Abstract
Current voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics for SnPc thin film with ~105 nm thickness; deposited on p-GaAs single crystals have been investigated. The dark current voltage-characteristics of the prepared junction have been investigated in a temperature range from ~303 to 393 K. The obtained results showed rectification behaviour. At low forward and reverse bias, the current was found to be limited by the thermoionic emission, while at high forward voltage, space charge limited current dominated by a single trap level of 0.22 eV. The analysis of the dark capacitance voltage characteristics indicated that the carrier concentration is 1.4$\times$1014 cm-3 with a built in voltage ~0.55 eV.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
