Al gan ultraviolet photodetectors grown by molecular beam epitaxy on si(111) ...Kal Tar
The performance of AlGaN metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors grown on Si(111) substrates is presented. Three key points:
1) An adequate AlN buffer layer is critical to achieve visible-blind photodetectors and electrically insulate the epitaxial film from the conductive substrate.
2) Increasing the Al content produced a transition from photoconductor to MSM photodiode behavior, as seen from responsivity, temporal response, and UV/visible contrast.
3) Contact metal affects photoconductive gain and UV/visible contrast. Pt/Ti/Au contacts showed higher contrast than Ti/Al contacts due to lower dark currents.

The document summarizes results on the thermal stability of AlGaN/GaN HFETs up to 400°C. Transistors with standard Ti/Al ohmic and Pt Schottky contacts degraded rapidly after aging at 400°C, while those with WSiN diffusion barriers on the ohmic contacts and WSiN/Au or Ir/Au Schottky gates showed improved stability. The WSiN barriers led to smooth ohmic contact surfaces and well-defined edges, with contact resistance increasing only slightly to 0.77 ohm-mm after aging. HFETs using Ir/Au Schottky contacts on barriers with 25% Al demonstrated long-term stability at 400°C with the highest barrier

The document discusses how the author created a music magazine to target a specific audience based on research. Through surveys on Survey Monkey, the author found that most respondents were ages 17-25 and enjoyed a variety of music genres. This informed the content and design of the magazine to attract this demographic. Inspired by Billboard and NME magazines, the author chose a simple title and masthead design without bright colors that would distract from the content. The front cover features an attractive female model to attract both male and female readers through techniques like the male gaze. Overall, the magazine aims to attract its target audience through clean, easy-to-read design and content tailored to music-loving youth.
Lucy Twyman created a punk rock magazine called "CORRUPT" for a class project. She researched conventions from magazines like Kerrang! to make her magazine recognizable as a punk genre magazine, while also challenging some conventions. She used brighter colors on the cover than typical magazines to attract readers while still fitting the punk genre. Her photography and layouts on the inside pages were also influenced by conventions from magazines she researched but challenged in ways to better appeal to her target audience of 15-18 year old females interested in punk rock music.
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It summarizes that the front cover and double page spread use typical conventions like the masthead, color scheme, standfirst, drop cap, and pull quote to look realistic. However, the contents page challenges conventions by having an atypical layout with a large main image and non-column listings to portray a fresh, distinctive magazine for its target indie music audience. In conclusion, most elements follow conventions for realism while the contents page challenges norms to suit the magazine's genre and prevent boredom for its target readers.
This document discusses the ways in which the media product, a music magazine called "Simply Pop", develops conventions of real music magazines and represents particular social groups. The magazine aims to appeal to its target audience of females aged 15-17 by focusing solely on pop music and featuring popular artists like Jessie J. In terms of layout and design, the magazine adheres closely to typical magazine conventions like placement of the masthead and use of cover lines. It represents teenagers interested in pop music and aims to inspire and connect with its young, female readership.
This document contains a student's evaluation of their group magazine project. They initially planned to record their evaluation but were unable to find time. The student thinks working individually would have been better than relying on others. They believe their magazine challenges existing genres by focusing solely on live music.

The goal was to appeal to a wide audience including students, women and different racial groups.
My magazine targets females aged 12-16 who enjoy pop and R&B music. I researched conventions of music magazines to design my magazine to appeal to this audience. On the cover, I featured a 16-year old pop/R&B artist as the central image to connect with readers. I challenged conventions by having the model wear minimal makeup to show readers they don't need it. The contents page and double-page article follow conventions but with some unique design choices. IPC Media would be suited to distribute the magazine as it publishes diverse magazines but lacks a magazine for this target age group.

