description: Comprehension of metabolic pathways is considerably enhanced by metabolic flux analysis (MFA-ILE) in isotope labeling experiments. The balance equations are given by hundreds of algebraic (stationary MFA) or ordinary differential equations (nonstationary MFA), and reducing the number of operations is therefore a crucial part of reducing the computation cost. The main bottleneck for deterministic algorithms is the computation of derivatives, particularly for nonstationary MFA. In this article we explain how the overall identification process may be speeded up by using the adjoint approach to compute the gradient of the residual sum of squares. The proposed approach shows significant improvements in terms of complexity and computation time when it is compared with the usual (direct) approach. Numerical results are obtained for the central metabolic pathways of Escherichia coli and are validated against reference software in the stationary case.

description: The application of photography to astronomy was a critical step in the development of astrophysics at the end of the nineteenth century. Using custom-built photographic telescopes and objective prisms, astronomers took images of the sky on glass plates during a 100-year period from many observing stations around the globe. After each plate was developed, astronomers and their assistants studied and annotated the plates as they made astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic measurements, counted galaxies, observed stellar variability, tracked meteors, and calculated the ephemerides of asteroids and comets. In this paper, the authors assess the importance of the plate annotations for future scientific, historical, and educational programs. Unfortunately, many of these interesting annotations are now being erased when grime is removed from the plates before they are digitized to make the photometric data available for time-domain astrophysics. To see what professional astronomers and historians think about this situation, the authors conducted a survey. This paper captures the lively discussion on the pros and cons of the removal of plate markings, how to best to document them if they must be cleaned off, and what to do with plates whose annotations are deemed too valuable to be erased. Three appendices to the paper offer professional guidance on the best practices for handling and cleaning the plates, photographing any annotations, and rehousing them.

description: We have investigated the application of graphene layers to the TCO/p-layer interface in a-Si solar cells
in order to reduce a Schottky barrier height at its interface and improve open-circuit voltage (Voc) .Since, graphene is
a zero gap and p-type semiconductor, its Fermi level can be easily moved by charge transfer from TCO and p-layer.
Therefore, we expected the Schottky barrier at TCO and graphene/p-layer interface should be lower and an opencircuit
voltage can be improved. High quality graphene films were fabricated by CVD method and have been
transferred onto TCO substrates by both thermal release tape and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) assisted process.
After that p-i-n type solar cells were deposited by plasma CVD process. It has been confirmed that the transferred
graphene can fully covered all over TCO’s surface. Furthermore, solar cells with transferred graphene show higher
cell performance with higher open-circuit voltage of over 40 mV, showing that the insertion of graphene at the
TCO/p-layer interface can be alternative method to lower the Schottky barrier.

description: We propose an analytic electro-optical model for solar cells, and we apply it to investigate the interplay
between non-radiative recombination and light trapping in crystalline silicon p-n junctions. We adopt a Lambertian
scatterer as prototype for devices incorporating light trapping, and we take into account recombination both in the
bulk and at interfaces by calculating analytic solutions of the transport equations. We show that solar cells with
Lambertian light trapping and characteristic thickness of the order of a few tens of microns are the best choice in
terms of conversion efficiency. By using our model, we quantify the optimal thickness depending on the materia l
quality. Surface dynamics become a crucial factor when reducing the devices thickness and its importance is
amplified in real devices where textures are used to implement light trapping, due to increased surface area. We
estimate the maximum level of (effective) surface recombination which is required for thin-film cells to overcome the
bulk ones, and to approach their realistic ultimate efficiency.

description: We consider a system of two cubic-quintic non-linear Schrödinger equations in two dimensions, coupled by repulsive cubic terms. We analyse situations in which a probe lump of one of the modes is surrounded by a fluid of the other one and analyse their interaction. We find a realization of D'Alembert's paradox for small velocities and non-trivial drag forces for larger ones. We present numerical analysis including the search of static and traveling form-preserving solutions along with simulations of the dynamical evolution in some representative examples.

