Download or read book Properties of Aluminium Gallium Arsenide written by Sadao Adachi and published by IET. This book was released on 1993 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alloy system A1GaAs/GaAs is potentially of great importance for many high-speed electronics and optoelectronic devices, because the lattice parameter difference GaAs and A1GaAs is very small, which promises an insignificant concentration of undesirable interface states. Thanks to this prominent feature, a number of interesting properties and phenomena, such as high-mobility low-dimensional carrier gases, resonant tunnelling and fractional quantum Hall effect, have been found in the A1GaAs/GaAs heterostructure system. New devices, such as modulation-doped FETs, heterojunction bipolar transistors, resonant tunnelling transistors, quantum-well lasers, and other photonic and quantum-effect devices, have also been developed recently using this material system. These areas are recognized as not being the most interesting and active fields in semiconductor physics and device engineering.
Download or read book Theory of Graded Bandgap Thin Film Solar Cells written by Faiz Ahmad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin-film solar cells are cheap and easy to manufacture but require improvements as their efficiencies are low compared to that of the commercially dominant crystalline-silicon solar cells. An optoelectronic model is formulated and implemented along with the differential evolution algorithm to assess the efficacy of grading the bandgap of the CIGS, CZTSSe, and AlGaAs photon-absorbing layer for optimizing the power-conversion efficiency of thin-film CIGS, CZTSSe, and AlGaAs solar cells, respectively, in the two-terminal single-junction format. Each thin-film solar cell is modeled as a photonic device as well as an electronic device. Solar cells with two (or more) photon-absorbing layers can also be handled using the optolelectronic model, whose results will stimulate experimental techniques for bandgap grading to enable ubiquitous small-scale harnessing of solar energy.

Download or read book Defects in Self Catalysed III V Nanowires written by James A. Gott and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an in-depth exploration of imperfections that can be found in self-catalysed III-V semiconductor nanowires. By utilising advanced electron microscopy techniques, the interface sharpness and defects at the atomic and macroscopic scale are analysed. It is found that a surprising variety and quantity of defect structures can exist in nanowire systems, and that they can in fact host some never-before-seen defect configurations. To probe how these defects are formed, conditions during nanowire growth can be emulated inside the microscope using the latest generation of in-situ heating holder. This allowed the examination of defect formation, dynamics, and removal, revealing that many of the defects can in fact be eliminated. This information is critical for attaining perfect nanowire growth. The author presents annealing strategies to improve crystal quality, and therefore device performance.
