The a-SiGe:H alloys produce noise power spectra similar to coplanar undoped a-Si:H films in the same temperature range. The noise power spectrum S(n) does not fit a single 1/fα power law but rather has two distinct regions, each accurately fitted by a power law, but with different slopes. The low frequency slope α1 is similar to that observed in undoped a-Si:H films varying from 1.30 to 1.46 for different Ge concentrations and shows a slight temperature dependence. At higher frequencies, the slope α2 is less than unity and temperature independent but depends on the Ge content of the film. α2 decreases from 0.60 for no Ge (pure a-Si:H) to 0.15 for 40 at.% Ge. The noise power at lower frequencies increases and at higher frequencies decreases substantially as the temperature increases from 430 to 490 K. We infer that similar noise mechanisms are operating in undoped a-SiGe:H and a-Si:H films but that the Ge content is influencing the noise, particularly the slope at higher frequencies. In addition, the noise has the expected quadratic dependence on bias current and obeys Gaussian statistics.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 28Effects of Wall-Located Heat Barrier on Conjugate Conduction/Natural- Convection Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Enclosures(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Hakyemez, Erinç; Mobedi, Moghtada; Öztop, Hakan FehmiThe effects of a heat barrier, located in the ceiling wall of an enclosure, on conjugate conduction/natural convection are investigated numerically. The vertical walls of the enclosure are differentially heated and the horizontal walls are adiabatic. Heatline technique is used to visualize heat transport. The variations of average Nusselt number, dimensionless heat transfer rate through the ceiling wall, and dimensionless overall heat transfer rate are studied. Calculations are performed for different Rayleigh numbers (10 3≤ Ra ≤ 10 6), thermal conductivity ratios (1 ≤ K ≤ 100), dimensionless locations of the heat barrier (0 < X h < 1),and two dimensionless ceiling wall thicknesses (D = 0.05 and D = 0.20). For high thermal conductivity ratio (K = 100), the heat barrier considerably reduces the dimensionless overall heat transfer rate. The effect of the heat barrier on dimensionless heat transfer rate through the enclosure increases as the Rayleigh number decreases. For low Rayleigh number (i.e., Ra = 10 3), a location exists in the ceiling wall for which the dimensionless overall heat transfer rate is minimum.
