Our investigation showed that our samples are p-type conducting. The mobility of charge carrier, holes and electrons was found. The effective masses of the majority and minority carriers were deduced. Also the diffusion coefficient, relaxation time and diffusion length for electrons and holes were calculated. In addition to these pounced parameters, the efficiency of the thermoelectric element (figure of merit) was evaluated which leads to better application in energy conservation technique.","PeriodicalId":16197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88731011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of front contact probe geometry in a CdTe/CdS solar cell on the photovoltaic performance is presented in this study. A 5 × 5 mm 2 cell was fabricated prior to revealing the front contact surrounding it by removing both CdTe and CdS layers. Gold was evaporated on the revealed front contact to create and test five different contact configurations. In addition, each configuration was investigated at four different distances from the edges of the cell itself so that the effect of distance between the probes could be studied. It was found that using metal configurations in the front contact reduced the series resistance of the device more than using a conventional point probe. The effect of such configurations on the series resistance measured under dark conditions is also presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":16197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-science","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88313809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work involves the study of the corrosion inhibition of steel in petroleum medium using alcoholic extracted of Sweet Clover leaves SC with four concentrations of extracted (1, 3, 5 and 7mL/L) at four temperatures over the range 50 – 80 o C. Inhibition efficiency IE% results show that 3 mL/L the best concentration which they gave efficiencies in the range of 73.2–83.9%. Thermodynamic functions of adsorption processes were calculated from experimental polarization data and the interpretation of the results reveals that Ficus carica extract SC extract obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization curves indicate that SC extract is a mixed type inhibitor. The small values of K ads refer to physical adsorption process. The values of Δ G oads , Δ H oads and Δ S oads were negative indicating the spontaneous and exothermic adsorption process as well as SC extract retained the metal ions and reducing the dissolution of steel and the activated complex in the rate determining step denotes an association rather than a dissociation step.","PeriodicalId":16197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-science","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85802500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, concern about chromium as an environmental pollutant has been escalating due to its build up to toxic levels in the environment such as surface water, groundwater, soil and air as a result of various industrial activities. Chromium often occurs in the trivalent (III, chromic) or hexavalent (VI, chromate) states under natural environmental conditions. The removal of Cr (VI) which is known toxic and carcinogenic from industrial wastewater by different green sorbent materials was investigated. Wood bark, coir and peat were used. The different chromium concentration, contact time and adsorption–desorption properties on the selectivity of the removal process was investigated. The Langmuir isotherm was applicable to the adsorption process. In batch method wood bark was the best sorbent among the percentage of chromium desorbed about 9 % at 50 mg/l initial Cr (VI) concentration. The flow through systems of wood bark was applied to found residence times. Wood bark completely retained chromium from solutions with sufficient amount and longer contact times. The data obtained is applicable to refer to a large scale of purifications systems.","PeriodicalId":16197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-science","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80177776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various mixtures were prepared by using a water/solid ratio (W/S) of 0.28 (by weight). Two ratios of Co ions (2.0 and 3.0% by weight of the solid binder) were used by adding to the mixing water. Hydration characteristics of the different cement pastes were investigated via the examination of chemically combined water content, compressive strength, X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal analysis (DTA/TGA). Leaching of cobalt ions from various hardened cement pastes was examined. The results showed that cobalt chloride retards cement hydration through the formation of plumbate salt. The obtained results of leaching showed a high degree of immobilization of Co ions in the various cement pastes. Moreover, partial replacement of OPC by MK is more efficient than GBFS.","PeriodicalId":16197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84211912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
