  • Development of zinc phosphide as a p-type absorber
    2012 38th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 2012
    Co-Authors: Parag Vasekar, Siva P. Adusumilli, Daniel Vanhart, Tara P. Dhakal, Seshu Desu
    Abstract:

    In the present contribution, we report a simple and Repeatable Process for the synthesis of zinc phosphide on two different substrates, zinc foil and zinc evaporated on molybdenum-coated glass. Zinc phosphide has been an important candidate for optoelectronic applications and has also been explored in the lithium ion batteries. Zinc phosphide is synthesized from earth-abundant constituents, zinc and phosphorous. Trioctylphosphine (TOP) is used as a source of phosphorous which reacts with zinc and results in the growth of zinc phosphide. Zinc phosphide has been successfully synthesized in both continuous thin film and nanowires form around ∼ 350°C. The synthesized zinc phosphide phase was characterized using SEM, EDS, XRD and XPS. Possible growth mechanism is discussed.

  • Development of Zinc Phosphide as an Absorber Using Chemical Reflux Technique.
    MRS Online Proceedings Library, 2011
    Co-Authors: Siva P. Adusumilli, Parag Vasekar, Daniel Vanhart, Tara Dhakal, Charles R. Westgate, Seshu Desu
    Abstract:

    Recent trend in thin film solar cells is to use earth abundant materials such as zinc and iron. Zinc phosphide (Zn_3P_2) has been has been explored as a choice for solar cell absorber and is currently reviving attention. Zinc phosphide is synthesized from earth-abundant constituents. We have already optimized zinc phosphide phase both in nanocrystalline and bulk thin film form. The purpose of this study is to study growth conditions at different temperatures. In this study, Trioctylphosphine (TOP) is used as a source of phosphorous which reacts with zinc and results in the growth of Zn_3P_2. The synthesized zinc phosphide phase has been characterized using SEM, EDS, XRD and XPS. We report a simple and Repeatable Process for synthesis of Zn_3P_2 phase.

  • Using a predefined passphrase to evaluate a speaker verification system
    Artificial Intelligence Research, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jonathan Leet, John Gibbons, Charles C. Tappert, Vinnie Monaco
    Abstract:

    This article presents a standardized and Repeatable Process used to evaluate the performance of a speaker verification system.Through the use of a common passphrase and a subset of extracted feature vectors that outperforms other combinations, thestudy limits the exposure to potential experimental flaws, while measuring true biometric performance more effectively thanexisting evaluation methodologies. After collecting a dataset of 33 participants, the researchers achieved a performance rate of99.8% for the 22 users who contributed at least 20 text-dependent samples. The primary focus of the research, however, was toillustrate a variety of testing techniques that can be used to efficiently analyze the performance of a speaker verification systemand advocate the use of a common passphrase in this Process.
