description: Aluminium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin-films prepared by both radio frequency sputtering and solgel
spin coating were annealed under temperatures up to 1100 °C. The study investigated the basic structural,
electrical and optical properties of the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) ZnO:Al at various annealing temperatures
and gases. This experiment revealed that RF sputtered ZnO:Al TCO films maintain their high optical transmission
properties and high crystalline structure after post-annealing even at temperatures up to 1000 °C. However resistivity
increases after annealing above 400 °C. The sol-gel ZnO:Al samples in this experiment on the other hand have the
lowest resistivity when post-annealed to 1000 °C. The experimental tools used to characterize the material properties
include: ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, four point-probe, spectrophotometry for
reflection and transmission, Hall measurements, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. This
particular material may potentially be used as a hetero-junction or TCO window layer for thin-film solar cells such as
silicon nanostructure solar cells or polycrystalline solar cells as high temperatures are usually required in the
crystallization of these types of solar cells.

description: Gravitational pulse waves are defined as step functions at the boundaries. In this setting, linearized Rarita-Schwinger equations are precisely solved in Rosen coordinates. It is found that the gravitino's energy-momentum varies with the sandwich wave's shape. The gravitino's energy density will decrease as it crosses the sandwich wave at the test field level since the background won't change.

description: The large-scale production of highly efficient back-contact solar cells and their module integration is a promising route
for the reduction of cost per watt peak of photovoltaic modules. Back-contact solar cells contain complex contact
structures all located on the rear side posing new challenges for interconnection and encapsulation. The goals of our work
are the development and demonstration of an interconnection adapter in cell size with an integrated circuitry to stabilize
the fragile back contact solar cell and to enable a simple and robust subsequent cell-to-cell interconnection process. We
demonstrate a first version of the adapter in form of a TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane)-copper laminate. An
electrically conductive adhesive is applied onto the cell rear side as a lead-free, flexible and gentle solder replacement to
connect the cell metallization with the copper circuitry of the adapter. Moreover, interconnection losses and material
consumption of the adapter are analyzed by electrical FEM simulations. We show a proof of concept with PV modules
having cell-to-module losses in power below 1% proving the feasibility of the concept. Preliminary thermal cycling and
damp heat test are passed with power loss of modules after degradation of less than 3.2%

description: The possibility of static and spherically symmetric traversable wormhole solution in modified teleparallel Rastall gravity (MTRG) in a non-diagonal tetrad is investigated. Rastall assumption modifies the field equations and energy-momentum conservation law. These modifications lead to different exact asymptotically flat traversable wormhole solutions. By imposing different constraints on modified energy-momentum conservation law, different exact solutions are found and the obtained results for teleparallel Rastall gravity (TRG), with specific choices of $f(T)$, are studied. It is shown that the Rastall parameters have a key role in these models and in all of those exact traversable wormhole solutions the null energy condition (NEC) and weak energy condition (WEC) of matter or energy which has surrounded the wormhole are valid at the throat of the wormhole and through the space time as well.

description: The effects of intrinsic light trapping or sunlight concentration in nanowire array solar cells comprising
of optimally engineered radial p-n junction GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs core-shell nanowires is maximized for optimal solar cell
efficiency by optimizing the pitch length of the nanowire array and angles of incidence of the sun-rays. Results reveal
that the unique property of core-shell nanowires in decoupling light absorption and carrier collection, along with the
exceptionally low optical reflection and strong light trapping, enable radial p-n junction core-shell nanowire array to
achieve solar cell efficiencies as high as more than 35% (i.e., exceeding the Shockley-Queisser limit) when
illuminated by the one-sun AM1.5G solar spectrum. Such high solar cell efficiencies are the result of the intrinsic
sunlight concentration effect in nanowire array solar cell.

description: We investigate minimum vertex degree conditions for $3$-uniform hypergraphs which ensure the existence of loose Hamilton cycles. A loose Hamilton cycle is a spanning cycle in which only consecutive edges intersect and these intersections consist of precisely one vertex. We prove that every $3$-uniform $n$-vertex ($n$ even) hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ with minimum vertex degree $δ_1(\mathcal{H})\geq \left(\frac7{16}+o(1)\right)\binom{n}{2}$ contains a loose Hamilton cycle. This bound is asymptotically best possible.

