After four hours of annealing at 700°C for each of the three pellet samples, humidity-sensing tests were conducted. Throughout the whole range of relative humidity percent (15-90%RH) at room temperature, it was observed that the electrical resistance of all three nanomaterials reduced steadily. Powder x-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed on the nanomaterial pellets to determine their crystallinity, structural phases (gross crystal structure), and surface morphology. Both the Scherer's approach and the Williamson and Hall's method were used to determine the crystallite size of the three samples, CZ-1, CZ-2, and CZ-3. The CZ-3 sample annealed at 700°C had the lowest crystallite size (36 nm) and the highest humidity sensitivity of the three samples.","PeriodicalId":49156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ovonic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design of the cavity involved determining the cavity length, selecting the material for the cavity spacer, and carefully placing the quantum wells within the cavity to achieve maximum overlap with the electric field. In our case, the choice of the dielectric Bragg mirror with SiO2/TiO2 layers helps in achieving high reflectivity and low optical losses. The quantum wells are strategically placed within the cavity to ensure maximum overlap with the electric field. This allows for efficient carrier injection and recombination, leading to laser emission. The specific composition of the quantum wells, In0.54Ga0.46As0.99P0.01 / In0.75Ga0.25As0.55P0.45, indicates the proportions of indium (In), gallium (Ga), arsenic (As), and phosphorus (P) in the material. These compositions are chosen to achieve the desired electronic band structure and emission wavelength. By studying the eigen frequency and internal standing waves in our designed laser cavity, our aim is to understand the resonant modes and behavior of light within the device. This knowledge is crucial for optimizing the laser's performance and improving its efficiency for various applications.","PeriodicalId":49156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ovonic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135614423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