2. Planning and Preparation
I researched a range of music magazines to inspire me how to start my own one off. These
included: Uncut, Kerrang!, NME and Q magazine.
I mainly focused on NME because I wanted my magazine to have the same ‘too cool for school’
look and as it is called “Indie-Pendent” it relates to 14-25 year olds that love to listen to Indie
artists, go to gigs and find out about new/older artists just by independently buying the magazine.
Bands on the
front cover
look natural and
happy, which is
the same way I
want to make
my band on the
front cover
look like so it
looks fun yet
not fake.
Use of left side third is what
I have a preference to use as
it looks better and can be
seen on the shelf in
newsagents if put on it’s side
4. My media product focuses on a certain social group,
this group are14 – 25 year old students either studying at secondary school, college and
university. These people are up to date with technology, love to look good through fashion
and are very outgoing.
These young people mainly listen to indie pop/rock music, will like to go to festivals and gigs
that are big and small. They appreciate small gigs as it gives them an insight on how musicians
become successful, they also like to attend small gigs as it gives them a sense of originality and
are able to meet the musicians more easily.
They would also value music before their generation and continue to rediscover old music.
Some would class this social group as “Indie” or “Hipsters”. They would be my main readers
as it is acquired to their style and evidently represents this social group but my magazine also
welcomes any other social groups too.
5. Magazine Proposal
My aim is to create an Indie magazine that encourages 14-25 year olds of any ethnicity or sex, that
love indie music to create music of their own and make them feel that they have got what it takes
to make money out of doing what they love if that is their wish.
This is one of the reasons why I have chosen the title “Indie- Pendent” already. The second
reason is that I plan to price my magazine at £3.00 because I would like to make mainly teenagers
who feel they are somewhat too much of a liability to their parents feel more independent by being
able to buy the magazine with their own money. It is an affordable price for the average teenager
but not too cheap to make them think that it won’t be worth their time as well as money.
Teenagers who do not want to aspire to be a musician but really enjoy discovering both upcoming
artists and old ones that may have been forgotten by their generation, are able to rediscover them
and their songs to listen to so that they do not miss out on great music similar to UNCUT
magazine.
My magazine will be similar to NME magazine as it will be similar to the genre of musicians they
choose to talk about.
I have chosen the Indie music genre as I feel it is becoming a more well-liked genre of music among
certain teenagers and as it is still not hugely popular they’d want to find as much of this music as
they can and my magazine will intend to fill that hole.
The pictures I plan to take and manipulate will have a more darker look in comparison to other
music magazines published today because I want to challenge the normal forms and conventions.
This is because most music magazine publishing's try to attract the eye by being brightly coloured
therefore making a magazine like mine stand out and look out of the ordinary.
The written style will be informal, entertaining and amusing but at the same time informative so
that young people will not be overwhelmed with difficult words but comfortable and learn a few
new things at the same time.
7. My Front Page
I used a dark colour scheme with a warped background pattern to give a ‘cool’ feel to the
magazine rather than a colourful scheme as I thought it’d look to childish and tacky.
I used the font “Akoom” for the masthead and for the name of the band because it looked
different to normal magazines that are big and bold. I also used it because when I wrote
out “INDIEPENDENT” the ‘p’ separated the word into two as it leans forward which I
liked so I decided to use this font.
This font only uses capitals which grabs readers attention as people automatically think it’s
shouting out at you to reach your mind.
I chose to use white for the text because the background is very dark, black in some parts
which contrasts hugely and makes all the text stand out.
I put other well known indie bands and artists as the side headings
because this would encourage readers to look at the magazine
and get the impression that the main band on the front cover is a new
very successful band.
9. To attract my audience I decided that my main story in my magazine is going to be
about young people achieving a successful career in the music industry to show
that the target audience (14 -21 year old females & males) can achieve their dreams
of being a successful musicians.
I also made a pun in the name of the magazine as younger people find that witty and
fun.
10. My Contents Page
I used this layout as I could fit in a lot of storied this way to make it look packed full of
appealing stories. Then I added more articles and now it looks worth the amount of money it
costs, and looks organised. I also boxed the articles into two separate ones to give a structure
to the page as to where the reader should look first.
I added an unusual article about “Veronica Wire” as an entertainment article. It’s about
someone who is quite crazy which people like to read about and laugh at and it brings diversity
to the magazine.
I also added a competition in the contents page to give the opportunity for youngsters to win
tickets to a big festival as they can be quite expensive especially if recognised artists are playing
there like the ones I have mentioned in the contents.
I used the Akoom font again for “INSIDE” as it is like the
running theme and usual font for this magazine along with
the background pattern.
11. Double Page Spread
Research
I used the same kind of layout for my double page spread as the examples below. because I
wanted the text to be lined up neatly to make it look even weighted and professional
I put the image to the left side of the page and the text on the left. I did this for a simplistic
effect so that the reader could read with ease.
I noticed that the text is quite small and aligned efficiently and effectively so I wanted to do the
same thing and ultimately have the same effect for the readers.
12. My Double Page Spread
I put the quote “What’s in a name?..” in bold font because it is the start of a famous quote from
Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet which most students study at either secondary school, college or
University and will recognise. The fans of Shakespeare would like this and the others would wonder if
the band are fans creating interest in the interview.
it also links to the name of the band “The Nameless” which creates interest if it is coming from the
band. The reader will instantaneously realise that they are talking about why they came up with that
name for their band.
The fact that it is also a question get’s the reader asking why the band are asking a question
when the interview should be about them.
I put a little intro at the top of the page to construct the character and introduce what the interview
will be like. I started it with an enlarged ‘T’ as it is quite common for magazines to do this and is
pleasing to the eye.
I used blue to distinguish the interviewer from the
interviewees and red for the individual names of the band
members.
I then put “Download free nameless track now!” because
It is used in magazines such as NME. There is an emphasis
On “FREE” and “NOW” which are words of encouragement
and demand to listen to their tracks and in due course
makes the band more fans, popularity and money.
13. Audience Feedback
I used social network and blogging sites like Tumblr and Facebook to find out what young people
who are up to date with technology and social networking sites music taste’s were and if they’d
like my magazine. I used both qualitative and quantitative questions so that not only would I be
able to count up numbers but also be able to get an insight of what people like and think. I
asked the same 7 questions and got 4 responses back on Tumblr and 3 on Facebook.
These were the questions :
3. Are you male or female?
4. How old are you?
5. What is your favourite genre of music?
6. How much would you normally pay for a music magazine?
7. Would you buy my magazine?
8. If so how much would you pay for my magazine?
9. Do you subscribe to or buy any music magazines? If so please state.
10. What could I improve on?

