description: We propose an engineering of the optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells using AlAs and InAs monolayer insertions. A quantitative study of the effects of the monolayer position and the well thickness on the interband and intersubband transitions, based on the extended-basis sp3d5s* tight-binding model, is presented. The effect of insertion on the interband transitions is compared with existing experimental data. As for intersubband transitions, we show that in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well including two AlAs and one InAs insertions, a three level {e1 , e2 , e3 } system where the transition energy e3-e2 is lower and the transition energy e2-e1 larger than the longitudinal optical phonon energy (36 meV) can be engineered together with a e3-e2 transition energy widely tunable through the TeraHertz range.

description: The reactive ion etching (RIE) is applied to form the front surface texturing of 156×156 mm2 multicrystalline
silicon (mc-Si) wafers in order to improve the cell efficiency. The scanning electron microscope (SEM)
analyses indicate that the RIE texturing produces dense nanoscale ridge-like structures based on the acidic textured
surfaces, and these structures generate an excellent antireflection effect. The matching processes including the
phosphorus diffusion and the deposition of silicon nitride (SiNX) antireflection coating are optimized. The RIE
textured surfaces in combination with high sheet resistance emitters result in a remarkable enhancement in short
wavelength response and then improve the short circuit current density (JSC) significantly. The absolute conversion
efficiency of RIE textured solar cells is improved 0.51% on average compared to the acidic textured solar cells in
mass production (baseline), and a maximum full-area cell efficiency of 18.49% is achieved on the mc-Si solar cell
with a conventional cell structure.

description: Classical as well as quantum features of the late-time evolution of cosmological models with fluids obeying a Shan-Chen-like equation of state are studied. The latter is of the type $p=w_{\rm eff}(ρ)\,ρ$, and has been used in previous works to describe, e.g., a possible scenario for the growth of the dark-energy content of the present Universe. At the classical level the fluid dynamics in a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background implies the existence of two possible equilibrium solutions depending on the model parameters, associated with (asymptotic) finite pressure and energy density. We show that no future cosmological singularity is developed during the evolution for this specific model. The corresponding quantum effects in the late-time behavior of the system are also investigated within the framework of quantum geometrodynamics, i.e., by solving the (minisuperspace) Wheeler-DeWitt equation in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, constructing wave-packets and analyzing their behavior.

description: We present new empirical infrared Period-Luminosity-Metallicity (PLZ) and Period-Wesenheit-Metallicity (PWZ) relations for RR Lyrae based on the latest Gaia EDR3 parallaxes. The relations are provided in the WISE $W1$ and $W2$ bands, as well as in the $W(W1, V - W1)$ and $W(W2, V - W2)$ Wesenheit magnitudes. The relations are calibrated using a very large sample of Galactic halo field RR Lyrae stars with homogeneous spectroscopic [Fe/H] abundances (over 1,000 stars in the $W1$ band), covering a broad range of metallicities ($-2.5 \lesssim \textrm{[Fe/H]} \lesssim 0.0$). We test the performance of our PLZ and PWZ relations by determining the distance moduli of both galactic and extragalactic stellar associations: the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the Local Group (finding $\barμ_{0}=19.47 \pm 0.06$), the Galactic globular clusters M4 ($\barμ_{0}=11.16 \pm 0.05$) and the Reticulum globular cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud ($\barμ_{0}=18.23 \pm 0.06$). The distance moduli determined through all our relations are internally self-consistent (within $\lesssim$ 0.05 mag) but are systematically smaller (by $\sim$ 2-3$σ$) than previous literature measurements taken from a variety of methods/anchors. However, a comparison with similar recent RR Lyrae empirical relations anchored with EDR3 likewise shows to varying extents a systematically smaller distance modulus for PLZ/PWZ RR Lyrae relations.

