Electrical properties of semi-insulating CdTe-Сl crystals, grown by the vertical Bridgman and the travelling heater method, have been studied. It is found that the travelling heater method provides electron conductivity of the crystals, and the vertical Bridgman method – hole conductivity. Specific resistance of the samples is of (108-109) Ohm×сm at 300 K, and Hall mobility of the holes and electrons is of (45 - 55) cm2/V·s and (10 - 20) cm2/V·s respectively. Very low values of electron mobility and an exponential temperature dependence of µn are due to drift barriers with a height of εb ≈ 0.20 eV. Formation of the barriers is caused by the fluctuations of the potential relief resulting from the microheterogeneity of the defect-impurity system. Quasi-photochemical reactions that reduce electron mobility after photo-excitation have been observed in n-CdTe-Cl samples. In p-CdTe-Cl samples, neither drift barriers, nor quasi-photochemical reactions were detected.

Purpose. Investigate the effect of additive formation parameters on the properties of an antistatic composition based on polylactide (PLA). Methodology. Surface and bulk electrical resistance were determined by ASTM D257. Findings. The influence of additive formation parameters on the electrical properties of graphite-filled composite based on polylactide has been studied. It was found that the value of resistivity significantly depends on the printing conditions, namely the temperature, speed, thickness of the layer. Increasing the printing temperature helps to reduce the resistivity of the sample. Reducing the thickness of the polymer layer also reduces the resistivity at a print speed within 3000 mm / min It was found that the specific electrical characteristics are significantly different in the plane of the sample in contact with the printing platform. Concentric method of laying layers of polymer melt is less effective in terms of resistivity than mutually perpendicular. It was found that the electrical resistivity of samples made of material for 3D printing, which was previously subjected to drying below the resistance of the sample made of undried material. The programmed change of 3D printing parameters allows to control the specific resistance of graphite-filled composite based on polylactide in the range of three orders and to obtain products with properties from antistatic to statically dissipative materials. Additive production allows to obtain products of the desired configuration with adjustable electrical properties. Originality. The peculiarities of the change of antistatic properties of the polymer composite depending on the conditions of additive formation of experimental samples are investigated. Depending on the applied parameters of additive molding, it is possible to obtain products with properties from antistatic to statically dissipative materials. Practical value. Technological modes of additive molding of composite products based on polylactide and graphite have been developed. Energy consumption for additive formation of products of different mass is estimated.

AbstractWe have studied the influence of a deuterium diffusion on the electrical characteristics of the 2D gas present in AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. The deuterium diffusion is performed by exposing the structures to a rf remote deuterium plasma. We find that both the sheet carrier concentration and the electron mobility decrease and that these effects are partly reversible under thermal annealing. These results suggest that deuterium behave as acceptors in the 2D gas region. The negatively charged deuterium act as additional scattering centers for electrons.

We describe an investigation of the electrical properties of interfacial dislocations in strained layer heterostructures. We have been measuring both the structural and electrical characteristics of strained layer p-n junction diodes simultaneously in a transmission electron microscope, enabling us to correlate changes in the electrical characteristics of a device with the formation of dislocations.The presence of dislocations within an electronic device is known to degrade the device performance. This degradation is of increasing significance in the design and processing of novel strained layer devices which may require layer thicknesses above the critical thickness (hc), where it is energetically favourable for the layers to relax by the formation of misfit dislocations at the strained interfaces. In order to quantify how device performance is affected when relaxation occurs we have therefore been investigating the electrical properties of dislocations at the p-n junction in Si/GeSi diodes.

Semiconductor devices require metal contacts for efficient collection of electrical charge. The physics of these metal/semiconductor contacts assumes perfect, abrupt and continuous interfaces between the layers. However, in practice these layers are neither continuous nor abrupt due to poor nucleation conditions and the formation of interfacial layers. The effects of layer thickness, deposition rate and substrate stoichiometry have been previously reported. In this work we will compare the effects of a single deposition technique and multiple depositions on the morphology of indium layers grown on (100) CdTe substrates. The electrical characteristics and specific resistivities of the indium contacts were measured, and their relationships with indium layer morphologies were established.Semi-insulating (100) CdTe samples were cut from Bridgman grown single crystal ingots. The surface of the as-cut slices were mechanically polished using 5μm, 3μm, 1μm and 0,25μm diamond abrasive respectively. This was followed by two minutes immersion in a 5% bromine-methanol solution.

Electrical impedance is one of the most frequently used parameters for characterizing material properties. The resistive and capacitive characteristics of tissue may be revealed by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as electrical biopsy. This technique could be used to monitor the sequelae after irradiation. In this study, rat intestinal tissues after irradiation were assessed by EIS system based on commercially available integrated circuits. The EIS results were fitted to a resistor-capacitor circuit model to determine the electrical properties of the tissue. The variations in the electrical characteristics of the tissue were compared to radiation injury score (RIS) by morphological and histological findings. The electrical properties, based on receiver operation curve (ROC) analysis, strongly reflected the histological changes with excellent diagnosis performance. The results of this study suggest that electrical biopsy reflects histological changes after irradiation. This approach may significantly augment the evaluation of tissue after irradiation. It could provide rapid results for decision making in monitoring radiation sequelae prospectively.

1. The electrical properties of the membrane of an identified locust motor neurone, the fast extensor tibiae in the metathoracic ganglion, have been investigated to determine: the distribution of excitable and inexcitable membrane; the impulse initiation zone; and the conduction velocity of the spike in the ganglion and in the axon. 2. The waveform of extracellularly recorded spikes indicates that the transition from inactive to active membrane occurs along the region of the neurite which bears many arborizations within the neuropile. 3. Measurements of the delay between orthodromically or antidromically evoked spikes, recorded at the soma and other points along the neurite, place the impulse initiating zone close to the transition between active and inactive membrane. 4. Within the ganglion, the spike is conducted at different velocities over different parts of the neurite. The average velocity within the ganglion is, however, only about a seventh of that in the axon (0.54 m.s−1 against 4.1 m.s−1).

(1) Thermal acclimation of the Fi neurone does not appear to result from changes in the chemical composition of the haemolymph. This is deduced from the lack of effect on the electrical characteristics of control neurones of either pooled haemolymph from acclimated individuals, or variations in the experimental salines made in accordance with haemolymph analyses. (2) Changes in [Ca]0 tended to act cooperatively with temperature shifts to induce alterations in the electrical properties of the neurone, notably to increase excitability and lower membrane resistance. (3) Warm acclimation was associated with increased resting conductance of the neuronal membrane to sodium and potassium, whereas chloride conductance appeared little affected.

ABSTRACTExplosive Crystallization occurs in cw laser annealing on a-Si films deposited on glass substrates at laser scan speeds higher than 30 cm/sec. Optical, structural and electrical properties of the crystallized films at various laser scan speeds confirm the existence of two kinds of explosive growth depending on the state of crystallinity of the starting material.
