description: The limited amount in nature of Te and In and the use of toxic elements like Cd and Se in CdTe and
CuInGaSe2 solar devices (despite they have no effect on the environment) could be overcome with alternative thin
films. SnS is one of the most promising materials due to its electrical and physical properties, but it is already
demonstrated that high quality SnS thin films are required to enhance solar cells efficiency.
In the present work, we have found out a threshold temperature, above which the absorber grows highly crystallized
and compact avoiding the porous structure observed previously. The properties of this differently grown film is
presented and compared with low substrate temperature layers. Moreover the study of a new post deposition
treatment, which merges our CdCl2 methodologies with new non-toxic salts (KI or SnCl2), more suitable for SnS, is
presented.

description: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), under development by NASA, will investigate possible causes for the phenomenon of dark energy and detect and characterize extra-solar planets. The 2.4 m space telescope has two main instruments: a wide-field, infra-red imager and a coronagraph. The coronagraph instrument (CGI) is a technology demonstrator designed to help bridge the gap between the current state-of-the-art space and ground instruments and future high-contrast space coronagraphs that will be capable of detecting and characterizing Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of other stars. Using adaptive optics, including two high-density deformable mirrors and low- and high-order wavefront sensing and control, CGI is designed to suppress the star light by up to 9 orders of magnitude, potentially enabling the direct detection and characterization of Jupiter-class exoplanets. Contrast is the measure of starlight suppression, and high contrast is the chief virtue of a coronagraph. But it is not the only important characteristic: contrast must be balanced against acceptance of planet light. The remaining unsuppressed starlight must also have a stable morphology to allow further estimation and subtraction. To achieve all these goals in the presence of the disturbance and radiation environment of space, the coronagraph must be designed and fabricated as a highly optimized system. The CGI error budget is the top level tool used to guide the optimization, enabling trades of various competing errors. The error budget is based on an analytical model which enables rapid calculation and tracking of performance for the numerous and diverse questions that arise in the system engineering process. In this paper we outline the coronagraph system engineering approach and the error budget.

description: Titanium Oxide has recently been demonstrated as an electron selective layer because of its asymmetric band offsets with
conduction and valence band of silicon [1]. In order to be used as an electron extracting layer in non P-N junction solar cells TiO2
thin films also need to passivate the silicon dangling bonds at the interface. In this work we report reduction of surface
recombination velocity by TiO2 films deposited by Thermal Atomic Layer Deposition (T-ALD) and Plasma Atomic Layer
Deposition (P-ALD). The as deposited sample with TiO2 deposited by thermal ALD showed an implied VOC of 568 mV and a
high surface recombination velocity (SRV) of more than 5000 cm/s. The post annealing of this samples yielded a high implied
VOC of 658 mV and surface recombination velocity of less than 120 cm/s.

description: We combined multi-wavelength data for blazars from the Roma-BZCAT catalog and analyzed hundreds of X-ray spectra. We present the fluxes and Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs), in 12 frequency bands from radio to $γ$-rays, for a final sample of 2214 blazars. Using a model-independent statistical approach, we looked for systematic trends in the SEDs; the most significant trends involved the radio luminosities and X-ray spectral indices of the blazars. We used a Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to determine the basis vectors of the blazar SEDs and, in order to maximize the size of the sample, imputed missing fluxes using the K-nearest neighbors method. Using more than an order of magnitude more data than was available when Fossati et al. (1997, 1998) first reported trends of SED shape with blazar luminosity, we confirmed the anti-correlation between radio luminosity and synchrotron peak frequency, although with greater scatter than was seen in the smaller sample. The same trend can be seen between bolometric luminosity and synchrotron peak frequency. Finally, we used all available blazar data to determine an empirical SED description that depends only on the radio luminosity at 1.4~GHz and the redshift. We verified that this statistically significant relation was not a result of the luminosity-luminosity correlations that are natural in flux-limited samples (i.e., where the correlation is actually caused by the redshift rather than the luminosity).

description: The hydrogen molecule can be used for determination of physical constants and for improved tests of the hypothetical long range force between hadrons, which requires a sufficiently accurate knowledge of the molecular levels. For this reason, we have undertaken a project of significant improvements in theoretical predictions of H$_2$ and perform the first step, which is the solution of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation to the unprecedented accuracy of $10^{-12}$. This will inspire, we hope, a parallel progress in the spectroscopy of the molecular hydrogen.