description: The moving lemma of Suslin states that a cycle on $X\times \mathbb{A} ^n$ meeting all faces properly can be moved so that it becomes equidimensional over $\mathbb{A}^n$. This leads to an isomorphism of motivic Borel-Moore homology and higher Chow groups. In this short paper we formulate and prove a variant of this. It leads to an isomorphism of Suslin homology with modulus and higher Chow groups with modulus, in an appropriate pro setting.

description: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nano-structured layers were investigated as possible candidates for
inexpensive antireflection coatings to be used on materials having high refractive index, such as semiconductors. A
mature manufacturing process, developed for moulding a single layer of micro-hemispheres on a PDMS film, was
used to create a single layer of nano-hemispheres that can act like a nano-structured coating. The nano-hemispheres
on the PDMS film were created by using a self-assembly process and have a size smaller than 300nm. The
performance of the nano-structured coating was measured by comparing the reflection of a Silicon substrate with and
without the presence of the nano-coating. The measurements were performed at different incidence angles and over a
wide range of wavelengths, ranging from 400nm to 900nm.
The results show a reduction in the spectral reflectance of the Silicon surface, even at high incidence angles, once the
PDMS nano-coating is applied. With respect to the uncoated silicon it was obtained a reduction in the reflected
components of more than 30% in the spectral range 400nm ÷ 900nm.

description: Tandem cell approaches offer the opportunity to increase silicon cell efficiency. Four terminal
approaches provide the flexibility to freely choose the bandgap of the top cell without compromising the system
efficiency. By using the top cell as a reflector of sub-bandgap light, a simple tandem approach has been
demonstrated that has the potential for strong system efficiencies. Efficiency of 27.8% was achieved in a system
comprising a 24.6% GaAs top cell and 20.3% bottom cell. Improvements in either the GaAs cell or the Si cell could
increase efficiency beyond 30% with combined improvements leading to a realistic potential of 34%. Combination
with single axis roll trackers offers potential for reflective tandems to be practicable.

description: Random silver nanowire meshes produced by CuCl2 salt mediated polyol process are used in place of
screen printed front electrodes on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. The silver nanowire meshes are shown to have
favorable transmission properties with an average of 22 % increase in light transmission over the non-physically
shaded area of the cell. Further to this the localized scattering plasmon resonances resulted in scattering reducing
light reflection over that of a polished front surface crystalline silicon cell. The improved light management of the
silver nanowires wasn’t reflected in the reduced efficiency of the solar cells with AgNW meshes which is attributed
to a poor contact between the silver nanowires and the silicon cell.

description: The surface recombination of silicon nanostructures was investigated. Silicon nanostructures were
synthesized via silver catalyzed chemical wet etching. And passivation layers of SiNx and Al2O3 were deposited on
the samples. The thermal atomic layer deposited Al2O3 can conformally cover the rough surface and reduce the
defects of nanostructures. Also the negative charge fixed in Al2O3 layer introduced the surface field effect passivation.
The lifetime measurement indicates that Al2O3 layers have much better passivation effect on the silicon nanostructure
surface than SiNx layer. Further, the silicon nano-textured solar cells with SiNx and Al2O3 passivation layers were
manufactured and tested. Enhanced solar cell performance was achieved by Al2O3 passivation.

