Electrospinning parameters such as applied voltage and flow rate are optimized and fibers of diameter 200-300 nm are obtained, as characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Further, ternary blends are prepared by increasing the PEDOT:PSS content with respect to PEO and PVA, and uniform fibers with diameter of less than 200 nm are obtained. Fiber mats are analyzed using contact angle measurement and change in hydrophilicity with respect to increase in PEDOT:PSS concentration is studied.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126423994","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}

Prior to the growth, Ag films were annealed at 100 and 250 °C. Annealing at 100 °C lead to the formation of smaller size of Ag nanoparticles with higher particle number density facilitating the vertical growth of higher density of ZnO NRs with high aspect ratio. The observation of predominant (002) plane from X-ray diffraction confirmed the preferential growth of ZnO nanorods on Ag films. The shape, orientation, diameter and number particles density of ZnO NRs are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra reveals the enhancement of NBE emission of ZnO NRs due to the transfer of electrons from Ag to ZnO and the resonance coupling of surface plasmon energy with ZnO emission. The evolution of multiple, low intense side bands in visible rsgion are due to shallow trap levels. Moreover, the absence of broad defect level emission peak indicating the high optical quality of ZnO NRs which could be applicable for UV LEDs.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127689175","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 effective barrier height between SiC Fermi level and SiO2 conduction band edge was extracted by fitting the DT model to the experimental gate oxide leakage current density vs. gate oxide electric field curve.

The comparison of the gate material engineering on CSDG MOSFET has been done on the normal CSDG MOSFET incorporating dual materials at gate electrode, using the ATLAS 3D device simulator.

Scattering properties of the nanoparticles have been studied experimentally. It is seen that larger nanoparticles have a higher scattering efficiency, which validates the simulation results obtained using Lumerical FDTD Solutions. As silica nanoparticles are essentially lossless in the AM1.5G solar spectrum, they will be (for solar cell applications) an alternative, as scatterers, to lossy metal nanoparticles. Their scattering efficiency further enhances upon them embedding in a medium. Two possible configurations of integrating silica nanoparticles with amorphous silicon solar cells are also presented.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129453947","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 JL SOI SONOS exhibits larger memory window within a specified programming time as compared with the JL bulk type.

On the other hand, the variability in the orientation of the ellipsoids can have significant effects on the chiro-optical response. These variability issues need to be taken into consideration in designing novel photonic polarization devices, as well as the optical system relevant for their investigation.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131165333","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 surface morphology, dislocation densities and crystalline quality were found to be contingent on two parameters namely, Ga flux and the RF-plasma power. It was observed that, on increasing the Ga flux at constant rf-power, the crystalline quality as well as the surface morphology of the GaN film improved. On increasing the plasma power at low Ga flux, the crystallinity of the grown homoepitaxial film further enhanced significantly, but the surface roughness slightly increased due to the formation of hexagonal islands.

Thus, it achieves a steep subthreshold slope (SS) of 13.9 mV/dec at room temperature. The various device performance parameters are investigated for the proposed structure using 2D TCAD simulations incorporating the drift-diffusion and 1-D Landau's models.
