Electronic properties of undoped microcrystalline silicon oxide films
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electronic properties of undoped microcrystalline silicon oxide films have been investigated by transient photocurrent (TPC) density of states (DOS) spectroscopy, supported by dark conductivity, steady-state photoconductivity, and constant-photocurrent measurements (CPM). Film compositions span the range from amorphous to microcrystalline and contain up to 10% oxygen content, yielding optical bandgap values E04 (the photon energy at which the absorption depth equals one micrometre) between 1.85 and 2.11 eV. Carrier transport is consistent with multiple-trapping in a localised DOS, which depends upon film structure and oxygen content. TPC measurements indicate that both conduction band-tail energy and deep defect density increase with increasing oxygen content, accompanied by a reduction in majority carrier mobility-lifetime product. CPM measurements on amorphous films show a broadening of the Urbach tail with increasing oxygen content. Significantly higher oxygen incorporation without seriously compromising electronic quality appears possible in microcrystalline films. This suggests potential application as solar cell absorber layers offering increased optical bandgap and open-circuit voltage.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
