description: In our review we consider the results on the development and exploration of heterostructured photoactive materials with major attention focused on what are the better ways to form this type of materials and how to explore them correctly. Regardless of what type of heterostructure, metal–semiconductor or semiconductor–semiconductor, is formed, its functionality strongly depends on the quality of heterojunction. In turn, it depends on the selection of the heterostructure components (their chemical and physical properties) and on the proper choice of the synthesis method. Several examples of the different approaches such as in situ and ex situ, bottom‐up and top‐down, are reviewed. At the same time, even if the synthesis of heterostructured photoactive materials seems to be successful, strong experimental physical evidence demonstrating true heterojunction formation are required. A possibility for obtaining such evidence using different physical techniques is discussed. Particularly, it is demonstrated that the ability of optical spectroscopy to study heterostructured materials is in fact very limited. At the same time, such experimental techniques as high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electrophysical methods (work function measurements and impedance spectroscopy) present a true signature of heterojunction formation. Therefore, whatever the purpose of heterostructure formation and studies is, the application of HRTEM and electrophysical methods is necessary to confirm that formation of the heterojunction was successful.

description: In this work, the effects of CO2 plasma treatment, introduced before the deposition of a bottom p-μc-
SiOx:H layer, on the n-μc-SiOx:H / p-μc-SiOx:H interface were invetigated. It was found that CO2 plasma treatment
before p-μc-SiO:H deposition can help the crystallization of post-deposited p-μc-SiO:H and thus improve the n-μc-
SiOx:H / p-μc-SiOx:H interface properties. Also, the a-Si:H/μc-Si:H tandem solar cells with the novel structure of pa-
SiO:H/ i-a-Si:H/ n-μc-SiO:H /CO2 plasma / p-μc-SiO:H/ i-μc-Si:H / n-μc-SiO:H/ Ag/ Al were then fabricated on
the textured Soda-lime glasses coated with ZnO:B to compare with the one without CO2 plasma. From the results, it
shows that by using the CO2 plasma treatment optimized so far, the better cell interface property was achieved, the
Voc and FF were improved and thus an efficiency of 12.1 % could be achieved.

description: The demand for nonlinear effects within a silicon platform to support photonic circuits requiring phase-only modulation, frequency doubling, and/or difference frequency generation, is becoming increasingly clear. However, the symmetry of the silicon crystal inhibits second order optical nonlinear susceptibility, $χ^{(2)}$. Here, we show that the crystalline symmetry is broken when a DC field is present, inducing a $χ^{(2)}$ in a silicon waveguide that is proportional to the large $χ^{(3)}$ of silicon. First, Mach-Zehnder interferometers using the DC Kerr effect optical phase shifters in silicon ridge waveguides with p-i-n junctions are demonstrated with a $V_πL$ of $2.4Vcm$ in telecom bands $(λ_ω=1.58μm)$ without requiring to dope the silicon core. Second, the pump and second harmonic modes in silicon ridge waveguides are quasi-phase matched when the magnitude, spatial distribution of the DC field and $χ^{(2)}$ are controlled with p-i-n junctions. Using these waveguides, second harmonic generation at multiple pump wavelengths are observed with a maximum efficiency of $P_{2ω}/P_ω^2$=12%/W at $λ_ω=2.29μm$ in a 1mm long waveguide. This corresponds to a field-induced $χ^{(2)}=41pm/V$, comparable to non-centrosymmetric media (LiNbO3, GaAs, GaN). The field-induced nonlinear silicon photonics will lead to a new class of CMOS compatible integrated devices spanning from near to mid infrared spectrum.

