In this work, a plasma jet has been generated with capillary tube having external diameter 4.0 mm and thickness 1.0 mm. Argon has been used as a working gas. The electrical characteristics of this device like instantaneous power, and discharge current have been measured. The effects of applied voltage on the dissipated power of the device have been investigated. The current is measured with the current probe whereas the voltage is measured from the locally fabricated voltage divider having ratio 1201:1. The electron density has been found out using power balance method. In addition, the power consumption during the discharge has also been studied with the help of Lissajous Figures. The calculated power consumption has been compared with other manual as well as I-V plots.

ABSTRACTStructural and electrical characterization of laser recrystallized LPCVD silicon films on amorphous substrates using a shaped cw laser beam have been performed. In comparing the results to data obtained using a circular beam, it was found that a significant increase in grain size can be achieved and that the surface morphology of the shaped beam recrystallized material was much smoother. It was also found that whereas circular beam recrystallized material has a random grain structure, shaped beam material is highly oriented with a <100> texture. Finally the electrical characteristics of the recrystallized film were very good when measured in directions parallel to the grain boundaries.

This paper describes an experimental work on the electrical characterization of commercial LED of different colors and their photoelectric effect. A research work has been carried out to develop the experimental measurement in order to show the presence of a photovoltaic effect on LEDs. For this purpose, we measured the electrical characteristics of individual LED and studied their light intensities using a pyranometer EPLEY. This work focused mainly on red, green and yellowLEDs. Moreover, we have implemented an experimental system for the measurement of sensitivity of different LEDs depending on the power of light from a light source. A comparison was made between theoretical model and experimental results.

In this study, we would like to develop a portable round argon atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (APPJ) which can be applied for general use of bacteria inactivation. The APPJ was characterized electrically and optically, which include measurements of absorption power, gas temperature and optical properties of plasma generated species. Measured OH* number density at 5 mm downstream was estimated to be 5.8 × 1015 cm−3 and the electron density and electron temperature were estimated to be 2.4 × 1015 cm−3 and 0.34 eV, respectively, in the discharge region. This APPJ was demonstrated to effectively inactivate E. coli within seconds of treatment, which shows its great potential in the future use of general bacteria inactivation and sterilization.

AbstractDiatoms are unicellular, photosynthetic microalgae that live in marine and freshwater environments. The cell walls of diatoms are composed of biosilica and have exceedingly hierarchical ornate nanostructures. Consequently, these nanostructures have long been regarded as the paradigm for future silica nanotechnology. We have coated diatom Pinnularia sp. biosilica with a thin film of CdS using a chemical bath deposition technique. Possible uses for these CdS coated diatoms include the development of new nanodevice fabrication techniques and optoelectronic applications. Electron microscopy techniques were utilized to study their morphologies. Their electrical characteristics were investigated using an Agilent 4156C precision semiconductor parameter analyzer and a Cascade probe station. The CdS coating was found to be dense, adherent and nanostructured. The diatoms coated with CdS exhibited both metallic and semiconductor diode behavior.
