ABSORBŢIA LUMINII ŞI FOTOLUMINESCENŢA IONILOR Eu3+ ÎN CRISTALE DE CaF2
(CEP USM, 2012) Untila, Dumitru; Racoveț, Oxana; Evtodiev, Silvia; Caraman, Mihail
From optical transmittance and photoluminescence measurements of natural crystals of CaF2:Eu was established the correlation between energy states diagram of Eu3+ ion and the structure of these bands. Photon absorption in this material occurs at electronic transitions from the 7F0 level on the G, D, L configuration levels of Eu3+ ion. Because 7F1 level population is much smaller than the 7F0 fundamental level population, the photon absorption intensity which involving 7F1 level is not evident in absorption spectra at room temperature. CaF2:Eu3+ crystal photoluminescence is determined by electron radiative transitions from 5 D0 level to the low energy levels 7F0, 7F2 and, perhaps, 7F3.
CARACTERIZAREA STRUCTURALĂ A STRATURILOR SUBȚIRI DE Sb2Te3 FABRICATE PRIN METODA SUBLIMĂRII ÎN VOLUM CUAZI-ÎNCHIS
(CEP USM, 2024) Untila, Dumitru; Lungu, Ion; Suman, Victor; Gadiac, Ivan; Potlog, Tamara
Straturi subțiri de Sb2Te3 au fost obținute pe suporturi de sticlă ITO/CdS prin metoda sublimării în volum cuazi-închis (CSS). Prin analiza difracției razelor X, s-a constatat că straturile subțiri de Sb2Te3 au rețea cristalină hexagonală, ce aparține grupului spațial P6/mmm. Creșterea temperaturii evaporatorului de la 470°C până la 530°C, duce la modificarea orientării preferabile de creștere a cristalitelor compusului Sb2Te3 și la creșterea gradului de cristalinitate a acestuia. Investigațiile Raman, au confirmat rezultatele XRD și au fost folosite pentru a obține informații suplimentare asupra structurii straturilor subțiri de Sb2Te3. Caracteristica dubletului observat la 119,54 cm–1 și 138,83 cm–1, precum și la 93,65 cm-1 si 107,36 cm-1 cu intensitate integrală foarte mică pot fi atribuite interacțiunii Te-Te între pachetele de telurură de antimoniu.

This work studies the technological preparation conditions, morphology, structural char- acteristics and elemental composition, and optical and photoluminescent properties of GaSe single crystals and Eu-doped β–Ga2O3 nanoformations on ε–GaSe:Eu single crystal substrate, obtained by heat treatment at 750–900 ◦C, with a duration from 30 min to 12 h, in water vapor-enriched atmosphere, of GaSe plates doped with 0.02–3.00 at. % Eu. The defects on the (0001) surface of GaSe:Eu plates serve as nucleation centers of β–Ga2O3:Eu crystallites. For 0.02 at. % Eu doping, the fundamental absorption edge of GaSe:Eu crystals at room temperature is formed by n = 1 direct excitons, while at 3.00 at. % doping, Eu completely shields the electron–hole bonds. The band gap of nanostructured β–Ga2O3:Eu layer, determined from diffuse reflectance spectra, depends on the dopant concentration and ranges from 4.64 eV to 4.87 eV, for 3.00 and 0.05 at. % doping, respectively. At 0.02 at. % doping level, the PL spectrum of ε–GaSe:Eu single crystals consists of the n = 1 exciton band, together with the impurity band with a maximum intensity at 800 nm. Fabry–Perrot cavities with a width of 9.3 μm are formed in these single crystals, which determine the interference structure of the impurity PL band. At 1.00–3.00 at. % Eu concentrations, the PL spectra of GaSe:Eu single crystals and β–Ga2O3:Eu nanowire/nanolamellae layers are determined by electronic transitions of Eu2+ and Eu3+ ions.
COPPER-RELATED DEFECTS IN ZnTe THIN FILMS GROWN BY THE CLOSE SPACE SUBLIMATION METHOD
(Academia de Ştiinţe a Moldovei, 2022) Lungu, Ion; Ghimpu, Lidia; Untila, Dumitru; Potlog, Tamara
Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) is used to study defects evolution via immersion technique and annealing in vacuum of ZnTe thin films. In this paper we studied how copper doping from solutions of different molar concentrations affects PL of ZnTe thin films grown by close space sublimation (CSS) method. Undoped ZnTe thin films showed PL emission in the (520-680) nm wavelength region. The incorporation of copper in ZnTe produce a number of broad emission bands that correspond to an electron transition from the conduction band to spin-orbit states of the localized level of Cu2+ ions. All the studied samples had variable concentrations of oxygen and the possibility of the formation of auxiliary oxides is discussed.

