Charge Transport Mechanism in Thin Cuticles Holding Nandi Flame Seeds

Metal-sample-metal sandwich configuration has been used to investigate DC conductivity in 4 mum thick Nandi flame [Spathodea campanulata P. Beauv.] seed cuticles. J-V characteristics showed ohmic conduction at low fields and space charge limited current at high fields. Charge mobility in ohmic region was 4.06 x 10(-5) (m(2)V(-1)s(-1)). Temperature-dependent conductivity measurements have been c...

Charge Transport in Ferroelectric Thin Films

The study of charge transport through organic thin films: mechanism, tools and applications.

In this paper, we discuss the current state of organic and molecular-scale electronics, some experimental methods used to characterize charge transport through molecular junctions and some theoretical models (superexchange and barrier tunnelling models) used to explain experimental results. Junctions incorporating self-assembled monolayers of organic molecules - and, in particular, junctions wi...

Fixed charge and transport numbers in isolated pepper fruit cuticles from membrane potential measurements: Donnan and diffusion potential contributions

Membrane potential of native isolated pepper cuticles were measured with NaCl and CaCl2 solutions for a wide range of concentrations (10BC(M)B10). From membrane potential results the fixed charge concentration, X, and the transport number of the ions in the cuticular membrane were obtained. Taking into account the X value, an estimation of the Donnan potential contribution to the membrane poten...

Measuring charge transport in a thin solid film using charge sensing.

We measure charge transport in a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film using a nanometer scale silicon MOSFET as a charge sensor. This charge detection technique makes possible the measurement of extremely large resistances even in the presence of blocking contacts. At high temperatures, where the resistance of the a-Si:H is not too large, the charge detection measurement agrees wit...
