Proton irradiation Of GaO Schottky diodes and NiO/GaO heterojunctions.

p-NiO/n-GaO heterojunction (HJ) diodes exhibit much larger changes in their properties upon 1.1 MeV proton irradiation than Schottky diodes (SDs) prepared on the same material. In p-NiO/GaO HJ diodes, the narrow region adjacent to the HJ boundary is found to contain a high density of relatively deep centers with levels near E-0.

Photocatalytic Activity of N-Doped ZrO Thin Films Determined by Direct and Indirect Irradiation.

In this paper, we investigate the decomposition of a toxic organic compound, Rhodamine B, by the photocatalytic activities of undoped and nitrogen-doped ZrO thin films, deposited using the HiPIMS technique. The investigation was performed in the presence and in the absence of HO, for two types of experimental arrangements: the irradiation of the films, followed by dipping them in the Rhodamine B solutions, and the irradiation of the films dipped in the solution. The two situations were named "direct irradiation" and "indirect irradiation", respectively.

Modeling and X-ray Analysis of Defect Nanoclusters Formation in BC under Ion Irradiation.

In the presented work, BC was irradiated with xenon swift heavy ions at the energy of 167 MeV. The irradiation of the substrate was done at room temperature to a fluence of 3.83 × 10 ion/cm.

On the Possibility of Designing an Advanced Sensor with Particle Sizing Using Dynamic Light Scattering Time Series Spectral Entropy and Artificial Neural Network.

Dynamic Light Scattering is a well-established technique used in particle sizing. An alternative procedure for Dynamic Light Scattering time series processing based on spectral entropy computation and Artificial Neural Networks is described. An error analysis of the proposed method was carried out and the results on both the simulated and on the experimental DLS time series are presented in detail.

Distribution of Hydrogen and Defects in the Zr/Nb Nanoscale Multilayer Coatings after Proton Irradiation.

Radiation damage is one of the significant factors limiting the operating time of many structural materials working under extreme conditions. One of the promising directions in the development of materials that are resistant to radiation damage and have improved physical and mechanical properties is the creation of nanoscale multilayer coatings (NMCs). The paper is devoted to the experimental comprehension of changes in the defect structure and mechanical properties of nanoscale multilayer coatings (NMCs) with alternating layers of Zr and Nb under irradiation.

Arylenevinylene Oligomer-Based Heterostructures on Flexible AZO Electrodes.

We investigated the optical and electrical properties of flexible single and bi-layer organic heterostructures prepared by vacuum evaporation with a p-type layer of arylenevinylene oligomers, based on carbazole, 3,3' bis(N hexylcarbazole)vinylbenzene = L13, or triphenylamine, 1,4 bis [4 (N,N' diphenylamino)phenylvinyl] benzene = L78, and an n-type layer of 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyrydil)21H,23H-porphyne = TPyP. Transparent conductor films of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) with high transparency, >90% for wavelengths > 400 nm, and low resistivity, between 6.9 × 10 Ω·cm and 23 × 10 Ω·cm, were deposited by pulsed laser deposition on flexible substrates of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
