Thermally stimulated conductivity (TSC) and photoconductivity were measured before and after light irradiation in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films prepared by glow discharge technique. It was observed that even medium-level of exposure to light decreased both the TSC and photoconductivity by nearly an order of magnitude over a temperature range between ∼ 100 and 300 K. From these measurements the density of gap states (DOS) between the dark Fermi level and conduction band mobility edge were calculated for the samples before and after light irradiation and the DOS was found to increase with light exposure at 105 K

METALLIC PHASE OF AMORPHOUS-SILICON ERKOC, S; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 1989-01-01) The local density-of-states calculation has been carried out for the amorphous silicon thin film generated by molecular-dynamics simulation by melting and quenching process. It is found that thin amorphous silicon film has a metallic phase on the free surface region.
XPS study of pulsed Nd : YAG laser oxidized Si Aygun, G.; Atanassova, E.; Kostov, K.; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-15) X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of thin SiO2 layers grown by pulsed Nd:YAG laser at a substrate temperature of 748 K are presented, The peak decomposition technique combined with depth profiling is employed to identify the composition and chemical states of the film structure. It is established that the oxide is non-stoichiometric, and contains all oxidation states of Si in different amounts throughout the film. The interface Si/laser-grown oxide is not abrupt, and the coexistence of Si2O3 and Si2O suboxi...
Large area uniformity of plasma grown hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon and its application in TFTs Anutgan, Tamila Aliyeva; Anutgan, Mustafa; Atilgan, Ismail; Katircioglu, Bayram (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-15) This work investigates the effect of RF power density (100-444 mW/cm(2)) on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin films grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. Moreover, RF power effect on the large area uniformity was analyzed by comparing the properties of the films deposited at the center and near the edge of the PECVD electrode. Film characterization was performed by Fourier transform infrared and UV-vis...
Determination of the influence of TiO2 on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic by ultrasonic velocity measurements Gür, Cemil Hakan; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-15) The influence of small amount (1 or 2 wt%) of TiO2 additions and crystallization heat treatment on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic have been investigated by ultrasonic velocity measurements. The mica based glass ceramic was prepared through controlled crystallization of a glass in the SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O and F system. Evidences of TiO2 acting as a nucleating agent in this system was demonstrated. The longitudinal and transversal wave velocities of the as-prepared glass and the mi...
Electrical transport mechanism in boron nitride thin film ÖZDEMİR, Orhan; Anutgan, Mustafa; Aliyeva-Anutgan, Tamila; Atilgan, Ismail; Katircioglu, Bayram (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01) Both dc and ac transport characteristics of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) boron nitride (BN) thin film was investigated by dc current vs. dc voltage measurement at different temperatures and admittance vs. gate voltage at various frequencies/temperatures, respectively. MIM metal (Al)-insulator (BN)-metal (Al) or MIS metal (Al)-BN-semiconductor (p-Silicon) test devices were conventionally produced. Both conductivity anisotropy and dc/ac detailed transport mechanism were analyzed within t...