description: This paper aims at presenting the CRYSTALMAX technology developed from the collaboration of ECM
Green Tech crystallization furnace manufacturer with CEA-INES research institute. CRYSTALMAX technology
provides fully <100> oriented 650 kg silicon ingots, obtained by seed-assisted cast solidification. Resulting 6inch full
square wafers feature low production costs that could be further reduced by reduced kerf loss offered by diamond wire
sawing, the recycling of Cz-seeds, or the use of SoGM feedstock. P-type CRYSTALMAX wafers were processed as
conventional Al-BSF solar cells. The variation of the cells performances along the ingot’s height are detailed.
Correlations between wafer impurity (Oi; Cs) content, cell performances, effective carrier diffusion length are presented.
Device stability towards prolonged light exposure is also evaluated.
The HD 98800 quadruple pre-main sequence system - Towards full orbital characterisation using long-baseline infrared interferometry
Creators: name: Zúñiga-Fernández, Sebastián
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: HD 98800 is a young (∼10 Myr old) and nearby (∼45 pc) quadruple system, composed of two spectroscopic binaries orbiting around each other (AaAb and BaBb), with a gas-rich disk in polar configuration around BaBb. While the orbital parameters of BaBb and AB are relatively well constrained, this is not the case for AaAb. A full characterisation of this quadruple system can provide insights on the formation of such a complex system. We use multi-epoch interferometric observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer PIONIER and radial velocities. The PIONIER observations provide relative astrometric positions and flux ratios for both AaAa and BaBb subsystems. Combining the astrometric points with radial velocity measurements, we determine the orbital parameters of both subsystems. In this poster we will present the refined orbital solution of BaBb, and for the first time, the full orbital solution of AaAb. We confirmed the polar configuration of the circumbinary disk around BaBb. From our solutions, we also inferred the dynamical masses of AaAb (MAa=0.93 ± 0.09 and MAb=0.29 ± 0.02 M). We will discuss the long term stability, the possible formation scenarios and the future work towards full orbital characterisation of this young quadruple system.

description: Two silicon ingots with different seed plate configurations were crystallized by directional solidification. Seed plates with high performance multicrystalline structure varying in their mean grain area were used as well as seed plates with comparable mean grain area varying in their grain structure (standard and high performance multicrystalline). All grown materials show an increase of grain size and saturation at different levels with ingot height. Additionally, a dependence of the growth behavior on the mean grain area was observed implying a faster coarsening for smaller grains. The material grown on the standard multicrystalline seed plate shows a larger area fraction limited by dislocations than the material with high performance multicrystalline seed plates, showing less dislocation structures on samples with smaller grains. The minority carrier lifetimes measured on passivated samples after a boron diffusion, as used in high efficiency solar cell processes for n-type silicon, showed a benefit for the material grown on a high performance multicrystalline seed plate with smaller grains compared to the other materials. The harmonic mean lifetime values are even higher than corresponding ones for high performance multicrystalline material nucleated on granular beads. The same trend was seen in ELBA, a combination of injection-dependent lifetime measurements on processed samples with PC1D simulations, which estimates material-related efficiency losses of only 0.4 % compared with the solar cell limit of an n-type solar cell structure on material nucleated on the fine grained seed plate with high performance multicrystalline structure.

description: Diamond provides superior optical and mechanical material properties, making it a prime candidate for the realization of integrated optomechanical circuits. Because diamond sub- strates have matured in size, efficient nanostructuring methods can be used to realize full-scale integrated devices. Here we review optical and mechanical resonators fab- ricated from polycrystalline as well as single crystalline diamond. We present relevant material properties with respect to implementing optomechanical devices and compare them with other material systems. We give an overview of diamond integrated optomechanical circuits and present the optical readout mechanism and the actuation via optical or electrostatic forces that have been implemented to date. By combining diamond nanophotonic circuits with superconducting nanowires single photons can be efficiently detected on such chips and we outline how future single photon optomechanical circuits can be realized on this platform.