description: 10-μm-thick polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films are formed by crystallizing thick precursor
amorphous Si (a-Si) films by flash lamp annealing (FLA), using a millisecond-order pulse light emitted from a Xe
flash lamp. Such thick precursor a-Si films are prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD). Cat-
CVD can provide a-Si films with low hydrogen content and resulting low film stress. Further precise control of the
stress of a-Si films by changing the temperatures of a catalyzing wire and/or a holder during a-Si deposition enables
to deposit 10-μm-thick a-Si films without cracking or peeling during deposition. We have confirmed the sufficient
crystallization of a-Si films by a single shot of flash pulse irradiation not only near the surface but close to the bottom
of a 10-μm-thick Si film. This is due to proper annealing duration and resulting thermal diffusion length in a-Si and
glass. Increase in the thickness of poly-Si films, achieved in this study, will contribute to enhance light absorption
and resulting increase in the performance of solar cells fabricated by using the poly-Si films.

description: Two methods for crystallization of silicon that are electron beam annealing and rapid thermal process
(RTP) method were conducted for comparative analysis. The p-type amorphous silicon (a-Si) layer was deposited
using electron beam assisted deposition (EBAD) system on the cleaned p-type silicon (Si) wafer. Each samples were
exposed to linear electron beam and conducted to rapid thermal process for crystallization, subsequently. After the
electron beam annealing and RTP process, both samples showed micro crystalline phase with <111> orientation. The
deposited films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction
(XRD). Effects on contents of oxygen and hydrogen during annealing process were measured by glow-discharge
optical emission spectroscope (GD-OES).

description: Low-cost high-throughput epitaxy is one of the keystones for reducing the PV module cost to far below
50 €ct/Wp by new “kerfless” cell concepts. At Fraunhofer ISE the ProConCVD (Production Continuous Chemical Vapour
Deposition) was developed to demonstrate feasibility of such a process. First long term experiments could proof the reliability
and the reproducibility of the tool. 1300 multicrystaline silicon (mc-Si) wafers of 156 mm x 156 mm size were coated during
24 experiments in 4 weeks. With SiCl4 as a precursor it was possible to deposit 9 μm thick epitaxial layers within 45 minutes.
Thickness homogeneity higher than 90% was achieved over nearly 270 mm deposition width. Since at the edges of the reaction
chamber a reduction of the deposited Si film can be observed, we investigated in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) to
identify the underlying reasons. The purpose of this work is to report the potential and the limitations of the current models. It
could be shown that the gas inlet setup of the ProConCVD already uses 80 % of its theoretical potential in reference to the
growth rate and the layer thickness homogeneity in transport direction is higher than 87 %.

description: Grain boundaries (GBs) in semiconductors such as polycrystalline silicon are known to be detrimental
for electronic devices, and in particular for solar cells. However, conduction channels observed at GBs might also be
beneficial for novel devices. Techniques based on beam induced local excitation of charge carriers like Electron and
Light Beam Induced Current (EBIC and LBIC, respectively), allow to visualize the local influence of GBs and to
gain access to the local properties of (opto)electronic devices. However, in order to extract quantitative parameters,
suitable modeling is required to translate the E/LBIC current contrast into material and GB parameters like
recombination rate or defect density. We present a 2D simulation study, using the Sentaurus TCAD environment, of
the specific GB-LBIC technique applied to polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) material. The experimental requirements
for contacts and illumination are investigated in order to evaluate the local information accessible with this method.

description: Exploring an upper limit of magnetic anisotropy in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, is at the heart of spintronics research. Herein, an atomic-scale perpendicular magnetic anisotropy up to an order of 100 meV per atom, which is far beyond the ordinarily obtained value in graphene and pristine transition metal dichalcogenides, is demonstrated in individual ruthenium and osmium adatoms at a monosulfur vacancy in molybdenum disulfide. We further propose a phenomenological model where a spin state transition that involves hybridization between molybdenum a1 and adatomic e' orbitals is a possible mechanism for magnetization reorientation.

