CdTe Solar Cells

description: 26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3040-3044
description: In our laboratory CdTe solar cells are prepared by vacuum evaporation process (VE) with an
alternative activation treatment that avoids the use of CdCl2. This process consists of flowing chlorine containing gas
namely difluorochloromethane (Freon® R-22) and Argon into a quartz crystal tube at temperatures in the range of
400-440°C and subsequent air annealing. The process substitutes the typical CdCl2 activation treatment, avoiding
deposition of CdCl2. Back contact is made by deposition of standard Cu/Au stacks. Different solar cells with Freon
and CdCl2 treatment have been made and compared also with cells prepared by close space sublimation process
(CSS) and Freon activation.
Finished devices are analyzed by current-voltage and capacitance voltage at different temperatures, admittance and
drive level capacitance spectroscopy have been performed and the properties are correlated with the deposition and
activation parameters. Doping concentrations, defect densities, ideality factor and diode barrier height are calculated
according to the different deposition and post-deposition parameters.
Measurements have shown a high density of deep defects of the low temperature deposited CdTe devices compared
to CSS deposited samples that result to have higher carrier concentration. Doping concentration of the CdTe and band
gap profiling is strictly depending on the above mentioned parameters.
A preliminary analysis on the defect identification by admittance and deep level transient spectroscopy has been
performed and discussion on the possible interpretation of deep defects presence and lack of shallow defects is
suggested.

description: The point contact tunnel junctions between a one-dimensional topological superconductor and single-channel quantum Hall (QH) liquids are investigated theoretically with bosonization technology and renormalization group methods. For the $ν=1$ integer QH liquid, the universal low-energy tunneling transport is governed by the perfect Andreev reflection fixed point with quantized zero-bias conductance $G(0)=2e^{2}/h$, which can serve as a definitive fingerprint of the existence of a Majorana fermion. For the $ν=1/m$ Laughlin fractional QH liquids, its transport is governed by the perfect normal reflection fixed point with vanishing zero-bias conductance and bias-dependent conductance $G(V) \sim V^{m-2}$. Our setup is within reach of present experimental techniques.

title: Application of evolutionary machine learning in metamorphic malware analysis and detection
Creators: name: Babaagba, Kehinde Oluwatoyin
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2021

description: In recent times, malware detection and analysis are becoming key issues. A dangerous class of malware is metamorphic malware which is capable of modifying its own code and hiding malicious instructions within normal program code. Current malware detectors are susceptible to metamorphic malware as they are pre-trained to recognize only predicted versions of code. However, if detectors could be trained on a larger set of data that included potential mutant variants, they could be more accurate. The task of finding new evasive variants is challenging - many variants might exist.

In this research, a two-phase system is proposed. First, a mutation only Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) is used to search for a diverse set of new, malicious mutants, that evade detection by existing detection algorithms. While this is shown to be successful, it requires multiple runs of the algorithm to produce multiple variants without explicit guarantee of diversity. To address this, a Quality Diversity (QD) algorithm — MAP-Elites, that traverses a high-dimensional search space in search of the best solution at every point of a feature space with low dimension, is then developed to return a large and diverse repertoire of solutions in a single run. This method produces a larger and more diverse archive of solutions than the mutation only Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) and sheds insight into the properties of a sample that lead to them being undetectable by a suite of existing detection engines.

Having created a set of evasive and diverse variants, detectors are then trained using a set of classical classification methods (feature-based and sequence-based models) with results showing that classification of metamorphic malware can be improved by augmenting training data with the diverse set of evolved variant samples. This also includes the use of a pretrained Natural Language Processing (NLP) model in a transfer learning setting to show improved classification of metamorphic malware, using the evolved variants as part of the training data.

