However, their sensitivity is limited due to structural defects and morphology. Herein, we present the fabrication and performance of UV photodetectors based silver (Ag)-doped ZnO nanorods. To improve the performance of UV photodetectors based on ZnO nanorods, in terms of sensitivity and current gain, we explored the impact of low Ag doping on the morphology and optical properties of these nanorods. The ZnO nanorods were grown on glass substrates using a hydrothermal process with varying Ag concentration. The I–V characteristics of the ZnO nanorod photodetectors were analyzed under a bias of 5 V. Notably, the addition of Ag significantly improved the photodetector performance, achieving a 9840% increase in photodetection sensitivity at 375 nm under 0.19 mW/cm2 UV illumination, compared to non-doped ZnO nanorods. Furthermore, the results highlight how Ag doping alters the wavelength of peak photoresponse and reduces the rise and decay time constants of the photocurrent, thus improving device response. These findings demonstrate the potential of Ag doping to address critical limitations in ZnO-based UV photodetectors and pave the way for their integration into advanced optoelectronic applications.</div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"86 5","pages":"359 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is, therefore, crucial to better understand the time-varying magnetic field in ARs in relation to flare occurrence. Here we applied the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method to time series of various magnetic parameters derived from the observed magnetic field in the photospheric surface of a total of 236 ARs consisting of 118 flare-quiet and 118 flaring cases. As a result, the nature of multifractality in various levels was identified in all the investigated time series of solar magnetic parameters. Comparing properties of multifractality in the time series of the flare-quiet versus flaring ARs, we first found that the magnetic parameter time series of the flaring ARs tend to have a higher generalized Hurst exponent than those of the flare-quiet ARs. Through the Student’s t-test, it was also found that the distribution of generalized Hurst exponents is statistically different between the magnetic parameter time series of the flare-quiet and flaring ARs. In addition, for most of the magnetic parameters under investigation, the multifractal spectra derived from the relevant time series exhibit a higher degree of left truncation in the case of the flare-quiet ARs compared to the flaring ARs. These results support the fact reported in previous studies that the magnetic field in flaring ARs is more dynamic in terms of its rapid and large variations prior to and around times of flare occurrence. We expect that further detailed analysis of multifractality in time series of the Sun’s various physical quantities not only in the photosphere but also in the upper atmosphere may help us to better understand the fundamental physics of solar eruptive phenomena.</div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"86 5","pages":"452 - 472"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the growth of defect-free Si1-xGex layers using ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD) with a focus on optimizing growth parameters, including temperature, gas ratios, and boron doping levels, to achieve high Ge concentrations and smooth surfaces. Growth experiments were conducted across temperatures from 450 to 700 ℃, with optimal conditions observed at 530 ℃ and a Si2H6 gas ratio of 1:4.2, producing a defect-free Si1-xGex layer with 46 at% Ge. Temperature effects revealed that managing hydrogen desorption rates were critical for enhancing Ge incorporation while minimizing defects. Strain-induced roughness was mitigated through precise control of Si2H6 ratios, essential at high Ge levels. Boron incorporation was adjusted using diborane (B2H6) flow rates, where an optimal rate of 50 sccm resulted in a boron concentration of 2.7 × 1020 atoms/cm3, achieving a balance between dopant levels and surface smoothness.

Furthermore, the investigation of entropy generation may indicate options for increasing heat transport inside the microchannel. Entropy addresses the particular arrangement of particles and the principles of entropy as they pertain to a specific combination of measurements for temperature, pressure, and volume inside a microchannel of the system. Applications of entropy generation in nuclear energy: despite the substantial energy output of nuclear reactions, the earth has a finite supply of materials essential for these processes. The modeled governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the aid of similarity variables. The obtained ODEs are solved numerically by employing Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg’s fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) scheme. The influence of relevant parameters on Bejan number, entropy generation, velocity, and temperature is discussed graphically. The obtained outcomes are compared with the earlier available results.