description: We review the depinning and nonequilibrium phases of collectively interacting particle systems driven over random or periodic substrates. This type of system is relevant to vortices in type-II superconductors, sliding charge density waves, electron crystals, colloids, stripe and pattern forming systems, and skyrmions, and could also have connections to jamming, glassy behaviors, and active matter. These systems are ideal for exploring the broader issues of characterizing transient and steady state nonequilibrium flow phases as well as nonequilibrium phase transitions between distinct dynamical phases, analogous to phase transitions between different equilibrium states. We discuss elastic and plastic depinning on random substrates and the different types of nonequilibrium phases that produce features in the velocity-force curves, fluctuation spectra, scaling relations, and local or global particle ordering. We describe how these quantities change depending on dimension, anisotropy, disorder strength, and the presence of hysteresis. Within the moving phase we discuss transitions from a liquid-like state to dynamically ordered moving crystal, smectic, or nematic states. Systems with periodic or quasiperiodic substrates can have multiple nonequilibrium transitions in the moving state between chaotic and coherent phases, and can exhibit hysteresis. We also discuss systems with competing repulsive and attractive interactions, which undergo dynamical transitions into stripes and other complex morphologies when driven over random substrates. Throughout this work we highlight open issues and future directions such as absorbing phase transitions, nonequilibrium work relations, inertia, the role of non-dissipative dynamics such as Magnus effects, and how these results could be extended to the broader issues of plasticity in crystals, amorphous solids, and jamming phenomena.

description: Silicon CVD is required to realise the upcoming “kerfless” c-Si thin-film solar cell concepts, like
EpiCell, Lift-off and recrystallized wafer equivalent solar cells. To realise these solar cell concepts, a high throughput
reactor with the possibility of continuous deposition is needed. For this reason, the ConCVD is the first epitaxy tool
with a continuous wafer transport through the entire system. The requirements for such a machine are very
sophisticated. Despite the open construction, the flammable and toxic reactor atmosphere must be separated from the
surrounding atmosphere and the other way around, impurities must not get inside the reactor. This work reports on
process improvement and solar cell results on layers deposited in the ConCVD at Fraunhofer ISE. The ConCVD
(Continuous CVD) is a link between lab type reactors and a production reactor (ProConCVD), also developed at the
Fraunhofer ISE. Setup improvements could enhance deposition conditions by providing a particle free environment.
Furthermore, processes optimisations in this new setup lead to a solar cell result of 13.8%.
Chiral fermions in asymptotically safe quantum gravity

description: We study the consistency of dynamical fermionic matter with the asymptotic safety scenario of quantum gravity using the functional renormalisation group. Since this scenario suggests strongly coupled quantum gravity in the UV, one expects gravity-induced fermion self-interactions at energies of the Planck-scale. These could lead to chiral symmetry breaking at very high energies and thus to large fermion masses in the IR. The present analysis which is based on the previous works \cite{Christiansen:2015rva, Meibohm:2015twa}, concludes that gravity-induced chiral symmetry breaking at the Planck scale is avoided for a general class of NJL-type models, regardless of the number of fermion flavours. This suggests that the phase diagram for these models is topologically stable under the influence of gravitational interactions.

absorbers based on a liquid phase diode laser crystallization process resulting in grains up to 1 mm in size. Different
types of emitters are employed. Based on a second laser crystallization process using pulsed excimer laser irradiation,
a homoemitter is generated from amorphous silicon by liquid phase epitaxy. The resulting mesa cells yield an
efficiency of 7.8% with open circuit voltages VOC of 545 mV and short circuit current densities JSC of 23.5 mA/cm².
Furthermore, we applied an a-Si:H heteroemitter to the laser crystallized absorber. On planar substrates similar JSC
and VOC as compared to the homojunction were reached. By using nanowire structured absorbers, JSC increases by
20% resulting in an efficiency of 8.7%.

description: Using Photonic Crystals (PC) to pattern the top surface of thin film solar cells aims at increasing
absorption in the red part of the solar spectrum. In this conference, we explain that a PC also introduces
new optical properties for high energy photons since they can be channeled through the holes of the
PC itself. Then, optical intensity at the corresponding wavelength is mainly located into the air (or
cladding media), leading to a lower effective absorbing constant compared to the bulk material. In other
words, these photons can be absorbed further from a carrier collector located at the surface, where carrier
recombinations are elevated due to a high doping level. Unfortunately, surface recombinations are even
more critical since the residual absorption of the channeled photons is mainly located on the lateral
surface of the holes.
In this communication, we focus on the influence of the junction location, the shape of the top contact
doping profile (conformal or not) and on the influence of the surface passivation to obtain a robust devices.