description: Zosterops alberti Rothschild and Hartert Zosterops alberti Rothschild and Hartert, 1908b: 364 (San Cristobal). Now Zosterops rendovae rendovae Tristram, 1882. See Mees, 1961a: 157–162, Mayr, 1967: 313, Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 397, and van Balen, 2008: 464. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 700667, adult male, collected on Anuta (5 Yanuta) Island, 10.20S, 161.21E (USBGN, 1974b), Makira (5 San Cristobal) Island, Solomon Islands, on 25 April 1908, by Albert S. Meek (no. 4078). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Rothschild and Hartert designated as the holotype the specimen bearing Meek’s unique number 4078. Their type series comprised three males and three females from Anuta and Makira, with Meek’s numbers listed. Paratypes, all collected in 1908, are: Makira, females, AMNH 700665 (Meek no. 4124), 1 May; AMNH 700666 (4123), 1 May; Anuta, males, AMNH 700668 (4086), 26 April; AMNH 700669 (4102) 27 April; female, AMNH 700670 (4103), 27 April. The entire island of San Cristobal is today called Makira, but there is a Makira Harbor in the northwest part of the island within which is the island of Anuta. This is undoubtedly where Meek anchored his boat. Mees (1961a: 157–162) and van Balen (2008: 464) correctly used Z. r. rendovae for the Makira subspecies as it was shown that the original description of rendovae applied to the Makira bird.

title: The impact of usability, social and organisational factors on students' use of learning management systems in Saudi tertiary education
Creators: name: Alshehri, Ahmed Ali M.
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2021

description: Advances in e-learning have reshaped universities worldwide. Universities place great emphasis on technology-enhanced learning development and are investing significantly in information technology infrastructure. However, in spite of this effort and investment, it seems that instructors and students do not fully benefit from learning technology, and more often Learning Management Systems (LMSs) remain underutilized. This is evident in Saudi higher education where LMSs have recently been introduced. Understanding the factors affecting the use of LMSs and prompting their engagement are therefore crucial to the success of such platforms. This study aims to fill this gap by examining usability, and organisational and social factors affecting the students’ intentions and use of LMSs in Saudi tertiary education. To this end, a theoretical framework was proposed that combined perceived usability attributes with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) variables to identify the impact on students’ intention and use of the LMS. Furthermore, the study examined the moderating effect of demographic characteristics (gender, age, experience, and training) on the model’s proposed relationships.

This study used a quantitative approach to validate the proposed model and test the research hypotheses. A cross-sectional survey method was adopted to collect the data. Using the probability multi-stage cluster-sampling technique, the empirical data were collected from five state universities in different regions of Saudi Arabia. The data were coded, cleaned, and preliminarily analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) package. In total, 605 responses were usable for testing the measurement and structural model, employing partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique and SmartPLS software. The results reveal the significant drivers of student use of LMS and the moderating effect of demographics on the proposed relationships. The results confirm that the study model is valid and reliable to indicate the key factors that influence the use of LMS. The dimension of social influence emerged to significantly influence the students’ usage behaviour. The performance expectancy was affected by information quality and the system interactivity whereas the effort expectancy was influenced by system navigation, system learnability and instructional assessment. The statistical analysis reveals that six associations were moderated by the four proposed personal characteristics. In the light of the findings of this study, recommendations were put forward to universities to gain insights into the best way to promote e-learning system popularity and acceptance among students.

For our analysis we consider as paradigmatic example the 750 GeV excess previously seen at the end of 2015 with the Run 2 data of the LHC but not confirmed with 2016 data.

description: The paper describes the design and operation results of nine megawatt PV plants operating in Germany between the Baltic Sea and the Alps in 2007. One plant operates with two-axis tracked movers, whereas the other plants use
fixed, mostly optimally oriented generator planes. One plant is equipped with CdTe modules. Central inverter concepts with different designs and string inverters were applied. The final yield was mainly found to be between 950 kWh/kW and 1180 kWh/kW. The annual yield of the tracked plant was 27% higher than the yield of a neighbouring plant. The mean yield of well designed and installed PV plants in the investigated regions can reach about 1000 kWh/kW. No difference was found between the annual yields of thin film plant and the Si based plants. The correct measurement of the in-plane irradiations seems to be a crucial problem for a deeper analysis of the PV plants.

We construct a linear basis of a free GDN-Poisson algebra. We define a notion of a special GDN-Poisson admissible algebra, based on X. Xu's definition and an S.I. Gelfand's observation (see \cite{Gelfand}). It is a differential algebra with two commutative associative products and some extra identities. We prove that any GDN-Poisson algebra is embeddable into its universal enveloping special GDN-Poisson admissible algebra. Also we prove that any GDN-Poisson algebra with the identity $x\circ(y\cdot z)=(x\circ y )\cdot z +(x\circ z) \cdot y$ is isomorphic to a commutative associative differential algebra.

