    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.

    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.

    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.

    STRUCTURI NANOLAMELARE SEMICONDUCTOR GaSe:Cd – OXID PROPRIU CA ADSORBANT SELECTIV DE GAZE
    (CEP USM, 2012) Dmitroglo, Liliana; Evtodiev, Igor; Caraman, Iuliana; Lazar, Gheorghe
    Din monocristale ε-GaSe crescute prin metoda Bridgman au fost obţinute lame cu grosimi de 10÷300 μm cu axa C6 orientată perpendicular pe suprafaţa (001). Prin tratament la temperatura de 450÷580°C suprafeţele lamelor au fost acoperite cu oxid propriu (Ga2O3) nanostructurat. Absorbţia moleculelor polare din atmosferă (H2O, CO, CON) s-a studiat prin metoda spectroscopiei IR absorbţionale. Au fost determinate benzile de absorbţie ale acestor molecule şi dependenţa transmitanţei optice în funcţie de concentraţia moleculelor adsorbite.

    OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOUNDS WITH SUBMICRON POINTS OBTAINED THROUGH Ga2S3 INTERCALATION WITH Cd
    (Universitatea de Stat „Alecu Russo“ din Bălţi, 2012) Racoveț, O.; Evtodiev, I.; Caraman, Iu.; Rotaru, I.; Lazăr, G.
    Luminescence and optical absorption spectra of Ga2S3 single crystals were investigated at temperatures of 78 K and 293 K. Optical band gap is equal to 3.27 eV and 3.457 eV at 293 K and 78 K respectively. Luminescence spectrum of single crystal lamellas at temperature of 78K consists of three bands with peaks at 2.04 eV, 1.84 eV and 1.66 eV.Native structural defects form deep recombination and electronic capture levels localized within the Ga2S3 band gap.
