Diffusivity of interstitial hydrogen in In2O3 from defect-pairing reaction kinetics
Abstract:
In2O3 is a transparent conducting oxide that finds wide-spread applications in transparent electrodes, flat panel displays, and low-emissivity windows. Interstitial hydrogen (Hi) in In2O3 gives rise to a shallow donor that is mobile at temperatures near 100{degree sign}C and that has an O-H vibrational line at 3304 cm‑1 (77K). In2O3 crystals grown by the flux method have been found to contain hydrogen with a concentration near 4x1017 cm-3 that is stably trapped in a form that is not readily seen by infrared spectroscopy. Hi can be dissociated from this trap by an anneal at elevated temperature followed by a rapid quench, a treatment that produces the O-H line at 3304 cm-1. The released Hi then undergoes a diffusion-controlled reaction to become retrapped. Theory considers possibilities for the identity of the trapping center for Hi that has been investigated here and the activation barriers for Hi motion. The kinetics of this reversible trapping process reveals a diffusion constant for Hi that is in agreement with a recent prediction by Franckel et al.

An Observational Study Analyzing the Relationship between Intrinsic Motivation, Mindset, and Grit with Respect to GPA in High School Students
A year-long capstone research project that quantitatively analyzed three relevant psychological markers against academic success, n = 32. Performed an ANOVA test and found a positive correlation between all factors independently against GPA, and a statistically significant correlation between intrinsic motivation and grit, with alpha = 0.05.