description: We investigate the distribution and temperature-dependent optical properties of sharp, zero-phonon emission from defect-based single photon sources in multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) flakes. We observe sharp emission lines from optically active defects distributed across an energy range that exceeds 500 meV. Spectrally-resolved photon-correlation measurements verify single photon emission, even when multiple emission lines are simultaneously excited within the same h-BN flake. We also present a detailed study of the temperature-dependent linewidth, spectral energy shift, and intensity for two different zero-phonon lines centered at 575 nm and 682 nm, which reveals a nearly identical temperature dependence despite a large difference in transition energy. Our temperature-dependent results are best described by a lattice vibration model that considers piezoelectric coupling to in-plane phonons. Finally, polarization spectroscopy measurements suggest that whereas the 575 nm emission line is directly excited by 532 nm excitation, the 682 nm line is excited indirectly.

description: A well-defined sodium supply to the absorber is crucial to fabricate high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2
(CIGSe) solar cells, whereas long term stability is a prerequisite for commercial applications. We studied the
degradation process of CIGSe solar cells, fabricated on flexible polyimide substrates, with respect to the sodium
content. Non-encapsulated cells were exposed to damp heat and investigated electrically, optically as well as
structurally via current-voltage (IV) measurements, electroluminescence (EL) measurements and secondary-ionmass-
spectrometry (SIMS). We distinguished two stages of aging by cyclic damp heat treatment and IV
measurements. The overall degradation of the solar cell proceeded faster for cells with higher sodium content.
A decrease of the sodium aggregation at the CIGSe/Mo interface after damp heat treatment was observed.
EL measurements showed that the degradation proceeds is laterally inhomogeneous. An explanation based on the
corrosion of the back contact interface as the main contribution to the degradation of the solar cell is suggested.

description: We study the formation and early evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs) using three-dimensional non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to investigate the effect of cosmic ray ionization rate and dust fraction (or amount of dust grains) on circumstellar disk formation. Our simulations show that a higher cosmic ray ionization rate and a lower dust fraction lead to (i) a smaller magnetic resistivity of ambipolar diffusion, (ii) a smaller disk size and mass, and (iii) an earlier timing of outflow formation and a greater angular momentum of the outflow. In particular, at a high cosmic ray ionization rate, the disks formed early in the simulation are dispersed by magnetic braking on a time scale of about 104 years. Our results suggest that the cosmic ray ionization rate has a particularly large impact on the formation and evolution of disks, while the impact of the dust fraction is not significant.

description: The suppression of the light-induced degradation of a-Si:H is one of the biggest challenges to make
significant progress in thin-film solar cells. In this contribution, we report on recent developments of highly stable
and efficient a-Si:H solar cells whose absorber layers were grown by a remote plasma process using a triode PECVD
technique. Although the deposition rate is relatively low (0.01-0.05 nm/s) compared to the conventional diode-type
PECVD process (~0.2 nm/s), the light-induced degradation in conversion efficiency (/ini) is substantially reduced.
As a result, stabilized efficiencies of nearly 10% are obtained over the wide range of absorber layer thicknesses
(ti~150-390 nm). An a-Si:H single-junction p-i-n solar cell (ti~220 nm, area: 0.999 cm2) with a stabilized efficiency
of 10.11% has been confirmed by Calibration, Standards and Measurement Team of AIST. This solar cell shows
relative efficiency degradation of 11% under AM1.5G 100 mW/cm2 illumination at cell temperature of 50 °C for
1000 h.

description: Roll-to-roll (R2R) processing allows the production of extremely light-weight (less than 0.7 kg/m2),
flexible photovoltaic modules at a very low cost. Since such a product allows integration in building elements, e.g.
roofing membranes, the balance of system costs can be reduced. In this paper we discuss the advantages and
production process of our R2R-processed PowerFoil® modules that currently are produced at material costs below 1
€/Wp. We discuss how to scale up the production to foil width in excess of 1.3 m and thereby reduce the material
costs to values below 0.2 €/Wp. Further we discuss recent R&D results, amongst others R2R processed tandem
modules consisting of 7 cells with 3.5 cm2 area each and an initial active-area efficiency of 10.3%.

