Chemical growth

It should be stressed that the key point in the recent success of ZnS application in thin film solar cells is the use of chemical rather than electrochemical deposition (CBD), which is successfully applied also for obtaining Cdi- Zn S films. Note though that smdies on the chemical growth of ZnS are limited compared to CdS, and the level of understanding of the deposition mechanism is inferior. 

Important results and a detailed insight into aqueous chemical deposition processes have been reported and discussed elsewhere for CdSe [248, 249] and ZnS [250, 251] target products. We should note also the work of Davies et al. [252] who described an alternative method for the chemical growth of metal sulfides and selenides on the basis of polysulfide or polyselenide solutions (containing hexa- and tetra-chalcogen anions) formed by the dissolution of sulfur or selenium in hydrazine monohydrate. ...

The relationship between the development of the tobacco harvester and chemical growth regulators is one of direct interaction. One of the major problems that needed resolution was the inability of the mechanical harvester to distinguish a leaf from axillary regrowths. If these axillary regrowths, which are more commonly known as suckers, are allowed to grow, they can so thoroughly confuse the mechanical harvester that it is virtually impossible to operate. 

The story is far from complete in tobacco because new growth regulants are now being evaluated which will cause all the leaves on the plant to mature at one time. Conceivably the day will soon be reached when a program based upon chemical growth regulants and mechanization will reduce the harvesting of flue-cured tobacco from five trips to one. 

Business Reaction. In July 1986, Safeway Stores, Inc., the nation s largest grocery chain, announced that it would stop buying apples treated with the chemical growth regulator Alar, despite EPA s decision in January to allow its use while further studies are done. In addition, the state of Maine proposed a non-detectable standard for daminozide to be reached this year, and the state of Massachusetts has enacted regulation to reduce Alar in baby foods and heat-processed foods to a non-detectable level by 1988. (Wall Street Journal, 1986).

Mercury cadmium teiluride (HgCdTe) is a direct bandgap semiconductor widely used as a material for infrared detectors due to his narrow variable band gap. The achievement of high-performance detectors depends critically on a low surface recombination velocity of the minority carriers. The chemical growth of a passivation oxidized superficial layer in an aqueous Fe(CN)g3- basic solution is studied in this work. The depth profiles of the different elements in the oxidized layer superficial layer and its thickness are studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrical properties of the interface are evaluated from MIS devices. The conditions of oxidation have been optimized.

The advantages of chemical growth compared to classical dipersion in a matrix are discussed in terms of reproducibility, homogeneity and level of properties [97]. 

Figure 8.19 shows the evolution of a and (e. e") for a chemically growth polypyrrole (3.2%) in Teflon emulsion as described in Section 5.1.1. The conductivity of the composite is 1.2 x 10 S/cm. We can sec as an illustration of the previous description, the first transition corresponding to at a frequency of 100 KHz. The second transition is located at 10 MHz. Similar results have been obtained in the case of granular gold films [145]. 

The polypyrrole blends have been synthesised by chemical growth in a Teflon emulsion, in water phase. The processing is therefore obtained by pressing the Teflon-polypyrrole powder under 3000 bars at room temperature conditions. The evolution of the microwave behaviour is given in Figure 8.19.
