    Preparation, chemical composition, and optical properties of (β–Ga2O3 composite thin films)/(GaSxSe1−x lamellar solid solutions) nanostructures [Articol]
    (2023) Sprincean, Veaceslav; Leontie, Liviu; Caraman, Iuliana; Lupan, Oleg; Adeling, Rainer; Gurlui, Silviu; Cârlescu, Aurelian; Doroftei, Corneliu; Caraman, Mihail
    GaSxSe1−x solid solutions are layered semiconductors with a band gap between 2.0 and 2.6 eV. Their single crystals are formed by planar packings of S/Se-Ga-Ga-S/Se type, with weak polarization bonds between them, which allows obtaining, by splitting, plan-parallel lamellae with atomically smooth surfaces. By heat treatment in a normal or water vapor-enriched atmosphere, their plates are covered with a layer consisting of β–Ga2O3 nanowires/nanoribbons. In this work, the elemental and chemical composition, surface morphology, as well as optical, photoluminescent, and photoelectric properties of β–Ga2O3 layer formed on GaSxSe1−x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions (as substrate) are studied. The correlation is made between the composition (x) of the primary material, technological preparation conditions of the oxide-semiconducting layer, and the optical, photoelectric, and photoluminescent properties of β–Ga2O3 (nanosized layers)/GaSxSe1−x structures. From the analysis of the fundamental absorption edge, photoluminescence, and photoconductivity, the character of the optical transitions and the optical band gap in the range of 4.5–4.8 eV were determined, as well as the mechanisms behind blue-green photoluminescence and photoconduc- tivity in the fundamental absorption band region. The photoluminescence bands in the blue-green region are characteristic of β–Ga2O3 nanowires/nanolamellae structures. The photoconductivity of β–Ga2O3 structures on GaSxSe1−x solid solution substrate is determined by their strong fundamental absorption. As synthesized structures hold promise for potential applications in UV receivers, UV-C sources, gas sensors, as well as photocatalytic decomposition of water and organic pollutants.

    Synthesis and optical properties of Ga2O3 nanowires grown on GaS substrate [Articol]
    (Elsevier, 2019) Leontie, L.; Sprincean, Veaceslav; Spaltu, N.; Cojocaru, A.; Susu, Ana; Lupan, Oleg; Vatavu, Elmira; Carlescu, Aurelian; Untila, Dumitru; Caraman, Iuliana; Evtodiev, Igor; Tiginyanu, Ion; Caraman, Mihail
    Gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) nanowires were synthesized by heat treatment of single crystal β-GaS plates in air. Crystal structure and composition of synthesized materials were studied by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Thermal treatment of β-GaS plates at 1023 K leads to the formation of a Ga2O3 (native oxide) layer on β-GaS (0001) surface of plates. Layer thickness and size of Ga2O3 wires contained were found to depend on temperature and duration of applied heat treatment. For 1023 K and 6 h, the length of Ga2O3 wires laid in the range from units to tens of nanometers, while for 1123 K and 30 min, between 30 and 40 μm.

    Optical and Photoelectric Properties of Nanolamellar Structures Obtained by Thermal Annealing of InSe Plates in Zn Vapours [Articol]
    (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]