description: Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon solar cells were deposited with a VHF inline deposition
system. The particularity of the process is the movement of substrates during deposition beneath linear plasma
sources (500x100mm) operated at 81.36MHz. The method is predestinated for roll-to-roll deposition of silicon based
thin film solar cells on flexible substrates. Therefore in this work a-Si:H solar cells were deposited on polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) covered with a ZnSnOx barrier layer and an ITO front contact layer. The focus was on the
mechanical stability of flexible solar cells when exposed to tensile and compressive stress at different stages of the
manufacturing process. Up to now initial efficiencies of 5.92% for a-Si:H p-i-n solar cells were achieved at 140°C on
flexible PET-substrates. Maximum initial efficiencies of 9.47% were achieved on glass at slightly elevated
temperatures.

description: We present first results of transparent conductive TNO thin films on glass used as transparent electrode for solar
cells. These TNO thin films are deposited by DC and pulsed DC sputtering. Despite of the high optical and electrical
requirements of transparent conductive oxides (TCO), low manufacturing costs are most important for industrial
applications. This intention leads the Fraunhofer FEP to focus the research on a new generation of Indium free TCO
materials for large area sputtering. One of these new Indium free TCO materials is TNO.
The TNO thin films have been sputtered from a ceramic Titania target with a content of approximately 6% Nb. We
used a dynamic deposition process in a large area in-line sputtering plant up to a maximum substrate width of 400
mm. We investigated the effect of process pressure, pulse duty cycle and annealing temperature on the characteristics
of the TNO layers.
The optical properties of TNO thin films have been measured by VIS/ NIR spectrometry. Hall measurements were
used to determine the free carrier density, free carrier mobility. For an evaluation of the crystalline phases of the thin
films, XRD measurements have been carried out.
title: Illuminating the importance of craftsmanship in compassionate caring and facilitating its development in student nurses
Creators: name: Adamson, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis provides a critical reflection on my original contributions to knowledge in the field of nursing practice and nurse education over the last decade. Collectively my eight selected papers demonstrate an ongoing and incrementally developing conceptual approach. This culminates in the presentation, within my final capstone paper, of my original recombinant innovation. In this paper, application of the innovation is articulated through a compassionate craftsmanship relational model, which fuses multivalent ideas from the fields of compassionate care and craftsmanship. Combining these disparate and frequently tacit elements together required diligence and courage in a world where fixed solutions are increasingly prominent. My innovative relational model is, however, importantly designed to be used as a heuristic device to promote reflection within nurse education and compassionate care.

The papers are grouped into three sets. The initial group of papers focus on the nature of nursing expertise and compassionate care. They illuminate important elements of care practice made possible through possession and application of often hidden tacit knowledge stored up in the mind of the nurse. The implicit underpinning concepts revealed in this research became progressively more explicit and well-articulated over the ten-year period as I developed my approach and thinking in relation to similarities between compassionate nursing expertise and craftsmanship.

A second suite of papers shares a common methodological focus where qualitative approaches were used to gather stories in a novel way. The “emotional touch-points” method was used to capture stakeholder experiences of compassionate care and caring. The stories served as a powerful mechanism to gain insights into the lived experience of others. This approach held pragmatic value for patients, nurses and students, because the stories transformed thinking and motivated action, importantly feeding into the golden thread of compassionate craftsmanship.

The third set of papers demonstrates my interest in applying ideas from my practice-based research to educational environments by integrating the findings and stakeholder stories in a range of original pedagogical initiatives. Through implementation of these novel approaches, development in compassionate care and nursing ‘know-how’ was facilitated in student nurses. The educationally oriented papers articulate the positive impact and contribution to the fields of nursing and nurse education achieved through supporting learning in this area.

title: The potentiality of play: the shifting design language of play-based learning
Creators: name: Jain, Pankhuri Sanjay
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis, underpinned by cross-cultural design ethnography (DE) and research through design (RtD), re-reads play-based learning constructs as design practice. In doing so, it charts the shifting relationship between design and theories of play-based learning. The work frames the design of play-based learning processes, from their emergence in historical learning environments such as the Montessori method to current pedagogies of STEAM learning. This evolutionary focus will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders such as pedagogues, designers, and policy makers, each of whom contribute to where, what and how children are taught. This thesis presents the following arguments: Firstly, it frames and re-reads key historical play pedagogues as designers and design thinkers, whose work has shaped and influenced the evolution of play-based learning through the inception of play artefacts, spaces, and structures.

