Modeling the effect of 1 MeV electron irradiation on the performance of n(+)-p-p(+) silicon space solar cells (2016)
Journal Article
Hamache, A., Sengouga, N., Meftah, A., & Henini, M. (2016). Modeling the effect of 1 MeV electron irradiation on the performance of n(+)-p-p(+) silicon space solar cells. Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 123, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2016.02.025

Energetic particles such as electrons and protons induce severe degradation on the performance of solar cells used to power satellites and space vehicles. This degradation is usually attributed to lattice damage in the active region of the solar cell...

Mechanism of periodic height variations along self-aligned VLS-grown planar nanostructures (2015)
Journal Article
Steele, J., Horvat, J., Lewis, R., Henini, M., Fan, D., Mazur, Y., …Salamo, G. (in press). Mechanism of periodic height variations along self-aligned VLS-grown planar nanostructures. Nanoscale, 7(48), https://doi.org/10.1039/c5nr06676j

In this study we report in-plane nanotracks produced by molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) exhibiting lateral self-assembly and unusual periodic and out-of-phase height variations across their growth axes. The nanotracks are synthesized using bismuth segre... Read More about Mechanism of periodic height variations along self-aligned VLS-grown planar nanostructures.

Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 91(20), Article 201406. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.91.201406

By combining optical spin orientation and an externally applied longitudinal electric field, transverse charge accumulation has been detected in very high-mobility two-dimensional hole gases by measuring the transverse voltage drop across simple Hall...

Dynamics of electronic transitions and frequency dependence of negative capacitance in semiconductor diodes under high forward bias (2014)
Journal Article

We observed qualitatively dissimilar frequency dependence of negative capacitance under high charge injection in two sets of functionally different junction diodes: III-V based light emitting and Si-based non-light emitting diodes. Using an advanced... Read More about Dynamics of electronic transitions and frequency dependence of negative capacitance in semiconductor diodes under high forward bias.
