In microcrystalline hydrogenated silicon (μc-Si:H), the drift mobility dependencies of holes on electric field and temperature have been measured by using a method of equilibrium charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage. At room temperature the est ...
We report the fabrication of high-finesse strongly coupled microcavities composed of a polystyrene film doped with the dye tetraphenyl-porphyrin zinc positioned between two high reflectivity dielectric mirrors. The bottom mirror was deposited by plasma enh ...
Previous measurements of SixHm- anions and electrons in the afterglow of silane discharges are analyzed here. A model of plasma anion chemistry includes two sources of anions, two possible causes of x-->x+1 anion growth, and anion loss by mutual neutraliza ...
Nanocryst. TiO2-based films with a special penniform microstructure were prepd. by reactive d.c. magnetron sputtering followed by dye sensitization. The films were integrated in a solar cell configuration and were able to yield a higher photocurrent than s ...
The optical emission spectroscopy technique is used to characterise the temporal behaviour of a pure silane plasma in the first 90 s after ignition of a static closed-chamber very high frequency glow discharge. Special interest is drawn to the formation of ...
We report here on ferromagnetic/superconductor FM/SC and SC/FM double layers deposited without a buffer layer between FM and SC. Thin films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) are used for the FM, and YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) for the SC. Both films can grow crystalline on ...
The tribological behavior of carbon based thin films is strongly influenced by their chemical composition, polycrystalline structure and surface morphology. We present friction measurements on laser deposited amorphous carbon and carbon nitride (CNchi) thi ...
A simple one-dimensional model for plasma deposition in a rectangular showerhead reactor with single side pumping has been developed in order to explain the mechanisms which yield uniform deposition using this gas flow configuration. Although the flow velo ...
Designing plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) reactors to coat large-area glass plates (similar to1 m(2)) for flat panel display or solar cell manufacturing raises challenging issues in physics and chemistry as well as mechanical, thermal, a ...
When silicon thin films are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a plasma regime close to the formation of powder, a new type of material, called hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) is obtained. This material has increased tran ...