description: We present a high-flux source of cold ytterbium atoms that is robust, lightweight and low-maintenance. Our apparatus delivers 1 × 109 atoms s−1 into a 3D magneto-optical trap without requiring water cooling or high current power supplies. We achieve this by employing a Zeeman slower and a 2D magneto-optical trap fully based on permanent magnets in Halbach configurations. This strategy minimizes mechanical complexity, stray magnetic fields, and heat production while requiring little to no maintenance, making it applicable to both embedded systems that seek to minimize electrical power consumption, and large scale experiments to reduce the complexity of their subsystems.

description: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) Zn(O,S) layers were prepared in an industrial-scale reactor by Beneq
on in-line Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) coated Mo/glass substrates provided by ZSW and Manz. The samples were
completed to solar cells at ZSW with a sputtered ZnO/ZnO:Al or (Zn,Mg)O/ZnO:Al front electrode. We discuss
effects concerning the ex-situ growth of ALD Zn(O,S) on CIGS and their influence on the electrical properties of
ALD Zn(O,S) buffered CIGS-based solar cells. The growth rate and coverage of ALD Zn(O,S) on CIGS was found to
depend on the CIGS surface composition and could be significantly improved by modification of the CIGS surface
from a selenidic to an oxidic composition. This modification resulted in an increase of open-circuit voltage and fill
factor of the completed cells. Small-area cell efficiencies over 18 % could be achieved, which is comparable to
reference cells with a chemical bath deposited CdS buffer layer.

description: Local Oscillatory Rheology from Echography (LORE) consists in a traditional rheology experiment synchronized with high-frequency ultrasonic imaging which gives access to the local material response to oscillatory shear. Besides classical global rheological quantities, this method provides quantitative time-resolved information on the local displacement across the entire gap of the rheometer. From the local displacement response, we compute and decompose the local strain in its Fourier components and measure the spatially-resolved viscoelastic moduli. After benchmarking our method on homogeneous Newtonian fluids and soft solids, we demonstrate that this technique is well suited to characterize spatially heterogeneous samples, wall slip, and the emergence of nonlinearity under large amplitude oscillatory stress in soft materials.

description: We study the holographic entanglement entropy in metal/superconductor phase transition with exponential nonlinear electrodynamics (ENE) in four and five dimensional spacetimes. We find that the holographic entanglement entropy is powerful tool in studying the properties of the holographic phase transition. For the operator $\langle\mathcal{O}_{+}\rangle$, we observe that the entanglement entropy in 4-dimensional spacetime decreases in metal phase but changes non-monotonously in superconducting phase with the increase of the ENE parameter. Interestingly, the change of the entanglement entropy in 5-dimensional spacetime for both the phases is monotonous as the ENE factor alters. For the operator $\langle\mathcal{O}_{-}\rangle$, we show that the behavior of entanglement entropy in four and five dimensions changes monotonously for both phases as one tunes the strength of the ENE. Furthermore, for both the operators the entanglement entropy in four or five dimensional black hole increases with the increase of the width of the region.

description: It is expected that all astrophysical black holes in equilibrium are well described by the Kerr solution. Moreover, any black hole far away from equilibrium, such as one initially formed in a compact binary merger or by the collapse of a massive star, will eventually reach a final equilibrium Kerr state. At sufficiently late times in this process of reaching equilibrium, we expect that the black hole is modeled as a perturbation around the final state. The emitted gravitational waves will then be damped sinusoids with frequencies and damping times given by the quasinormal mode spectrum of the final Kerr black hole. An observational test of this scenario, often referred to as black hole spectroscopy, is one of the major goals of gravitational wave astronomy. It was recently suggested that the quasinormal mode description including the higher overtones might hold even right after the remnant black hole is first formed. At these times, the black hole is expected to be highly dynamical and nonlinear effects are likely to be important. In this paper we investigate this remarkable scenario in terms of the horizon dynamics. Working with high accuracy simulations of a simple configuration, namely the head-on collision of two nonspinning black holes with unequal masses, we study the dynamics of the final common horizon in terms of its shear and its multipole moments. We show that they are indeed well described by a superposition of ringdown modes as long as a sufficiently large number of higher overtones are included. This description holds even for the highly dynamical final black hole shortly after its formation. We discuss the implications and caveats of this result for black hole spectroscopy and for our understanding of the approach to equilibrium.