We show that $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$ is a bisimple inverse semigroup and each chain of idempotents in $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$ is contained in a bicyclic subsemigroup of $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$, we describe the Green relations on $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$ and we prove that every non-trivial congruence on $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$ is a group congruence. Also, we describe the structure of the quotient semigroup $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ/σ$, where $σ$ is the least group congruence on $\mathscr{I}^{\mathrm{cf}}_λ$.

description: We present the first survey results of hard X-ray point sources in the Galactic Center (GC) region by NuSTAR. We have discovered 70 hard (3-79 keV) X-ray point sources in a 0.6 deg^2 region around Sgr A* with a total exposure of 1.7 Ms, and 7 sources in the Sgr B2 field with 300 ks. We identify clear Chandra counterparts for 58 NuSTAR sources and assign candidate counterparts for the remaining 19. The NuSTAR survey reaches X-ray luminosities of ~4 x and ~8 x 10^32 erg s^-1 at the GC (8 kpc) in the 3-10 and 10-40 keV bands, respectively. The source list includes three persistent luminous X-ray binaries and the likely run-away pulsar called the Cannonball. New source-detection significance maps reveal a cluster of hard (>10 keV) X-ray sources near the Sgr A diffuse complex with no clear soft X-ray counterparts. The severe extinction observed in the Chandra spectra indicates that all the NuSTAR sources are in the central bulge or are of extragalactic origin. Spectral analysis of relatively bright NuSTAR sources suggests that magnetic cataclysmic variables constitute a large fraction (>40-60%). Both spectral analysis and logN-logS distributions of the NuSTAR sources indicate that the X-ray spectra of the NuSTAR sources should have kT > 20 keV on average for a single temperature thermal plasma model or an average photon index of Gamma = 1.5 - 2 for a power-law model. These findings suggest that the GC X-ray source population may contain a larger fraction of X-ray binaries with high plasma temperatures than the field population.

microelectronics, power electronics, sensors and mechanical engineering. Thin films of n-doped amorphous silicon
carbide (a-SiC:H) in combination with crystalline silicon representing heterostructure for the solar cells were object
of this study. AC measurements and subsequent analyzes were used to estimate the impact of Xe and neutron
irradiation on electrical properties of studied heterostructure. Impact of Xe and neutron irradiation has been
quantified by using AC equivalent circuits and the corresponding voltage dependence of AC equivalent circuit
elements. The influence of Xe-ions and neutron bombardment of a-SiC:H/c-Si heterostructure which resulted in the
changes of elements of equivalent circuit – parallel resistance and capacitance – have been identified and explained.

description: Autonomous mobility tasks such as lastmile delivery require reasoning about operator indicated preferences over terrains on which the robot should navigate to ensure both robot safety and mission success. However, coping with out of distribution data from novel terrains or appearance changes due to lighting variations remains a fundamental problem in visual terrain adaptive navigation. Existing solutions either require labor intensive manual data recollection and labeling or use handcoded reward functions that may not align with operator preferences. In this work, we posit that operator preferences for visually novel terrains, which the robot should adhere to, can often be extrapolated from established terrain references within the inertial, proprioceptive, and tactile domain. Leveraging this insight, we introduce Preference extrApolation for Terrain awarE Robot Navigation, PATERN, a novel framework for extrapolating operator terrain preferences for visual navigation. PATERN learns to map inertial, proprioceptive, tactile measurements from the robots observations to a representation space and performs nearest neighbor search in this space to estimate operator preferences over novel terrains. Through physical robot experiments in outdoor environments, we assess PATERNs capability to extrapolate preferences and generalize to novel terrains and challenging lighting conditions. Compared to baseline approaches, our findings indicate that PATERN robustly generalizes to diverse terrains and varied lighting conditions, while navigating in a preference aligned manner.

