A series of hydrogenated silicon films near the threshold of crystallinity was prepared by very high frequency plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD)from a mixture of SiH4 diluted in H-2. The effect of hydrogen dilution ratios R = [H-2]/[SiH4] on the microstructure of the films was investigated. The photoelectronic properties and stability of the films were studied as a function of crystalline fraction. The results show that the diphasic films gain both the fine photoelectric properties like a-Si: H and high stability like mu w-Si:H. By using the diphasic silicon films as the intrinsic layer, p-i-n junction solar cells were prepared. Current-voltage (J-V) characteristics and stability of the solar cells were measured under an AM1.5 solar simulator. We observed a light-induced increase of 5.2% in the open-circuit voltage (V-oc) and a light-induced degradation of similar to 2.9% inefficiency.

We explored the deposition of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) using trisilane (Si3H8) as a gas precursor in a radiofrequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition process and studied the suitability of this material for photovoltaic applications. The impact of hydrogen dilution on the deposition rate and microstructure of the films is systematically examined. Materials deposited using trisilane are compared with that using disilane (Si2H6). It is found that when using Si3H8 as the gas precursor the deposition rate increases by a factor of similar to 1.5 for the same hydrogen dilution (R = [H-2]/[Si3H8] or [H-2]/[Si2H6])- Moreover, the structural transition from amorphous to nanocrystalline occurs at a higher hydrogen dilution level for Si3H8 and the transition is more gradual as compared with Si2H6 deposited films. Single-junction n-i-p a-Si: H solar cells were prepared with intrinsic layers deposited using Si3H8 or Si2H6. The dependence of open circuit voltage (V-oc) on hydrogen dilution was investigated. V-oc greater than 1 V can be obtained when the i-layers are deposited at a hydrogen dilution of 180 and 100 using Si3H8 and Si2H6, respectively.

This paper presents a detailed study on the effects of carbon incorporation and substrate temperature on structural, optical, and electrical properties of p-type nanocrystalline amorphous silicon films. A p-nc-SiC: H thin film with optical gap of 1.92 eV and activation energy of 0.06 eV is obtained through optimizing the plasma parameters. By using this p-type window layer, single junction diphasic nc-SiC : H/a-Si : H solar cells have been successfully prepared with a V-oc of 0.94 eV.

Hetero-junction solar cells with an me-Si: H window layer were achieved. The open voltage is increased while short current is decreased with increasing the mc-Si:H layer's thickness of emitter layer. The highest of V-oc of 597 mV has obtained. When fixed the thickness of 30 nm, changing the N type from amorphous silicon layer to micro-crystalline layer, the efficiency of the hetero-junction solar cells is increased. Although the hydrogen etching before deposition enables the c-Si substrates to become rough by AFM images, it enhances the formation of epitaxial-like micro-crystalline silicon and better parameters of solar cell can be obtained by implying this process. The best result of efficiency is 13.86% with the V-oc of 549.8 mV, J(sc) of 32.19 mA center dot cm(-2) and the cell's area of 1 cm(2).

Intrinsic nanocrystalline silicon films (nc-Si:H) were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. Films' microstructures and characteristics were studied with Raman spectroscopy and Atom Force Microscope (AFM). The electronic conductivity of nc-Si:H films was found to be 4.9 x 10(0)Omega(-1) cm(-1), which was one order of magnitude higher than the reported 10(-3)-10(-1)Omega(-1)cm(-1). And PIN solar cells with nc-Si:H film as intrinsic thin-layer (ITO/n(+)-nc-Si:H/i-nc-Si:H/p-c-Si/Ag) were researched. The cell's performances were measured, the open-circuit voltage V-oc was 534.7 mV, short-circuit current I-sc was 49.24 mA (3 cm(2)) and fill factor FF was 0.4228. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

The open circuit voltage (V-oc) of n-i-p type hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells has been examined by means of experimental and numerical modeling. The i- and p-layer limitations on V-oc are separated and the emphasis is to identify the impact of different kinds of p-layers. Hydrogenated protocrystalline, nanocrystalline and microcrystalline silicon p-layers were prepared and characterized using Raman spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), optical transmittance and activation energy of dark-conductivity. The n-i-p a-Si:H solar cells incorporated with these p-layers were comparatively investigated, which demonstrated a wide variation of V-oc from 1.042 V to 0.369 V, under identical i- and n-layer conditions. It is found that the nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) p-layer with a certain nanocrystalline volume fraction leads to a higher V-oc. The optimum p-layer material for n-i-p type a-Si:H solar cells is not found at the onset of the transition between the amorphous to mixed phases, nor is it associated with a microcrystalline material with a large grain size and a high volume fraction of crystalline phase.