description: We formulate a coherent approach to signals and systems theory on time scales. The two derivatives from the time-scale calculus are used, i.e., nabla (forward) and delta (backward), and the corresponding eigenfunctions, the so-called nabla and delta exponentials, computed. With these exponentials, two generalised discrete-time Laplace transforms are deduced and their properties studied. These transforms are compatible with the standard Laplace and $Z$ transforms. They are used to study discrete-time linear systems defined by difference equations. These equations mimic the usual continuous-time equations that are uniformly approximated when the sampling interval becomes small. Impulse response and transfer function notions are introduced. This implies a unified mathematical framework that allows us to approximate the classic continuous-time case when the sampling rate is high or to obtain the standard discrete-time case, based on difference equations, when the time grid becomes uniform.

description: Basically, amorphous solar cells have been used for ubiquitous purposes like a power source into a
wristwatch, desktop calculator etc. In order to widen the use of solar cells for ubiquitous purposes, achieving higher
efficiencies with relatively small devices is necessary with a facile method. In this work, small size single crystalline
silicon solar cells (25 mm2) were fabricated by non-vacuum process with high efficiencies to be used for the
ubiquitous applications. After performing POCl3 diffusion process on alkaline textured wafers, SiO2 passivation and
antireflective coatings were formed, and then, wafers were cut into the pieces of 5 mm size. Cut wafers were placed
on to the aluminum printed substrate to obtain p+ layer on back side. Ag and Al contacts were fired at 770 °C using
rapid thermal annealing. The importance of the edge isolation can be confirmed clearly that the cells fabricated from
the pieces cut from edge or the corner of the big wafer ends up with poor efficiencies. Conversion efficiency of the
cell fabricated from the piece cut center was achieved as 16.4% with random texture. However, the process is still
under investigation and better efficiencies are expected. These results can lead the use of small piece of silicon solar
cells for ubiquitous applications.

description: Masses are one of the most difficult stellar properties to measure. In the case of the white-dwarf companions of Barium stars, the situation is worse. These stars are dim, cool, and difficult to observe via direct methods. However, Ba stars were polluted by the Asymptotic Giant Branch progenitors of these WDs with matter rich in heavy elements, and the properties of their WD companions contain key information about binary interaction processes involving AGB stars and about the slow-neutron-capture(s)-process of nucleosynthesis. We aim to determine accurate and assumption-free masses for the WD companions of as many Ba stars as possible. We want to provide new observational constraints that can help us learn about the formation and evolution of these post-interaction binary systems and about the nucleosynthesis processes that took place in the interiors of their AGB progenitors. We combined archival radial-velocity data with Hipparcos and Gaia astrometry using the software package orvara, a code designed to simultaneously fit a single Keplerian model to any combination of these types of data using a parallel-tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We adopted Gaussian priors for the Ba star masses and for the parallaxes, and assumed uninformative priors for the orbital elements and the WD masses. We determined new orbital inclinations and companion masses for 60 Ba star systems, including a couple of new orbits and several improved orbits for the longest-period systems. We also unravelled a triple system that was not known before and constrained the orbits and the masses of the two companions. (Continued in the manuscript)

description: Pion production in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions outside the kinematical boundary of proton-nucleon (p+N) reactions, the so-called cumulative effect, is studied. Restrictions from energy-momentum conservation on the energy of pions emitted in the backward direction in the target rest frame are analyzed. It is assumed that the cumulative pions are produced in p+A reactions by heavy baryonic resonances. The baryonic resonances are first created in p+N reactions. Due to successive collisions with nuclear nucleons the masses of these resonances may then increase and, simultaneously, their longitudinal velocities decrease. We also use the Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model to reveal the key role of successive collisions of baryonic resonances with nuclear nucleons for cumulative pion production in p+A reactions. Further experimental studies of cumulative hadron production in p+A reactions at high collision energies are needed to search for heavy hadron-like objects and investigate their properties.

description: State of the art firing-through screen printing pastes for p+ emitters have been found to limit the
open-circuit voltage of the n-type cells due to increased recombination under the metallization area. Alternative
metallization techniques using non-firing-through pastes need an opened passivation region under the
metallization. However, this ablation step has to be performed without introducing any significant surface
damage to the Si emitter region. In this work we studied picosecond laser ablation for subsequent screen printing
of non-firing-through metallization pastes and found this process to be less detrimental than a conventional firethrough
technique. Another advantage of this non-firing through technique is that it enables local contact
formation under the metallization area and, for an interdigitated back contact (IBC) cell concept, the possibility to
contact p+ and n+ surfaces using the same paste and only one printing step. The overall gain in open-circuit
voltage in comparison to fire-through screen printing on a bifacial n-type (BiSoN) cell is between 6 to 10 mV.

