Modeling Charge Diffusion From Proton-Induced Ionization Tracks In Silicon Photodiode Arrays, Lee Cole Smith
Modeling Charge Diffusion From Proton-Induced Ionization Tracks In Silicon Photodiode Arrays, Lee Cole Smith
Physics Theses & Dissertations
We are modeling the combined problem of generation and collection of charge carriers created during passage of energetic protons through a silicon photodiode array. We have also experimentally obtained pulse-height distributions of noise charge collected during exposure of a Digicon-type diode array to 21 and 75 MeV protons. It is shown that the magnitude of charge collected by a diode from each proton event is determined not only by diffusion, but by statistical considerations involving the ionization process itself. Utilizing analytical solutions to the diffusion equation for transport of minority carriers, together with the Vavilov-Landau theory of energy-loss fluctuations in …
Absorption Coefficients Of Ozone At Low Temperature In The Visible Region, Hessameddin Ghiassi
Absorption Coefficients Of Ozone At Low Temperature In The Visible Region, Hessameddin Ghiassi
Physics Theses & Dissertations
The temperature dependence of absorption coefficients of ozone was studied between 7567 Å and 4630 Å . When the gas was cooled from room temperature to -108° C, an overall increase in the absorption coefficients was noticed. The maximum increase of 5% occurred at λ = 6020 Å. In general, the absorption is linearly dependent on temperature.