A series of diphasic nanocrystalline silicon films and solar cells was prepared using different hydrogen dilution ratios of silane by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD). It was observed that after light soaking the open circuit voltage (V-oc) of the diphasic solar cells increased, while that of amorphous silicon solar cells decreased. Raman scattering spectroscopy was performed on the series of diphasic silicon films before and after light soaking. It was found that after light soaking the nanostruclures in the diphasic nanocrystalline silicon films were changed. Both the grain sizes and grain volume fraction reduced, while the grain boundary components increased. These results provide experimental evidence for the conjecture that the light-induced increase in V-oc of the diphasic nanocrystalline solar cells might be induced by the changes in the nanostructure of the intrinsic layer.

AMPS simulator, which was developed by Pennsylvania State University, has been used to simulate photovoltaic performances of nc-Si:H/c-Si solar cells. It is shown that interface states are essential factors prominently influencing open circuit voltages (V-OC) and fill factors (FF) of these structured solar cells. Short circuit current density (J(SC)) or spectral response seems more sensitive to the thickness of intrinsic a-Si:H buffer layers inserted into n(+)-nc-Si:H layer and p-c-Si substrates. Impacts of bandgap offset on solar cell performances have also been analyzed. As DeltaE(C) increases, degradation of VOC and FF owing to interface states are dramatically recovered. This implies that the interface state cannot merely be regarded as carrier recombination centres, and impacts of interfacial layer on devices need further investigation. Theoretical maximum efficiency of up to 31.17% (AM1.5,100mW/cm(2), 0.40-1.1mum) has been obtained with BSF structure, idealized light-trapping effect(R-F=0, R-B=1) and no interface states.

TCNQ电荷转移配合物作为一种新型有机材料具有很多特殊的物理、化学性质,由于它在材料研究方面的特殊贡献而成为研究热点。本论文在此领域的主要研究内容如下: 1. C18TCNQ和TMB电荷转移配合物LB膜的制备和表征 利用LB技术制备了TMB•C18TCNQ LB膜,与LB-Doping法相比省略了电子给体的液相掺杂步骤,简单、易行。研究结果表明,与TMB•C18TCNQ LB-Doping膜比较,LB膜的结构和表面形貌都发生了很大变化,LB膜中TMB和C18TCNQ的环面分别垂直于基底表面,脂肪烃链有向垂直于基底表面方向变化的趋势,5层LB膜的表面形貌是由许多堆积在一起的六边形片状微晶组成。所以,通过选择制备方法获得具有不同结构的配合物薄膜是可能的。 2. TMB•TCNQ和硬脂酸混合LB膜的制备和表征 利用LB技术组装了TMB•TCNQ和硬脂酸的混合LB膜。研究发现:本身没有两亲性的TMB•TCNQ可以通过硬脂酸的夹带作用转移到基底上。混合LB膜中硬脂酸与TMB•TCNQ是物理混合,很容易被除去,而且,可以根据实际应用需要来决定混合LB膜中硬脂酸的比例。 3. TMB•TCNQ和硬脂酸混合LB膜的热稳定性研究 利用变温红外光谱研究TMB•TCNQ和硬脂酸的混合LB膜的热稳定性。结果显示,混合LB膜中硬脂酸相变发生70-72 oC,TMB•TCNQ在142-144 oC发生反掺杂(分解)。 4. TCNQ和TMB电荷转移配合物自组装膜的制备和表征 利用layer-by-layer法制备了TMB•TCNQ自组装膜。结果表明,通过三氯锗丙酸的中介作用成功地将TMB和TCNQ组装到基底上并形成电荷转移配合物,电荷转移度约为0.48。 5. 利用红外光谱研究硬脂酸镉LB膜的亚晶胞堆积类型 利用红外光谱研究了沉积在CaF2基底上的1,3,5,7-层硬脂酸镉(CdSt)LB膜的亚晶胞堆积形式,以及交替沉积LB膜中氘代硬脂酸镉(d-CdSt)LB膜对1,2,3-层硬脂酸镉LB膜的亚晶胞堆积的影响。结果表明:1-层CdSt LB膜的亚晶胞是六方堆积,而厚度超过3层的CdSt LB膜的亚晶胞是正交堆积。只有相同种类的CdSt LB膜层与层之间的相互作用才会影响碳氢长链的堆积形式,而不同种类的CdSt LB膜和d-CdSt LB膜之间的相互作用不会影响碳氢长链的堆积形式,不论这种作用是亲水头基之间的还是疏水长链之间的。 6. 近红外光谱分辨率对定量分析的影响 利用近红外光谱分析方法建立了多组分混合物中对乙酰氨基苯酚和乙水杨胺的定量分析模型。研究发现,光谱分辨率对定量分析模型有重要影响,针对具体样品的特定组分,需要选择合适的光谱分辨率,进而获得最佳的定量分析结果。

