Abstract

The electrical characteristics of semiconductor materials can be predicted based on the transport of charge carriers within the material. Under room temperature, the electrical properties of semiconductor materials can be exploited by knowing the value of their electron mobility to predict the number of electrons that experience the transport mechanism. When the material is observed under room temperature, the interaction of electrons and the lattice atoms' vibrations result in deformation potential scattering. This can stimulate electron mobility changes, which can affect the number of free electrons in semiconductor materials. The research results presented in this paper simulate the number of electrons that change due to electrons' mobility in the GaAs crystal. This material undergoes potential scattering deformation due to the interaction between electrons and phonons at temperature (40-100) K. The simulation is carried out by modeling the GaAs semiconductor material in the form of a p-n junction. The temperature variation given to the material shows a significant change in concentration in the junction area. In contrast, in the contact area's vicinity with the external circuit, both the p-layer and the n-layer show relatively constant electron concentrations.

Abstract

The photovoltaic process inside a solar cell can be described using the distribution of electrostatic potential in the material. In this paper, the magnitude of the electrostatic potential of the solar cell for the p-i-n junction type is analyzed as the built in potential due to the diffusion activity of electrons and holes. The magnitude of the electrostatic potential is obtained by solving the Poisson and Continuity equations, which are applied to a-Si: H based materials. The difference in built in potential at the p-i and i-n junctions is obtained as a function of the energy gap of the intrinsic layer.

Abstract

It has been investigated computationally Young's modulus of some metals: nickel, copper, silver, gold, and aluminum. The offset method can graphically determine Young's modulus property by determining the elastic region based on the straight line intersection formed at a 0.2% strain against the stress-strain curve. In this simulation work, Young’s modulus calculation was performed by using the LAMMPS molecular dynamics software. The interatomic potential used to represent the interactions among atoms of materials in this simulation is the Morse potential. The metals under-investigated in this work are nickel, copper, silver, gold, and aluminum, and we got the results are 209.2 GPa, 110.8 GPa, 83.8 GPa, 79.2 GPa, and 70.3 GPa, respectively. The Young's modulus of the materials was also computed as temperature variations from 300K to the melting point to determine the effect of temperature on Young's modulus, and it is tensile strength. From our work we can found that the higher the temperature, the lower Young's modulus value. In addition, it can be seen that nickel metal has good temperature resistance. This is evidenced by the change in the nickel-metal phase near its melting point.

The potential energy used in the simulation is the Morse potential. From the simulation, it is found that the relationship between the mass density of liquid lead and temperature and pressure can be expressed in the equation pPb = 11233 - 0,9217 x T for pressure 1 – 5 atm and pPb = 11233 x 0,9213 x T for pressure 7 atm in units kg/m.

Abstract

Microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) is a silicon semiconductor material with a crystalline structure in the amorphous phase. Here, the transport phenomenon in this phase has been modeled to produce charge carrier distribution profile and current density-voltage characteristics. The calculations were obtained by solving Poisson and Continuity equations on crystal and amorphous materials which are modeled in one-dimensional p-i-n homojunction, using finite element method. The simulation results of the charge carrier distribution profile show that the highest electron concentration in the n-layer of 1018 cm-1, and the highest hole concentration in the p-layer of 1018 cm-1. The result current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics curve show that the open circuitt voltage of 0,6 volts and short-circuit current density of 26.4 mA/cm. The energy conversion efficiency of 9.02% with a fill factor of 0.569.

Abstract

One of the rarely explored molten salt reactor (MSR) designs is the molten chloride fast reactor (MCFR). This MSR design employs chloride salt instead of fluoride and operated in a fast spectrum. MCFR brings all the advantages of an MSR including breeding whilst being able to burn plutonium and minor actinides efficiently. Since not many countries have access to civilian plutonium, MCFR can also be started using low-enriched uranium (LEU). This study is an initial neutronic analysis of an MCFR using LEU as its startup fuel. Parameters analyzed are conversion ratio (CR) and its neutronic safety, namely effective delayed neutron fraction (βeff), temperature coefficient of reactivity (TCR), and void coefficient of reactivity (VCR). The core is divided into Core Zone and Blanket Zone. The fuel composition of NaCl-UCl3 with a molar fraction ratio of 60:40 and 50:50 is used in Core Zone and Blanket Zone, respectively. The neutronic calculation is performed using MCNP6 code with ENDF/B-VII library. For reference geometry, CR is valued at 0.9298, βeff at 0.00731, TCR at -19.8 pcm/°C, and average VCR at -154.31 pcm/void%. Thereby, the MCFR fulfills inherent safety criteria. Although its value is remarkably high, CR can be further optimized by modifying the separator and reflector material.

Abstract

Activated carbon can be produced from the combustion of a materials containing carbon that has been activated using activator substances. In this paper, potassium hydroxide (KOH) was selected as an activating agent. The influence of KOH concentration was investigated to determine the dielectric and adsorption properties of activated carbon derived from water hyacinth. Drying water hyacinth was carbonize in the furnace at a temperature of 400°C followed by chemical activation with variation concentration of KOH solution that used are 25%, 30%, and 35% (w/v) respectively. The results show that the best activated carbon derived from water hyacinth was obtained using 35% (w/v) KOH solution as an activating agent with the dielectric constant is 4,04 while iodine number of 514,6 mg/g.

Abstract

LSU-05 NG is one of the unmanned air vehicles (UAV) developed by the aviation technology center LAPAN. The LAPAN aviation technology center designed the LSU-05 NG to be able to carry a larger payload and broader range than other types of LSUs. Therefore, the LSU-05 NG uses an engine that has enough power. LSU-05 NG uses a piston-type engine with a capacity of 170 CC. UAV engine is the primary source of vibration in the UAV structure. Excessive vibration can cause damage to the UAV structure and malfunction of the UAV payload, such as sensors, control systems, and cameras. In this research, vibration measurements were carried out at 2 locations. The measurement location is on the engine and where the payload is installed. The vibration measurement on the LSU-05 NG was carried out during the ground test. The accelerometer sensor is used to measure vibrations and is connected to the NI data acquisition system and displayed with LabVIEW. The data to be taken are acceleration and frequency data with variations in the RPM value on the LSU-05 NG engine. With these measurements, the vibration characteristics caused by the engine in the LSU-05 NG structure, primarily where the payload is stored, can be known.

Abstract

The protein adsorption was interesting study, especially in the biological fluidic application. In the present study, we study the protein adsorption behavior on the bacterial cellulose and modified bacterial cellulose. In here, bacterial cellulose was modified by acid hydrolysis using hydrochloric acid. The contact time and pH were used as variable to study protein adsorption behavior on the modified bacterial cellulose. As the results, based on functional group analysis, there are not different between bacterial cellulose and modified bacterial cellulose. However, after modification, there was increasing of crystallinity of bacterial cellulose from 84.5% to be 87.7%. In the protein adsorption study, increasing the contact time increase percent adsorption until contact time of 90 minutes, however the further contact time relatively constant. The protein adsorption on both of bacterial cellulose and modified bacterial cellulose decreases, following the increase of pH.
