An exponential doping NEA InGaAs photocathode is theoretically proposed to apply in the near infrared streak camera. The photocathode time response is calculated and analyzed by using a photoelectron non-steady method. The numerical results show that the excited electrons in the InGaAs active layer is accelerated due to the built-in electric field induced by the exponential doping structure, which shortens the transport time of minority carriers in the photocathode and thus, the time response is greatly improved. In addition, the exponential doping InGaAs photocathode possesses time response of less than 10 picoseconds and near-infrared quantum efficiency of 10%.

ABSTRACTPhotocurrent multiplication has been observed in a-Si based p−i/SiNx/i−n junction cells under reverse biased high electric field. An apparent external quantum efficiency exceeds 20. A systematic investigation on electric and optoelectronic properties has been made to clarify the mechanism of photocarrier multiplication. The results indicate the possibility of inter-band tunneling via localized states in the a-SiN layer, which is induced by field-redistribution due to the built-up of trapped charges at the a-SiN/a-Si interface.

AbstractQuantum efficiency(QE) spectroscopy of amorphous silicon and alloy solar cells has been used for many years now to determine the mobility-lifetime products for minority carriers. Similarly, matching of I(V) curves, assuming a linear model for collection as a function of applied voltage, has been used to quantify the effects of degradation on cell performance by estimating changes in the collection length [or range] of holes. In this paper, we do a numerical simulation of these techniques, using the AMPS I-D model developed by Fonash and his coworkers. The simulation shows that neither the lifetime nor the electric field in the devices is constant as a function of position. Nor is the electric field a linear function of applied voltage, particularly when the voltage exceeds about half the built-in voltage. The uniformity of the lifetime depends on the applied bias and on the defect densities in the material. This variation in electric field and lifetime and nonlinearity with applied voltage makes questionable some of the conclusions drawn from fitting device I(V) curves, particularly under forward bias. However, when one uses only a limited range of forward bias, or, preferably, make measurements in cells with thicker i layers under reverse bias, one c.an make reasonable estimates of the hole mobility-lifetime(μτ) product or the collection lengthl The simulations also show that indeed, it is the hole μτ product which is the limiting parameter.

Molecular size of OLED emitting materials is nano-metric size and when it is applied to the electric field it emits the light based on the energy conversion result. As new green fluorescent emitters, N,N,N',N'-Tetra-m-tolyl-anthracene-9,10-diamine (m-Me-TAD) and N,N,N',N'-Tetra-p-tolyl-anthracene-9,10-diamine (p-Me-TAD) were synthesized and the properties were evaluated. In solution state, photoluminescence (PL) maximum wavelength is 517 nm for m-Me-TAD and 529 nm for p-Me-TAD. In electroluminescence (EL) spectra, EL maximum wavelength of m-Me-TAD is 518 nm and p-Me-TAD is 533 nm. The doped device using m-Me-TAD as green fluorescent dopant exhibited current efficiency (CE) of 17.41 cd/A and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.41%. The doped device with p-Me-TAD was optimized in order to achieve a green OLED with high efficiency.
