The preparation and characterization of CuInS2 thin films on ITO glass substrates prepared by one-step electrodeposition have been reported. Samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that CuInS2 is the major phase for the film deposited at -1.0 V, after annealing at 550°C in sulfur atmosphere, and the sample is Cu-rich and p-type semiconductor. Additionally, the energy band gap and carrier concentration for the sample were found to be 1.43 eV and 4.20×1017 cm−3, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum photocurrent density of the sample was found to be -1.15 mA/cm2 under 255 lx illumination, the sample shows the photo-enhancement effect.

CuInS2thin films were prepared onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by sulfurization of electrodeposited CuxInySzprecursor films under S atmosphere. The influences of deposition potential, Cu2+/In3+ratio, sulfurization temperature, and sulfur content on the CuInS2thin films were investigated. Phases and structures were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy; surface morphology was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy; optical and electrical properties were characterized by UV-Vis absorption and Mott-Schottky curves, respectively. As a result, the optimal well-crystallized CuInS2films preparation parameters were determined to be deposition potential of −0.8 V, Cu2+/In3+ratio of 1.4, sulfur content of 1 g, and the sulfurization temperature of 550°C for 1 h; CuInS2thin films prepared by one-step electrodeposition present the p-type semiconductor, with thickness about 4-5 μm and their optical band gaps in the range of 1.53~1.55 eV.

A porphyrin dimer was prepared by coupling H2MHTPP and 1,4-dichloro-2,5-dinitrobenzene in a one-step synthesis. Its structure was established by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrum and its electrochemical and photochemical properties were investigated. Surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) revealed that the porphyrin dimer is a p-type semiconductor.

ABSTRACTMaterials design for transparent p-type conducting oxides was extended to oxysulfide system. LaCuOS was selected as a candidate for a transparent p-type semiconductor. It was found that the electrical conductivity of LaCuOS was p-type and controllable from semiconducting to semi-metallic states by substituting Sr2+ for La3+. LaCuOS films showed high transparency in the visible region, and the bandgap estimated was approximately 3.1 eV. Moreover, it was revealed that LaCuOS showed sharp excitonic absorption and emission at the bandgap edge, which is advantageous for optical applications. A layered oxysulfide, LaCuOS, was proposed to be a promising material for optoelectronic devices.

This paper presents the simulation model of Dual Magnetodiode and Dual Schottky Magnetodiode using Sentaurus TCAD to simulate the virtual structure of magneto device and apply Hall Effect to measure magnetic field response of the device. Firstly, we use the program to simulate the magnetodiode with p-type semiconductor and aluminum anode and measure electrical properties and magnetic field sensitivity. Simulation results show that sensitivity of Dual Schottky magnetodiode is higher than that of Dual magnetodiode.

Bulk Fe4Sb12 and Fe3CoSb12 were prepared by sintering at 600 °C. The phases of samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and their thermoelectric properties were tested by electric constant instrument and laser thermal constant instrument. Experimental results show that, the major phases of bulk samples are skutterudite with impurity phase FeSb2. The electric resistivities of the samples increase with temperature rising at 100~500 °C. The bulk samples are P-type semiconductor materials. The Seebeck coefficients of the bulk Fe4Sb12 are higher than those of bulk Fe3CoSb12 samples at 100~200 °C but lower at 300~500 °C. The power factor of the bulk Fe4Sb12 samples decreases with temperature rising while that of bulk Fe3CoSb12 samples increases with temperature rising at 100~500 °C. The thermal conductivities of the bulk Fe4Sb12 samples are relatively higher than those of and Fe3CoSb12, which maximum value is up to 0.0974 Wm-1K-1.