聚乙二醇-聚ε-己内酯两嵌段共聚物(PEG-PCL)由于其在生物医用材料中的潜在应用而受到广泛的关注。然而,研究表明这类嵌段共聚物的许多性质,如药物渗透性,降解性能和机械性质等,都要受到它们的结晶行为与聚集态结构的显著影响。而在本课题开始之前,还没有关于PEG-PCL的结晶行为与形态的系统研究报道。因此,本文希望通过对PEG-PCL两嵌段共聚物结晶行为与形态的研究,能为这类生物降解高分子材料的工业应用提供一定的科学依据。本文使用辛酸亚锡为催化剂,甲氧基聚乙二醇(mPEG)为大分子引发剂,合成了一系列分子量分布比较窄,PCL质量百分含量为0.16-0.93的PEG-PCL两嵌段共聚物。两嵌段共聚物中的PEG段分子量固定为5000,共聚物的组成通过改变PCL链段的长度来调节。本文使用DSC,WAXD,常温或变温FTIR详细研究了PEG-PCL的结晶和熔融行为,使用偏光显微镜(POM)观察了PEG-PCL的结晶形态及结晶生长行为,利用SAXS研究了PEG-PCL的微观形态,得出了如下结果:(1)WAXD与FTIR的结果表明,两嵌段共聚物中的PEG与PCL形成微相分离的结晶微区,不存在两者的共晶或混晶。PCL含量为0.23-0.87的两嵌段共聚物中都能观察到的PEG与PCL的结晶。变温FTIR结果显示,当PCL含量低于或等于0.36,两嵌段共聚物中的PEG先从熔体中结晶;反之,当PCL含量等于或大于0.43,则熔体中PCL结晶先出现。(2)DSC结果表明,随着PEG-PCL中PCL段长度的增加,PCL段的结晶和熔融温度显著增加;相反,PEG段的结晶和熔融温度则显著降低。当PCL的质量分数由0增加至0.93,PEG的结晶度从79%降低至0,然而PCL的结晶度却不是单调变化,而是出现一个最大值。(3)在POM下观察PEG-PCL的36 oC等温熔体结晶过程,当PCL质量分数不超过0.36时,在偏光显微镜下只能观察到PEG球晶;而当PCL质量分数大于或等于0.56时,只能观察到PCL球晶;PCL含量为0.43和0.50的两种两嵌段共聚物中观察到了一种独特的同心球晶,同心球晶的中心部分形态类似于PCL球晶,而外部则类似于PEG球晶。PEG球晶与PCL球晶生长速率受PCL含量的影响显著:当PCL质量分数从0增加至0.50,PEG球晶的生长速率大大降低;然而,PCL球晶的生长速率却不是单调变化,而是在PCL质量分数为0.62时达到最大值。(4)SAXS结果表明,结晶后的PEG-PCL的微区结构是由交替的PEG与PCL的层状微区组成。共聚物的长周期在PCL质量分数为0.50时达到最大值。当PCL质量分数由0增加至0.50时,由于PCL层厚度的显著增加,共聚物的长周期显著增加;而当PCL含量由0.50继续增加至0.87,由于PEG层厚度的急剧降低,又使得共聚物的长周期迅速降低。(5)首次利用POM和微区红外光谱详细研究了PEG-PCL50/50(w/w)同心球晶的形成过程,发现同心球晶的形成是由于一种独特的结晶动力学造成的。另外,即使同心球晶的中心和外部的形态差别巨大,但是红外显微镜结果显示,两部分的组成却是相同的。

