    Investigation of Pb/PbS a positive Schottky junction formed on conductive glass in contact with alkaline solution

    , Article Journal of Applied Physics ; Vol. 116, issue. 3 , July , 2014 ; ISSN: 00218979 Heidaripour, A ; Jafarian, M ; Gobal, F ; Mahjani, M. G ; Miandari, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    PbS on Pb thin film (Pb/PbS) was deposited on conductive glass (CG) substrate (CG/Pb/PbS) using electrochemical techniques to investigate the Schottky junction in solution. The CG/Pb/PbS electrode was investigated by different techniques based on thermionic emission theory. Electrochemical cell consisted of the CG/Pb/PbS as a working electrode in an alkaline solution showed character of the Schottky junction. Reduction and oxidation of H2O on the CG/Pb/PbS electrode were enhanced under illumination. Water photo splitting is the main process. Study of linear sweep voltammetry at around open circuit potential (OCP) allowed proposing a model based on the Schottky junction which is charged at... 

    Thermionic Emission Properties of Oxide Based Nano-Structures

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Heydarian, Hesam (Author) ; Rashidian, Bijan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    For years, in thermionic emission, a great deal of scientists’s effort has been devoted to the search for low work function materials with high melting temperature. In this way, high brightness and long life are the central targets of emission material investigations. In addition, high current density and low power consumption are the guiding principles for some applications.
    In first part of this thesis, basic electron emission theories, fabrication methods of thermionic emission, effect of different parameters on the electron emission properties of thermionic emitters and applications of them are investigated. After setting up fabrication methods of S type cathode, in the second part... 

    Modeling the time-dependent characteristics of perovskite solar cells

    Abstract
    We proposed two different time-dependent modeling approaches for variation of device characteristics of perovskite solar cells under stress conditions. The first approach follows Sah-Noyce-Shockley (SNS) model based on Shockley–Read–Hall recombination/generation across the depletion width of pn junction and the second approach is based on thermionic emission model for Schottky diodes. The connecting point of these approaches to time variation is the time-dependent defect generation in depletion width (W) of the junction. We have fitted the two models with experimental data reported in the literature to perovskite solar cell and found out that each model has a superior explanation for...
