Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Design and Characterization of Au/In4< Field Effect Transistors(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Khusayfan, Najla M.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Khanfar, Hazem K.In the current work, the structural and electrical properties of the In4Se3/Ga2S3 interfaces are investigated. The X-ray analysis which concern the structural evolutions that is associated with the substrate type has shown that the hexagonal kappa-In2Se3 and the selenium (rhombohedral) rich orthorhombic In4Se3 phases of InSe are grown onto glass and gold substrates, respectively, at substrate of temperature of 300 degrees C in a vacuum media. The coating of the kappa-In2Se3 and of In4Se3 with amorphous layer of Ga2S3 is accompanied with uniform strain. The In4Se3/Ga2S3 interface is found to be of attractive quantum confinement features as it exhibited a conduction and valence band offsets of 0.20 and 1.86 eV, respectively. When the Au/In4Se3/Ga2S3 interface was contacted with carbon metallic point contact, it reveals a back to back Schottky hybrid device that behaves typically as metal-oxidesemiconductor field effect transition (MOSFET). The depletion capacitance analysis of this device revealed built in voltage values of 1.91 and 1.64 V at the Au and C sides, respectively. The designed MOSFET which is characterized in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80 GHz is observed to exhibit, resonance-anti-resonance phenomena associated with negative capacitance effect in a wide domain of frequency that nominate it for applications in electronic circuits as parasitic capacitance minimizer, bus switching speed enhancer and low pass/high pass filter at microwave frequencies.

F.; Al Garni, S. E.In this study, the effects of the sandwiching of a 70 nm thick ytterbium film between two layers of CdS on the structural, compositional, optical and electrical properties are investigated. The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray, visible light spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy techniques are employed to achieve these effects. It was observed that, the nanosandwiching of Yb between two 500 nm thick films of CdS enhances the crystalline nature of the films without altering the lattice parameters. Particularly, the grain size is increased by 25%, the strain, the defect density and the stacking faults are reduced by 31.5%, 43.7% and 25%, respectively. Optically, the Yb nanosandwiching is observed to enhance the visible light absorbability by at least 2.7 times of the whole range and by 8 times at 1.64 eV. The enhancement of the absorbability is associated with shrinking in the band gap and more interband states. In addition, an increase in the real part of the dielectric constant by 54% is observed when Yb was nanosandwiched in the CdS structure. The modeling of the imaginary part allowed exploring the electron-plasmon interaction parameters. A remarkable increase in the drift mobility from 281 to 996 cm2/Vs associated with plasmon frequency enhancement from 0.84 to 1.38 GHz was determined upon Yb nanosandwiching. The effectiveness of this modeling was verified from the impedance spectra in the frequency domain of 0.01-1.80 GHz, which revealed wave trapping property of ideal values of return loss at notch frequency of 1.35 GHz. Furthermore, the electrical resistivity measurements on the studied samples have shown that the presence of Yb reduced the electrical resistivity and shifts the donor level closer to the conduction band of CdS. The studies nominate the nanosandwiched CdS for use in optical and microwave technologies as dual devices. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

The proposed formulation permits the evaluation of all the elements of impedance and input motion matrices at a single step in terms of system matrices of boundary element method without solving any special problem, such as, unit displacement or load problem, as required by conventional methods. It further eliminates the complicated procedure and the need for using scattering analysis in the evaluation of input motion functions. The formulation is explained by considering a simple interaction problem involving an inclusion embedded in an infinite poroviscoelastic medium, which is under the influence of a dynamic excitation induced by seismic waves. In the formulation, an impedance relation is established for this interaction problem, suitable for performing the interaction analysis by substructure method, which permits carrying out the analysis for inclusion and its surrounding medium separately. The inclusion is first treated as poroviscoelastic, then viscoelastic and finally rigid, where the formulation in each of these cases is obtained consecutively as a special case of the previous one. It is remarkable to note that, a cavity problem where there is a hole in place of inclusion can be also considered within the framework of the present formulation. The formulation is assessed by applying it to some sample problems. The extension of the formulation to other types of interaction problems, such as, multi-inclusion problems, the analyses of foundations supported by a poroviscoelastic medium, etc., will be the subject of a separate study.
