7. Brief Summary of Ph.D. Work:
Intrinsic disorder in amorphous semiconductors does not permit the chemical doping
to alter the charge carriers, as a result the use of these materials in device applications
becomes quite limited. The observation of p- to n-type conduction change in Ge-Se-
Bi (Pb) glassy semiconductors created a special interest. Results of detailed
investigations on these materials led to propose that microscopic inhomogenity is the
origin for conduction change in these materials. We aimed to study phase separation
in Ge-Se-X (X=Bi,Pb,In) compositions by thermal and X-ray structural
investigations. Our results clearly show that these materials are microscopically
inhomogeneous and the above phenomenon of conduction change can be explained in
the framework of chemical and mechanical thresholds.

8. Post Doctoral Work:

1. At the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel

i). Transition Ion Drift Measurements:

The existence of Space Charge Region at the interface of p-n/Schottky junction
can be explored to measure the diffusion coefficient of mobile ionic impurities by
probing transient capacitance. We applied this method to measure diffusion coefficient
of Cu in CuInSe2, Li and Ag in CdTe and HgCdTe single crystals, which are important
photovoltaic materials. Our measured results are in close agreement with reported
ones. Hence, the technique is simple, reliable and non-destructive to characterize ionic
mobility in semiconductors.
ii). Ohmic Contacts to p-CdTe and p-CuInSe2:
Forming a good ohmic contact to these semiconductors remained a major
challenge. The low-level p-type doping and complex defect chemistry of these
materials never permitted to form better ohmic contacts. We propose a simple room

3
 temperature electrochemical technique to form stable, low resistance and high current
density ohmic contacts to p-CdTe and p-CuinSe2 single crystals by electro-diffusion
of Hg ions prior to metal contact.

2. At the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay, India

Meyer-Neldel Rule in Amorphous Silicon:

Meyer-Neldel (MN) rule relates dc conductivity pre-factor to activation energy.
Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the origin of MN-rule in
semiconductors, of these structural inhomogeneties, temperature dependence Fermi-
level shift are prominent ones. Earlier studies on MN-rule were invariably affected the
Density of States (DOS) in amorphous silicon. We studied MN-rule in (n+-i-n+)
amorphous Si without affecting DOS by low intensity photoconductivity
measurements to show that the statistical shift of Fermi-level is the cause of MN-rule
in amorphous silicon.
3. At Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Electronics, University of Durham, UK
Organic Light Emitting Diodes:
The work involves the design and development of semiconducting organic molecules
to have a balanced charge transport so that efficient organic light emitting diodes
could be realized. In this respect organic molecule like tri-phenylamine -oxadiazole–
fluorene triad was synthesized and all solution based multilayer light emitting diodes
were fabricated by spin coating and systematically studied for their electroluminescent
properties. To support the results DFT calculations were performed to estimate
HUMO-LUMO levels and other parameters. The external quantum efficiency (EQE)
close to 0.36% has been observed. The emitted light from these devices varied from
light blue through to green by the systematic chemical modification of the molecular
subunits.

4. Current Research Areas at Karnatak University, Dharwad

a) Molecular Electronics: In recent time, the molecular electronics, that involves

binding of organic molecules between two electrodes for charge transport
measurements, has become an important field to push miniaturization of
electronics down to nano-regime. Presently we have been studying the class of
organic molecules on silicon surface to constitute metal-molecules-silicon
junction to understand the charge transport through such junctions in order to
understand the role of dipole-moment, conjugation and length of molecules. Such
interfaces can be an interesting class of nanoscale materials for wide range of
electronic devices and sensors.

4
b) Bio/Biologically Conjugated Structures for Electronic Devices: The
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a highly functional, versatile and genetically
coded bio-molecule. It may provide a unique platform to constitute the new
generation electronic devices with unexplored physics and chemistry. In the
present work, we have been trying to constitute electronic junctions using DNA,
its functionalized molecules and also its interfaces with certain active
nanomaterials, such as PbS, PbSe and PbTe, to understand the charge transport
mechanism so that a new generation electronics can realized.

c) Quantum Dots for Photovoltaic Devices: Different semiconductor nanoparticles

have been prepared to implement them for low-cost solar cells. Zinc oxide infused
with certain visible active dyes by simple electrochemical route that is anodic
dissolution of zinc is prepared. These composites are highly stable and those will
be implemented to develop electrochemical photovoltaic cells.

d) Chemical Bath Deposition of Quantum Dots: The chemical bath deposition is

simplest and oldest method of direct deposition of semiconductor films. We
successfully deposited various materials such as CdS, CdS-dye composites, Ag2S
and Cu2S etc. as low cost photovoltaic materials. We are in the process to put
these materials to make heterojunction solar cells.

e) Carbon and Metal Based Materials for Supercapacitors: Different films of

graphene and metals (particularly copper and aluminum) are prepared as porous
and flexible materials by simple routes, like self-assembly and electrochemical, to
implement them to constitute symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors. The
electrochemical characterization of these with different electrolytes exhibit high
specific capacitance that is evident from our recent research.

f) Graphene-Metal Nanocomposites for Memory Devices: Various metal

nanoparticles are loaded with reduced graphene that is prepared by solution route
chemistry. Then they are subjected to memory-resistor (memristor) applications
by sandwiching between two suitable electrodes. Attempts are being made to
design both mono and bistable junctions by proper control of compositions of
these composites.

g) Nanoparticle Composites of Low Band Gap Semiconductor for

Thermoelectric Applications: Low band gap semiconductors like Cu2S, Bi2S3,
BiTe, PbTe etc. are active thermoelectric materials for energy conversions.
Presently we are synthesizing nanoparticles of these semiconductors to design
thermoelectric junctions. The nano-phase of these materials can provide

5
 “electron-lattice and phonon- glass” phases that is an essential requirement for
high thermoelectric efficiency. Our work aims to implement these materials for
solar-to-thermal-to-electric energy conversion.

h) Metal Air Batteries

There is a continuous struggle develop the cheaper, denser, lighter and more
powerful batteries due to various issues. The present electronics gadget batteries,
particularly Li-ion batteries, demands inert atmosphere for their fabrication and
application due to a high reactivity of its components. Recently there is paradigm
shift towards metal air batteries which overcome the above difficulties.
Particularly the Aluminum and Zinc air batteries are gaining more importance;
still the research on these is in its infancy state. The inclusion of nanomaterials for
the development of these batteries has brought a lot of hopes to see them as a
potential contender for Li-ion and other existing batteries. Here the proposed work
will be focused to eliminate the Zn metal dendritic growth that happens during the
charging/ discharging cycles of these devices. This has been approached through
the molecular grafting Zn electrodes by certain organic molecule and then
deposition of Zn nanoparticles as active materials for metal air-batteries.
