AbstractWe show that the optical and electrical properties of microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) deposited by the VHF-GD technique at 110 MHz can considerably be tuned by changing the dilution ratio of silane to hydrogen.With increasing silane dilution we observe enhanced optical absorption for energies below 2 eV due to the transition of the material from amorphous / microcrystalline mixture to a pure microcrystalline phase. Simultaneously, the light scattering and the defect absorption increases. Strong dilution also promotes the incorporation of impurities into the material, leading to a pronounced extrinsic behaviour as seen from the decrease of the activiation energy of the electrical conductivity.The electrical properties were investigated in the dark by the Time of Flight technique. We measured drift mobilities at room temperature which slightly increase with dilution, reaching values of 3 cm2/Vs for electrons and 1.2 cm2/Vs for holes. The ratio between electron and hole drift mobilities is found to be around 2 for all samples studied, similar to that of crystalline silicon.Furthermore, post-transient Time of Flight measurements revealed detrimental electron deep traps in low dilution material.

ABSTRACTExperimental results on a systematic investigation on the elemental composition, structural, optical and electrical properties of undoped and doped microcrystalline silicon carbide films deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition.The doped samples show high values of dark conductivity accompanied by good optical properties so to satisfy the requirements for heterojunction window material.

ABSTRACTMicrocrystalline films of SiC.H have been deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) of SiH4+CH4+H2 mixtures with high power density and high H2 dilution, at variable CH4/SiH4 ratios. Their elemental composition, structural, optical and electrical properties have been investigated in order to evidence the influence of hydrogen and carbon on microcrystallinity.

Novel electrically conducting polymeric materials are prepared in this work. Polythiophene (PT) and poly (3-Methelthiophene) (P3MT) films were prepared by electro-polymerization method using cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile as a solvent and lithium tetrafluoroborate as the electrolyte on a gold electrode. Electrical properties of P3MT have been examined in different environments using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and quantum mechanical ab initio calculations, The observed absorption peaks at 314 and 415 nm, were attributed to the n-π* and π-π* transitions, respectively in the conjugated polymer chain, in contrast, the observed absorbance peak at 649 nm, is responsible for electric conduction. The temperature dependence of the conductivity can be fitted to the Arrhenius and the VTF equations in different temperature ranges.

CdHgTe thin films were grown onto glass substrate via the Chemical bath deposition technique. XRD results indicate that a CdHgTe formed with a cubic polycrystalline structure. The crystallinity of CdHgTe thin films is gradually deteriorate with increasing the gamma irradiation. EDS spectrums confirms the presence of Cd, Hg and Te elements. DC electrical conductivity results depicted the conductivity of CdHgTe increase with increasing a gamma ray dosage
