Carrier parameters

In this chapter some of the presently known optical properties of zinc oxide are reviewed. In particular, the anisotropic dielectric functions (DFs) of ZnO and related compounds from the far-infrared (FIR) to the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) spectral range are studied. Thereupon, many fundamental physical parameters can be derived, such as the optical phonon-mode frequencies and their broadening values, the free-charge-carrier parameters, the static and high-frequency dielectric constants, the dispersion of the indices of refraction within the band-gap region, the fundamental and above-band-gap band-to-band transition energies and their excitonic contributions.

Fig. 3.20. Experimental (dotted lines) and best-model (solid lines) IRSE spectra of a PLD-grown Cu-doped ZnO thin film (d 1450 nm) on sapphire [43]. Panel (a) contains the best-model calculation, which is obtained by dividing the ZnO layer into two sublayers with different free-charge-carrier parameters, as sketched in the inset. The best-model free-charge-carrier parameters in sublayer J1 d 900nm) are N = (8.15 0.01) x 1018cm-3, //[ pt = (32.5 0.3)cm2 Vs-1, and /i° Pt = (29.9 0.4) cm2 V 1 s The free-charge-carrier concentration in sublayer j)2 [d 550 nm) is below the IRSE detection limit of (V 5 x 1017 cm-3. Panel (b) contains the best-model data, which are obtained by modeling the ZnO thin film as one homogeneous layer...

Depending on the details of the carrier distributions and densities, majority and minority carrier parameters have different importance. Under ambipolar transport conditions, which often hold in solar cell operation, the ambipolar urproduct is the relevant transport parameter. This has a somewhat complicated dependence on the minority- and majority-carrier parameters, but in many cases it can be approximated by the minority-carrier uz product. However, when the absorber material is not sufficiently doped, or if the absorber layer is depleted, a distinction between minority and majority carriers becomes difficult, and a more in-depth analysis may be needed, as discussed by Bube (1992).

There are many possible models for a membrane carrier. The applicability of these models must be examined for the specific substrate of interest. Many experiments aimed at measuring carrier parameters are carried out on isolated cells or cell fragments. Experiments in intact organs (either in vivo and in vitro) are also possible. Of particular note is the bolus sweep method described by Rickaby et al. (1981) and Malcorps et al. (1984). 

While developing magnetically guided pharmaceuticals one needs to solve a number of problems related to the synthesis of efficient nanosized carriers, modification of their surface, immobilization of drugs, encapsulation, etc. It is important to implement a theoretical evaluation of the conditions of targeted delivery and calculation of the carrier parameters for their optimization (Gorbyk and Turov, 2011 Fertman, 1988 Alyautdin et al., 2003 Berezov et al., 2004).
