Mono- and Multicrystalline Silicon Materials and Cells

description: 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Hamburg, Germany; 2045-2048
description: Al-doped multicrystalline silicon ingots were solidified in a small furnace to study the phosphorus and
aluminum compensation effects and aluminum behavior as a dopant in mc-Si ingots and to set the upper threshold
values of acceptable aluminum contents in silicon. The calculated SRH lifetimes show that Al-oxide complexes are
very effective recombination center if compared to iron in silicon. The calculations also show that n-type silicon can
be considered as an attractive candidate material that tolerates the iron and aluminum contents with reasonable
amounts. The aluminum impurities work very well as a dopant and the resistivity distribution along the ingot height
follows the simple segregation model. In addition, high carrier lifetimes were realized in these ingots regardless the
possible existence of Al-oxides complexes. Further improvement was realized after P-gettering performed at 875oC
for 30 min in N2+O2 ambient reaching 70s in the center of the 10ppma Al-doped ingot. Growing of multicrystalline
ingots with total p-type polarity over the 0.98 fraction solidified requires very low phosphorus contaminations in the
melt of C0P < 0.008 C0Al.

description: Sodium alginate is a natural biocompatible polymer obtained from brown algae which has found numerous biomedical applications. Inorganic fillers, such as nanosized bioactive glass (nBG) particles, are well known for their outstanding properties in terms of being osteoconductive and osteoinductive and therefore finding application in bone tissue engineering. In this study, the impact of nBG particles on alginate hydrogels was investigated for applications of the composite hydrogel in biofabrication and drug delivery. The influence of nBG particles on properties such as printability, drug release ability and bioactivity (capability to form a hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer on the surface of nBG-alginate capsules) was studied. In vitro cell studies proved high cell viability of all inks. Due to the presence of nBG particles, more precise printed grids and pore sizes were achieved. Moreover, a decrease of the release of the model drug icariin in the presence of nBG particles was determined. The formation of a HAp layer on the surface of nBG-alginate capsules was assessed by FTIR, XRD and SEM. Overall, the addition of nBG particles into alginate hydrogels led to the improvement of the relevant properties investigated. Therefore, nBG-alginate systems should gain more attention for 3 D bioprinting and drug delivery approaches.

description: EX Lupi-type objects (EXors) form a sub-class of T Tauri stars, defined by sudden sporadic flare-ups of 1-5 magnitudes at optical wavelengths. These eruptions are attributed to enhanced mass accretion from the circumstellar disk to the star, and may constitute important events in shaping the structure of the inner disk and the forming planetary system. Although disk properties must play a fundamental role in driving the outbursts, they are surprisingly poorly known. In order to characterize the dust and gas components of EXor disks, here we report on observations of the $^{12}$CO J=3-2 and 4-3 lines, and the $^{13}$CO 3-2 line in EX Lup, the prototype of the EXor class. We reproduce the observed line fluxes and profiles with a line radiative transfer model, and compare the obtained parameters with corresponding ones of other T Tauri disks.

description: This paper presents the current results and the future plans of the project for rural electrification in Eritrea. Since 2007,
three photovoltaic (PV) pumping systems have been installed in Eritrean villages where no pumping system had existed
and a lot of childhood diseases had been related to the use of undrinkable water. The PV water pumping systems have
been supplying water to approximately 4,000 people. In the same villages a complete sustainable development approach
has been applied through the use of photovoltaic lanterns and solar cookers. The social impact of the activities is
evident in many fields: from the 90% reduction of the diseases to a germinal form of democracy thanks to the “Village
water committee”. Local government was impressed by the results and now intends to apply the same strategy in all the
new pumping systems, considering also that Eritrea is one of the most expensive places in the world to buy gasoline. In
this sense the benefit of the photovoltaic applications is not only environmental but also economical.

