  • We investigated the device performance for organic light-emitting characteristics based on the electron-injecting interfacial characteristics of Ba deposited on tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) with a change of a Ba coverage. The device performance of organic light-emitting diodes with Ba coverage of 1 nm significantly improved by the lowering of the electron-injecting barrier height that was induced by electronic charge transfer. However, the device with Ba coverage above 1 nm showed poor device performance. The spectroscopic results indicated that the $Alq_3$ molecules started to decompose by the reaction between Ba and the phenoxide moiety of the molecule.

  • The binding energies of the ground state of both the heavy-hole and light-hole excitons in a GaAs(In\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs) quantum well sandwiched between two semi-infinite Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs(InP) layers are calculated as a function of well width in the presence of an arbitray magnetic field. A variational approach is followed using very simple trial wave function. The applied magnetic field is assumed to be parallel to the axis of growth and the binding energies are calculated for a finite value of the height of the potential barrier. The exciton binding energies for a given value of the magnetic field are found to be increased than their values in a zero magnetic field due to the compression of their wave functions within the well with the applied magnetic field.

  • We have investigated the electrical characterization of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors formed on the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etch-damaged both n- and p-type 4H-SiC. We found that there was an effect of a sacrificial oxidation treatment on the etch-damaged surfaces. Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements of these MOS capacitors were used and referenced to those of prepared control samples without etch damage. It has been found that a sacrificial oxidation treatment can improve the electrical characteristics of MOS capacitors on etch-damaged 4H-SiC since the effective interface density and fixed oxide charges of etch-damaged samples have been found to increase while the breakdown field strength of the oxide decreased and the barrier height at the SiC-SiO$_2$ interface decreased for MOS capacitors on etch-damaged surfaces.

  • The microstructure, voltage-current, capacitance-voltage, and dielectric characteristics of CCT doped Zn/Pr-based varistors were investigated at different sintering temperatures. As the sintering temperature increased, the average grain size increased from 4.3 to 5.1 ${\mu}m$ and the sintered density was saturated at 5.81 g $cm^{-3}$. As the sintering temperature increased, the breakdown field decreased from 7,532 to 5,882 V $cm^{-1}$ and the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 46 to 34. As the sintering temperature increased, the donor density, density of interface states, and barrier height decreased in the range of (9.06-7.24)${\times}10^{17}\;cm^{-3}$, (3.05-2.56)${\times}10^{12}\;cm^{-2}$, and 1.1-0.95 eV, respectively. The dielectric constant exhibited relatively low value in the range of 529.1-610.3, whereas the $tan{\delta}$ exhibited a high value in the range of 0.0910-0.1053.

  • An immersed boundary method for simulation of density-stratified flows is developed and applied to computation of viscous flows over two-dimensional obstacles in a bounded domain under stable density stratification. Density sources/sinks are introduced on the body surface. Two obstacle shapes are used, a vertical barrier and a smooth cosine-shaped hill; weak stratification, defined by $K=ND/{\pi}U{\leq}1$, where U, N, and D are the upstream velocity, buoyancy frequency, and domain height, respectively, is considered. The results are consistent with other authors' calculations, and shed light on computation of density-stratified flows in complex geometries.

  • In this paper, we report our numerical simulation on the electronic-optical properties of the phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) devices. In order to calculate the electrical and optical characteristics such as the transport behavior of carriers, recombination kinetics, and emission property, we undertake the finite element method (FEM). Our model includes Poisson's equation, continuity equation to account for behavior of electrons and holes and the exciton continuity/transfer equation. We demonstrate that the refractive indexes of each material affect the emission property and the barrier height of the interface influences the behavior of charges and the generation of exciton.

  • In this paper, the current-voltage characteristics of a 4H-SiC MESFET is simulated by using the Atlas Simulation tool. we are able to use the simulator to extract more information about the new material 4H-SiC, including the mobility, velocity-field Curve and the Schottky barrier height. We have enabled and used the new simulator to investigate breakdown Voltage and thus predict operation limitations of 4H-SiC device. Modeling results indicate that the Breakdown Voltage is 197 V and Current is 100 mA

  • This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of Schottky micro hydrogen sensors for high temperatures by using polycrystalline(poly) 3C-SiC thin films grown on Si substrates with thermal oxide layer using APCVD. Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky diodes were made and evaluated by I-V and C-V measurements. Electric current density and barrier height voltage were $2{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^2$ and 0.58 eV, respectively. These devices could operate stably at about 400 $^{\circ}$. The characteristics of implemented sensors have been investigated in terms of sensitivity, linearity of response, response rate, and response time. Therefore, from these results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky devices have very high potential for high temperature $H_2$ sensor applications.

  • This paper describes the fabrication of a Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky diode and its characteristics, in which the poly 3C-SiC layer and Pd Schottky contact were deposited by using APCVD and sputter, respectively. Crystalline quality, uniformity, and preferred orientations of the Pd thin film were evaluated by SEM and XRD, respectively. Pd/poly 3C-SiC schottky diodes were fabricated and characterized by I-V and C-V measurements. Its electric current density Js and barrier height voltage were measured as $2{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^2$ and 0.58 eV, respectively. These devices were operated until about $400^{\circ}C$. Therefore, from these results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky devices have very high potential for high temperature chemical sensor applications.

  • The effects of conduction band offset on 2 dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in N-InAlAs(AlAsSb)/InGaAs/InAlAs (AlAsSb) metamorphic heterostructures (MMHS) are studied. A combination of the Shubnikov-deHaas oscillations and the Hall measurements is used to investigate the electron transport properties of these structures. The mobility in the second subband is higher than that in the first subband in all heterostructures. This is attributed to the fact that electrons in the first subband we, on average, closer to the interface and are therefore scattered more strongly by ionized impurities. The results suggest that intersubband scattering rate is more dominant in structures with higher conduction band offset whereas alloy scattering is found to be more dominant in the higher band offset system.
