This research was funded by, and implemented within, a UK national research organisation, while the author was the KE and Impact Evaluation Manager responsible for assessing impact on a £15m UK government-funded research programme. This... more
Anatase TiO2 displaying dual morphologies were synthesized with a simple chemical route via a single step. A strong correlation between the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device performance and the obtained dual morphologies are... more
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) are two leading semiconductor materials used in the fabrication of thin film solar cells of relatively high power conversion efficiency and low manufacturing cost. Numerical simulations... more
In order to interpret the electrical characteristics of fabricated Au/ZnO/n-Si structures as a function of frequency and voltage well, their capacitance– voltage (C–V) and conductance–voltage (G/x–V) measurements were carried out in a... more
The need for tighter control over film uniformity, conformality, and properties at decreasing thicknesses was met by a gradual evolution from physical vapor deposition (PVD), to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and eventually atomic layer... more
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films were deposited on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis technique. Aqueous solution of ammonium vanadate with 0.1 M concentration was used to deposit V2O5 thin films at different substrate... more
Au/graphene oxide (GO)-doped PrBaCoO nanoceramic/n-Si capacitors were fabricated and their admittance measurements were carried out between 1 kHz and 1 MHz at room temperature. Experimental results showed that the capacitance (C) and... more
The dielectric properties of Au/(1 % graphene doped-Ca1.9Pr0.1Co4Ox)/n-Si structures were investigated by the impedance spectroscopy method including capacitance– voltage (C–V) and conductance–voltage (G/x– V) measurements in the... more
In this study, the dielectric properties and alternating-current (ac) conductivity of Au/(PVA/Ni,Zn acetates)/n-Si Schottky diodes (SDs) were determined by the measurement impedance technique. Dielectric properties and electrical... more
In order to compare the main electrical parameters such as ideality factor (nn), barrier height (BH) (ΦI–VΦI–V), series (RsRs) and shunt (RshRsh) resistances and energy density distribution profile of surface states (NssNss), the Au/nn-Si... more
In this study, a new method to synthesize neodymium doped ceria ceramic nanopowders by the electrospinning of the hybrid polymers solution of their composite precursor was put forward. Calcined and sintered nanopowders were characterized... more
In order to see effects of interfacial (with and without different graphene (GP) + Ca1.9Pr0.1Co4Ox-doped PVA) layer on the electrical characteristics of conventional Au/n-Si (MS) contacts. Therefore, Au/(GP + Ca1.9Pr0.1Co4Ox-doped... more
We report the results of direct measurements and a theoretical investigation of the in-plane effective mass in the two-dimensional electron gas of nominally undoped AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with a different degree of quantum... more
In this review we describe some new approaches in the surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) performed in the metal-insulator-semiconductor operation mode, which are related to open questions in the SPS characterization of... more
A synthetic method is presented for the production of isotetrasilane, a higher order perhydridosilane, with the purity and volume necessary for use in extensive studies of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of epitaxial silicon (e-Si)... more
In this paper, the potential distribution for symmetric double gate stack-oxide junctionless field effect transistor (DGS-JLFET) in subthreshold region has been observed. Using the potential distribution, current vs voltage (Ids vs. Vgs)... more
Strong electrophilic natured acetaldehyde present in various food and beverages damages genetic material and induces diseases like atherosclerosis. Detection and quanti fi cation of such a carcinogen poses a major challenge. In this... more
Infrared spectroscopy is used to compare the Si/SiO2 interfaces created by thermal oxidation of a standard Si(100) substrate and of an ordered, (1x1) Si(100) substrate. The thermal oxides (approximately 25 Angstrom) examined in this study... more
Fabrication of ZnS thin films having similar stoichiometry at different substrate temperatures (TS) e.g. 200 C, 300 C and 400 C by means of RF magnetron sputtering method is presented. The films grown at TS of 200 C are in cubic... more
Zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films in zinc-blende (ZB) and wurtzite (W) phases have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. 150 MeV Ni ion beam irradiation has been carried out at different fluences ranging from 1011 to 1013 ions/cm2 at... more
Solar Energy is an everlasting source of energy with minimal carbon footprint. However, due to lack of reliability and consistency it needs to be converted into more reliable and effective means that can be used to provide energy on... more
