Structural, Electrical And Optical Properties Of Copper Oxide Phase Mixture: An Active Layer Of Solar Cell, Rifat Ara Shams Jan 2022

Structural, Electrical And Optical Properties Of Copper Oxide Phase Mixture: An Active Layer Of Solar Cell, Rifat Ara Shams

MSU Graduate Theses

Both CuO and Cu2O have been well studied and implemented individually as an active layer of a solar cell from early age of manufacturing. A mixture of these two-phase contents at different ratios can bring variance in absorbance which can present new and diverse aspect in solar cell fabrication with added efficiency. Previous works were successful to vary the phase mixture, and the nanostructures provided very high absorption co-efficient but poor optical response on electrical conductivity. The goal of this research is to find out the optimum parameter for the phase mixture of copper oxide with high absorption coefficient as …


The Jahn–Teller Effect And Electron–Phonon Interaction In La0.25ca0.75mn1−Xcrxo3, H. Zhou, G. Li, H. Chen, R. Zheng, Xiaojuan Fan, X. Li Jun 2014

The Jahn–Teller Effect And Electron–Phonon Interaction In La0.25ca0.75mn1−Xcrxo3, H. Zhou, G. Li, H. Chen, R. Zheng, Xiaojuan Fan, X. Li

Xiaojuan Fan

The ultrasonic (longitudinal and transverse) velocities and the transport and magnetic properties of polycrystalline La0.25Ca0.75Mn1-xCrxO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07) have been studied systematically. It was found that with increasing Cr content, the resistivity increases, the charge-ordering transition temperature TCO shifts to low temperature, and the magnetic moment of the system is strengthened. From the temperature dependence of the ultrasonic velocities, one can establish that the Jahn-Teller energy and phonon exchange constant decrease with increasing Cr content.


Investigating Fault Structure Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography, Sara Michelle Monahan Nov 2013

Investigating Fault Structure Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography, Sara Michelle Monahan

Physics

The resolving power of two-dimensional Direct Current (DC) Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is investigated in the context of shallow faults. Subsurface electrical resistivity data was collected perpendicular to a secondary fault scarp of the Los Osos Fault Zone with a Syscal KID Switch 24 resistivity meter and processed with Prosys II and Res2DInv software to produce two-dimensional cross sections of resistivity values via a smoothness-constrained least-squares optimization method. Comparison of ERT inversion results to a trench wall map of the same fault scarp suggest the location and dip direction of faults is resolvable, while detailed fault structure, such as dip …


Hand Held Probe For Use In Electrical Sensing Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst Apr 1974

Hand Held Probe For Use In Electrical Sensing Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Patents

A probe with a puncturing, electrically conducting needle is constructed to enable the user, whether right or left handed, to position the needle rapidly and accurately at a selected coordinate of a sensor package.


Electrical Sensor Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst, James E. Parks May 1972

Electrical Sensor Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst, James E. Parks

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Patents

An inexpensive electrical sensor of plane coordinates employs juxtaposed sheets of conducting material having electrical equipotential lines extending across each sheet and arranged normal to each other. A probe upon touching each sheet at a selected intersection of the equipotential lines causes separate signals to be applied to one or more conventional information-indicating units.