Competing Kondo Effects in Non-Kramers Doublet Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In non-Kramers Kondo systems with a quadrupolar degrees of freedom, an ordinary magnetic Kondo effect can compete with the quadrupolar Kondo effect. We discuss such competition keeping Pr$T_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ ($T$=Ir, Rh) and Pr$T_{2}$Al$_{20}$ ($T$=V, Ti) in mind, where the $Γ_{3}$ non-Kramers crystalline-electric-field (CEF) doublet ground state is realized in Pr$^{3+}$ ion with $(4f)^{2}$ configuration under cubic symmetry. The quadrupolar Kondo effect can be described by the two-channel Kondo model, which leads to the local non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) ground state, while the magnetic Kondo effect favors the ordinary local Fermi-liquid (FL) ground state. Based on the minimal extended two-channel Kondo model including the magnetic Kondo coupling as well, we investigate the competition and resulting thermodynamics, and orbital/magnetic, and single-particle excitation spectra by the Wilson's numerical renormalization-group (NRG) method. There exists the first-order transition between the NFL and FL ground states. In addition to these two states, the alternative FL state accompanied by a free magnetic spin appears in intermediate temperature range, which eventually reaches the true NFL ground state, as a consequence of stronger competition between the magnetic and quadrupolar Kondo effects. In this peculiar state, the magnetic susceptibility shows a Curie-like behavior, while the orbital fluctuation exhibits the FL behavior. Moreover, the single-particle spectra yield a more singular behavior. Implications to the Pr 1-2-20 systems are briefly discussed.

description: We present theoretical semi-analytic models for the interaction of stellar winds with the interstellar medium (ISM) or prior mass loss implemented in our code SPICE (Supernovae Progenitor Interaction Calculator for parameterized Environments, available on request), assuming spherical symmetry and power-law ambient density profiles and using the Pi-theorem. This allows us to test a wide variety of configurations, their functional dependencies, and to find classes of solutions for given observations. Here, we study Type Ia (SN~Ia) surroundings of single and double degenerate systems, and their observational signatures. Winds may originate from the progenitor prior to the white dwarf (WD) stage, the WD, a donor star, or an accretion disk (AD). For M_Ch explosions,the AD wind dominates and produces a low-density void several light years across surrounded by a dense shell. The bubble explains the lack of observed interaction in late time SN light curves for, at least, several years. The shell produces narrow ISM lines Doppler shifted by 10-100 km/s, and equivalent widths of approximately 100 mA and 1 mA in case of ambient environments with constant density and produced by prior mass loss, respectively. For SN 2014J, both mergers and M_Ch mass explosions have been suggested based on radio and narrow lines. As a consistent and most likely solution, we find an AD wind running into an environment produced by the RG wind of the progenitor during the pre-WD stage, and a short delay, 0.013 to 1.4 Myr, between the WD formation and the explosion. Our framework may be applied more generally to stellar winds and star-formation feedback in large scale galactic evolution simulations.

description: We study structure formation in the late Universe within the Vlasov kinetic self-consistent field approach. Our work is principally focused on the use of the modified gravitational potential with a repulsive term of the cosmological constant, which is directly linked to observations that enable characterizations of the Hubble tension as the result of local and global flows. We formulate the criteria for the formation of the semi-periodic gravitating structures, along with the predictions of their quantitative scales associated with observable parameters. Our principal conclusion is that filament formation in the Local (late) Universe can proceed as a deterministic process that is distinct from the structures at larger scales that result from the essentially stochastic dynamics of density perturbations.

description:
The following research thesis explores the ideologies surrounding the literacy myth, the American Dream, and the immigrant bargain and how these terms affect the lives and literacy practices of American immigrants and their pursuit of higher education. Research from the field of rhetoric and composition and social and political sciences is surveyed as a means to define the relationship between all three terms and trace how their ideologies affect those from immigrant backgrounds. This thesis uncovers capitalistic ideologies present in the myth, the Dream, and the bargain that romanticize the role of schooling and labor in attaining upward mobility and have become inherent in the lives of American immigrants and those from immigrant backgrounds.