description: We report a comprehensive comparison of structural and electrical investigations of high
quality and high indium content InGaN epilayers in forms of bulk and multiple quantum wells
(MQWs) to be used as active regions in solar cells. Solar cell designs have active regions that include
200 nm In0.26Ga0.74N and InxGa1-xN/GaN (x~ 0.10, x~0.20 and x~0.30) MQWs repeated for 25 and
35 cycles which were grown on sapphire (0001) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition
(MOCVD). The surface characterization of the epilayers was investigated by means of Atomic Force
Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The detailed characterization of
crystalline quality and the morphological evolution of high In content InGaN MQWs were studied by
High Angle Annular Dark Field Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HAADF-STEM) in
addition to compositional data provided by Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and High
resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). It was found that changing the type of high In content InGaN
active layer from bulk to very thin QW epilayers enhances greatly the crystalline quality by
decreasing the defect density and the phase separation within the InGaN epilayers to a large extent.
For solar cells based on InxGa1-xN/GaN MQWs (x~0.10, x~0.20 and x~0.30), decreasing both the
growth thickness of InGaN QWs and the number of wells improved the structural and surface
quality. The designs with fully strained 25 cycles InxGa1-xN/GaN MQWs (varied from x~0.10 to
0.30) epilayers shows very low defect density and excellent structural quality showing that they are
highly promising for future applications such as solar cells. Besides, very high quality crystalline
structure of the solar cell having 25 cycles of In0.1Ga0.9N (3 nm)/GaN (10 nm) MQWs, which was
fabricated into a solar cell, showed a photovoltaic response.
In addition, owing to excellent mechanical robustness, high resistance to energy radiation,
alignment of energy bands favorable with silicon, strong optical absorption, and good thermal
stability, InGaN based solar cells can be explored to be integrated with standard silicon PV
technology. The innovative hybrid integration of InGaN solar cells with silicon solar cells and their
incorporation in very high efficiency modules of reduced area would lead to a major break-through in
the photovoltaic domain.

description: We present for the first time a direct comparison of multi-epoch (2001-2002 and 2012) CO ro-vibrational emission lines from HD163296. We find that both the line shapes and the FWHM (Full Width Half Maximum) differ between these two epochs. The FWHM of the median observed line profiles are 10-25 km/s larger in the earlier epoch, and confirmed double peaks are only present in high J lines from 2001-2002. The line wings of individual transitions are similar in the two epochs making an additional central component in the later epoch a likely explanation for the single peaks and the lower FWHM. Variations in NIR brightness have been reported and could be linked to the observed variations. Additionally, we use the thermo chemical disc code ProDiMo to compare for the first time the line shapes, peak separations, FWHM, and line fluxes, to those observed. The ProDiMo model reproduces the peak separations, and low and mid J line fluxes well. The FWHM however, are over predicted and high J line fluxes are under predicted. We propose that a variable non-Keplerian component of the CO ro-vibrational emission, such as a disc wind or an episodic accretion funnel, is causing the difference between the two data sets collected at different epochs, and between model and observations. Additional CO ro-vibrational line detections (with CRIRES/VLT or NIRSPEC/Keck) or [Ne II] line observations with VISIR/VLT could help to clarify the cause of the variability.

description: We report initial results from an ongoing spectroscopic survey of central stars of faint planetary nebulae (PNe), obtained with the Low-Resolution Spectrograph on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The six PN nuclei (PNNi) discussed here all have strong emission at the O VI 3811-3834 A doublet, indicative of very high temperatures. Five of them--the nuclei of Ou 2, Kn 61, Kn 15, Abell 72, and Kn 130--belong to the hydrogen-deficient PG 1159 class, showing a strong absorption feature of He II and C IV at 4650-4690 A. Based on exploratory comparisons with synthetic model-atmosphere spectra, and the presence of Ne VIII emission lines, we estimate them to have effective temperatures of order 170,000 K. The central star of Kn 15 has a Wolf-Rayet-like spectrum, with strong and broad emission lines of He II, C IV, N V, and O V-VI. We classify it [WO2], but we note that the N V 4604-4620 A emission doublet is extremely strong, indicating a relatively high nitrogen abundance. Several of the emission lines in Kn 15 vary in equivalent width by factors as large as 1.5 among our four observations from 2019 to 2022, implying significant variations in the stellar mass-loss rate. We encourage spectroscopic monitoring. Follow-up high-time-resolution photometry of these stars would be of interest, given the large fraction of pulsating variables seen among PG 1159 and [WO] PNNi.