description: Librarianship and Fostering an Inclusive Research Community In this presentation, we aim to demonstrate the importance of instructional outreach and programming to non-degree seeking graduate students. This population has been largely ignored by university administrators and librarians because of their unique and challenging classifications. Non-degree seeking students at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) can be classified as Golden ID students which are retired residents of the State who wish to take courses, and students enrolled in singular courses for professional development or other professional accreditation requirements. Importantly, however, non-degree seeking students can also be students taking courses towards graduate certificates, students enrolled in order to gauge interest and aptitude in a program, or students looking to gain experience in a program to aid in admissions decisions. In Spring 2018, we distributed a survey to students at our institution to gauge their motivations for enrolling as non-degree seeking students, as well as their familiarity with library spaces and services, both at UMD and at their previous institutions. As our data show, students within this classification have multiple goals; all of which can be assisted by the university library to varying degrees. We will argue that these students present a conduit to aid in university graduate matriculation, student success, and a potentially influential alumni network. Our goals for this study are to assess the needs and gaps in knowledge of non-degree seeking students and determine an appropriate and beneficial library intervention to aid in their work, to establish a closer connection between the Graduate School administration, and to market library services to both traditional and non-traditional graduate students. Our presentation will share our findings from our survey, as well as our recommendations for serving this unique student population at UMD moving forward. Goals: Assess the needs and gaps in knowledge of non-degree seeking students and determine an appropriate and beneficial library intervention to aid in their work.

description: We deposit n+ polycrystalline silicon (pc-Si) thin films on glass substrates by atmospheric pressure
CVD, using trichlorosilane as a Si source and PCl3 as a phosphorous source. The structural and electrical
characterization of the films, involving measurements of X-rays diffraction, reflectance in the UV region, SEM
microscopy, electrical conductivity as a function of temperature and Hall effect, reveal a material suitable to act as
emitter in a solar cell. To prove the concept we deposit c-Si (p) / pc-Si (n+) junctions, and we characterize them by
measurements of the I-V curve and the quantum efficiency. Despite a high series resistance, which degrades the fill
factor, the cells show high values of open circuit voltage (~500 mV) and short circuit current (~25 mA/cm2), and a
wide spectral response. The results are encouraging for the deposition of low-cost polycrystalline thin film silicon
solar cells on glass by CVD.

description: We introduce a new self-consistent simulation approach for rapid estimation of deposition uniformity in
large-area high frequency capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) discharges. The model integrates the numerical solution of
Maxwell equations in a fluid plasma model, by continuous modification of an appropriate analytical formula describing
the electromagnetic standing wave effect in axisymmetric cylindrical and rectangular CCP reactors.The reliability of the
computationally effective model is successfully validated through comparison to experimental data and simulation results
produced from a considerably more complicated self-consistent approach for a 150 mTorr Argon discharge in a 40 cm
diameter cylindrical CCP reactor. As a final point, the simulation procedure is applied to a 1 Torr hydrogen-diluted silane
discharge in a cylindrical reactor operated at 40 MHz, allowing for a fast assessment of electromagnetic effect in plasma
parameters and deposited film profiles.

degradation in Voc and FF after contact bake. When selective high concentration doping near absorber (p+) contacts
were made, the degradation can be completely avoided. The interaction between the aluminum and lightly doped
absorber (p-) silicon is found to be responsible for the degradation problem. It was found that slight contact between
the p- layer and aluminum can provide the degradation which may be responsible from high contact resistance made
from p- layer and aluminium layer. A new optimized design for selective high concentration doping near absorber
was proposed in order to minimize Jsc loss. Experimental results have shown that this new design can improve Jsc up
to 23.4 mA.