description: In this paper we present a new approach of controlling the passivation properties of Al2O3 films applied
in solar industry. Al2O3 film properties are influenced by adjusting ALD process parameters. Limiting hydrogen
content is essential for enabling the film to withstand the high temperature firing process. Hydrogen management is
an optimal way of improving film thermal stability. Different precursor concentrations result in variation of film
composition and hydrogen content in particular. Activation anneal followed by industrial firing is applied to the
Al2O3 film in this work. Afterwards the samples are evaluated on implied Voc and minority carrier lifetime, hydrogen
content of the film is analyzed by SIMS measurements. Correlation between passivation quality and film
composition is analyzed by SIMS after deposition, activation anneal and firing.

description: Preparing highly entangled quantum states between remote parties is a major challenge for quantum communications [1-8]. Particularly promising in this context are the N00N states, which are entangled N-photon wavepackets delocalized between two different locations, providing measurement sensitivity limited only by the uncertainty principle [1, 10-15]. However, these states are notoriously vulnerable to losses, making it difficult both to share them between remote locations, and to recombine them to exploit interference effects. Here we address this challenge by utilizing the reverse version of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect [16] to prepare a high-fidelity two-photon N00N state shared between two parties connected by a lossy optical channel. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the enhanced phase sensitivity can be directly exploited in the two distant locations, and we remotely prepare superpositions of coherent states, known as Schrödinger's cat states" [17, 18].

description: We investigate the Kondo effect in the two-dimensional electron system with a non-trivial quadratic energy band crossing point. We show that the Kondo effect can induce a new hybrid topological insulator phase which is a coexistence state of the quantum anomalous Hall effect and the TRSbroken quantum spin Hall effect. This hybrid topological insulator exhibits not only a quantized charge Hall current but also a net spin current, which are localized at the edge boundaries. This peculiar topological state arises due to the interplay of two marginally relevant operators, i.e., the Kondo-coupling between the electrons and the local magnetic moment and the electron-electron interaction in the two-dimensional system.

In this paper, we present a novel virtual reality (VR) framework where users can (i) recognize when the robot has failed to detect a real-world object, (ii) correct the error in VR, (iii) modify proposed object trajectories and, (iv) implement behaviors on a real-world robot. Finally, we propose a user study aimed at testing the efficacy of our framework. Project materials can be found in the OSF repository.

description: Plasma etch processes for dry, maskless micro-structuring of monocrystalline silicon at temperatures
above 0 °C for effective light absorption as well as passivation properties are investigated with respect to photovoltaic
applications. Focused on the ignition mode, silicon samples are etched by two different plasma procedures: for
the first one the capacitively coupled power generator is solely used, and for the second one there is an additional inductively
coupled power generator to increase the plasma density without simultaneously increasing the DC bias. Afterwards,
an about 30 nm thick Al2O3 layer is deposited on the structured surfaces in an atomic layer deposition
process to passivate the samples. Using scanning electron microscopy, reflection measurements and quasi steady state
photoconductivity measurements to determine the effective minority charge carrier lifetime, the results are analyzed
and differences and advantages are discussed.

description: A new Taylor-Couette system has been designed and constructed with precise temperature control. Two concentric independently rotating cylinders are able to rotate at maximum rates of $f_i = \pm20$ Hz for the inner cylinder and $f_o = \pm10$ Hz for the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder has an outside radius of $r_i = 75$ mm, and the outer cylinder has an inside radius of $r_o = 105$ mm, resulting in a gap of $d=30$ mm. The height of the gap $L =549$ mm, giving a volume of $V=9.3$l. The geometric parameters are $η= r_i/r_o = 0.714$ and $Γ= L/d = 18.3$. With water as working fluid at room temperature the Reynolds numbers that can be achieved are $\text{Re}_i = ω_i r_i (r_o-r_i)/ν= 2.8 \times 10^5$ and $\text{Re}_o = ω_o r_o (r_o-r_i)/ν= 2 \times 10^5$, or a combined Reynolds number of up to $\text{Re} = (ω_i r_i -ω_o r_o)(r_o-r_i)/ν= 4.8 \times 10^5$. If the working fluid is changed to the fluorinated liquid FC-3284 with kinematic viscosity 0.42 cSt, the combined Reynolds number can reach $\text{Re} = 1.1 \times 10^6$. The apparatus features precise temperature control of the outer and inner cylinder separately, and is fully optically accessible from the side and top. The new facility offers the possibility to accurately study the process of boiling inside a turbulent flow and its effect on the flow.