description: Humankind has long endeavored to control the propagation direction of light. Since time immemorial, shades, lenses and mirrors have been used to control the flow of light. In modern society, with the rapid development of nanotechnology, the control of light is moving toward devices at micrometer and even nanometer scales. At such scales, traditional devices based on geometrical optics reach their fundamental direction limits and cease to work. Nano photonics, on the other hand, has attracted wide attention from researchers, especially in the last decade, due to its ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale. This review focuses on the nano photonics systems that aim to select light based on its propagation direction. In the first half of this review, we survey the literature and the current state of the art focused on enabling optical broadband angular selectivity. The mechanisms we review can be classified into three main categories: (i) microscale geometrical optics, (ii) multilayer birefringent materials and (iii) Brewster modes in plasmonic systems, photonic crystals and metamaterials. In the second half, we present two categories of potential applications for broadband angularly selective systems. The first category aims at enhancing the efficiency of solar energy harvesting, through photovoltaic process or solar thermal process. The second category aims at enhancing light extracting efficiency and detection sensitivity. Finally, we discuss the most prominent challenges in broadband angular selectivity and some prospects on how to solve these challenges.

description: Theoretical study of the solar cell is based on one diode representation. The temperature and irradiance effects
on the solar cell are studied in particular, upon the fields as short circuit current Isc, open circuit voltage Voc, the
performance , and the form factor FF.
On the characteristic of a direct current load (3kW), which is a base transmitter station BTS (I=60A, V=48V), we can found
there is an operating point, supplied with a pV generator, and the operating conditions (temperature, irradiance), we can
found a highly gap between the potential peak power and the real power transferred to the BTS.
A boost converter ordered by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used for extracting the maximum power from the solar
photovoltaic generator .The present work describes the maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for the photovoltaic generator
connected to a Dc load.
Then, we model the photovoltaic generator, the boost converter, the Pulse Width Modulation and the MPPT algorithm P&O
which produce it, with Matlab / Simulink software.
The simulation results obtained, allow to judge the quality of models choosed especially for response time of our system and
the stability around the maximal power point.

description: Back-contact silicon solar cells feature high efficiencies, simpler module assembly, and improved
aesthetics. The emitter wrap through (EWT) cell structure is particularly attractive for use with industrial
processing (e.g., screen-printed metallization) and common solar-grade p-type Si materials. We report
development of a high-efficiency EWT back-contact cell using p-type Cz silicon and only industrial processing
techniques such as screen-printed metallizations, diffusions, and PECVD. An efficiency of 19.0% has been
achieved with large area (156-mm pseudo-square) cells. Detailed characterization and modeling have been
performed to understand the optical and electrical losses, and these results were used to generate a roadmap to
improve the efficiency to over 20%.

description: The mechanical behavior of PV modules was investigated for four point mounting regarding to the positioning of the clamps and the influence of polymers (e.g. EVA) with their stiffness properties. Experiments were carried out by means of testing PV module dummies assembled by a glass – polymer – glass laminate. The used polymer was EVA. The results of the test
showed a time dependent behavior of the module displacement under constant load. This was due to the fact that EVA shows visco-elastic material properties (e.g. creeping). Since the laminate comprises a shear compound, stiffness properties of the EVA are directly influencing the stiffness of the PV module. By means of numerical calculations this influence of the shear
compound was assessed. It was determined that the difference of the calculation of the displacement considering a flexible shear compound was up to 60 % compared to considering no shear between the glass sheets. The stiffness properties of EVA are altering over time of loading and temperature. This was investigated by changing the shear modulus in the FE model. It
was highlighted that a change of the shear modulus has a significant impact on the displacement as well as the stresses. An optimized mounting showed that there is a minimum for the stresses in the glass at certain mounting positions. It turned out that for different load levels this minimum shifts to different positions, which was due to the fact of non-linearities of the PV
module.

description:

In questo lavoro - solo apparentemente didascalico - il filosofo del diritto Giovanni Tarello dà prova della sua poliedrica capacità di analizzare criticamente ambiti che a prima vista sembrerebbero lontani dalla sua disciplina. E lo fa abbracciando non una sola ma due prospettive in quegli anni ancora considerate distanti fra loro: il più antico degli istituti del diritto privato, la proprietà, e la sua collocazione nel relativamente recente quadro costituzionale istituzionale (ed in particolare attraverso le lenti degli artt. 42, 43, 44 e 47). Di lì a non molto la lettura "costituzionalmente orientata" di gran parte delle figure del diritto civile sarà comune ed anzi obbligata per la migliore dottrina italiana. Ma proprio perché Giovanni Tarello vede le connessioni dall'esterno, senza vincoli dogmatici, riesce ad individuare – in un corso straordinariamente innovativo anche nel suo metodo - una molteplicità di idola che all'epoca offuscavano la vista anche ai più autorevoli commentatori.

