The motivation for this work came from an interest in Economics (particularly since the 2008 economic downturn) and a desire to use the tools of physics in a field that has not been the subject of great exploration. We ...

Semiconducting materials change their conductivity in the presence of impurities, lattice defects, an applied electric or magnetic field, or a temperature change. This work will show and explain the electric and magnetic ...

In this work, we carried out magneto-optical measurements on transparent insu- lating thin films. We used a monochromator with a Xenon lamp source to generate monochromatic linearly polarized light. Combining this source ...

V6O13 is one of the intermediate phase compounds between the vanadium-oxides VO2 and V2O5. In bulk, this material undergoes a structural transition at approximately 150K, and a magnetic transition from paramagnetic to ...

This work focused on the evaluating of the structure, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of and Zn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O thin films synthesized from ceramic targets using the magnetron sputtering ...

The magnetoresistance behavior was determined and studied of the semiconducting compound Zn0.9 Co0.1O : Al / Glass for different temperatures, and Faraday Effect was studied in the ultraviolet region using magnetic fields ...

In this work we have studied materials suitable to be used as an absorbing layer in thin-film solar cells. Photovoltaic materials based in CuIn (1-x) Ga(x) Se2 (CIGS) are now conventionally used the solar panel industry. ...

We studied the magnetic circular dichroism spectra (MCD) of ZnO1−xCoxO (x = 0.00, x = 0.05 and x = 0.01) thin films. No magneto-optical effect was observed in the ZnO sample, while samples of ZnO:Co 5% and ZnO:Co 10% MCD ...

In this thesis we made a study about the Metal-Insulator phase transition with the purpose to determine, particularly, the parameters to play a important rol in the transition. For this we made a study of theories or ...
