The Effect of Synthesis Conditions and Humidity on Current−Voltage Relations in Electrodeposited ZnO-Based Schottky Junctions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electrochemically produced ZnO/metal rectifying (Schottky) junctions can exhibit consistent barrier heights and high rectifying ratios when prepared using optimized electrolyte pH (6.5) and applied voltage (</=-1.1 V vs Ag/AgCl) conditions. An increase in soft breakdown for more acidic deposition electrolytes (pH 4) correlates with a diminished preferred orientation in the resulting ZnO electrodeposit. Forward-biased junctions exposed to increased relative humidities show increased current as a result of protonic conduction from water hydrolysis at the ZnO/air interface. At moderate to high relative humidities (50-85% RH), hydrophobic coatings improve the quality of the rectifying response by changing the wetting properties of the ZnO surface. Our findings suggest that electrodeposition, in conjunction with postdeposition surface coatings, can offer improved functionality for electron transport materials in wet or humid environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
