a-SiCx:H PIN diode has been fabricated within a single pump-down process under the same deposition conditions used for doped and undoped PECVD grown thin films, whose optical and electrical properties are determined and compared with a-Si:H. Current-voltage characteristics of PIN diode are evaluated and concluded to be limited by tunnelling of holes at p-i interface into valence band tail states. Electroluminescence measurements revealed radiative monomolecular recombinations. Deconvolution of the luminescence spectra is utilized to analyse recombination mechanism to be dominated by the transitions between band tails and deep states, which are created by the large density of both silicon and carbon dangling bonds, probable in the stoichiometric a-SiCx:H film. Finally, a small luminescence peak around 1.9 eV would be an evidence of reduced probability of tail to tail transitions, than that of the transitions between tail and deep states.

AMORPHOUS-TO-CRYSTALLINE TRANSITION OF SELENIUM THIN-FILMS DEPOSITED ONTO ALUMINUM SUBSTRATES Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (Elsevier BV, 1990-01-01) The crystallization of amorphous selenium (a-Se) films prepared by vacuum deposition at < 10−5torr onto aluminum substrates at 20°C was examined. The amorphous-to-crystalline transition was obtained by annealing the films between 70–85°C. The crystalline structures resulting from annealing at different temperatures have been identified by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). X-ray and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) studies revealed that these crystals were of hexagonal structure. The thicknesses of t...
INVESTIGATION OF CONDUCTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS OF Zn-In-Se THIN FILMS Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2020-01-01) Zn-In-Se thin films were fabricated on the ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates masked with clover-shaped geometry by thermal evaporation of its elemental sources. Temperature-dependent conductivity characteristics of the films were investigated under dark and illuminated conditions. The semiconductor type of the films was found as n-type by thermal probe test. According to the van der Pauw technique, the dark electrical conductivity analyses showed that the variations of conductivity of unannealed and a...
Combined effects of ALS and SLS on Al2O3 reinforced composite nickel coatings Yılmaz, Olgun; Karakaya, I. (Informa UK Limited, 2020-05-03) The mechanical and tribological properties of electrochemical coatings can be enhanced by the embedded second phase particles to nickel matrix. Two different anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate and ammonium lignosulfonate were used together to adjust the wetting conditions and provide the suspension of Al2O3 particles in a nickel sulfamate electrolyte in this study. The effects of current density and amounts of the two surfactants on wear rate, coefficient of friction, and hardness were studied. It w...
Electronic properties of polyamide-PPy/metal junction and electrical conductivity of a typical sample at low temperatures SÜNEL, NACİ; SEDEF, AHMET YASİN; Parlak, Mehmet; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-15) Electronic properties of junctions fabricated by polyamide-polypyrrole composite films polymerized with adjusted doping concentration and various metal contacts (In, Al, Au and Ag) were investigated. For the junctions giving good rectification I-0, n and phi(b) were specified. Conductivity of polyamide-polypyrrole composite polymer was obtained as a function of temperature in the 70-320 K range and was found to obey the VRH model. In addition the Mott parameters were evaluated.
Frequency Selective Characteristics of a Plasma Layer with Sinusoidally Varying Electron Density Profile GÜREL, ÇİĞDEM SEÇKİN; Oencue, Emrah (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-06-01) In this study reflection, absorbtion and transmission characteristics of a plasma layer having sinusoidally varying electron number density are analysed. In the analysis, plasma layer is divided into thin subslabs with constant electron number densities. The general frequency selective behavior of the plasma is investigated by varying the plasma parameters, external magnetic field excitation and sinusoidal electron distribution in order to be used in recent plasma applications.
