We report experimental results on current–voltage characteristics of Au-Ti/n-Si/Au-Ti devices made on unintentionally n-doped silicon, which depend dramatically on temperature and external magnetic field. While such devices show Ohmic behavior in the temperature range 154–300 K, space-charge effect dominates at high bias voltages in the temperature range 77–154 K. In the later case, external magnetic field may increase its breakdown voltage, thus inducing large positive magnetoresistance similar to those reported by other groups.

AbstractDeformations of nematic layers caused by magnetic field allow determination of the elastic constants of liquid crystal. In this paper, we simulated numerically the deformations of planar and homeotropic nematic layers. The flexoelectric properties of the nematic and presence of ions were taken into account. Our aim was to show the influence of flexoelectricity on the results of the real measurement of the elastic constants k33 and k11. In these simulations, we calculated the optical phase difference ΔΦ between the ordinary and extraordinary rays of light passing through the layer placed between crossed polarizers as a function of the magnetic field induction B. One of the elastic constants can be calculated from the magnetic field threshold for deformation. The ratio k33/k11 can be found by means of fitting theoretical ΔΦ(B) dependence to the experimental results. The calculations reveal that the flexoelectric properties influence the deformations induced by the external magnetic field. In the case of highly pure samples, this may lead to false results of measurement of the elastic constants ratio k33/k11. This influence can be reduced if the nematic material contains ions of sufficiently high concentration. These results show that the flexoelectric properties may play an important role, especially in well purified samples.

Abstract The photo-generated currents of GaAs solar cells with different lengths of space charge region are obtained and analyzed in this study. The enhanced absorption coefficient in the space charge region is adopted to calculate the photo-generated current based on the solar cell physics theory. The calculated currents coincide well with the experimental currents both under single wavelength incidence and solar spectrum irradiation conditions.

The aim of this work is to present a study of the recombination velocities at the junction initiating the shortcircuit (Sfsc) and limiting the open circuit (Sfoc) of a silicon solar cell under magnetic field in the static regime. From the continuity equation, the density of minority charge carriers in the base, the photocurrent density, and the phototension are determined. The study of the photocurrent density and the phototension, as a function of the junction recombination velocity, makes it possible to determine the recombination velocities at the junction initiating the short-circuit and limiting the open circuit respectively. From the profile of the variation of the photocurrent density and of the phototension as a function of the junction recombination velocity, a technique for determining the junction recombination velocities initiating the short circuit situation and limiting the open circuit is presented.
