properties of the pure β-Si3N4 crystalline structure, and improvements are suggested for potential further studies.Item Open Access Trap levels in layered semiconductor Ga2SeS(Elsevier, 2004) Aydınlı, Atilla; Gasanly, N. M.; Aytekin, S.Trap levels in nominally undoped Ga2SeS layered crystals have been characterized by thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements. During the measurements, current was allowed to flow along the c-axis of the crystals in the temperature range of 10-300 K. Two distinct TSC peaks were observed in the spectra, deconvolution of which yielded three peaks. The results are analyzed by curve fitting, peak shape and initial rise methods. They all seem to be in good agreement with each other. The activation energies of three trapping centers in Ga2SeS are found to be 72, 100 and 150 meV. The capture cross section of these traps are 6.7×10-23, 1.8×10-23 and 2.8×10-22cm2 with concentrations of 1.3×1012, 5.4×1012 and 4.2×1012cm-3, respectively.
