Electrical Conductivity & Seebeck Effect In Activated Molybdenum Oxide Hydrogen Detectors, John Hooker Jun 1969

Electrical Conductivity & Seebeck Effect In Activated Molybdenum Oxide Hydrogen Detectors, John Hooker

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This thesis describes the results and analysis of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity measurements on "activated", molybdenum-oxide, thin film hydrogensensing elements. The work was undertaken in an effort to produce data that would be useful in obtaining an understanding of the electronic processes which cause large electrical conductivity changes in molybdenum-oxide upon exposure to small concentrations of hydrogen in air. The results are analyzed using a simple band model of a semiconductor. This model is shown to give reasonable results at high temperatures; however, a departure from the usual .! model is required in order to explain the results at …


A Nonsecond Time-Of-Flight Spectometer, David Moorman Jun 1969

A Nonsecond Time-Of-Flight Spectometer, David Moorman

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this thesis was to construct a time-of-flight spectrometer using plastic scintillators coupled to photomultiplier tubes as the primary detectors. A time-of-flight spectrometer with at least 2.0 nanoseconds of time resolution was desired.