description: The search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by direct detection faces an encroaching background due to coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering. For a given WIMP mass the cross section at which neutrinos constitute a dominant background is dependent on the uncertainty on the flux of each neutrino source from either the Sun, supernovae or atmospheric cosmic ray collisions. However there are also considerable uncertainties with regard to the astrophysical ingredients to the predicted WIMP signal. Uncertainties in the velocity of the Sun with respect to the Milky Way dark matter halo, the local density of WIMPs, and the shape of the local WIMP speed distribution all have an effect on the expected event rate in direct detection experiments and hence will change the region of the WIMP parameter space for which neutrinos are a significant background. In this work we extend the WIMP+neutrino analysis to account for the uncertainty in the astrophysics dependence of the WIMP signal. We show the effect of uncertainties on projected discovery limits with an emphasis on low WIMP masses (less than 10 GeV) when Solar neutrino backgrounds are most important. We find that accounting for astrophysical uncertainties changes the shape of the neutrino floor as a function of WIMP mass but also causes it to appear at cross sections up to an order of magnitude larger, extremely close to existing experimental limits - indicating that neutrino backgrounds will become an issue sooner than previously thought. We also explore how neutrinos hinder the estimation of WIMP parameters and how astrophysical uncertainties impact the discrimination of WIMPs and neutrinos with the use of their respective time dependencies.

Transnational Perspectives on Neil Gaiman's Sandman
Creators: name: Elisha, Schuett
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
Both comics studies and transnational literary studies have become increasingly popular in English departments over the past two decades. However, transnational studies and graphic narrative have only more recently crossed paths in academia. This transnational exploration of Neil Gaimans Sandman texts will closely examine two initial narrative arcs within the original 75 issues. After an initial inspection of the transnational properties inherent to graphic narrative and the idiosyncrasies of Sandmans visual mode, this project will examine how the texts narrative and form reflect Stephen Clingmans grammatical construction of a transitive syntax of the self and Christian Morarus cosmodernism, a Levinasian-based model for examining identity in a transnational context, while drawing similarities between the two transnational literary theories. Ultimately, this project aims to show how Sandman, a non-traditional text without explicit transnational themes, is fertile ground for many types of transnational treatments.

Frequent behaviors in such complex systems have been shown to be closely related to $q$-statistics instead, based on the nonadditive entropy $S_q$ (with $S_1=S_{BG}$), and its associated $q$-exponential factor which generalizes the usual BG one. In fact, a wide range of phenomena of quite different nature exist which can be described and, in the simplest cases, understood through analytic (and explicit) functions and probability distributions which exhibit some universal features. Universality classes are concomitantly observed which can be characterized through indices such as $q$. We will exhibit here some such cases, namely concerning the distribution of inter-occurrence (or inter-event) times in the areas of finance, earthquakes and genomes.

description:
In this project I rethink a key analytical category borrowed from religious studiesritualthrough the joint intervention of postsecular critique and Indigenous literature. My work unfolds in two parts: first in a critique of Eurocentric historicism and then in a move towards an anti-historicist interpretive horizon that nevertheless relates back to history. Chapter 2 then analyzes the Cherokee-Canadian author Thomas Kings 1993 novel, Green Grass, Running Water. I demonstrate that postsecular interpretation readily builds connections across time and space, prompting the reformation of categories such as ritual so that they may exceed their Eurocentric roots. What emerges from Green Grass, Running Water as a result is a clarified Indigenous radicalism that simultaneously reaffirms and displaces human agency.

description: We present a new multi-component dark matter model with a novel experimental signature that mimics neutral current interactions at neutrino detectors. In our model, the dark matter is composed of two particles, a heavier dominant component that annihilates to produce a boosted lighter component that we refer to as boosted dark matter. The lighter component is relativistic and scatters off electrons in neutrino experiments to produce Cherenkov light. This model combines the indirect detection of the dominant component with the direct detection of the boosted dark matter. Directionality can be used to distinguish the dark matter signal from the atmospheric neutrino background. We discuss the viable region of parameter space in current and future experiments.

title: Combatting Disability Erasure in Literary Studies: How a Literary Archive and Distant Reading Can Give Disabled Characters the Attention They Have Been Denied
Creators: name: Shea, Barbara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
I have created a digital archive documenting literary works that feature disabled characters. Using distant reading within this digital archive provides insight into the representation of disability in literature, aids in creating a disability literary canon, and prioritizes disability within the realm of critical literary studies. Despite the widening of canon and the increasing visibility of disability studies in the academy, there needs to be an archive that features works with disabled characters. Literary visualizations created through distant reading provide a new way to read texts. My thesis, Combatting Disability Erasure in Literary Studies: How a Literary Archive and Distant Reading Can Give Disabled Characters the Attention They Have Been Denied, will explore how distant reading would add an unprecedented dimension to a disability literary archive. Disabled characters have been present in prominent and now out-of-print literature for generations, but their presence has been cast to the periphery of storylines.

