Azido bridged binuclear copper(ii) Schiff base compound: synthesis, structure and electrical properties
2019
An azido bridged dinuclear complex [Cu(L−)(μ1,1N3)]2 (1) was synthesized by a 1 : 1 condensation of N-cyclohexyl-1,3-propanediamine and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (HL). The complex was subsequently characterized based on elemental analyses, IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, a Hirshfeld study, FESEM, ESI-MS, powder XRD and also DFT studies successfully. The X-ray crystal structure of complex 1 revealed that the Cu(II) ion exhibited a definite five-coordinate square pyramidal coordination arrangement with a centro-symmetric μ 1,1-azido bridging in the end-on mode and formed a dimeric structure. The optical direct band gap of complex 1 was estimated to be 2.84 eV. The current–voltage character…
Time-dependent current-voltage characteristics of Al/p-CdTe/Pt x-ray detectors
2012
Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Schottky Al/p-CdTe/Pt detectors were investigated in dark and at different temperatures. CdTe detectors with Al rectifying contacts, very appealing for high resolution x-ray and gamma ray spectroscopy, suffer from bias-induced polarization phenomena which cause current increasing with the time and severe worsening of the spectroscopic performance. In this work, we studied the time-dependence of the I-V characteristics of the detectors, both in reverse and forward bias, taking into account the polarization effects. The I-V measurements, performed at different time intervals between the application of the bias voltage and the measurement of the current…
DELAYED ELECTRON EMISSION OF NEGATIVELY CHARGED TUNGSTEN CLUSTERS
1996
The delayed electron emission of negatively charged tungsten clusters has been investigated on a time scale from 1 to 500 ms. After being stored in a Penning trap clusters ions [Formula: see text] were heated via multiphoton absorption (hν=1.81 eV). In contrast to alkali and coinage metals no photofragmentation could be detected. Instead, for all cluster sizes studied so far only a decrease in the initial ion intensity as a function of time after excitation was observed. This decrease is not caused by ion loss from the trap, but has to be attributed to neutralization via delayed electron emission. The presented results strongly suggest that this process can be viewed as “thermionic emissio…
