Carrier diffusivity has been experimentally determined in low-doped n-type epitaxial 4H–SiC over a wide injection range using a Fourier transient grating technique. The data showed that, with injection, the diffusion coefficient increased from a minority-hole diffusivity Dh = 2.3 cm2/s to an ambipolar diffusivity Da = 4.2 cm2/s at approximately 1016 cm−3 with a substantial decrease occurring at higher injections. The derived Dh value corresponded to a minority-hole drift mobility of μh = 90 cm2/Vs, about 30% lower than available majority-hole mobilities. Also, the temperature dependence of the ambipolar diffusivity in the 296–523 K range has been determined. It followed a power law Da ∼ T−1.3 which notably differed from the expected one using the majority-hole mobility temperature dependence.

ABSTRACTThe electrochemical permeation method was applied to the determination of the diffusion coefficient of Li+ion (DLi+) in a glassy carbon (GC) plate. The cell was composed of two compartments, which were separated by the GC plate. Li+ions were inserted electrochemically from one face, and extracted from the other. The flux of the permeated Li+ions was monitored as an oxidation current at the latter face. The diffusion coefficient was determined by fitting the transient current curve with a theoretical one derived from Fick's law. When the potential was stepped between two potentials in the range of 0 to 0.5 V, transient curves were well fitted with the theoretical one, which gaveDLi+ values on the order of 10−8cm2s−1. In contrast, when the potential was stepped between two potentials across 0.5 V, significant deviation was observed. The deviation indicated the presence of trap sites as well as diffusion sites for Li+ions, the former of which is the origin of the irreversible capacity of GC.