description: We present a fast and cost effective process of growing silicon thin films on top of a non-detachable
silicon substrate using a continuous CVD process. The inline optical CVD works at low temperature (<900 K) and
atmospheric pressure and uses silane as the gas precursor mixed with hydrogen and argon. The silicon substrate is
moving at a constant speed of 10 mm/min and crosses the deposition region several times. The heat required for
silane pyrolysis is obtained with a halogen lamp and an optical setup. Two types of silicon substrates were used:
multicrystalline silicon and sintered silicon samples with a thickness of 240 μm and 500 μm, respectively. The
samples were laser textured to reduce reflectivity and to increase the effective deposition area. Different laser
textured patterns were applied and its influence on growth rate was observed. Growth rates up to 9 μm/min were
achieved, depending on the textured pattern and on the type of substrate.
Gas expulsion in massive star clusters? Constraints from observations of young and gas-free objects

description: Gas expulsion is a central concept in some of the models for multiple populations and the light-element anticorrelations in globular clusters. If the star formation efficiency was around 30 per cent and the gas expulsion happened on the crossing timescale, this process could expel preferentially stars born with the chemical composition of the proto-cluster gas, while stars with special composition born in the centre would remain bound. Recently, a sample of extragalactic, gas-free, young massive clusters has been identified that has the potential to test the conditions for gas expulsion. We compute a large number of thin shell models, and calculate if the Rayleigh-Taylor instability is able to disrupt the shell before it reaches the escape speed. We show that the success of gas expulsion depends on the compactness index of a star cluster C5, proportionate to stellar mass over half-mass radius. For given C5, a certain critical, local star formation efficiency is required to remove the rest of the gas. Common stellar feedback processes may not lead to gas expulsion with significant loss of stars above C5 = 1. Considering pulsar winds and hypernovae, the limit increases to C5 = 30. If successful, gas expulsion generally takes place on the crossing timescale. Some observed young massive clusters have 1 < C5 < 10 and are gas-free at 10 Myr. This suggests that gas expulsion does not affect their stellar mass significantly, unless powerful pulsar winds and hypernovae are common in such objects. By comparison to observations, we show that C5 is a better predictor for the expression of multiple populations than stellar mass. The best separation between star clusters with and without multiple populations is achieved by a stellar winds-based gas expulsion model, where gas expulsion would occur exclusively in star clusters without multiple populations.

description: In the present article, we discuss a numerical method of solution for the so-called "full non-LTE" radiation transfer problem, basic formalism of which was revisited by Paletou & Peymirat (2021; see also Oxenius 1986). More specifically, usual numerical iterative methods for non-LTE radiation transfer are coupled with the above-mentioned formalism. New numerical additions are explained in detail. We benchmark the whole process with the standard non-LTE transfer problem for a two-level atom with Hummer's (1962, 1969) $R_{\rm I-A}$ partial frequency redistribution function. We finally display new quantities such as the spatial distribution of the velocity distribution function of excited atoms, that can only be accessed to by adopting this more general frame for non-LTE radiation transfer.