description: To date, the effects of powder properties, both physical and chemical, on the printed properties of as-built components is still a topic that is poorly understood. A contributing factor is the lack of relevant methods for evaluating the rheological properties of powder, or flowability. This study presents a review of different 316 L powder grades that were produced using various atomization techniques. The physical powder properties were evaluated using powder metallurgical techniques, a powder rheometer (FT4) and a rotating drum analyser (RPA). The results indicate that both the FT4 and RPA are suitable for powder characterization. However, the parameter selection for evaluation must be done keeping in mind the application, in this case thin layer powder spreading. It was found that all bulk powder density measurements, basic flow energy and the break energy were able to both differentiate between powder grades and predict how suitable the powder will be for the laser-based powder-bed fusion process. Despite some printability challenges of the water atomized grades at higher layer thicknesses, it was found that both gas atomized grades performed similarly despite minor differences in particle size distribution. Furthermore, powder variability did not show any detrimental effects on the resulting mechanical properties.

description: A new technique for embedding data into an image coupled with compression has been proposed in this paper. A fast and efficient coding algorithms are needed for effective storage and transmission, due to the popularity of telemedicine and the use of digital medical images. Medical images are produced and transferred between hospitals for review by physicians who are geographically apart. Such image data need to be stored for future reference of patients as well. This necessitates compact storage of medical images before being transmitted over Internet. Moreover, as the patient information is also embedded within the medical images, it is very important to maintain the confidentiality of patient data. Hence, this article aims at hiding patient information as well, within the medical image followed by joint compression. The hidden data and the host image are absolutely recoverable from the embedded image without any loss.

description: We compare our steeply textured glasses under outdoor conditions at different sites in Germany and Spain. We find that the gain of SGGALBARINO G and SGGALBARINO P compared to SGGALBARINO T (nontextured glass) under 30° in mean average is between 1% and 13% in Germany and between 1% and 9% in Spain depending on solar cell type and weather conditions. On textured glasses no dust accumulation higher than on non-textured glasses could be found. So the efficiency gain keeps stable over a long period of time.

description: Spectral response (SR) measurements on monolithic, multi-junction devices require a careful usage of coloured bias light, due to the series connection of the component sub-cells in the device. At the European Solar Test Installation laboratories, measurements of SR of single-junction solar cells and modules are currently and routinely performed, following international standard procedures. More recently the set-up has been upgraded in order to allow
measurements of the SR of multi-junction photovoltaic cells and up to 30×30 cm2 mini-modules have been tested. In this work we present our test procedure for measurements of the SR of a two-terminal a-Si/a-Si thin-film larger-size
(up to 1 m2) module. The same device has been characterised outdoor on a tracking system under natural sunlight on a clear day at different air masses: spectral mismatch corrections of indoor measurements on our Large Area Pulsed Solar Simulator and comparison between short-circuit current values and measured data are shown.

Besides, we also study the case $y^2=0$, and we apply our results to the case $H$ finite dimensional.

Feeling in control: Designing the Melbourne bus user experience
Creators: name: Roberts, Sarah
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Design

description: Buses are often negatively perceived, with vehicles and services broadly criticised. This project employed design enquiry to better understand and improve user perceptions and their experiences within Melbourne suburban environments. Qualitative data established that low-density bus networks are impacted by access, negative safety perceptions, and information problems. These issues were identified as creating uncertainty and a lack of perceived control, helping to fuel the negative service perception and experience. A combination of app and onboard passenger information display concepts were developed through design studio practice and tested through virtual reality methods to improve these negative associations and the user experience.
title: Einfluss der Nutzung von Zyklus-Apps auf die Kommunikation und Beziehung zwischen Ärzt*innen und Patientinnen unter Berücksichtigung des Faktors Gesundheitskompetenz
Creators: name: Barkowits, Delia Maria
Year: 2023

