Electron and hole charge and discharge dynamics are studied on plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition grown metal-oxide-silicon germanium nanocrystal flash memory devices. Electron and hole charge and discharge currents are observed to differ significantly and depend on annealing conditions chosen for the formation of nanocrystals. At low annealing temperatures, holes are seen to charge slower but to escape faster than electrons. They discharge slower than electrons when annealing temperatures are raised. The results suggest that discharge currents are dominated by the interface layer acting as a quantum well for holes and by direct tunneling for elec-trons. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

Thin-film transistors based on poly, (3,3 '''-dialkyl-quarterthiophene) and zinc oxide nanowires with improved ambient stability Vieira, Sara M. C.; Hsieh, Gen-Wen; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Dag, Sefa; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J.; Milne, William I. (AIP Publishing, 2011-03-07) The ambient stability of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires embedded in poly (3,3'''-dialkyl-quarterthiophene) was monitored through time dependence of electrical characteristics over a period of 16 months. The hybrid-based TFT showed an initial hole mobility in the linear regime of 4.2 x 10(-4) cm(2)/V s. After 16 months storage in ambient conditions (exposed to air, moisture, and light) the mobility decreased to 2.3 x 10(-5) cm(2)/V s. Comparatively the organic-based TFT lost...
Zinc oxide nanowire networks for macroelectronic devices Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Hiralal, Pritesh; Dalal, Sharvari; Chu, Daping; Eda, Goki; Teo, K. B. K.; Chhowalla, Manish; Milne, William I.; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J. (AIP Publishing, 2009-04-20) Highly transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire networks have been used as the active material in thin film transistors (TFTs) and complementary inverter devices. A systematic study on a range of networks of variable density and TFT channel length was performed. ZnO nanowire networks provide a less lithographically intense alternative to individual nanowire devices, are always semiconducting, and yield significantly higher mobilites than those achieved from currently used amorphous Si and organic TFTs. These r...
GROWTH OF IN1-XTLXSB A NEW INFRARED MATERIAL, BY LOW-PRESSURE METALORGANIC CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION CHOI, YH; Beşikci, Cengiz; SUDHARSANAN, R; RAZEGHI, M (AIP Publishing, 1993-07-19) We report the growth of In1-xTlxSb, a new III-V alloy for long-wavelength infrared detector applications, by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. In1-xTlxSb with good surface morphology was obtained on both GaAs and InSb substrates at a growth temperature of 455-degrees-C. X-ray diffraction measurements showed resolved peaks of In1-xTlxSb and InSb films. Infrared absorption spectrum of In1-xTlxSb showed a shift toward lower energies compared to InSb spectrum. Hall mobility data on In1-xTlxSb...
Photoelectrochemical cell using dye sensitized zinc oxide nanowires grown on carbon fibers Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Suzuki, Kenichi; Dalal, Sharvari; Hiralal, Pritesh; Matsumoto, Hidetoshi; Imaizumi, Shinji; Minagawa, Mie; Tanioka, Akihiko; Flewitt, Andrew J.; Milne, William I.; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J. (AIP Publishing, 2008-09-29) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) grown on carbon fibers using a vapor transport and condensation approach are used as the cathode of a photoelectrochemical cell. The carbon fibers were obtained by electrospray deposition and take the form of a flexible carbon fabric. The ZnO NW on carbon fiber anode is combined with a "black dye" photoabsorber, an electrolyte, and a platinum (Pt) counterelectrode to complete the cell. The results show that ZnO NW and carbon fibers can be used for photoinduced charge separat...
Growth of thick (11(2)over-bar0) GaN using a metal interlayer Tavernier, PR; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; DenBaars, SP; Clarke, DR (AIP Publishing, 2004-11-15) Thick films of (11 (2) over bar0)-oriented GaN have been grown on Ti-coated metal organic chemical vapor deposition templates using hydride vapor phase epitaxy. Significant reductions in crack density were observed enabling 240 mum thick films to be grown on sapphire. The use of Ti interlayers was shown to generate significant fractions of voids at the interlayer regrowth interface facilitating void-assisted separation on cooling. Ti metal layers annealed under optimal conditions were found to produce a TiN...
