Here we develop a method to visualize such a conversion process in the InGaN/GaN multiquantum wells embedded in a p-n junction. Under non-resonant absorption conditions, a photocurrent was generated and the photoluminescence intensity decayed by more than 70% when the p-n junction out-circuit was switched from open to short. However, when the excitation photon energy decreased to the resonant absorption edge, the photocurrent dropped drastically and the photoluminescence under open and short circuit conditions showed similar intensity. These results indicate that the escaping of the photo-generated carriers from the quantum wells is closely related to the excitation photon energy.展开更多

The thin films with thickness ranged from 100 nm to 300 nm basically show cubic structures with a=0.3886 nm, the same as that of the raw material used, but the structures are highly modulated. C-AFM results revealed that the atomic scale p-n junction feature of the thin films was the same as that of the single crystals. The preparation of the thin films thus further confirms the possibility of their application extending from micrometer-sized single crystals to macroscopic thin film.展开更多

By experimental verification, a good consistency between simulation and experiment can be observed. The results show that the reverse breakdown voltage for the 4H-SiC P-i-N diode with optimized JTE edge termination can accomplish near ideal breakdown voltage and much lower leakage current. The breakdown voltage can be near 1650 V, which achieves more than 90 percent of ideal parallel plane junction breakdown voltage and the leakage current density can be near 3 ×10^-5 A/cm2.展开更多

With Matlab software, the V-I characteristics of diodes and solar cells were simulated, and a computer simulation model of the solar cells based on P-N junction was also established. Based on the simulation model, the influences of solar cell’s internal resistances on open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current under certain illumination were numerically analyzed and solved. The simulation results showed that the equivalent series resistance and shunt resistance could strongly affect the V-I characteristics of solar cell, but their influence styles were different.展开更多

It is shown that the deformation and the microwave field increase the current through p-n-junction, and the light decreases it. The mechanism of this phenomenon is explained by the fact that under heating of the charge carriers by microwave field the recombination current arises, and under the action of light the generation current arises which are directed oppositely. And under the influence of the deformation the band gap of the semiconductor will be changed.展开更多