description: Thermal decomposition of monosilane (SiH4) is an important process step in the production of poly-Si in fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) and centrifugal chemical vapor deposition reactors (CCVDRs). These two reactor technologies both offer energy-saving alternatives to the Siemens reactor, which is the most commonly used reactor technology in today’s market. We have studied thermal decomposition of SiH4 diluted in hydrogen (H2) in a free-space reactor (FSR) with varied inlet concentrations of SiH4 and varied reactor temperature. The reactor exhaust was studied with an advanced combination of Gas-Chromatography and Mass-Spectrometry (GC-MS) allowing for detailed chemical analysis. For an inlet concentration of 10 vol. % SiH4 in H2, we observe a peak in the outlet concentration of higher order silanes as function of reactor temperature between 500 and 550 °C. When the inlet concentration of SiH4 is lowered to 1 vol. %, the peak is found between 600 and 650 °C. Our results, which are in line with earlier reported observations, are relevant for the further optimization of industrial poly-Si production reactors utilizing SiH4.

description: In diffusion-based molecular communication, information transport is governed by diffusion through a fluid medium. The achievable data rates for these channels are very low compared to the radio-based communication system, since diffusion can be a slow process. To improve the data rate, a novel multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) design for molecular communication is proposed that utilizes multiple molecular emitters at the transmitter and multiple molecular detectors at the receiver (in RF communication these all correspond to antennas). Using particle-based simulators, the channel's impulse response is obtained and mathematically modeled. These models are then used to determine inter-link interference (ILI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI). It is assumed that when the receiver has incomplete information regarding the system and the channel state, low complexity symbol detection methods are preferred since the receiver is small and simple. Thus four detection algorithms are proposed---adaptive thresholding, practical zero forcing with channel models excluding/including the ILI and ISI, and Genie-aided zero forcing. The proposed algorithms are evaluated extensively using numerical and analytical evaluations.

description: Orbital ordering has recently emerged as another important state in iron based superconductors, and its role for superconductivity as well as its connection to magnetic order and orthorhombic lattice distortion are heavily debated. In order to search for signatures of this so-called nematic phase in oxypnictides, we revisit the normal state properties of the pnictide superconductor LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ with a focus on resistivity, Nernst effect, thermal expansion, and $^{75}$As NMR data. The transport properties at the underdoped level $x=0.05$ exhibit pronounced anomalies at about the same temperature where undoped LaFeAsO develops long-range nematic ordering, i.e. at about 160 K. Furthermore, the $^{75}$As-NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/(T_1T)$ reveals a progressive slowing down of spin fluctuations. Yet, long-range magnetic order and also a detectable orthorhombic lattice distortion are absent. Thus, we conclude from the data that short-range orbital-nematic ordering or a slowly fluctuating form of it sets in near 160 K. Remarkably, all anomalies in the transport and also the indications of slow spin fluctuations disappear close to optimal doping $x=0.1$ which suggests that in LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ the nematic phase actually competes with superconductivity.

description: PC1D6, as well as PC1D, allows fitting I-V curves with the double-exponential approach. In addition,
it allows implementing up-to-date physical models for band-gap narrowing (BGN) and other parameters. We use
PC1D6 together with an analytical iterative I-V fitting approach to check the influence of physical models on the assignments
to parameters in fitting data of external-quantum efficiency (EQE) and I-V measurements. Data relevant to
an actual PERC solar cell are exploited. We find that the chosen physical model only determines the SRH-lifetime
value to be assigned in the I-V fits performed with PC1D6.

description: SiTec is developing a novel vibrationally fluidized bed reactor (V-FBR) that can significantly lower
overall costs compared to current practice, using undiluted monosilane to produce polysilicon granules for solar use.
This FBR is compact, self-seeding, operates at high pressure, and demonstrates very low dust levels at high
conversion efficiencies. A commercially prototypic pilot reactor is in the early stages of scale-up testing, with good
results.