description: Durch die Digitalisierung und die damit verbundenen Interaktions- und Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten verändert sich das Gesundheitssystem deutlich. Gesundheitsapps, unter anderem Zyklus-Apps, Online-Foren und Gesundheitsportale sind immer mehr am Vormarsch und geben den Nutzer*innen die Möglichkeit, eine aktive Rolle im Gesundheitsgeschehen einzunehmen und selbstbestimmter zu agieren. Vor allem die Kommunikation und Beziehung zwischen den Ärzt*innen und Patient*innen wird durch den digitalen Wandel besonders beeinflusst. Welche Rolle spielt in diesem Kontext die Gesundheitskompetenz der Patient*innen? Und welchen Einfluss hat die Zyklus-App-Nutzung tatsächlich auf die Kommunikation und Beziehung zwischen den Ärzt*innen und Patientinnen? Die vorliegende Untersuchung, die im Rahmen der Masterarbeit durchgeführt wurde, liefert Erkenntnisse darüber, inwiefern sich die Nutzung von Zyklus-Apps auf die Kommunikation und Beziehung zwischen den Ärzt*innen und Patientinnen auswirkt und welchen Beitrag der Faktor Gesundheitskompetenz hierbei spielt. Es wurden 217 Frauen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Befragung Zyklus-Apps nutzen, zwischen November 2022 und Jänner 2023 zu ihrem Nutzungsverhalten und ihrer Einschätzung zur Kommunikation und Beziehung zu den Ärzt*innen befragt. Es konnte ermittelt werden, dass ein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen der Intensität der App-Nutzung und der Bewertung der Veränderung der Kommunikation seit der App-Nutzung besteht. Weiters beeinflusst die Gesundheitskompetenz die Bewertung der Ärzt*innen-Patientinnen-Kommunikation und die Beziehung zu den Ärzt*innen. Diese Ergebnisse bringen neue Erkenntnisse, vor allem die Wichtigkeit der Gesundheitskompetenz in allen Aspekten wird dadurch besonders hervorgehoben.

description: To overcome the signal disturbance from the transmission process, recently, a new type of protocol named round-robin differential-phase-shift(RRDPS) quantum key distribution[Nature 509, 475(2014)] is proposed. It can estimate how much information has leaked to eavesdropper without monitoring bit error rates. In this paper, we compare the performance of RRDPS using different sources without and with decoy-state method, such as weak coherent pulses(WCPs) and heralded single photon source(HSPS). For practical implementations, we propose finite decoy-state method for RRDPS, the performance of which is close to the infinite one. Taking WCPs as an example, the three-intensity decoystate protocol can distribute secret keys over a distance of 128 km when the length of pulses packet is 32, which confirms the great practical interest of our method.

description: New Generation Learning Environments is the term used to describe a new classroom typology that has developed on university campuses over the last twenty years, enabling more effective teaching and learning processes. This thesis explores the evolution of these new classrooms by examining the nexus of education theory and environmental psychology to identify appropriate spatial characteristics that support effective teaching and learning. A key output of the research is an evaluation tool that can be applied to any classroom environment, to measure how well suited the physical environment is for implementing effective teaching and learning.

description: Symmetry and magnitude of spin-orbit torques (SOT), i.e., current-induced torques on the magnetization of systems lacking inversion symmetry, are investigated in a fully relativistic linear response framework based on the Kubo formalism. By applying all space-time symmetry operations contained in the magnetic point group of a solid to the relevant response coefficient, the torkance expressed as torque-current correlation function, restrictions to the shape of the direct and inverse response tensors are obtained. These are shown to apply to the corresponding thermal analogues as well, namely the direct and inverse thermal SOT in response to a temperature gradient or heat current. Using an implementation of the Kubo-Bastin formula for the torkance into a first-principles multiple-scattering Green's function framework and accounting for disorder effects via the so-called coherent potential approximation (CPA), all contributions to the SOT in pure systems, dilute as well as concentrated alloys can be treated on equal footing. This way, material specific values for all torkance tensor elements in the fcc (111) trilayer alloy system Pt | Fe$_x$Co$_{1-x}$ | Cu are obtained over a wide concentration range and discussed in comparison to results for electrical and spin conductivity, as well as to previous work - in particular concerning symmetry w.r.t. magnetization reversal and the nature of the various contributions.

description: The demand for a tool to characterize and identify defects in a PV module, that exceeds the standard IV-curve measurement is steadily raising. Manufacturers as well as system houses and end customers are interested in a system that quickly and with a high resolution localizes the most common defects in a PV module. Electroluminescence and IR thermography, that have recently been introduced to analyze solar cells, are also appropriate tools to meet these demands for complete modules. For two different PV module technologies both kinds of measurements have been performed and compared. One module has standard multicrystalline cells and was in use for several years. The other module has back contact cells and has been analyzed immediately after production.

description: Topological crystalline insulators are a class of materials with a bulk energy gap and edge or surface modes, which are protected by crystalline symmetry, at their boundaries. They have been realized in electronic systems: in particular, in SnTe. In this work, we propose a mechanism to realize photonic boundary states topologically protected by crystalline symmetry. We map this one-dimensional system to a two-dimensional lattice model with opposite magnetic fields, as well as opposite Chern numbers in its even and odd mirror parity subspaces, thus corresponding to a topological mirror insulator. Furthermore, we test how sensitive and robust edge modes depend on their mirror parity by performing time dependent evolution simulation of edge modes in a photonic setting with realistic experimental parameters.