This thesis further elucidates that design-thinking has been at the heart of play-based learning, demonstrated through the design of modular and standardised pedagogic objects and spaces of historic learning environments. The design evolution within this framework helps to enlighten the development of tinkering and iterative prototyping as twenty-first century affordances of learning through play. Secondly, this thesis uses observation-based design ethnography of the Montessori method, to argue that Montessori’s restrictive pedagogy can be counterproductive to learning through intuitive processes of exploration and iteration. Thirdly, by adapting the practice-based research method of research through design (RtD), the thesis demonstrates and proposes that twenty-first century design affordances of tinkering and iteration can be suitably integrated to enrich historic play-based learning environments such as the Montessori method. In each of these arguments, the ways in which pedagogic theories of play are interwoven with the language of design thinking are revealed.

By bringing into focus the triad of play, pedagogy, and design, an additional educational landscape of twenty-first century cultural learning environments is explored. Cultural learning environments (CLEs) such as museums and public galleries extend the scope of play-based learning beyond formalised spaces of schools and bring into relief, the predominance of design while incepting platforms, ateliers, and activities to initiate learning through play.

description: Background: Recent research has shown that inflammation plays a key role in coronary artery disease (CAD) and other manifestations of atherosclerosis. Several lines of evidence support a key role for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a potent immunomodulator and pro-inflammatory cytokine, in the development of atherosclerosis and in complications of CAD. Methods: We investigated the possible association between CAD and the TNF gene promoter polymorphisms –308G>A and –1031T>C in a Tunisian population. We compared the distribution of these polymorphisms between 418 patients with CAD and 406 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length-polymorphism analysis. Results: The frequency of the TNF-α –308A allele in the control group was similar to that observed in CAD patients [p=0.78; odds ratio (OR)=1.15; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.86–1.55], but higher than those described in other Europeans, such as in the French, Finnish and Spanish. Concerning the TNF-α –1031T/C polymorphism, the same distribution was observed between patients with CAD and controls (p=0.12; OR=1.27; 95% CI=0.94–1.72). In addition, the genotype and allele frequencies of control individuals were comparable to those previously reported in healthy Tunisian controls and other ethnic groups. Haplotype analysis (TNF-α –308G>A and –1031T>C) demonstrated no significant association between TNF haplotypes and CAD. Conclusions: We conclude that TNF promoter gene polymorphisms at position –308G>A and –1031T>C do not play a major role in the pathogenesis of CAD in the Tunisian population.

description: As thin film technology gains market share over crystalin wafer based photovoltaics, more stringent demands
are placed on thin film deposition, particularly on the key PECVD process steps of a-Si:H and μc-Si.
The manufacturing of large surface solar panels involves the use of large quantities of pyrophoric and flammable gases such
as silane and hydrogen. This poses new challenges not only because of the flammability of those gases, but also because of
the presence of large amount of particles diluted into the exhausted by-products. These particles, both alone and when
modified by absorption/trapping of silane and di-silane gases, can auto-ignite, and in sufficient quantity create a detonation,
when exposed to oxidizing gases such as oxygen of the air.
In the following, we review the growth mechanism of the particles in the plasma gas phase, as well as the different forces
experienced by those particles with respect with their size. Depending upon the design of the deposition tool and the
process sequence, the particles will be transported in different ways from the process chamber to the pump exhaust. We
then review the main detonation parameters of Silicon dust and Poly-silane compounds, and analyze the different ignition
sources and conditions which favour detonation of these particles. Finally, given that these now common processes create
extremely hazardous conditions, we present the Alcatel solutions and guidelines for a safe utilization of high throughput
PECVD equipment.

description: For a massive vector field with derivative self-interactions, the breaking of the gauge invariance allows the propagation of a longitudinal mode in addition to the two transverse modes. We consider generalized Proca theories with second-order equations of motion in a curved space-time and study how the longitudinal scalar mode of the vector field gravitates on a spherically symmetric background. We show explicitly that cubic-order self-interactions lead to the suppression of the longitudinal mode through the Vainshtein mechanism. Provided that the dimensionless coupling of the interaction is not negligible, this screening mechanism is sufficiently efficient to give rise to tiny corrections to gravitational potentials consistent with solar-system tests of gravity. We also study the quartic interactions with the presence of non-minimal derivative coupling with the Ricci scalar and find the existence of solutions where the longitudinal mode completely vanishes. Finally, we discuss the case in which the effect of the quartic interactions dominates over the cubic one and show that local gravity constraints can be satisfied under a mild bound on the parameters of the theory.

