Contested Play and Clean Water: McMillan Park, Race, and the Built Environment in Washington, D.C., 1900-1941

This study focuses on the intersection of the politics and culture of open public space with race relations in the United States from 1900 to 1941. The history of McMillan Park in Washington, D.C. serves as a lens to examine these themes. Ultimately, the park’s history, as documented in newspapers, interviews, reports, and photographs, reveals how white residents attempted to protect their dominance in a racial hierarchy through the control of both the physical and cultural elements of public recreation space. White use of discrimination through seemingly neutral desires to protect health, safety, and property values, establishes a congruence with their defense of residential property. Without similar access to legal methods, African Americans acted through direct action in gaps of governmental control. Their use of this space demonstrates how African-American residents of Washington and the United States contested their race, recreation, and spatial privileges in the pre-World War II era.

UV and visible photoconductivity of undoped diamond films: morphology and related electrical transport phenomena

UV and visible photoconductivity and electrical features of undoped diamond thin films grown by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (MP-CVD) on silicon and copper substrates are studied. The results are correlated with morphology properties analysed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and micro-Raman. The photoconductivity presents several bands from 1.8 to 3.8 eV that are dependent on the substrate used to grow the samples in spite of some common bands observed. The J-V curve tin DC) in samples grown on Si has a rectifier behaviour (Schottky emission) in opposition to the samples grown on Cu that have no rectification (SCLC conduction). With these results we can conclude that diamond based optoelectronic devices behaviour is controlled by two kinds of structural defects localized in microcrystal and in its boundaries. A general structure model for the optoelectronic behaviour is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Microelectrical characterisation of diamond films: an attempt to understand the structural influence on electrical transport phenomena

The properties of microelectrical conduction in microwave plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition (MPCVD) diamond films were investigated using an atomic force microscopy probe, giving a morphological map of the electrical conduction with a spatial resolution better than 500 nm. Also, a cathodoluminescence map with a spatial resolution of about 1 mu m was obtained, giving the possibility of correlating the defects involved in the different carrier transport phenomena. Using micro-Raman analysis several bands could be identified. It is found that the defects responsible for the cathodoluminescence (CL) blue band are responsible for the major part of the electrical conduction in diamond films, while the defects localised in < 111 > surfaces, responsible for the green CL emission, could be involved in a less conductive process.

Determination of deep and shallow levels in conjugated polymers by electrical methods

Conjugated organic semiconductors have been submitted to various electrical measurement techniques in order to reveal information about shallow levels and deep traps in the forbidden gap. The materials consisted of poly[2-methoxy, 5 ethyl (2' hexyloxy) paraphenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV), poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMeT), and alpha-sexithienyl (alpha T6) and the employed techniques were IV, CV, admittance spectroscopy, TSC, capacitance and current transients.

Electrical characterization of semiconducting polymers

Schottky diodes resulting from an intimate contact of aluminum on electrodeposited poly(3-methylthiopene) were studied by admittance spectroscopy, capacitance-voltage measurements and voltaic and optically-induced current and capacitance transients. The loss tangents show the existence of interface states that can be removed by vacuum annealing. Furthermore, the C-V curves contradict the idea of movement of the dopant ions.

Photoconductivity and electrical properties of diamond films grown by MPCVD

The electrical and photoconductive features of as-grown microwave-plasma-assisted chemical-vapour deposition (MPCVD) diamond films are studied in correlation with magnetic results obtained from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Also, the morphology is analysed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showing [111] crystals with a good uniformity of the deposit. The photoresponse as well the current-voltage features observed show an efficient photogeneration of carriers while the optoelectronic characteristics of the metal-diamond junction have an ideality factor of 1.6 together with a rectification ratio of about 10(4) at +/-2.5 V. The nature of the mechanisms responsible for the conduction is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.

Electrical characterization of CVD diamond-n(+) silicon junctions

The electrical characteristics of CVD-diamond/n(+)-Si heterojunction devices are reported. Below 250 K the diodes show an unusual inversion of their rectification properties. This behavior is attributed to an enhanced tunneling component due to interface states, which change their occupation with the applied bias. The temperature dependence of the loss tangent shows two relaxation processes with different activation energies. These processes are likely related with two parallel charge transport mechanisms, one through the diamond grain, and the other through the grain boundary. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Minority-carrier effects in poly-phenylenevinylene as studied by electrical characterization

Electrical measurements have been performed on poly[2-methoxy, 5 ethyl (2' hexyloxy) paraphenylenevinylene] in a pn junction with silicon. These included current-voltage measurements, capacitance-voltage measurements, capacitance-transient spectroscopy, and admittance spectroscopy. The measurements show evidence for large minority-carrier injection into the polymer possibly enabled by interface states for which evidence is also found. The shallow acceptor level depth (0.12 eV) and four deep trap level activation energies (0.30 and 1.0 eV majority-carrier type; 0.48 and 1.3 eV minority-carrier type) are found. Another trap that is visible at room temperature has point-defect nature. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