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)膜技术由于在电子学、非线性光学以及化学传感器等领域具有潜在的应用前景而引起了人们的研究兴趣,其中它的热稳定性对LB膜的应用领域和范围具有一定的影响。本论文在此领域的主要研究内容如下: 利用LB膜技术分别制备了十八胺及硬脂酸、氘代硬脂酸的多层LB膜,采用变温傅立叶变换红外光谱研究了三种LB膜的相变行为。实验发现:十八胺LB膜在55-75 oC温度区间内发生相变,其CH2对称和反对称伸缩振动频率向高能量区发生明显移动;硬脂酸LB膜在70-80 oC的温度区间内发生了明显的相转变,CH2对称和反对称伸缩振动的强度比在升温过程中也有显著改变;氘代硬脂酸LB膜的相行为发生在65-70 oC的温度区间内。 利用LB膜技术制备了十八铵硬脂酸盐(C18H37NH3+C17H35COO-, ODASA)与十八铵氘代硬脂酸盐(C18H37NH3+C17D35COO-, ODASA-d35) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)膜,使用变温傅立叶变换红外透射光谱研究了它们的热行为。发现LB膜中十八铵硬脂酸盐分子的两个碳氢链高度有序,然而在十八铵氘代硬脂酸盐LB分子中的来自于十八胺的碳氢链部分无序,即在常温下有一些扭曲构象存在于碳氢链中。而十八铵硬脂酸盐的热稳定性也与十八铵氘代硬脂酸盐的热稳定性有些不同。在十八铵硬脂酸盐LB膜中,碳氢链在85 oC到90 oC的温度区间内发生非常明显的有序-无序变化。而在十八铵氘代硬脂酸盐LB膜中,碳氢链和来自于硬脂酸的氘代的烃链各自呈现出不同的热行为,即:碳氢链在80-90 oC的温度区间发生有序-无序变化,尤其是在80-85 oC的温度范围内这个变化非常显著;而氘代的烃链则在70 oC到85 oC这个较长的温度区间发生缓慢的相变。 分别制备了十八铵十二酸盐 (C18H37NH3+C11H23COO-,ODALA)和十八铵二十四酸盐(C18H37NH3+C23H45COO-,ODATA)LB膜,并用变温傅立叶变换红外透射光谱法研究了十八铵十二酸盐和十八铵二十四酸盐LB膜的热行为,比较了十八铵十二酸盐、十八铵硬脂酸盐和十八铵二十四酸盐这三种双链化合物LB膜的热行为。温度相关的红外光谱显示,这三种物质LB膜的热稳定性取决于碳链的长度。其中,十八铵十二酸盐LB膜在50-65 oC的温度区间内发生相变。对应的,十八铵二十四酸盐LB膜在80-90 oC的温度范围内发生有序-无序变化。令人感兴趣的是,十八铵二十四酸盐LB膜的相变温度与十八铵硬脂酸盐LB膜的相变温度基本一样,都是80-90 oC,也即在十八铵二十四酸盐和十八铵硬脂酸盐两种LB膜中,即使二十四酸取代了硬脂酸对前者的热稳定性的影响非常小。以上结果说明,在双长链化合物中,有效链长度取决于双链中的较短的那个烃链,从而来决定膜的热稳定性。在十八铵二十四酸盐LB膜中,十八胺的全部碳链对膜的热稳定性有贡献,而二十四酸的碳链则只有部分(有效部分)烃链有贡献。 制备了十八胺单层和多层LB膜和粒径为几个纳米的金纳米粒子。由于十八胺在pH值小于10.3的溶液中氨基带正电荷,使其置于金纳米溶胶中,利用带正电荷的十八胺和附着负电荷的金纳米粒子之间的静电作用,使得金纳米颗粒成功地吸附组装到十八胺的有序分子膜中,形成有规律的纳米颗粒层。通过紫外-可见光谱、红外光谱以及扫描电镜观察到,金纳米颗粒通过这种方法能够很好的组装在有机分子膜上,而且由于十八胺LB膜的高度有序性使得金纳米颗粒的组装层有序。而且,不同层数的十八胺LB膜对金纳米粒子呈现出不同的吸附行为。 测量了含微量甲醇(体积分数为0.04%~0.24%)的系列乙醇水溶液的近红外光谱,利用近红外光谱分析建立了预测甲醇含量的定量分析模型。比较了用外部检验法(Test Set-Validation)和交叉检验法(Cross-Validaton)建立的数学模型以及研究了使用外部检验法时校正集和检验集样品数的改变对模型预测结果的影响。结果发现,当校正集样品数为15检验集样品数为6(总样品数为21)时,使用外部检验法建立的数学模型预测结果较好,外部检验与交叉检验的预测均方根误差(分别为RMSEE和RMSEP)都较小(分别为0.0105和0.0115)而且很接近。结果表明,近红外光谱方法简单,准确而且实用。