(2015) Dmitroglo, Liliana; Evtodiev, Igor; Caraman, Iuliana; Kantser, Valeriu; Untila, Dumitru; Stamate, Marius; Gasin, Petru
A material consisting of CdSe and GaSe crystallites with average dimensions of 34 nm and 30 nm respectively was obtained by heat treatment at 753K and 853K of GaSe single crystal plates in Cd vapors during 24 hours. As a result of Cd atoms interaction with Se atoms CdSe layers are formed both onto outer surface and at interface of layered Se-Ga-Ga-Se packages. CdSe crystallites on the surface grow in the form of plates along C6 crystallographic axis. Photoluminescence spectra of the composite, at 78K and 300K, contain predominant bands from the luminescent emission of GaSe and CdSe components.
CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE, SURFACE MORPHOLOGY AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF NANOLAMELLAR COMPOSITES OBTAINED BY INTERCALATION OF InSe WITH Cd
(2015) Untila, Dumitru; Caraman, Iuliana; Evtodiev, Igor; Canțer, Valeriu; Spalatu, Nicolae; Leontie, Liviu; Dmitroglo, Liliana; Luchian, Efimia
A material composed of InSe and CdSe crystallites was obtained by heat treatment at 753K of InSe single crystalline plates in Cd vapour for 3÷24 hours. The average diameters of CdSe and InSe crystallites determined from diffraction lines analysis are respectively equal to 20 nm and 22 nm. The photoluminescence spectra at 300K and 80K of composite decompose well into two Gaussian curves, one is in good correlation with the photoluminescence of CdSe crystals and the other is shifted to higher energies than the width of the band gap of CdSe crystals.
CRYSTALLINITY AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF β-Ga2O3/Ga2S3 LAYERED STRUCTURE OBTAINED BY THERMAL ANNEALING OF Ga2S3 SEMICONDUCTOR
(2021) Sprincean, Veaceslav; Lupan, Oleg; Caraman, Iuliana; Untila, Dumitru; Postica, Vasile; Cojocaru, Ala; Gapeeva, Anna; Palachi, Leonid; Adeling, Rainer; Tiginyanu, Ion; Caraman, Mihail
In this work, the β-Ga2O3 nanostructures were obtained by thermal annealing in air of β-Ga2S3 single crystals at relatively high temperatures of 970 K, 1070 K and 1170 K for 6 h. The structural, morphological, chemical and optical properties of β-Ga2O3–β-Ga2S3 layered composites grown at different temperatures were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) as well as photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the properties of obtained β-Ga2O3–β-Ga2S3 composites were strongly influenced by the thermal annealing tem- perature. The XRD and Raman analyses confirmed the high crystalline quality of the formed β-Ga2O3 nano- structures. The absorption edge of the oxide is due to direct optical transitions. The optical bandwidth was estimated to be approximately 4.34-4.41 eV, depending on the annealing temperature. Annealing of the β-Ga2S3 monocrystals at a higher temperature of 1170 K showed the complete conversion of the surface to β-Ga2O3. These results demonstrate the possibility to grow high quality β-Ga2O3–β-Ga2S3 layered composites and β-Ga2O3 nanostructures in large quantities for various applications such as gas sensing, non-toxic biomedical imaging, nonlinear optical, as well as power device applications. Micro and nanocrystallites present on the surface of the Ga2O3 layer contribute to a diffusion of the incident light which leads to an increase of the absorption rate allowing thus to reduce the thickness of the Ga2O3 layer, in which the generation of unbalanced charge carriers takes place. By decreasing the Ga2O3 layer thickness in such layered composites, the efficiency of photovoltaic cells based on such junctions can be increased.
FOTOLUMINESCENŢA IONILOR Eu 3+ ÎN STRUCTURI NANOLAMELARE DE GaSe INTERCALAT CU Cd
(Universitatea de Stat „Alecu Russo“ din Bălţi, 2015) Untila, Dumitru
În prezenta lucrare s-a studiat structura cristalină şi fotoluminescenţa (PL) la emperatura 78K a compozitului obţinut prin intercalarea lamelor monocristaline de GaSe:Eu, cu Cd din fază de vapori, la temperaturi de 753K. Compozitul studiat este alcătuit din monocristalite de CdSe şi GaSe microstructurat, şi centre de Eu3+. Spectrul de PL al lamelor monocristaline de GaSe dopat cu Eu este compus din benzile de emisie a ionului în GaSe (tranziţiile 5D0→7F0,2,4, 5D1→7F2, 5D2→7F6), banda de emisie a excitonilor indirecţi în cristalitele GaSe şi banda de emisie a cristalitelor de CdSe din compozit.
GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Eu DOPED GaSe SINGLE CRYSTALS BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

