Preparation of PMMA-based semiconductor / Rabaitul Waqiah Zakariya

In this study the Poly (methyl methacrylate) block with 10 mm thickness was irradiated using Electron Beam Accelerator at 50 kGy radiation dose. The energy band gap obtained from this irradiated sample was 3.50 eV which falls in the range of most common semiconductors. From the Hot Probe measure...
