Many semiconductors have been extensively studied due to their suitable value band gap and the very high electron mobility. Despite of their wide applications in device manufacturing, the utilizations of semiconductors in PEC is limited by the following facts: they corrode with photocurrent (anodic corrosion). Such degradation can be lowered by...

In this proposal we target engineering the structural, optical and electrical properties of selenium thin films. The Se films which are prepared by the physical vapor deposition technique under vacuum pressure of 10-5 mbar in our laboratory are of amorphous nature. They are also classified as insulators with optical band gap of 2.0 eV. The...

Human skin is the largest multifunctional organ of the human body. Its main function is protecting the human body from viruses, bacteria, dehydration (by maintaining water balance), and ultraviolet radiation damage [1]. During the cycle of life, human skin is affected by many factors such as the age, the environment, the interaction with different...

In this work, cupric oxide (CuO) thin film electrodes will be prepared using a simple and inexpensive electrodeposition method on the fluorine- doped tin oxide (FTO)/glass substrates. Several parameters will be controlled to enhance the conversion efficiency and stability of the prepared films under photoelectrochemical (PEC) conditions. These...

In this proposal, the terbium doping effect on the physical properties of Nd2Sn2O7 pyrochlore ceramics will be investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, impedance spectroscopy and temperature dependent current voltage characteristics. The effect of Tb on the...

Over the past two decades, Communication research has earned a considerable amount of scholarly attention by Arab academicians. In spite of that, no study has measured or explored the progression and development of the Arab communication scholarship. This study, first, aims to conduct a systematic literature review to investigate the progression...

To use advanced characterization methodologies at the department of Chemistry, Aston University, UK, with the aid of Dr Khalid Doudin to isolate and characterize the components of saps extracted which has been tested by Prof. Hazem Sawalha and shown to have antibacterial activities (Reference number 6 in the references list mentioned below). This...

To survey the incidence of iatrogenic failure in root canal treated teeth in Palestinian population of the west bank and Jerusalem, and to correlate the prevalence of that failure with variation of tooth location and anatomical morphology between anterior, premolar and molar teeth, as determined by digital panoramic radiograph collected from all...

Diabetes has been shown to be associated with several oral complications including candidiasis, dental caries and periodontitis (1). Impairment of host defense mechanisms, delayed wound healing and defect in the normal salivary flow are some factors that contribute in the development of oral diseases in diabetic patients (1,2). Pericoronitis is one...

In this project an indium metallic nano- layers of thickness of 20, 50, 100 and 200 nm will be sandwiched between two 500 nm thick Ga2S3 thin films by the physical vapor deposition technique under vacuum pressure of 10-5 torr. The effect of the In metal nanolayers on the structural, optical, dielectric and electrical properties will be investigated...