description: Texturing of glass substrate is an interesting alternative to enhance light trapping in thin silicon solar
cells instead of using conventional naturally textured transparent conducting oxides. In this work, aluminium induced
texturing method is used to obtain borofloat glass substrates with rms values in the range 70 – 90 nm. Al-doped ZnO
is deposited by sputtering onto textured glass to provide the front contact for thin film silicon solar cells. Morphology
and optical properties of the textured glass substrates, as well as morphology, optical and electrical properties of the
ZnO:Al layers deposited on them are described. The application of these textured substrates to a-Si solar cells is also
presented. The use of this approach leads to devices with short-circuit currents similar to those obtained with
optimized commercial TCO substrates.

The potential of microcrystalline silicon germanium alloy as an efficient infrared absorber is investigated using our

reduction in absorption loss is confirmed by using hydrogen-doped indium oxide, which shows very high carrier

description: Remnants of shooting stars are preserved in form of cosmic spherules in ice and sediments. The extraterrestrial material is heated and melted upon atmospheric entry and is collected at the Earth's surface as cosmic spherules. A fraction of cosmic spherules (I-type cosmic spherules) sources from extraterrestrial Fe,Ni metal. These metal particles melt and become oxidized in the atmosphere. The oxygen in the resulting oxides (magnetite, wüstite) sources entirely from the atmosphere. Here, we demonstrate that I-type cosmic spherules can be used to reconstruct the triple oxygen isotope anomaly of the past atmosphere, which provides information on the gross primary productivity and/or paleo-CO2 levels. We present a calibration of the proxy using Antarctic cosmic spherules. We further introduce Δ′56Fe and demonstrate that triple iron isotopes can be used to obtain information about the underlying fractionation mechanism (e.g., kinetic vs. equilibrium fractionation).

description: In the Standard Model (SM) the branching ratio for the decay $K_L \to ν\barν$ into two neutrinos is helicity suppressed and predicted to be very small $ \leq O(10^{-17})$. We consider two natural extensions of the SM, such as two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) and the $ν$MSM with additional singlet scalar, those main features is that they can lead to an enhanced $Br(K_L \to invisible)$. In the 2HDM the smallness of the neutrino mass is explained due to the smallness of the second Higgs doublet vacuum expectation value. Moreover, the $ν$MSM extension with additional singlet field can explain the $(g - 2)$ muon anomaly. The considered models demonstrate that the $K_L \to invisible $ decay is a clean probe of new physics scales well above 100 TeV, that is complementary to rare $K \to π+invisible$ decay, and provide a strong motivation for its sensitive search in a near future low-energy experiment.

description: In increasingly expanding cities, roofs are still largely unused areas to counteract the neg-ative impacts of urbanization on the water balance and to reduce flooding. To estimate the effect of green roofs as a sustainable low impact development (LID) technique on the building scale, different approaches to predict the runoff are carried out. In hydrological modelling, representing vegetation feedback on evapotranspiration (ET) is still considered challenging. In this research article, the focus is on improving the representation of the coupled soil–vegetation system of green roofs. Relevant data to calibrate and validate model representations were obtained from an existing field campaign comprising several green roof test plots with different characteristics. A coupled model, utilizing both the Penman–Monteith equation to estimate ET and the software EPA stormwater management model (SWMM) to calculate the runoff, was set up. Through the application of an automatic calibration procedure, we demonstrate that this coupled modelling approach (Kling–Gupta efficiency KGE = 0.88) outperforms the standard ET representation in EPA SWMM (KGE = −0.35), whilst providing a consistent and robust parameter set across all green roof configurations. Moreover, through a global sensitivity analysis, the impact of changes in model parameters was quantified in order to aid modelers in simplifying their parameterization of EPA SWMM. Finally, an improved model using the Penman–Monteith equation and various recommendations are presented.
Collapse models and gravitational decoherence at test: How far can we push the limits of quantum mechanics?

