It has been found that photodiode samples made on the basis of silicon with a higher resistivity are more prone to the formation of inversion channels at the oxide-semiconductor interface. Also, the dark current and responsivity of such photodiodes reach saturation at a lower voltage. It has also been shown that silicon-based photodiodes with a longer lifetime of non-basic charge carriers have lower dark current values. It has been shown that products with crystallographic orientation [111] have a much lower density of surface dislocations after technological operations than in the case of silicon with orientation [100]. It was also found that materials with different crystallographic orientations have different phosphorus diffusion coefficients. It has been experimentally established that a silicon oxide film grows faster on the surface of crystallographic orientation silicon [111] than on the surface of crystallographic orientation silicon [100]. This is due to the difference in the surface density of silicon atoms inherent in different crystallographic planes.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"55 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187455","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}

It is essential that, in order to guarantee the secure operation of aerospace machinery, the failure mechanisms be identified and the operational durability of critical structural components be improved as quickly as possible. New aviation materials have been developed in modern years. In an aviation engine, engine oil lubricates, cools, washes, maintains against rust, decreases sound, and accelerates. Most important is lubrication. All mechanical components would burn out if not maintained. The aim of this work is to minimize costs by extending the operational life of aircraft components (mechanical and motor parts) and enhancing fuel mileage and flying distance. Based on the importance of the inspiration on magnetohydrodynamic Aluminum Oxide-Cobalt hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching surface (SS) in the existence of porous medium, and thermal radiation are investigated. In this model we used Engine oil mixed with Aluminum Oxide and Cobalt nanoparticles. By using the suitable self-similarity variables, the PDE is transformed into ODEs. After then, the dimensionless equations are solved by using the Maple built in BVP Midrich scheme. Graphs and tables explain how the operational factors affect fluid flow efficiency. Compared to nanofluids, hybrid nanofluids have a better heat transfer rate.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"54 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187477","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}

Measurement were taken for seven days and the following data where obtained 83±2.19 Bq/m3,80±3.69 Bq/m3,86±5.57 Bq/m3,84±1.59 Bq/m3,82±3.59 Bq/m3,81±4.89 Bq/m3 and 85 ±5.59 Bq/m3.The average radon(222Rn) concentration level was found to be 83 ± 3.87 Bq/m3 with a geometric mean of 82 ± 3.54 Bq/m3. It was observed that the radon concentration was below the reference level of 100 Bq/m3 recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the current exposure of members of the public to natural radiation is not critical, the situation could change abruptly when other activities commenced. The excess life time cancer risk calculated for 70 years, 60 years, 50 years, 40 years and 30 years were 1.72 × 10−3,1.65× 10−3,1.39× 10−3,1.44× 10−3 and 0.69× 10−3 respectively. The calculated values of the excess life time cancer risk are all higher than the set limit of 0.029 × 10−3 by International Commission on Radiological Protection. However, there are no observed cases of lung cancer epidemic in this Centre. Therefore, it is advised to use fans and effective ventilation techniques to reduce radon levels. Identifying the regions of the country where people are most at risk from radon exposure should be the main goal of any national radon policy.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"66 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187526","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}

There is some violation in the spectra of Raman scattering of light samples of silicon doped with lutetium in comparison with the original sample. It was found that the intensity of Raman scattering of doped samples is 2-3 times higher than the scattering from silicon. The comparison is carried out for the intensities associated with the intensities of the single-phonon line of the silicon substrate. This effect of the Raman spectra in the range 930 cm‑1 – 1030 cm–1 appearing in this range is similar to the data reduction for multiphonon propagation on silicon. For the obtained images (n-Si and p-Si), the bands in the atomic range of combinatorial scattering have a mixed broad and oval background in the range from 623 cm-1 to 1400 cm-1.

The characterization techniques employed for this study encompass X-ray diffraction and IR-Fourier spectrometry. It is noteworthy that the degree of crystallinity exhibited by the silicon lattice, subject to the introduction of Zn and Ni impurities, is contingent upon the methodology employed for impurity incorporation. The results of this study reveal a distinctive trend in the optical properties of these doped silicon samples. Specifically, upon the introduction of Zn atoms into silicon that was pre-doped with Ni (Si), there is a concomitant reduction in the concentration of optically active oxygen atoms. Remarkably, this alteration in the dopant composition leads to a marked enhancement in the transparency of the silicon crystal. In stark contrast, when the doping sequence is reversed (Si Ni>), an opposing effect is observed, resulting in a diminishment of crystal transparency. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between the introduced impurity atoms, the dopant sequence, and their collective impact on the optical properties of the silicon matrix. Such insights contribute to our comprehension of the nuanced behavior of doped silicon and have implications for applications requiring tailored optical characteristics in semiconductor materials.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"58 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187594","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 simulated structure comprises a Cesium Tin-Germanium Triiodide (CsSn0.5Ge0.5I3) absorber layer sandwiched between Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) and Cu2O layers. The main objective of this study is to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) by optimizing the thicknesses of each layer. To validate our simulation results, we compare them with experimental data obtained from existing literature, and we observe a satisfactory agreement between the two. Our findings reveal that the maximum PCE of 28% can be achieved by utilizing specific thickness values for each layer. Specifically, the optimal thicknesses are determined to be 20 nm for the IGZO layer, 200 nm for the Cu2O layer, and 700 nm for the perovskite layer. These optimized thickness values lead to a significant improvement in the PCE of the solar cell, reaching 29%. This achievement highlights the effectiveness of our proposed triple absorber layer configuration and demonstrates its potential to enhance the overall performance of the perovskite-based solar cell.