GaSe single crystals doped with Eu (0.025, 0.05, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 at%) were grown by Bridgman method using Ga, Se and Eu elementary components. The crystalline structure and vibration modes of the GaSe: Eu crystals lattice were studied by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Eu atoms arranged in the van der Waals space of GaSe: Eu crystals form Eu-Se valence bonds and restructure hexagonal lattice of GaSe leading to EuGa2Se4 crystallites formation. Defects generated by EuGa2Se4 crystallites lead to broadening and shifting of single phonon peaks present in Raman spectra towards shorter wavenumbers, and at the same time, activate the longitudinal optical vibrations of EuSe sublattice.

(Technical University of Moldova, 2011-07-07) Dmitroglo, Liliana; Untila, Dumitru; Chetruș, Petru; Evtodiev, Igor; Caraman, Iuliana; Lazăr, Gabriel; Nedeff, Valentin
In the paper, optical and photoelectrical properties of GaSe and InSe single crystal films of 10-5÷10-7 m submicron thickness and of semiconductor-native oxide structures obtained by annealing at (450÷700)°C in a normal atmosphere, are studied. The absorption spectrum of InSe lamella as well as of GaSe lamella in the energetic range from the red threshold up to 4,5 eV contains three bands with a rapid increase of the absorption coefficient which varies in the limits of (100÷106) cm-1 At the energies higher than 1,25 eV and 2,01 eV for InSe and GaSe respectively the light absorption are determined by the direct optical transitions in the centre of the Brillouin zone and at the energies higher than. At the absorption coefficients of (100÷102)cm-1 the indirect optic transitions are present. 3,0 eV also by the direct optical transitions in the points of the bands high symmetry. The resistive photosensitivity bands cover the spectral range Eg≤ hν ≤ 4,5 eV for lamellar photoresistors in which electric field EC6. The resistive photosensitivity band width could be controlled by the lamella thickness for d ≥1μm. The open circuit voltage spectral distribution is analysed from which results that at the oxidation temperature of 700°C in GaSe layer at the heterojunction interface the defects are formed on which the charge carriers, collected in the junction, are dissipated. The noneequilibrium charge carrier free path is of 0,8 μm.