description: In recent years, boron spin on dopant (BSOD) is one of the mostly used alternative dopant sources to
BBr3 for forming emitters in n - type c- Si solar cells. However, BSOD has some issues like moisture trapping after
spinning the dopant source and formation of boron precipitates underneath the borosilicate glass layer during the
diffusion process. Controlled process steps, used in this work, can eliminate boron precipitates on the emitter surface
for different optimized sheet resistance values in the range of 40- 130 Ω/ sq. Uniformity of the sheet resistance was
found to be within 6% for the sheet resistances less than 100 Ω/sq. Post diffusion chemical treatments, further
smoothen the emitter surface resulting complete removal of boron precipitates and improves the emitter performance.
SIMS analysis of the emitter, shows that the measured junction depth values are less than 700nm for different
diffusion conditions used in this work. The minority carrier lifetime gets improved by 200%, after BSOD diffusion,
from the initial values of n- type CZ wafers. The measured Sun’s Voc are in the range of 550- 600mV and the
resulting pseudo efficiencies are in the range of 11%-14% without any texturing and passivation, hence it shows the
wide scope of using BSOD source in near future n- type c- Si solar cells.

Observation of a subharmonic gap singularity in interlayer tunneling characteristics of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d

description: A subharmonic structure in Josephson junctions appears due to Andreev reflections within the junction. Here we report on experimental observation of a subharmonic half-gap singularity in interlayer tunneling characteristics of a layered high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d. The singularity is most pronounced in optimally doped crystals and vanishes with decreasing doping. It indicates existence of non-vanishing electronic density of states and certain metallic properties in the intermediate BiO layers, which grows stronger with increasing doping. This provides an additional coherent interlayer transport channel and can explain a gradual transition from an incoherent quasi-two-dimensional $c$-axis transport in underdoped to a coherent metallic transport in overdoped cuprates. Furthermore, due to a very small sub-gap current, the singularity allows unambiguous extraction of the superconducting gap, without distortion by self-heating.

description: The influence of surface potential and interface state density (Dit) of silicon nanowire (SiNW) on
photovoltaic (PV) characteristics have been experimentally characterized using lateral SiNW solar cells with bottom
gate electrodes. Reduction of surface recombination rate can be achieved by reducing the Dit or the carrier density at
the surface by shifting the surface potential. In this work, an array of lateral SiNW solar cells with length of 1.5 m
and cross-sectional dimension of 40×55 nm2 to 40×140 nm2 were investigated. The surfaces have been passivated
with thermally formed 10-nm-thick SiO2 layer, followed by annealing in forming gas (N2:H2=97:3) ambient at
420C. The influence of Dit to the PV characteristics has been investigated from the measurements of nanowire with
different width. As a result of shielding the interface states at bottom surface by controlling the bottom surface
potential from depletion to accumulation conditions, large increase in short-circuit current density (Jsc) has been
obtained. On the other hand, a steep degradation in Jsc with narrower SiNW can be attributed to Dit presented at side
surfaces. These results suggest that precise tuning of surface potential and reduction of interface state at passivation
interfaces are key technologies for improvements of SiNW solar cells.

description: Titan, with its thick, nitrogen-dominated atmosphere, has been seen from satellite and terrestrial observations to harbour methane clouds. To investigate whether atmospheric features such as clouds could also be visible from the surface of Titan, data taken with the Side Looking Imager (SLI) on-board the Huygens probe after landing have been analysed to identify any potential atmospheric features. In total, 82 SLI images were calibrated, processed and examined for features. The calibrated images show a smooth vertical radiance gradient across the images, with no other discernible features. After mean-frame subtraction, six images contained an extended, horizontal feature that had a radiance value that lay outside the 95% confidence limit of the predicted radiance when compared to regions higher and lower in the images. The change in optical depth of these features were found to be between 0.005 and 0.014. It is considered that these features most likely originate from the presence of a fog bank close to the horizon that rises and falls during the period of observation.

description: A tremendous amount of radiation is emitted by the Interstellar Medium in the mid- and far-infrared (3-500 μm) that represents the majority of the light emitted by a galaxy. In this article we motivate ISM studies in the infrared and the construction of large specialized observatories like the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), which just concluded its mission on a scientific high note, and the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that just begun its exciting scientific mission. We introduce their capabilities, present a few examples of their scientific discoveries and discuss how they complemented each other. We then consider the impact of the conclusion of SOFIA for the field in a historic context and look at new opportunities specifically for far-infrared observatories in space and in the stratosphere.

