AbstractCharge collection, transient photocurrents and collection efficiency under additional bias illumination were used to characterize 3–4 micron thick a-Si:H pin-diodes. The wavelength dependent decrease or increase in the spectral response, depending on the bias flux and absorption depth, is related to the distribution of the electric field, recombination and majority carrier diffusion. At higher photon flux an overshoot in the transient photocurrent after switch-on of steady illumination indicates the time scale for the changes in internal variables. Collection efficiencies under large bias monochromatic photon flux well in excess of the maximum value of 100 % for probe beam generated carriers are observed with a large amplification ratio. These efficiencies sensitively depend both on the applied voltage and the defect density. Numerical modelling reveals the influence of internal variables on the transient and steady state photocurrents under the different illumination conditions.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we report the use of a device based on two multilayered a-SiC:H/a-Si:H stacked heterostructures to photodetect and demultiplex optical signals of the visible spectrum. Both heterostructures were optimized for the detection of short and long wavelengths within the visible range. The optoelectronic characterization of the device includes spectral response measurements under reverse bias and using different optical steady state light conditions to soak the device. Results show that the device photocurrent signal measured using appropriate steady state optical bias, allows the separate detection of the input transmitted signals which enables the demultiplexing task. A numerical simulation, gives insight into the transduction mechanism to explain the device wavelength selective behavior.

ABSTRACTTransient and steady-state measurements of the ambipolar diffusion length (L*) in undoped a-Si:H films have been carried out through Flying Spot Technique (FST) and Spectral Photovoltage Technique (SPT) using either Schottky or pin structures. The FST is based on the photovoltage response of a monochromatic light that moves with a constant velocity in the interface direction, while in SPT the optical excitation is achieved by changing the absorption coefficient of the incident light and so, the light depth penetration. In FST the additional photo-effect due to the light spot movement allows to infer separately L* and the effective lifetime, (τ*) while in SPT the curve shape of the spectral response allows to estimate the interface behavior and L*. The obtained results reveal that the transient measurement is useful for determining the transport properties of the bulk while the steady technique seems to be more useful to infer the role of the interface on device performances. Limitations of the above techniques will also be reported.

This paper describes some recent results of our quiescent prominence spectrometry program at the Mees Solar Observatory on Haleakala. The observations were made with the 25 cm coronagraph/coudé spectrograph system using a silicon vidicon detector. This detector consists of 500 contiguous channels covering approximately 6 or 80 Å, depending on the grating used. The instrument is interfaced to the Observatory’s PDP 11/45 computer system, and has the important advantages of wide spectral response, linearity and signal-averaging with real-time display. Its principal drawback is the relatively small target size. For the present work, the aperture was about 3″ × 5″. Absolute intensity calibrations were made by measuring quiet regions near sun center.

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.

We performed a steady state high-yielding depolymerization of soluble acetal-stabilized lignin in flow, which offered a window into challenges and opportunities that will be faced when continuously processing this feedstock.

This paper discusses a theoretical method for the “reverse engineering” of networks based solely on steady-state (and quasi-steady-state) data.