(John Wiley & Sons, 2018) Untila, Dumitru; Evtodiev, Igor; Caraman, Iuliana; Spalatu, Nicolae; Dmitroglo, Liliana; Caraman, Mihail
The structural, optical and photoelectric properties of InSe crystals grown by Bridgman–Stockbarger method and ZnSe/InSe structures obtained on InSe by thermal annealing in Zn vapours are studied in this paper. The study of structural properties confirms that ZnSe compound is formed. The analysis of photoelectric properties reveal that both the ZnSe‐InSe composite layer and the composite/InSe heterojunction are photosensitive in the VIS‐NIR spectral region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OPTICAL AND PHOTOSENSITIVE PROPERTIES OF FLEXIBLE n (p)–InSe/In2O3 HETEROJUNCTIONS
(2022) Sprincean, Veaceslav; Leontie, Liviu; Caraman, Iuliana; Untila, Dumitru; Girtan, Mihaela; Gurlui, Silviu; Lisnic, Petru; Doroftei, Corneliu; Cârlescu, Aurelian; Iaconi, Felicia; Caraman, Mihail
In this work, optical, including photoluminescence and photosensitivity, characteristics of micrometer-sized flexible n (p)–InSe/In2O3 heterojunctions, obtained by heat treatment of single- crystalline InSe plates doped with (0.5 at.%) Cd (Sn), in a water-vapor- and oxygen-enriched at- mosphere, are investigated. The Raman spectrum of In2O3 layers on an InSe:Sn substrate, in the wavelength range of 105–700 cm−1, contains the vibration band characteristic of the cubic (bcc-In2O3) phase. As revealed by EDX spectra, the In2O3 layer, ~2 μm thick, formed on InSe:Cd contains an ~18% excess of atomic oxygen. The absorption edge of InSe:Sn (Cd)/In2O3 structures was stud- ied by ultraviolet reflectance spectroscopy and found to be 3.57 eV and ~3.67 eV for InSe:Cd and InSe:Sn substrates, respectively. By photoluminescence analysis, the influence of doping impuri- ties on the emission bands of In2O3:Sn (Cd) was revealed and the energies of dopant-induced and oxygen-induced levels created by diffusion into the InSe layer from the InSe/In2O3 interface were determined. The n (p)–InSe/In2O3 structures display a significantly wide spectral range of photosen- sitivity (1.2–4.0 eV), from ultraviolet to near infrared. The influence of Cd and Sn concentrations on the photosensitivity and recombination of nonequilibrium charge carriers in n (p)–InSe layers from the heterojunction interface was also studied. The as-obtained nanosized InSe/In2O3 structures are suitable for optoelectronic applications.
OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF ZnO THIN FILMS OBTAINED BY HEAT TREATMENT OF Zn THIN FILMS ON AMORPHOUS SiO2 SUBSTRATES AND SINGLE CRYSTALLINE GASE LAMELLAS
(Elsevier, 2016) Dmitroglo, Liliana; Evtodiev, Igor; Untila, Dumitru
Optical absorption and photoluminescence of polycrystalline ZnO films obtained by thermal oxidation of Zn thin films deposited on amorphous SiO 2 (quartz) and (0001) surface of single crystalline GaSe lamellas have been investigated. The absorption edge of submicrometric ZnO films on quartz is determined by direct transitions corresponding to an optical band gap of 3.88 eV, at 300 K. For ZnO films with thickness between 1.5 and 10 μm, the absorption threshold is of excitonic nature. Photoluminescence of polycrystalline ZnO films on amorphous quartz reaches its maximum in the orange spectral range, while that of ZnO films on oriented single crystalline GaSe substrate covers the entire visible range.

(2016) Caraman, Iuliana; Spalatu, Nicolae; Evtodiev, Igor; Untila, Dumitru; Leontie, Liviu; Caraman, Mihail
A GaTe–CdTe composite was obtained by thermal treatment at 1020 K of GaTe single crystals in Cd vapor atmosphere. The composite photoluminescence, photoconductivity, and com- position are studied in this work. The photosensitivity and photoluminescence band structure are determined for both the primary crystals and the composite. The CdTe crystallites create, in the GaTe bandgap, recombination and trapping levels, which determine the structure of the photoluminescence spectra and the spectral range of composite photosensitivity. The photoluminescence spectrum of the composite at 80 K contains characteristic bands of both composite components, GaTe and CdTe. From the analysis of thermally stimulated luminescence curves, the energies of the electron trapping levels in the composite are determined.

(2016) Evtodiev, Igor; Caraman, Iuliana; Kantser, Valeriu; Untila, Dumitru; Rotaru, Irina; Dmitroglo, Liliana; Evtodiev, Silvia; Caraman, Mihail
The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaS, GaSe, GaTe and InSe semiconductors used as the basis materials to obtain nanocomposite by heat treatment in Zn and Cd vapor were studied. The PL spectra of ZnS–GaS, CdSe– GaSe, CdSe–InSe, ZnSe–InSe composites consist of wide bands covering a wide range of wavelengths in the antistokes region for CdSe, ZnSe and GaS crystallites from composites. The antistokes branches of spectra are interpreted as the shift of PL bands to high energies for nanosized crystallites.

In this work surface morphology, composition and photo- luminescence at 293 K and 78 K, of composite obtained by intercalation of GaSe and GaSe:Eu (0.49 at.% and 1.00 at.%) single crystal lamellas with Cd from vapor phase at 753 K and 830 K are investigated. As-obtained composite consists of CdSe and microstructured GaSe single crystallites. Photoluminescence spectrum of GaSe:Eu single crystal lamellas is composed of Eu3+ emission band 5 7 5 7 0 1 0 2( ,D F D FÆ Æ , and 5 7 1 3D FÆ transitions) and indirect exciton line in GaSe crystallites. Emission spectrum of single crystalline GaSe−CdSe composite, at 78 K and 293 K, consists of donor-acceptor band in GaSe microcrystallites and emission band of CdSe crystallites. Composite derived from the intercala- tion of GaSe:Eu (0.49 at.%) single crystals with Cd ex- hibits strong visible luminescence. Its quasi-continuous photoluminescence spectrum is produced by superposi- tion of luminescent emissions of CdSe nano- and mi- croparticles, and microstructured GaSe.