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 1328-1331
description: The technology transfer of highly efficient solar cell concepts (i.e. passivated emitter and rear cell
PERC) to industry can help reduce their production cost. This work appraises three different industrial approaches
for the technology transfer and a conventional processing with a fair comparison. A significant improvement
compared to conventional processing was obtained. All advanced approaches lead to an increase in open circuit
voltage and short circuit current. This testifies to the benefits of improved passivation of the rear surface and a
bettered light trapping. The optimal processing window for the advanced approaches has lower fill factor than the
conventional processing. However, the reduction does not result in lower conversion potential. Finally, the PERC
type devices deliver a significant increase of more than 0.4 % absolute in conversion efficiency. The structure which
proved best was based on laser fired contacts (LFC). A maximum efficiency of 17.0 % has been achieved on
1.8 Ωcm multi-crystalline silicon.

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 1358-1362
description: New cell concepts need to be evaluated for their potential in competition with standard solar cell
technologies. At Fraunhofer ISE CalLab PV Cells measurement methods are developed which shall allow including
newer cell technologies in this competition. This work investigates the influence of bifaciality on high precision
measurements under standard test conditions on bare solar cells. A certain degree of bifaciality is an intrinsic
property of most back contact solar cell concepts due to the gaps in the back metallisation. We measured the
reflectivity for a range of chuck surfaces and the optical transmission of bifacial cells from actual cell technologies.
With the measured rear spectral response then the extent of the additional current contribution is calculated for the
different chuck surfaces both, spectrally resolved and integral. This is the basis for an optimisation of cell mounting
systems suitable to ensure comparable measurement results. The results clarify the contribution from bifaciality to
the measurement uncertainty and help to define standard conditions.

description: Presented are a method for and approaches to designing hybrid systems for power supply of remote
users determining the optimum type of the structural scheme of the systems and selecting parameters of their
elements, as defined by climatic characteristics of designated territories. Calculated and substantiated were
parameters of the systems for 50 geographical locations with a portion of the direct sunlight from the total one from
35 to 67 % and the average annual wind velocity from 1.5 to 7.9 m/sec. Factors of the sun and wind regimes of the
territories taking account for purposefulness of application of solar installations and wind turbines in PV-Wind-Diesel
systems have been revealed. It has been shown that the use of installations based on renewable power sources allows
obtaining cost-competitive and power-efficient systems, which compete actively with the traditional installations
based on organic fuel.
Autonomy and Pregnancy

Subjects: Other law and legal studies not elsewhere classified

description: Thesis Summary The title of the thesis is Autonomy and Pregnancy. Its main aim is to evaluate the extent to which pregnant women’s rights to reproductive autonomy are protected or restricted under the law and its application. The laws regulating abortion and applying to the refusal of and consent to medical treatment were selected for analysis. The thesis focusses on the laws of those jurisdictions whose legal heritage is predominantly English and/or Western European. The thesis identifies the meaning(s) of autonomy and then outlines a theoretical framework, informed by Drucilla Cornell’s work, which is adopted here because it gives an insight into the practical aspects of the exercise of autonomy and pregnancy. It also considers the concept of legal personhood focussing on both the common law’s adherence to the born alive rule and the advent of foetal protection laws.

description: In their recent work Sheinman et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 098104 (2015)] introduce a variation of percolation which they call no-enclaves percolation (NEP). The main claims are 1) the salient physics captured in NEP is closer to what happens experimentally; 2) The Fisher exponent of NEP, is $τ=1.82(1)$; 3) Due to the different Fisher exponent, NEP constitutes a universality class distinct from random percolation (RP). While we fully agree with 1) and found NEP to be a very interesting variation of random percolation, we disagree with 2) and 3). We will demonstrate that $τ$ is exactly $2$, directly derivable from RP, and thus there is no foundation of a new universality class.
