Vol 1, No 1 (2019): Comparative Study of Electron Mobility Response in Flexible Thin Film Transistors under Mechanical Bending

Authors:-Abhishek Aradhya P, Girish A Koushik

Abstract:-In this paper, the change in the performance characteristics with various mechanical bending conditions for different flexible Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs) is compared. Bending strains induce modifications of the localized density of states (DOS) which in turn cause changes in the electrical characteristics of the TFTs. The change in the characteristics is estimated as a function of curvature radius of the channel. For amorphous silicon, field-effect mobility decreases by bending, e.g., ~11% with a radius at R = 30 mm and a knee voltage increases, while a threshold voltage remains the same. While the mobility, threshold voltage, and sub threshold slope of IGZO TFTs remained essentially unchanged over the entire bending range, the electrical performance parameters of ZnO TFTs were strongly degraded by bending. For ZnO TFTs bent to a radius of 10 mm, the mobility decreased by more than two orders of magnitude.

Vol 1, No 1 (2019): Structural Magnetic and Dielectric Behaviors of Y3+ Substituted NiZn Ferrites

Authors: M. A. Hossain, M. N. I. Khan, S. S. Sikder

Abstract: The compositions Ni0.60Zn0.40-xYxFe2O4 [x = 0-.05, 0.10 and 0.15] were prepared by using solid state reaction technique. The XRD analysis of Ni-Zn sample shows formulation of cubic spinel structure with no extra peak. With substitution of rare earth Yttrium ions (Y3 ) in to the Ni-Zn ferrites show additional peaks other than spinel structure and corresponding to a second orthoferrite phase. Lattice parameters of the composition Ni0.60Zn0.40-xYxFe2O4 [x = 0-.05, 0.10 and 0.15] series slightly decrease with increasing x-content. The bulk density is found to decrease minorly with increasing Y 3 contents. The increase in density and grain growth of the samples may be attributed to the liquid phase at constant sintering temperature. Saturation magnetization, Ms was observed and was found to increase with increasing, Y3+ contents. Initial permeability decreases with the increasing of Y 3 ions. Quality factor signifies the merit of the material from the application point of view.

Saturation magnetization, Ms was observed and was found to increase with increasing, Y3+ contents. Initial permeability decreases with the increasing of Y 3 ions. Quality factor signifies the merit of the material from the application point of view. From these three series of samples are seen that the real part of initial permeability almost constant up to 4MHz. The AC resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. The dielectric constant is found to decrease continuously with increasing frequency and remains almost constant at higher frequency range. The variation of electrical resistivity and dielectric properties is explained of Fe2+/Fe3+ ionic.

Authors: M. A. Gofur, M. A. Hossain, S. S. Sikder, D. K. Saha

Abstract: The present work is focused on the influence of substitutions and sintering additive are V2O5 on structural, transport and electromagnetic properties of Ni-Cu-Zn ferrites. A series of ferrite samples of the composition Ni0.28Cu0.10Zn0.62Fe2O4 + x wt.% the concentration sintering additives were varies 0.2wt.% to 0.8wt.% for V2O5 were prepared by using the solid state reaction technique sintered at 1150oC with 6 hours holding time. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that all the samples of the series crystalline in single phase cubic spinel structure. Lattice parameter of Ni0.28Cu0.10Zn0.62Fe2O4 + x wt. % V2O5 series are slightly decrease with increase x content. The average grain size of the samples increases with increase of doped V2O5 additive content. Curie temperature (Tc) and saturation magnetization (Ms) are slightly increases with increasing V2O5 doped ferrite samples up to x = 0.6 after decreasing. The magnetization process all the samples are soft magnetic behavior of magnetic materials. Initial permeability (µi) increases with increase doped V2O5 both sintering temperature attaining sample maximum value for x = 0.4 and with higher quality factor after decreasing. This enhancement of permeability may be correlated with improved microstructural features. The µi shows the flat profile from 1 kHz to 4MHz indicating frequency stability for all the ferrite samples. The improved electromagnetic properties of the composition might be attributed to better densification and visible grain size. DC resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. The dielectric constant is found to decrease continuously with increasing frequency and remain almost constant at higher frequency range. The dielectric behavior of the experiment ferrite samples explained on the basis of the mechanism of the dielectric polarization and conduction process.