description: Heavy p-doping of crystalline Si solar cell emitters is demonstrated by using chemical vapor deposition of
pure boron layers from diborane (B2H6) precursor in combination with both oxide and Al2O3 passivation layers. The
overall results indicate that processing with B2H6 delivers better results than comparable, commonly used BBr3 doping
methods. The scaling up of the B2H6 deposition technique to a batch furnace system from the single-wafer equipment (a
commercial ASM Epsilon epitaxial CVD reactor) used until now for the development is investigated. With industrial
manufacturing in mind, a customized batch furnace system has been developed for high-throughput depositions.
Solutions to the issues related to retaining an oxide-free Si surface for deposition and maintaining safety in furnace
processing with B2H6 were found in the use of low-pressure, low-temperature deposition conditions. This paper presents
the first furnace PureB deposition/anneal/oxidation cycles that answer to the demands of a basic furnace process for
solar-cell p+-emitter fabrication.

Transitions in vortex skyrmion structures in superfluid $^3$He-A driven by an analogue of the zero-charge effect

description: In quantum electrodynamics, the zero-charge effect originates from the logarithmic dependence of the coupling constant in the action of the electromagnetic field on the ratio of the ultraviolet and infrared energy cutoffs. An analogue of this effect in Weyl superfluid $^3$He-A is the logarithmic divergence of the bending energy of the orbital anisotropy axis at low temperatures, where temperature plays the role of the infrared cutoff and the vector of the orbital anisotropy plays the role of the vector potential of the synthetic electromagnetic field for Weyl fermions. We calculate numerically the spatial distribution of the order parameter in rotating $^3$He-A as a function of temperature. At temperatures close to the superfluid transition, we observe formation of vortex skyrmions known as the double-quantum vortex and the vortex sheet. These structures include alternating circular and hyperbolic merons as a bound pair or a chain, respectively. As temperature lowers towards absolute zero, we find a continuous transition in the vortex structures towards a state where the vorticity is distributed in thin tubes around the circular merons. For the vortex sheet, we present a phase diagram of the transition in the temperature - angular velocity plane and calculations of the nuclear magnetic resonance response.

Azimuthal Asymmetry and Ratio $R= F_L / F_T$ as Probes of the Charm Content of the Proton

description: We study two experimental ways to measure the heavy-quark content of the proton: using the Callan-Gross ratio $R(x,Q^2)=F_L/F_T$ and/or azimuthal $\cos(2φ)$ asymmetry in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. Our approach is based on the perturbative stability of the QCD predictions for these two quantities. We resume the mass logarithms of the type $α_{s}\ln\left( Q^{2}/m^{2}\right)$ and conclude that heavy-quark densities in the nucleon can, in principle, be determined from data on the Callan-Gross ratio and/or azimuthal asymmetry. In particular, the charm content of the proton can be measured in future studies at the proposed Large Hadron-Electron (LHeC) and Electron-Ion (EIC) Colliders.

description: In thermal solid phase diffusion from atmospheric chemical vapor deposited (AP-CVD)
boron silicate glass (BSG), a boron diffusion profile estimation method by using sheet resistance after
diffusion and diffusion conditions has been proposed. To make the simulation accurate, precise sheet
resistance model including hole concentration dependence of mobility is considered. It is confirmed that
the boron profiles which are estimated from the sheet resistance and the diffusion conditions well match
measured profile by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The estimated boron profiles are also
adopted in PC1D simulation as input files. Validity of the simulation results is confirmed comparing with PC1D simulation results by the actual SIMS profiles.

description: We provide an anthropic reason that the supersymmetry breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale as indicated by the null result of collider experiments and observed 125 GeV Higgs boson. We focus on a new inflation model as a typical low-scale inflation model that may be expected in the string landscape. In this model, the R-symmetry is broken at the minimum of the inflaton potential and its breaking scale is related to the reheating temperature. Once we admit that the anthropic principle requires thermal leptogenesis, we obtain a lower bound on gravitino mass, which is related to R-symmetry breaking scale. This scenario and resulting gravitino mass predict the consistent amplitude of density perturbations. We also find that string axions and saxions are consistently implemented in this scenario.