description: Roth&Rau AG is offering Close Spaced Sublimation (CSS) deposition tools for CdTe solar modules.
The advantages of this technique are high deposition rates of some μm per minute and an excellent utilisation of the
raw material, leading to low production costs and competitive module prices. Recently Roth & Rau established in
close cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technique (FEP) in Dresden a
laboratory with a pilot line which is dedicated to research on CdTe solar cells. The pilot line covers all relevant
process steps such as TCO deposition, CSS deposition of semiconductor layers, wet chemical surface treatment and
cleaning, back contact formation by thermal evaporation and/or sputtering. Analytical investigations are done in the
well equipped lab cover the development of single processes and the improvement of solar cell devices. Subsequent
improvement of the process flow leads to efficiencies of 10% and above. Another gain up to 12% and above can be
expected by further improvement of the TCO/CdS/CdTe interfaces.

description: Industrial crystalline Si Solar cells today are mostly formed by applying a diffusion process. A
diffusion source delivers at an elevated temperature doping atoms of one type that are diffusing into the base
substrate of opposite doping type. In this publication a closer look is taken at the top-most phosphorous doped emitter
regions of solar cells formed by in-line P-diffusion on p-type Si substrates.
It will be shown that the top-most emitter shows anomalous regions. The presence of strongly precipitated regions is
likely to be common for most diffusion processes that apply dopant concentrations in excess of the solid solubility
limit or that incorporate electrically inactive doping atoms.
Knowledge about the existence and the formation of precipitated regions led to strategies minimising or avoiding
anomalous emitter regions allowed improving the performance of c-Si solar cells. This paper describes progress in
that respect applying advanced characterisation techniques.

Piezomagnetic effect as a counterpart of negative thermal expansion in magnetically frustrated Mn-based antiperovskite nitrides

description: Electric-field control of magnetization promises to substantially enhance the energy efficiency of device applications ranging from data storage to solid-state cooling. However, the intrinsic linear magnetoelectric effect is typically small in bulk materials. In thin films electric-field tuning of spin-orbit interaction phenomena (e.g., magnetocrystalline anisotropy) has been reported to achieve a partial control of the magnetic state. Here we explore the piezomagnetic effect (PME), driven by frustrated exchange interactions, which can induce a net magnetization in an antiferromagnet and reverse its direction via elastic strain generated piezoelectrically. Our $ab~initio$ study of PME in Mn-antiperovskite nitrides identified an extraordinarily large PME in Mn$_3$SnN available at room temperature. We explain the magnitude of PME based on features of the electronic structure and show an inverse-proportionality between the simulated zero-temperature PME and the negative thermal expansion at the magnetic (Néel) transition measured by Takenaka et al. in 9 antiferromagnetic Mn$_3$AN systems.

description: An alternative approach to the silver thick film metallization for the front side of silicon solar cells can
be implemented by electroless nickel and copper deposition. One of the most challenging problems for a wetchemical
metallization sequence using nickel and copper is the phenomenon of background plating. Hereby the metal
is not only deposited on the opened emitter structure but also on the insulating PECVD silicon nitride layer which
causes additional shading to the solar cell. Contact properties of the metallization like contact resistance, adhesion
and line resistance must be optimized. The nickel-silicon contact can be enhanced by an additional sintering step. In
this paper the requirements for an adequate nickel silicide formation are discussed and it is shown how to reduce the
problem of background plating on PECVD SiNx:H surfaces.

description: Protein-peptide molecular docking is a difficult modeling problem. It is even more challenging when significant conformational changes that may occur during the binding process need to be predicted. In this chapter, we demonstrate the capabilities and features of the CABS-dock server for flexible protein-peptide docking. CABS-dock allows highly efficient modeling of full peptide flexibility and significant flexibility of a protein receptor. During CABS-dock docking, the peptide folding and binding process is explicitly simulated and no information about the peptide binding site or its structure, is used. This chapter presents a successful CABS-dock use for docking a potentially therapeutic peptide to a protein target. Moreover, simulation contact maps, a new CABS-dock feature, are described and applied to the docking test case. Finally, a tutorial for running CABS-dock from the command line or command line scripts is provided. The CABS-dock web server is available from http://biocomp.chem.uw.edu.pl/CABSdock/
