Switching Threshold Voltage

Current-voltage () characteristics of Nandi flame seed cuticles (NFSCs) have been studied as a function of irradiation, annealing, and poling temperature. The cuticles showed memory and threshold switching. Threshold voltage was about 5 V which is almost five times higher than observed in synthetic polymers. The threshold voltage increased to 6–8 V after irradiation and annealing depending on the duration of annealing or irradiation. After switching, conductivity increased by an order of . In reverse bias, increase of current was observed and the memory hysteresis loop was at higher conductivity than at the time of switching. Switching effect was minimized at a poling temperature of 370 K. Formation of semiquinones and quinoid radicals from phenolic compounds may have contributed to electrical switching and hysteresis effect.

ABSTRACTThe (100), (111) and randomly oriented PZT thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/Coming 7059 glass using sol-gel method. The thin films having different orientation were fabricated by different drying conditions for pyrolysis. The preferred orientations of the PZT thin films were observed using XRD, rocking curves, and pole figures. The microstructures were investigated using SEM. The hysteresis loops and capacitance-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using a standardized ferroelectric test system. The dielectric constant and current-voltage characteristics of the films were investigated using an impedance analyzer and pA meter, respectively. The films oriented in a particular direction showed superior electrical characteristics to the randomly oriented films.

The photoconductivity of a nanocomposite MEH-PPV:TiO2 thin film is investigated. The nanocomposite MEH-PPV:TiO2 thin film was deposited on a glass substrate by spin coating technique. The composition of the TiO2 powder was varied from 5 wt% to 20 wt% (with 5 wt% interval). The concentration of the MEH-PPV is given by 1 mg/1 ml. The current voltage characteristics were measured in dark and under illumination. The photoconductivity showed increment in value as the composition of the TiO2 is raised in the polymer based solution. The absorption showed augmentation as the amount of TiO2 is increased. The escalation of the current voltage is then supported by the results of surface morphology.

La Doped

La-doped bismuth titanate (Bi4-xLaxTi3O12: BLT) and pure Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) thin films with random orientation were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique. These samples had polycrystalline Bi-layered perovskite structure without preferred orientation, and consisted of well developed rod-like grains with random orientation. For the samples with x=0.25 and 1.0 the current-voltage characteristics exhibited negative differential resistance behaviors and their P-V hysteresis loops were characterized by large leakage current, whereas for the samples with x=0.5 and 0.75 the current-voltage characteristics showed simple ohmic behaviors and their P-V hysteresis loops were the saturated and undistorted hysteresis loops. The remanent polarization ( Pr ) and coercive field (Ec) of the BLT ceramic with x=0.75 were above 20μC/cm2 and 85KV/cm , respectively.

Their current–voltage characteristics were investigated with and without illumination. The film structures are photosensitive and exhibit the hysteresis on the forward and reverse bias with loop broadening at the reverse part.

Spectral Ranges

ABSTRACTElectric field – induced effects are studied in thin films of amorphous Si grown by magnetron sputtering performed in continuous and pulse modes. Current-voltage characteristics are measured under the room temperature in different spectral ranges. It is shown that the investigated dependencies are of exponential character in all range of applied bias. Good photosensitivity was revealed by the samples prepared in continuous mode in the near-IR and visible interval. The samples grown by the pulse magnetron technology were shown room-temperature photosensitivity in near-IR range after 2000C hydrogenation.

Organic semiconductor thin films of bis-(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)-4-(phenyl-phenolato) -aluminium-(III) (BAlq), N,N′-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB), and tris-(8- hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq) were prepared by the vacuum sublimation technique. The optical properties in the UV-visible region of the thin films were investigated by optical transmittance and absorbance spectra. The optical energy gaps were obtained from direct allowed transitions at room temperature by Tauc’s law. The Urbach energy and the slope of Urbach edge were estimated by the Urbach-edges method, respectively. Furthermore, the current-voltage characteristics of organic thin films were analyzed, and the different slopes in the lower and higher voltage regions were observed. From the experimental studies, the effective carrier mobility, free carrier density, and electrical conductivity were also evaluated respectively.
