Simple way to make Anatase TiO2 films on FTO glass for promising solar cells

Description : TiO2 is a wide bandgap semiconductor material used as the photo anode in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The fabrication of TiO2 on conductive glass substrates plays an important role in the solar cell efficiency, since the thickness of the TiO2 coating affects the transmission, photoconductive p...

Surface plasmon resonance of sparsely dispersed au nanoparticles in TiO2 photoanode of dye sensitised solar cells

Description : Plasmonics is an emerging field that makes use of the nanoscale properties of metals, and its application in solar cells has seen a recent surge of interest [1]. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) were fabricated by incorporating Au NPs into the TiO2 photoanode. The dye absorption is enhanced by the ...

Impact of disorder on optical phonons confined in CdS nano-crystallites embedded in a SiO2 matrix

Description : Non-resonant Raman spectroscopy studies of a set of CdS films annealed at different temperatures were performed and showed a direct correlation between the width of the Raman peak produced by CdS-like optical phonons and the crystalline quality of the semiconductor phase probed by x-ray diffraction ...

Confined optical vibrations in CdTe quantum dots and clusters

Description : Absorption of far-infrared (FIR) radiation and Raman scattering in CdTe nano-crystals (spherical quantum dots (QDs) of several nanometers in size) and Cd54Te32(SCH2CH2OH)8- 32 clusters prepared by colloidal synthesis were studied. Raman spectra of both QDs and clusters are dominated by a peak situat...

FIR absorption in CdSe quantum dot ensembles

Description : Absorption of far-infrared (FIR) radiation in very small CdSe crystallites (quantum dots, QDs) via excitation of confined dipolar vibrational modes was studied, both theoretically and experimentally. Spatial quantisation of optical phonons was analysed in the framework of a continuum model, which co...

Mixed optical phonon modes in semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized in porous amorphous Al2O3 matrix

Description : This work is devoted to experimental and theoretical studies of optical phonons confined in CdS nanocrystals grown inside a porous alumina matrix. The complete sets of phonon modes, confined in a spherical quantum dot and in a cylindrical quantum wire, are considered in the framework of a continuum ...

Electrical and photoelectric properties of PZT 65/35 thin films deposited by sol-gel: competition between ferroelectric and semiconductor properties

Description : Asymmetric metal–ferroelectric–metal (MFM) structures were manufactured by sol–gel deposition of a lead zirconate-titanate (PZT with Zr/Ti ratio 65/35) film on Pt-coated Si, with a Au top electrode. The average remnant polarization of 9 µC/cm2 and the coercive field of 39 kV/cm were obtained from th...

Exact solution for square-wave grating covered with graphene: Surface plasmon-polaritons in the THz range

Description : We provide an analytical solution to the problem of scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a square-wave grating with a flat graphene sheet on top. We show that for deep groves there is a strong plasmonic response with light absorption in the graphene sheet reaching more than 45%, due to the e...

Study of the piezoresistivity of doped nanocrystalline silicon thin films

Description : The piezoresistive response of n- and p-type hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films, deposited by hot-wire (HW) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on thermally oxidized silicon wafers, has been studied using four-point bending tests. The piezoresistive gauge factor (GF) w...

Resonant raman scattering in CdSxSe1-x nanocrystals : effects of phonon confinement, composition and elastic strain

Description : Optical phonon modes confined in CdSxSe1-x nanocrystal (NC) quantum dots (≈ 2 nm in radius) grown in a glass matrix by the melting-nucleation method, were studied by means of resonant Raman scattering (RRS)spectroscopy and theoretical modelling. The formation of nanocrystalline quantum dots (QDs) is...
