A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor is an intriguing technology for the development of a novel biosensor. Indeed, the CMOS image sensor mechanism concerning the detection of the antigen-antibody (Ag-Ab) interaction at the nanoscale has been ambiguous so far. To understand the mechanism, more extensive research has been necessary to achieve point-of-care diagnostic devi...

Charge persistence is signal that remains on a detector array after the illumination source has been removed. It is a characteristic of many types of photo detectors but is particularly prominent in near-infrared arrays that utilize Indium Antimonide (InSb) as a photosensitive material. Persistence can be a significant issue for a scientific observation with the potential of reducing the qualit...

The temperature dependence of the Raman-active mode frequencies in indium sulfide was measured in the range from 10 to 300 K. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the Ag intralayer optical modes show that Raman frequency shift results from the change of harmonic frequency with volume expansion and anharmonic coupling to phonons of other branches. The pure-temperature contribution (phon...

The effects of disodium fumarate on microbial growth, CH4 production and fermentation of three diets differing in their forage content (800, 500 and 200 g/kg DM) by rumen micro-organisms in vitro were studied using batch cultures. Rumen contents were collected from four Merino sheep. Disodium fumarate was added to the incubation bottles to achieve final concentrations of 0, 4 and 8 mm-fumarate,...

Layers of palladium (Pd) nanoparticles on indium phosphide (InP) were prepared by electrophoretic deposition from the colloid solution of Pd nanoparticles. Layers prepared by an opposite polarity of deposition showed different physical and morphological properties. Particles in solution are separated and, after deposition onto the InP surface, they form small aggregates. The size of the aggrega...

In this study, we sought to improve the light trapping of textured silicon solar cells using the plasmonic light scattering of indium nanoparticles (In NPs) of various dimensions. The light trapping modes of textured-silicon surfaces with and without In NPs were investigated at an angle of incidence (AOI) ranging from 0° to 75°. The optical reflectance, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and ph...

2014 High frequency ballistic phonons were radiated by the heat pulse method (To 4.2 K) into degenerate n-type indium antimonide crystals. We first review the relevant aspects of the electronphonon interaction : cut-off for phonon wavevectors larger than twice the Fermi radius (q > 2 kF), selective coupling of the longitudinal modes and screening effects. Then, we report original extensive...

Systematic explorations of new phases in the A(I)-In(III)-I(V)-O system by hydrothermal reactions led to five new compounds, namely, AIn(IO(3))(4) (A = Li, Na), Rb(3)In(IO(3))(6) and A(2)HIn(IO(3))(6) (A = Rb, Cs). The structure of AIn(IO(3))(4) (A = Li, Na) contains one-dimensional [In(IO(3))(4)](-) chains separated by Li(+) or Na(+) cations. In both compounds, each In(3+) cation is octahedral...

We use a Monte Carlo approach to investigate the electron transport in Indium Nitride. Simulations with two different setups (one with a bandgap of 1.89 eV and one with bandgap of 0.69 eV) are conducted. All relevant scattering mechanisms are accounted for. Results for electron mobility as a function of free carrier concentration and electric field are compared to previous studies and discussed.