description: Collapse models describe the breakdown of the quantum superposition principle when moving from microscopic to macroscopic scales. They are among the possible solutions to the quantum measurement problem and thus describe the emergence of classical mechanics from the quantum one. Testing collapse models is equivalent to test the limits of quantum mechanics. I will provide an overview on how one can test collapse models, and which are the future theoretical and experimental challenges ahead.

description: We investigate the normal-mode spectrum of a trapped ion chain at the symmetry-breaking linear to zigzag transition and at finite temperatures. For this purpose, we modulate the amplitude of the Doppler cooling laser to excite and measure mode oscillations. The expected mode softening at the critical point, a signature of the second-order transition, is not observed. Numerical simulations show that this is mainly due to the finite temperature of the chain. Inspection of the trajectories suggest that the thermal shifts of the normal-mode spectrum can be understood by the ions collectively jumping between the two ground-state configurations of the symmetry-broken phase. We develop an effective analytical model, which allows us to reproduce the low-frequency spectrum as a function of the temperature and close to the transition point. In this model, the frequency shift of the soft mode is due to the anharmonic coupling with the high-frequency modes of the spectrum, acting as an averaged effective thermal environment. Our study could prove important for implementing ground-state laser cooling close to the critical point.

description: A new pulsed laser technique based on Photonic Crystal Fibres (PCF) has been developed and tested
within the European funded Alpine project for the improvement, in terms of precision and speed, of the existing
scribing technology in PV modules through the usage of high quality beam fiber lasers.
In this work we report about the first evaluation of the quality of the scribing process performed by innovative PCF
lasers according to the particular patterning steps (P1, P2 and P3) which are applied on CdTe thin film devices
realized in superstrate configuration on glass. A comparison with devices prepared with standard scribing technology
is presented. The P1, P2, P3 scribing patterning steps have been evaluated separately in this work and devices scribed
with the novel laser technology reported clearly either improved characteristics in two cases (P1 and P2 scribing) or
worsen characteristics in the case of P3 scribing. In detail devices with P1 and P2 patterning scribed with PCF laser
reported an evident improvement in Pmax of slightly above 5% while devices with P3 scribed with the novel laser
technology showed a Pmax value about 3% lower than the reference one.

description: We provide a theoretical overview of r-process nucleosynthesis. We then identify the nuclear properties that have the greatest astrophysical impact according to recent sensitivity studies as: nuclear masses, β decays and neutron capture rates. Finally, we briefly discuss how the NuCRL model can enhance the performance of the relevant simulations.
Holomorphic endomorphisms of P^3(C) related to a Lie algebra of type A_3 and catastrophe theory

description: Chebyshev maps in the complex plane are typical chaotic maps. Veselov generalized these map. We consider a class of those maps and view them as holomorphic endomorphisms on the 3-dimensional complex projective space and make use of the theory of complex dynamics in higher dimension. We determine Julia sets and external rays of those maps, exactly. In the Julia sets, Moebius strip and a special ruled surface appear. We also show some relation between those maps and binary quartic forms.

description: Two types of nano-imprinted 2D grating textures were tested on their light trapping performance for
thin film Si tandem solar cells in combination with various TCO’s. The combination with rough TCO layers like
LPCVD ZnO leads to double textured superstrates that exhibit at least a similar light trapping capability as the stateof-
the-art reference while using thinner TCO layers. Further optimization in combination with nano-imprinted AR
textures on the air/glass interface has the potential for >13% devices with thin TCO and absorber layers.

