Article Citation Count: 2Electrical characterization of Bi1.50-xYxZn0.92Nb1.5O6.92 varactors(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2014) Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Abu Muis, Khalil O.; Abu Al Rob, Osama H.; Mergen, A.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringThe electrical properties of yttrium doped bismuth zinc niobium oxide (BZN) pyrochlore ceramics are explored by means of temperature dependent electrical conductivity dielectric constant and capacitance spectra in the frequency range of 0-3 GHz. It is observed that the doped BZN exhibit a conductivity type conversion from intrinsic to extrinsic as the doping content increased from 0.04 to 0.06. The thermal energy bandgap of the intrinsic type is 3.45 eV. The pyrochlore is observed to exhibit a dielectric breakdown at 395 K. In addition, a negative capacitance (NC) spectrum with main resonance peak position of 23.2 MHz is detected. The NC effect is ascribed to the increased polarization and the availability of more free carriers in the device. When the NC signal amplitude is attenuated in the range of 0-20 dBm at 50 MHz and 150 MHz, wide tunability is monitored. Such characteristics of the Y-doped BZN are attractive for using them to cancel the positive parasitic capacitance of electronic circuits. The canceling of parasitic capacitance improves the high frequency performance of filter inductors and reduces the common mode noise of the resonance signal.Article Citation Count: 6Enhancements of Light Absorbability, Optical Conductivity, and Terahertz Cutoff Frequency in Stacked Layers of Selenium via Ag Nanoslabs Sandwiching(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2019) Qasrawı, Atef Fayez Hasan; Abu Al Rob, Osama H.; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringHerein, the effects of insertion of Ag layer of thickness of 100 nm between two stacked layers of selenium are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and optical spectrophotometry techniques. While the structural analysis shows the amorphous nature of growth of the stacked layers of Se, the morphology analysis shows the formation of nanorods and nanowires that exhibit lengths and diameters in the ranges of 1.5-2.5 mu m and 36-146 nm, respectively. The optical spectroscopy analysis shows that the presence of Ag between stacked layers of selenium enhances the light absorbability, increases the optical conductivity, and widens the range of the terahertz cutoff frequency. In addition, Ag layers increase the drift mobility from 15.07 to 35.64 cm(2) Vs(-1) and extend the plasmon frequency domain of stacked layers of selenium from 0.45-5.60 to 0.62-5.90 GHz. The calculated optical conductivity parameters and the spectral analysis of the terahertz cutoff frequency that vary in the range of 0.35-13.20 THz indicate the applicability of the Ag sandwiched selenium stacked layers as terahertz cavities suitable for visible-light communications as band-pass filters.
