A Mathematical Model for the AC Impedance of Semiconducting Electrodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical model is developed to calculate the impedance response of a semiconductor electrode to a sinusoidal current perturbation. The model accounts explicitly for electron and hole transport as well as generation and recombination through band-to-band mechanisms and through bulk interband electron acceptors of specified energy. The resistive (real) component of the impedance is shown to be sensitive to the concentration, distribution, and energy level of the bulk sites. The capacitive (imaginary) component, while useful for determining the dopant level and the flat-band potential of the semiconductor, is relatively insensitive to low concentrations of bulk sites. D.

10.626 Lecture Notes, Impedance of electrodes
In the previous lecture, we leant about impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is the technique where the cell or electrode impedance is platted versus frequency. Thus, the impedance is measured as a function of the frequency of the AC source. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a useful method for investigating porous electrodes, which are extensively used in the ...
متن کاملOptimization of a Waterborne Epoxy Coatings Formulation via Experimental Design
Waterborne Epoxy based coatings were prepared by using a water-borne epoxy resin and a suitable hardener. The formulation and optimization procedure were carried out on the bases of experimental designs by the mixture design technique in which the important paint properties are modeled by using special cubic model. The corrosion behavior of these coatings was investigated using electrochemical ...