description: In the framework of the Visible NEAs Observations Survey (ViNOS) that uses several telescopes at the Canary Islands observatories since 2018, we observed two super fast rotator NEAs, 2021 NY$_1$ and 2022 AB. We obtained photometry and spectrophotometry of both targets and visible spectroscopy of 2022 AB. Light curves of 2021 NY$_1$ obtained in 4 different nights between Sept. 30 and Oct. 16, 2021 return a rotation period $P=13.3449\pm0.0013$ minutes and a light curve amplitude $A = 1.00$ mag. We found that 2021 NY$_1$ is a very elongated super fast rotator with an axis ratio $a/b \ge 3.6$. We also report colours $(g-r) = 0.664 \pm 0.013$, $(r-i) = 0.186 \pm 0.013$, and $(i-z_s) = -0.117 \pm 0.012$ mag. These are compatible with an S-type asteroid. The light curves of 2022 AB obtained on Jan. 5 and Jan. 8, 2021 show a rotation period $P=3.0304\pm0.0008$ minutes, with amplitudes $A = 0.52$ and $A =0.54$ mag. 2022 AB is also an elongated object with axis ratio $a/b \ge 1.6$. The obtained colours are $(g-r) = 0.400 \pm 0.017$, $(r-i) = 0.133 \pm 0.017$, and $(i-z_s) = 0.093 \pm 0.016$. These colours are similar to those of the X-types, but with an unusually high $(g-r)$ value. Spectra obtained on Jan. 12 and Jan. 14, 2022, are consistent with the reported colours. The spectral upturn over the 0.4 - 0.6 $μm $ region of 2022 AB does not fit with any known asteroid taxonomical class or meteorite spectrum, confirming its unusual surface properties.

Non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics of a particle trapped in a controllable time-varying potential

description: Non-equilibrium thermodynamics can provide strong advantages when compared to more standard equilibrium situations. Here, we present a general framework to study its application to concrete problems, which is valid also beyond the assumption of a Gaussian dynamics. We consider two different problems: 1) the dynamics of a levitated nanoparticle undergoing the transition from an harmonic to a double-well potential; 2) the transfer of a quantum state across a double-well potential through classical and quantum protocols. In both cases, we assume that the system undergoes to decoherence and thermalisation. In case 1), we construct a numerical approach to the problem and study the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of the system. In case 2), we introduce a new figure of merit to quantify the efficiency of a state-transfer protocol and apply it to quantum and classical versions of such protocols.

description: It has been observed that for black holes in certain family of Horndeski gravity theories Wald's entropy formula does not lead to the correct first law for black hole thermodynamics. For this family of Horndeski theories speeds of propagation of gravitons and photons are in general different and gravitons move on an effective metric different than the one seen by photons. We show that the temperature of the black hole should be modified from surface gravity over 2π to include effects of this effective metric. The modified temperature, with the entropy unambiguously computed by the solution phase space method, yields the correct first law. Our results have far reaching implications for the Hawking radiation and species problem, going beyond the Horndeski theories.

description: Next generation turnkey solutions for improving stabilized efficiency of a-Si/-Si tandem thin film
solar modules are being developed, which will make a positive impact on thin film solar technology and industry.
Advanced add-on technologies are being introduced to existing lines to improve solar module efficiency. Add-on
technologies include anti-reflective coating (AR coating) on glass for improvement of light transmittance, hydrogen
radical annealing for improvement of LPCVD-ZnO TCO conductivity, and nanoimprinted textures for efficient light
management. Our low temperature processed AR coating has the best transmittance/pencil hardness tradeoff
compared to various types of AR coatings produced by other companies, and increases our R&D module efficiency
by more than 0.4% absolute. Hydrogen radical annealing improves TCO properties and results in 0.5% absolute cell
efficiency gain in some cases. Nanoimprinted glass textures presently increase cell efficiency by up to 0.7%
absolute.

description: We consider a class of lattice paths with certain restrictions on their ascents and down steps and use them as building blocks to construct various families of Dyck paths. We let every building block $P_j$ take on $c_j$ colors and count all of the resulting colored Dyck paths of a given semilength. Our approach is to prove a recurrence relation of convolution type, which yields a representation in terms of partial Bell polynomials that simplifies the handling of different colorings. This allows us to recover multiple known formulas for Dyck paths and related lattice paths in an unified manner.
