Hydrogen Implantation Effects On The Electrical And Optical Properties Of Inse Thin Films, Atef Fayez Qasrawi, Khaled Faisal Ilaiwi, Antonio Polimeni Jan 2012

Hydrogen Implantation Effects On The Electrical And Optical Properties Of Inse Thin Films, Atef Fayez Qasrawi, Khaled Faisal Ilaiwi, Antonio Polimeni

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effects of hydrogen ion implantation on the structural, electrical and optical properties of amorphous InSe thin films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed no change in the structure of the films. An implantation of 7.3 x 10^{18} ions/cm^2 decreased the electrical conductivity by three orders of magnitude at 300 K. Similarly, the conductivity activation energy, which was calculated in the temperature range of 300-420 K, decreased from 210 to 78 meV by H-ion implantation. The optical measurements showed that the direct allowed transitions energy band gap of amorphous InSe films has decreased from 1.50 to 0.97 eV by …

Effect Of Zinc Incorporation On The Density Of Defect States In A-Se_{85}Te_{15} Glassy Alloy, Shikha Shukla, Santosh Kumar

Turkish Journal of Physics

Present work incorporates the study of d.c. conductivity measurements at high electric fields in vacuum evaporated thin films of Se_{85-x}Te_{15}Zn_x (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 10) glassy alloys. Current-Voltage (I-V) characteristics have been measured at various fixed temperatures. In these samples, at low electric fields, ohmic behavior is observed. However, at high electric fields (E \sim 10^4 V/cm), non ohmic behavior is observed. An analysis of the experimental data confirms the presence of space charge limited conduction (SCLC) in the glassy materials studied in the present case. From the fitting of the data to the theory of SCLC, …

Synthesis Of Barium Oxide Nanorod By Chemical Bath Deposition, Gopalakrishnan Suresh, Putta Narasimhan Nirmala

Turkish Journal of Physics

We report on the control of nanocrystal sizes in barium oxide nanorods prepared by chemical bath deposition technique. Barium chloride and potassium hydroxide are used as source materials to obtain barium oxide films. Different chemical baths are used to study changes in the structures of the BaO films The effect of hydrazine hydrate on growth of these films has been studied. The results reveal that the additive played a very important role on crystalline size and shape.


The Composition Dependence Of The Optical Band Gap In Ge Doped Se-Te Glassy Alloy, Mainika Kapoor, Nagesh Thakur Jan 2012

The Composition Dependence Of The Optical Band Gap In Ge Doped Se-Te Glassy Alloy, Mainika Kapoor, Nagesh Thakur

Turkish Journal of Physics

Bulk glasses with the chemical composition (Se_{80}Te_{20})_{100-x}Ge_x (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) have been prepared from high purity constituent elements. Fragments of the bulk glasses are used to deposit thin films by vacuum thermal evaporation and compositional dependence of the optical and physical properties have been studied. It has been found that optical absorption is due to indirect transition and the optical band gap E_g increases with increasing Ge content in Se-Te glassy alloy. The relationship between the E_g and chemical composition is discussed in terms of cohesive energy and co-ordination number.
