    COMPOSITION AND SURFACE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF GASE:EU CRYSTALS BEFORE AND AFTER HEAT TREATMENT
    (2024) Sprincean, Veaceslav; Haoyi, Qiu; Tjardts, Tim; Lupan, Oleg; Untila, Dumitru; Aktas, Oral Cenk; Adelung, Rainer; Leontie, Liviu; Cârlescu, Aurelian; Gurlui, Silviu; Caraman, Mihail
    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.

    PREPARATION, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF (β–Ga2O3 COMPOSITE THIN FILMS)/(GaSxSe1−x LAMELLAR SOLID SOLUTIONS) NANOSTRUCTURES
    (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
    (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
    (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]

    STUDY OF RECOMBINATION MECHANISMS IN CRYSTALS GaSe DOPED WITH Cu, Cd AND Sn
    (2005) Evtodiev, Igor; Cuculescu, Elvira; Rusu, Marin; Caraman, Mihail
    The stratified crystals of GaSe type serve as the basic element in different optoelectronic devices such as the micro lasers (the excitation with the electron beam), optoelectronic modulators for a large domain of wavelengths [1]. In order to enlarge the domain of application of gallium monoselenium and of analogical compounds by the structure and physical mechanical properties (GaS and InSe) it is necessary to increase the variety of characteristic physical properties of these compounds. The studies of optical properties and photoelect rical ones of the crystals GaS, GaSe and InSe pure nondoped prove that on their base the optoelectronic devices can be elaborated for the visible range and the near IR. In order to reach the conquerable parameters with the existent elaborations (on the base of semiconductors AIIBVI, AIIIBVI) it is neessary to vary controllably with the diagram of localized states in the forbidden band of these crystals. It is known [2] that the impurity atoms in the crystals of GaSe type, after the liquidation of structural defects in the sub grid of the metal from the interior of stratified packages Hal-M-M-Hal are localized in the space among the planes of the neighbor packages contributing so to the increasing of cohesion force among packages. These atoms will be situated on the surface of cleaving on the direction perpendicular to C contri buting so to the formation of the ionized surface states. The physical properties of the extra fine monocrystalline films are modified by the surface states in which the characteristic properties of the structures with the reduced sizes are manifested.
