We have investigated phase stability in the layered Li(x)CoO(2) intercalation compound for x < 0.4 from first principles. By combining a lattice model description of the Li-vacancy configurational degrees of freedom with first-principles pseudopotential calculations, we have calculated the free energy of the material as a function of Li concentration in three different host structures: (i) the rhombohedral form of Li(x)CoO(2), (ii) the hexagonal form of CoO(2), and (iii) a stage II compound of Li(x)CoO(2) in which the host structure can be considered as a hybrid of the rhombohedral and hexagonal host structures. The first-principles free energies indicate that the stage II compound is the most stable of the three phases for Li concentrations ranging between 0.12 and 0.19. This result is consistent with the experimental observation by Ohzuku and Ueda(1) and Amatucci et al.(2) that the rhombohedral form of Li(x)CoO(2) transforms to a new phase at Li concentrations around x = 0.15. We find that the calculated X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the stage II structure agree qualitatively with those observed experimentally at low Li concentration.(1,2)

A comprehensive approach for the instability of PbTe quantum dots and design of a combinatorial passivation strategy Hacıefendioğlu, Tuğba; Solmaz, Taha K.; Erkan, Merve; Asil Alptekin, Demet (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) Limited air stability circumvents the outstanding properties of the PbTe quantum dots (QDs) and hinders its utilization in the field of optoelectronics. In this respect, we present a detailed understanding on the instability of the PbTe QDs and develop a combinatorial passivation protocol based on engineering the QD surface during the growth phase and solid state ligand exchange process. The dual passivation approach yields thin films and solar cells with outstanding stabilities under ambient conditions. Pr...
The investigation of quantum efficiency constituents of InAs/AlSb/GaSb based N structure type-II SL photodetectors with InAlAs interface KILIÇ, ALİ YAVUZ; TANSEL, TUNAY; HOŞTUT, MUSTAFA; ELAGÖZ, SEZAİ; ERGÜN, YÜKSEL (IOP Publishing, 2018-09-01) We report on the optical properties of InAs/AlSb/GaSb based Type-II superlattice N-structure with p on n configuration. The detector structure is designed to operate in the mid wavelength infrared range with 50% cut-off wavelength of 4.88 mu m at 79 K. Electronic properties of N-structure such as heavy hole-light hole splitting energies are optimized by a first principles approach taking into account InAlAs interface bonding between InAs/AlSb layers. A responsivity of 1.13 A/Wat 3.2 mu m was measured under ...
Characterization of Ag/TlInSe2/Ag structure QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2011-07-01) In this work, the current voltage characteristics of Ag/TlInSe2/Ag and In/TlInSe2/In structures, the incident light intensity and time dependencies of photocurrent as well as the response time-illumination intensity dependence of Ag/TlInSe2/Ag structures have been studied. For bias voltages larger than 1200. and 4.0 V, the current injection was found to be space charge limited and was assigned to the existing of deep and shallow hole traps being located at 210 and 16 meV for Ag and In-contacted samples, res...
On the application of hole-selective MoOx as full-area rear contact for industrial scale p-type c-Si solar cells Nasser, Hisham; Es, Fırat; Zolfaghari Borra, Mona; Semiz, Emel; Kokbudak, Gamze; Orhan, Efe; Turan, Raşit (Wiley, 2020-11-01) We present the feasibility of integrating substoichiometric molybdenum oxide (MoOx) as hole-selective rear contact into the production sequence of industrial scale p-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. Thin films of MoOx are deposited directly on p-type c-Si by thermal evaporation at room temperature. It is found that Ag/MoOx/p-type c-Si rear contact structure exhibits low contact resistivity and modest surface recombination current density. The attained peak efficiency (eta) of the fabricated sola...
Study on the long wavelength SiGe/Si heterojunction internal photoemission infrared photodetectors Aslan, B; Turan, Raşit; Liu, HC (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01) The theory of internal photoemission in semiconductor heterojunctions has been investigated and the existing model has been extended by incorporating the effect of different effective masses in the active region and the substrate, nonspherical-nonparabolic bands, and the energy loss per collision. Photoresponse measurements on Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction internal photoemission (HIP) infrared photodetectors (IP) have shown that they are fit well by the theory. Qualitative model describing the mechanisms of ph...
