AbstractIt has been widely observed that thin film transistors (TFTs) incorporating an hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) channel exhibit a progressive shift in their threshold voltage with time upon application of a gate bias. This is attributed to the creation of metastable defects in the a-Si:H which can be removed by annealing the device at elevated temperatures with no bias applied to the gate, causing the threshold voltage to return to its original value. In this work, the defect creation and removal process has been investigated using both fully hydrogenated and fully deuterated amorphous silicon (a-Si:D) TFTs. In both cases, material was deposited by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition over a range of gas pressures to cover the a-g transition. The variation in threshold voltage as a function of gate bias stressing time, and annealing time with no gate bias, was measured. Using the thermalisation energy concept, it has been possible to quantitatively determine the distribution of energies required for defect creation and removal as well as the associated attempt-to-escape frequencies. The defect creation and removal process in a-Si:H is then discussed in the light of these results.

Abstract Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has proved its quite competitive thermoelectric properties in flexible electronics with its excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Since the early discovery of PEDOT, considerable experimental progress has been achieved in optimizing and improving thermoelectric properties as a promising organic thermoelectric material (OTE). Among them, theoretical research has made significant contributions to its development. Here the basic physics of conductive PEDOT are reviewed based on the combination of theory and experiment. Its purpose is to provide a new insight into the development of PEDOT, so as to effectively design and preparation of advanced thermoelectric PEDOT material in the future.

The strong interplay between magnetism and transport can tune the thermoelectric properties in chalcogenides and oxides. In the case of ferromagnetic CoS 2 pyrite, it was previously shown that the power factor is large at room temperature, reaching 1 mW m −1  K −2 and abruptly increases for temperatures below the Curie transition ( T C ), an increase potentially due to a magnonic effect on the Seebeck ( S ) coefficient. The too large thermal conductivity approximately equal to 10.5 W m −1  K −1 at room temperature prevents this pyrite from being a good thermoelectric material. In this work, samples belonging to the Co 1− x Fe x S 2 pyrite family ( x  = 0, 0.15 and 0.30) have thus been investigated in order to modify the thermal properties by the introduction of disorder on the Co site. We show here that the thermal conductivity can indeed be reduced by such a substitution, but that this substitution predominantly induces a reduction of the electronic part of the thermal conductivity and not of the lattice part. Interestingly, the magnonic contribution to S below T C disappears as x increases, while at high T , S tends to a very similar value (close to −42 µV K −1 ) for all the samples investigated. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Energy materials for a low carbon future’.