18. £4
19. I have a Subscription to Uncut and buy NME every now and again
20. More Vintage stuff please!
18. How my magazine uses, develops and challenges forms and
conventions
19. ‘Indie Pendent’ uses forms and conventions of other factual music magazines as it is a
informative way of educating youngsters about new and vintage bands/artists, big and small
music events, albums and singles.
However it also challenges the forms and conventions of other magazines as the band are not
posing in the particular “serious” way that you see most of the time on the front covers of
magazines.
The colour scheme of my magazine challenges it because it is very unusual as published
magazines usually have one colour throughout.
I have included another little name under the main story “The Nameless” on the front cover
which challenges the forms and conventions because more often than not magazines put one
main Image only and is followed by a big quote from them which I have not done.
I tried to research magazine contents pages but could not find a structure I wanted to be
similar to so I structured it my own way
21. I think this media house publishing company would publish my
magazine because it produces both UNCUT and NME
magazine which are similar products to mine.
Most of it’s media brands reach women at about 66.7% in the UK
and men at 42% which is nearly even which means I will most
likely get around an almost even readership.
22. What I have learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product.
23. Photograph
yThe camera I used was an Olympus E-420 DSLR.
I didn’t know how to use a DSLR camera properly before the project.
As it was my friends camera he showed me how to use it before I took
the pictures. I also had to think of other aspects to shape my pictures. These were:
Mise - en - Scene
Costume : I told my main models to wear what they want because I wanted them to look natural and
not overdressed. I did this because as they are a ‘new successful band’ in my magazine I wanted to give the
notion that they’re still adjusting to their newer life as they still feel normal. I also wanted to give the
impression that just because they’re famous now that they’re not going to change and this is their own. They
wore skinny jeans and t-shirts which is a common thing to wear amongst their social groups.
Background Imagery: Most of the images were taken with Graffiti in the background. Although I was
told to use a blank background as it would be easier to edit I wanted to keep the graffiti as I thought I’d use
it because it said “Music” at the background but manipulate it to make it stand out a bit more. I also
deliberately kept it in my shots because it would reflect the inner-city areas that some young people like
‘The Nameless’ come from that have talent.
The other images were taken on stage, this was in a youth club that the band regularly visit to practice in.
Props: The props I used were the instruments on stage I asked them to start playing a track while I took
some shots to make it look natural and like they were playing at an actual gig.
24. Photography Cont.
Camera shot distance :
I took mainly Medium close up shots and long shots. This was because I wasn’t focusing on
the individuals of the band but as a group so if I wanted to fit them all in one image I'd have to
use those two shots. Also I knew that if I wanted a close up image I could crop it later on in
the editing stage.
Composition:
I took over 36 pictures of the band alone and 19 shots of Libby who posed as “Talulah Moon”
This allowed me to choose from a variety instead of being limited with a few. It also helped get
used to the camera and help me improve on the quality of pictures that I took so my images
got better and better.
25. Photoshop CS5
I also had very basic knowledge of Photoshop before I took up AS media so after playing
around with my images and tips shown by me by my college mentor I picked up key skills. This
included:
Improving skin quality:- Although I didn’t want to make the boys look perfect or superficial
some of them had sore looking skin at the time which made him stand out too much so I
calmed it down using the spot healing tool and the healing brush tool.
Cropping:– I used this tool quite often to get rid of bit or people in the background or to
separate the band members into individual images so that I could drag them and make them
appear to be closer together which I did on my double page spread. I did this by selecting the
tool and dragging the cursor over the bit of the image that I wanted and deleted the rest.
Burn tool : - I used this tool a lot on images to make it look darker and to cast shadows on the
bands faces on the front page.
27. For my competition to win tickets to a Festival picture on the contents page I took pictures from
the internet of students and manipulated them in one to make it look like a festival picture. I did
this because I couldn’t get hold of any festival pictures I had been to in the past and there weren’t
any I could go to at that time to take new ones.
28. What I feel I have learnt in progression from my preliminary
task to the full product
29. Preliminary Task - Music Magazine –
School Magazine Indiependent
It is plain to see how much I
have improved my magazine
making skills since the start of
the course .
The preliminary task is very
basic and bare looking and
there has scarcely been any
manipulation to the images.
In contrast, my music magazine
has used a variety of fonts,
edited images, is well
structured and is jam-packed
with detailed stories
30. Evaluation of skills
on the whole, I have improved greatly and developed skills throughout the course. I know
now how to use Photoshop effectively and to a high measure. I have learnt how to edit images
to a high standard, structure my text with a lot of detail and create convincing and
professional style magazine pages using the Photoshop software in depth. These editing
techniques have and will aid me in future also.
