In this study, thickness-dependent current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics obtained for poly{(9,9-dioctylfluorene) 22,7-diyl-(4,7-bis (thien-2-yl)2-dodecyl-benzo[1,2,3] triazole)} (PFTBT) conjugated copolymer based heterojunction diode fabricated on ITO were investigated in terms of electrical characteristics. In order to analyze J-V plots with ITO/PEDOT: PSS/PFTBT: PC61BM/LiF/Al configuration, the thickness-dependent J-V measurements were applied in the thickness range between 90 and 200 nm. The effect of PFTBT: PC61BM layer thickness on the forward J-V characteristics were investigated by evaluating electrical parameters such as zero bias barrier height (phi(Bo)), ideality factor (n), shunt resistance (R-sh), series resistance (R-s), the interface states density (Nss), and space-charge limited mobility. The results show that at PFTBT: PC61BM layer thickness of 90 and 200 nm, ideality factor for ITO/PEDOT: PSS/PFTBT: PC61BM/LiF/Al heterojunction diodes ranged from 2.726 to 3.121 and the thermionic emission over the heterojunction diodes is crucial at low current densities and the intrinsic thermally generated charge carriers controlled the forward current this region of the heterojunction diode. At relatively higher voltage, the current mechanism of ITO/PFTBT: PC61BM/ PEDOT: PSS/ LiF/ Al heterojunction diodes were found to obey a space charge limited (SCLC) conduction mechanism. The values of Nss and Rs in heterojunction diodes increase with increasing PFTBT: PC61BM layer thickness and effect the main electrical parameters of diodes. In addition, the leakage current of heterojunction diodes are taken and interpreted via Poole- Frenkel emission and Schottky emission. The leakage current was controlled in ITO/ PEDOT: PSS/ PFTBT: PC61BM/ LiF/ Al heterojunction diodes by Poole- Frenkel emission above 140 nm and by Schottky emission under 140 nm.

Effect of electrolyte/sulfur ratio in the cathode on the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries Emerce, Nur Ber; Külah, Görkem; Eroğlu Pala, Damla; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) In this study, the effect of electrolyte to sulfur (E/S) ratio in the cathode, which is an important cell design parameter, on the electrochemical and cell- and system-level performance of a Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery is investigated through modeling efforts. First, a 1-D electrochemical model is developed for an isothermal, constant-current discharge of a Li-S cell to predict the voltage at 60% discharge depth. In the model, cathode exchange current density is defined as a linear function of the electro...
Effect of amorphous SiC layer on electrical and optical properties of Al/a-SiC/c-Si Schottky diode for optoelectronic applications Barbouche, M.; Benabderrahmane Zaghouani, R.; Ben Ammar, N.E.; Aglieri, V.; Nasser, H.; Turan, Raşit; Ezzaouia, H. (2021-01-01) In this work, we report on the study of the electrical and optical properties of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC)-based Schottky diodes for optoelectronic applications. A significant decrease of reflectivity and an enhancement of the passivating properties of more than 97% were reached after a-SiC layer deposition on silicon substrate. The deposited a-SiC film exhibits a dielectric constant of 2.143. Temperature effect on Schottky diode performances was carried out through the analysis of the current–volta...
Influence of layer on the electrical properties of Au/n-4H SiC diodes Yigiterol, Fatih; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; YILDIZ, DİLBER ESRA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01) In this study, the effect of insulator layer on the electrical characteristics of Au/n-4H SiC diode was investigated. The current-voltage (), capacitance-voltage () and conductance-voltage () measurements were carried out at room temperature condition. Under thermionic emission model, electrical parameters as zero-bias barrier height (), ideality factor (n), interface states (), and series () and shunt () resistances were estimated from forward bias analyses. The values of n and were about 1.305 and 0.796 e...
Effect of heat treatment on microstructural and mechanical properties of molybdenum based PM ferrous alloys Davoudnezhad, Ramona; Ögel, Bilgehan; Durlu, Nuri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) In this study, the effect of different heat treatment processes on microstructural and mechanical properties of Distaloy-DH and Astaloy Mo (Fe-2Cu-1.5Mo) powders are investigated. Powder samples are sintered at 1120°C for 45 minutes in a sintering furnace under reducing atmosphere of: 10% H2 + 90% N2. After sintering, secondary heat treatments are performed on samples. Microstructural characterization of samples is done with optical and electron microscopy. Selective etching is utilized for determining the ...
Effects of Substrate Parameters on the Resonance Frequency of Double-sided SRR Structures under Two Different Excitations Ekmekci, E.; Averitt, R. D.; Sayan, Gönül (2010-07-08) In this study, we numerically investigate the effects of substrate parameters (i.e., the thickness and the permittivity) on the resonance frequency of the double-sided SRR (DSRR) structure under two different excitation conditions. This includes either electric or magnetic excitations which are two common techniques to obtain a resonant effective permittivity or permeability, respectively. The numerical calculations are performed using CST Microwave Studio. The numerical results reveal a similar trend in th...
