Influence Of The Nitrogen Concentration On The Electrical Characteristic Of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Nitride (A-Sin_X:H) Based Schottky Diodes, İlker Ay, Hüseyi̇n Tolunay
Turkish Journal of Physics
In this study, the Schottky diode characteristic of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN_x:H) samples containing various amounts of nitrogen have been investigated via both I-V and C-V measurements. From forward bias I-V measurements in the dark, the barrier height of samples (\phi_{B0}), ideality factor (\eta ), modified Richardson constant (A^\ast) and series resistances (R_s) have been obtained as the function of temperature for different nitrogen content. In addition, forward and reverse bias current ratios (I_f/I_r) at V~=~1 volt have been investigated as the function of temperature for different nitrogen content. Light sensitivity of the samples has also been investigated under …

Turkish Journal of Physics
We present a p-i-n structured solar cell with stacked layers of In_xGa_{1-x}N Quantum Dots (QDs) with different indium composition. The photocurrent and surface recombination processes are investigated in the i-region. We have shown that the QDs in the i-region can play the role of both generation or recombination centers. The photocurrent has been calculated by self-consistent method to solve continuity equation of charge carriers in the layers of the i-region. By changing the Indium composition in In_xGa_{1-x}N QDs, the band gap of QDs varies and therefore provides a considerable overlapping with solar spectrum. Proposed SC with different-sized QDs and different …

Structure And Optical Properties Of Cuals_2 Thin Films Prepared Via Chemical Bath Deposition, Tariq Alwan, Mushtak Jabbar
Turkish Journal of Physics
CuAlS_2 thin films of thicknesses 118 \pm 5 nm were deposited on glass substrates using chemical bath deposition technique. The details of the preparation method are well described. The method is relatively simple and is easily controlled and sufficient to produce large area and good adherence to the substrate films. Effect of annealing temperature T_a on the structure, and optical properties of CuAlS_2 films were investigated. The structures of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectrophotometer. The optical properties of the films were ascertained by UV-VIS spectrophotometer (wavelengths ranging between 300 and 900 nm). The optical transmittance …

A Study Of The Growth And Structure Of Chromium And Iron Oxide Films On Pd(001) Using X-Ray Photoelectron Diffraction And Low Energy Electron Diffraction, Tina Dhekial-Phukan
Doctoral Dissertations
"In this study, attempts were made to grow well-ordered chromium- and iron-oxide films on a Pd(001) surface, and two sample preparation techniques, the multilayer and the sequential growth techniques, were used to grow these transition metal oxide films. The study is a part of a larger project that aims to look into the interaction between metal substrates and the overlayers grown on them. Previous studies of oxide films on Ag(001) resulted in the growth of 4-fold and 3-fold symmetry oxide structures from the multilayer and sequential growth techniques respectively. The present investigation's goal was to study how the growth of …

Three-Body Dynamics In Single Ionization Of Atomic Hydrogen By 75 Kev Proton Impact, Aaron C. Laforge
Doctoral Dissertations
"Doubly differential cross sections (DDCS) for single ionization of atomic hydrogen by 75 keV proton impact have been measured as a function of the projectile scattering angle and energy loss. This pure three-body collision system represents a fundamental test case for the study of the reaction dynamics in few-body systems. A comparison between theory and experiment reveals that three-body dynamics is important at all scattering angles, and that an accurate description of the role of the projectile-target nucleus interaction as well as the second order projectile-electron interaction remains a major challenge to theory. However, progress is being made in understanding …

Quantum 1/F Noise In Infrared Detectors And Scanning Tunneling Microscopes, Amanda Marie Truong
Doctoral Dissertations
"Noise is, by definition, any random and persistent disturbance, which interferes with the clarity of a signal. Modern electronic devices are designed to limit noise, and in most cases the classical forms of noise have been eliminated or greatly reduced through careful design. However, there is a fundamental, quite unavoidable type of noise, called quantum 1/f noise, which occurs at low frequencies and is a fundamental consequence of the discrete nature of the charge carriers themselves. This quantum 1/f noise is present in any physical cross section or process rate, such as carrier mobility, diffusion rates and scattering processes. Although …

Weak Shear Study Of Galaxy Clusters By Simulated Gravitational Lensing, David Coss
Doctoral Dissertations
"Gravitational lensing has been simulated for numerical galaxy clusters in order to characterize the effects of substructure and shape variations of dark matter halos on the weak lensing properties of clusters. In order to analyze realistic galaxy clusters, 6 high-resolution Adaptive Refinement Tree N-body simulations of clusters with hydrodynamics are used, in addition to a simulation of one group undergoing a merger. For each cluster, the three-dimensional particle distribution is projected perpendicular to three orthogonal lines of sight, providing 21 projected mass density maps. The clusters have representative concentration and mass values for clusters in the concordance cosmology. Two gravitational …

Quantum mechanics allows one to independently select both the initial and final states of a single system. Such pre- and postselection reveals novel effects that challenge our ideas about what time is and how it flows.

The production of charm and beauty quarks in ep interactions has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA for squared four-momentum exchange Q2>20 GeV2, using an integrated luminosity of 126 pb-1. Charm and beauty quarks were identified through their decays into muons. Differential cross sections were measured for muon transverse momenta pTμ> 1.5 GeV and pseudorapidities -1. 62. 3, as a function of pTμ>, ημ, Q2and Bjorken x. The charm and beauty contributions to the proton structure function F2were also extracted. The results agree with previous measurements based on independent techniques and are well described by QCD …

The proton-dissociative diffractive photoproduction of J/ψ mesons has been studied in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 112 pb-1. The cross section is presented as a function of the photon-proton centre-ofmass energy and of the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The results are compared to perturbative QCD calculations.