description: In this paper, we study the properties of the twist-3 distribution amplitude (DA) of the heavy pseudo-scalars such as $η_c$, $B_c$ and $η_b$. New sum rules for the twist-3 DA moments $\left_{\rm HP}$ and $\left_{\rm HP}$ up to sixth orders and up to dimension-six condensates are deduced under the framework of the background field theory. Based on the sum rules for the twist-3 DA moments, we construct a new model for the two twist-3 DAs of the heavy pseudo-scalar with the help of the Brodsky-Huang-Lepage prescription. Furthermore, we apply them to the $B_c\toη_c$ transition form factor ($f^{B_c\toη_c}_+(q^2)$) within the light-cone sum rules approach, and the results are comparable with other approaches. It has been found that the twist-3 DAs $ϕ^P_{3;η_c}$ and $ϕ^σ_{3;η_c}$ are important for a reliable prediction of $f^{B_c\toη_c}_+(q^2)$. For example, at the maximum recoil region, we have $f^{B_c\toη_c}_+(0) = 0.674 \pm 0.066$, in which those two twist-3 terms provide $\sim33\%$ and $\sim22\%$ contributions. Also we calculate the branching ratio of the semi-leptonic decay $B_c \toη_c lν$ as $Br(B_c \toη_c lν) = \left( 9.31^{+2.27}_{-2.01} \right) \times 10^{-3}$.

description: Experimental and theoretical investigations of two dimensional (2D) periodic photonic nanostructures
fabricated by nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and dry etching on polycrystalline silicon (PolySi) layers are presented. PolySi
layers are fabricated using the Aluminium induced crystallisation (AIC) layer exchange process and epitaxy. The optical
properties of the nanopatterning and in particular its impact on absorption are studied. Nanoimprint lithography is performed
on ultra-thin PolySi films grown on rough alumina substrates. The 2D periodic photonic nanostructures combined with the
disordered substrate result in an enhanced light absorption in the photoactive material. The results are modelled thanks to an
original model based on the finite element method combining coherent and incoherent simulations. The developed model
shows that significant absorption enhancement can be achieved by combining front gratings and a back diffuser in a solar cell
structure.

description: In this talk, we present the first chiral extrapolation of a resonant scattering amplitude obtained from lattice QCD. Finite-volume spectra, determined by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration at $m_π= 236$ MeV, for the isotriplet $ππ$ channel are analyzed using the Lüscher method to determine the infinite-volume scattering amplitude. Unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory is then used to extrapolate the scattering amplitude to the physical light quark masses. The viability of this procedure is demonstrated by its agreement with the experimentally determined scattering phase shift up to center-of-mass energies of 1.2 GeV. Finally, we analytically continue the amplitude to the complex plane to obtain the $ρ$-pole at $\left[755(2)(1)\left({}^{20}_{02}\right) - \frac{i}{2} 129(3)(1)\left({}^7_1\right)\right]$ MeV.

description: In this work the realization of a concept for integrated interconnected crystalline silicon thin film solar
cells in a laboratory process is described. This module concept, referred to as IntegRex (Integrated interconnection of
recrystallized silicon layers), is developed for recrystallized or lift-off crystalline silicon layers. Following the
classical thin film approach the crystalline silicon thin film is divided into individual cell strips and interconnected
monolithically on a substrate. To investigate the individual processing steps silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers with a
buried oxide layer and epitaxially deposited back surface field (BSF) and base are used instead of recrystallized or
lift-off crystalline silicon films.
A first batch of IntegRex mini-modules on SOI wafers was processed. Despite a not yet optimized metallization
scheme, a VOC of over 3 V could be reached for a mini-module consisting of five cells. Problems that occurred in the
metallization process are presented here and a possible solution is discussed.

description: Novel SiOx based mixed-phase nanomaterials are demonstrating excellent potential for improving the
light management in thin film Si solar cells. In the present study we report on the development of p-type material
with lower optical constants with respect to Si for use as advanced window layer in superstrate devices. Boron-doped
SiOx films have been deposited on glass by VHF-PECVD (40 MHz) at 150°C from a mixture of CO2, SiH4, H2, and
B(CH3)3 (TMB). The H2/SiH4 dilution ratio and the TMB/SiH4 doping ratio were held constant, while the CO2/SiH4
gas flow rate ratio was varied to obtain films with different stoichiometry for different plasma power densities. The
series of films have been characterized by micro-Raman, spectroscopic ellipsometry and lateral conductivity
measurements. The beneficial effect in thin film μc-Si:H solar cells has been demonstrated with a significant increase
of the quantum efficiency in the short wavelength range (Jsc gain of 1 mA/cm2), thanks to reduced absorption and
reflection losses.
