  • Modelling and Optimising Gaas/Al (X) Ga (1-X) As Multiple Quantum Well
    University of London Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Department of Physics Modelling and Optimising GaAs/AlxGa1 xAs − Multiple Quantum Well Solar Cells James P. Connolly arXiv:1006.1053v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 5 Jun 2010 Submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Science of the University of London and the Diploma of Imperial College, January 1997 2 Abstract The quantum well solar cell (QWSC) is a p - i - n solar cell with quantum wells in the intrinsic region. Previous work has shown that QWSCs have a greater open circuit voltage (Voc) than would be provided by a cell with the quantum well effective bandgap. This suggests that the fundamental efficiency limits of QWSCs are greater than those of single bandgap solar cells. The following work investigates QWSCs in the GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs materials system. The design and optimisation of a QWSC in this system requires studies of the voltage and current dependencies on the aluminium fraction. QWSCs with different aluminium fractions have been studied and show an increasing Voc with increasing barrier aluminium composition. The QE however decreases with increasing aluminium composition. We de- velop a model of the QE to test novel QWSC designs with a view to minimising this problem. This work concentrates on two design changes. The first deals with com- positionally graded structures in which the bandgap varies with position. This bandgap variation introduces an quasi electric field which can be used to increase minority carrier collection in the low efficiency p and n layers. This technique also increases the light flux reaching the highly efficient depletion regions.

A. Owolabi1, M. Y. Onimisi1, S. G. Abdu2, G. O. Olowomofe1 1Department of Physics, Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, Nigeria 2Department of Physics, Kaduna State University, Kaduna, Nigeria Received 18 April 2016; accepted 2 July 2016; published 5 July 2016 Copyright © 2016 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This research paper is on Density Functional Theory (DFT) within Local Density Approximation. The calculation was performed using Fritz Haber Institute Ab-initio Molecular Simulations (FHI- AIMS) code based on numerical atomic-centered orbital basis sets. The electronic band struc- ture, total density of state (DOS) and band gap energy were calculated for Gallium-Arsenide and Aluminium-Arsenide in diamond structures. The result of minimum total energy and computa- tional time obtained from the experimental lattice constant 5.63 A for both Gallium Arsenide and Aluminium Arsenide is −114,915.7903 eV and 64.989 s, respectively. The electronic band structure analysis shows that Aluminium-Arsenide is an indirect band gap semiconductor while Gallium-Arsenide is a direct band gap semiconductor. The energy gap results obtained for GaAs is 0.37 eV and AlAs is 1.42 eV. The band gap in GaAs observed is very small when compared to AlAs.

  • Semiconductor and Magnetic Material 3
    Semiconductor and 11 Magnetic Material 2 Electronic Devices Circuits and Applications 1.1 INTRODUCTION Semiconductors are materials having electrical conductivities between those of good conductors and insulators. Semiconductors resistivity varies from 10–5 to 10+4 m. Similarly resistivity range values 10–8 to 10+6 m for conductors and from 107 to 108 m for insulators. Germanium (Ge) and Silicon (Si) are the most commonly used semiconductors and belong to Group-IV of the periodic table. They have resistivity of about 0.6 and 1.5 × 103 m respectively. Also there are certain compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), cadmium sulphide (CdS), etc. They are formed by the combination of the elements of groups III and V. Small band gap is another important characteristic of semiconductors. Also the semiconductors have negative temperature coefficient of resistance because the number of carriers in a semiconductor will increase significantly with temperature, resulting in reduction of the resistance of the semiconductor. 1.2 SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS (GROUP-IV) Semiconductors are materials having electrical conductivities between those of good conductors and insulators. The elemental semiconductor such as germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si) belong to Group-IV of the periodic table and have resistivity of about 0.6 and 1.5 × 103 cm respectively. The energy band gaps of these elements of Group-IV at 0 K are given as below: C (diamond) → 5.51 eV Ge → 0.75 eV Si → 1.16 eV Sn (grey) → 0.08 eV Pd → ≈ eV We may say from above list that at room temperature (i.e., 0 K) diamond behaves as an insulator but Ge and Si are treated as semiconductors.

    List of semiconductor materials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 List of semiconductor materials From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Semiconductor materials are insulators at absolute zero temperature that conduct electricity in a limited way at room temperature. The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be doped with impurities that alter its electronic properties in a controllable way. Because of their application in devices like transistors (and therefore computers) and lasers, the search for new semiconductor materials and the improvement of existing materials is an important field of study in materials science. The most commonly used semiconductor materials are crystalline inorganic solids. These materials can be classified according to the periodic table groups from which their constituent atoms come. Semiconductor materials are differing by their properties. Compound semiconductors have advantages and disadvantages in comparison with silicon. For example gallium arsenide has six times higher electron mobility than silicon, which allows faster operation; wider band gap, which allows operation of power devices at higher temperatures, and gives lower thermal noise to low power devices at room temperature; its direct band gap gives it more favorable optoelectronic properties than the indirect band gap of silicon; it can be alloyed to ternary and quaternary compositions, with adjustable band gap width, allowing light emission at chosen wavelengths, and allowing e.g. matching to wavelengths with lowest losses in optical fibers. GaAs can be also grown in a semiinsulating form, which is suitable as a lattice-matching insulating substrate for GaAs devices. Conversely, silicon is robust, cheap, and easy to process, while GaAs is brittle, expensive, and insulation layers can not be created by just growing an oxide layer; GaAs is therefore used only where silicon is not sufficient.[1] Some materials can be prepared with tunable properties, e.g.

World Health Organization Geneva, 2002 The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), established in 1980, is a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 by UNEP, ILO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, WHO, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (Participating Organizations), following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase coordination in the field of chemical safety.
