The electroluminescence (EL) studies on the aluminum-doped nanoporous silicon (NPSi:Al) have been conducted. Nanoporous silicon (NPSi) layers have been prepared by anodically etching the unpolished p-type Si[100] wafer with surface resistivity of 4–8 Ω cm-1 in hydrofluoric solution at 1:1...

Boron-doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:B:H) thin films have been deposited by radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (r.f. PECVD) with a frequency of 13.56 MHz at room temperature using pure methane as a precursor of carbon source mixed with hydrogen (H2) as a carrier...

We have studied the influence of the methane gas (CH4) flow rate on the composition and structural and electrical properties of nitrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:N) films grown by surface wave microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (SWMP-CVD) using Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray...

Nitrogenated diamond-like carbon films have been deposited on glass and p-type Si (100) substrates by radio frequency (r.f.) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a frequency of 13.56 MHz at room temperature using CH4 as precursor of carbon source and H2 as a carrier gas. The...

Amorphous carbon nitride (a-CNx) films were deposited on quartz substrates by newly developed surface wave microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (SWMP-CVD) of alcohol camphoric carbon plasma source at room temperature. Then the a-CNx films were heat-treated at various annealing temperatures...

Nitrogen doped amorphous carbon (a-C:N) thin films were deposited on silicon and quartz substrates by microwave surface-wave plasma chemical vapor deposition (SWMP-CVD) technique at low temperatures (100°C). We used argon (Ar), camphor dissolved in alcohol, and nitrogen (N) as carrier, source,...

The performance of a new design of non-metallic unglazed solar water heater integrated with a storage system has been studied. In this system, the collector and storage were installed in one unit. All parts of the system have been fabricated from fiberglass reinforced polyester (GFRP) using a...

Studies related to porous burner for thermoelectric (TE) power generation have mainly focused toward achieving a specific range of power output for various applications. However, detailed analyses on the performance and emission aspects of the porous burner are lacking. In addition, physical...