description: We present the first detailed comparison between million-body globular cluster simulations computed with a Hénon-type Monte Carlo code, CMC, and a direct $N$-body code, NBODY6++GPU. Both simulations start from an identical cluster model with $10^6$ particles, and include all of the relevant physics needed to treat the system in a highly realistic way. With the two codes "frozen" (no fine-tuning of any free parameters or internal algorithms of the codes) we find excellent agreement in the overall evolution of the two models. Furthermore, we find that in both models, large numbers of stellar-mass black holes (> 1000) are retained for 12 Gyr. Thus, the very accurate direct $N$-body approach confirms recent predictions that black holes can be retained in present-day, old globular clusters. We find only minor disagreements between the two models and attribute these to the small-$N$ dynamics driving the evolution of the cluster core for which the Monte Carlo assumptions are less ideal. Based on the overwhelming general agreement between the two models computed using these vastly different techniques, we conclude that our Monte Carlo approach, which is more approximate, but dramatically faster compared to the direct $N$-body, is capable of producing a very accurate description of the long-term evolution of massive globular clusters even when the clusters contain large populations of stellar-mass black holes.

description: Main concerns of PV R&D are the increase of the power and the reduction of the fabrication cost. To
realize the purposes, we investigated advanced cell-to-cell inter-connection technologies: multi-busbar and multi-wire
ribbon. As the number of the busbars for the inter-connection is increased, the series resistance of the interconnection
ribbons is decreased and the power output of the module is increased. The fill factor(FF) of a 5-busbar
module was increased by 1.3% compared to that of a 3-busbar module. The multi-wire modules with fifteen round
wire ribbons instead of conventional 3 flat ribbons were fabricated. With the help of fifteen wires, the series
resistance of the multi-wire module was reduced by 12.6% compared to that of the 3-busbar module. The FF and
module power of the multi-wire was also 1.8% and 1.3% higher than that of the 3-busbar, respectively. Additionally,
the front contacts of the solar cells for the multi-wire module need the very small size of busbar contacts and
therefore Ag paste’s consumption can be reduced by 44%.

description: Smaller solar cells with smaller currents have the potential to reduce series resistance losses in the
interconnection tabs of solar modules. Laser scribing and subsequent cleaving of cells has proved to be a high yield
processes for cutting solar cells in half and appears to be an industrially compatible process. Some companies already
introduce half-cell solar modules. In this paper we give an overview on mechanical and electrical characterization of
the solar cell cutting process, simulation results for a new circuit design with half size solar cells, processing
experience and results with large half-cell modules, as well as investigations on the impact on mechanical strength of
half size cells in solar laminates under mechanical stress. The mechanical reliability was reduced for half solar cells
after laser processing, which results in smaller fracture forces in module laminates. In modules with 144 half-cells,
we found the module power to increase from 315 W to 330 W by almost 5 %rel. Detailed investigation on series
resistance, fill factor and short circuit current contributions to this performance gain are discussed.

description: We incorporate gauge-invariant local composite operators into the twistor-space formulation of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. In this formulation, the interactions of the elementary fields are reorganized into infinitely many interaction vertices and we argue that the same applies to composite operators. To test our definition of the local composite operators in twistor space, we compute several corresponding form factors, thereby also initiating the study of form factors using the position twistor-space framework. Throughout this letter, we use the composite operator built from two identical complex scalars as a pedagogical example; we treat the general case in a follow-up paper.

description: We theoretically study the superradiant phase transition (SPT) in an indirect Rabi model, where both a two-level system and a single mode bosonic field couple to an auxiliary bosonic field. We find that the indirect spin-field coupling induced by the virtual excitation of the auxiliary field can allow the occurrence of a SPT at a critical point, and the influence of the so-called $A^2$ term in the normal Rabi model is naturally avoided. In the large detuning regime, we present the analytical expression of quantum critical point in terms of the original system parameters. The critical atom-field coupling strength is tunable, which will loosen the conditions on realizing the SPT. Considering a hybrid magnon-cavity-qubit system, we predict the squeezed cat state of magnon generated with feasible experimental parameters, which has potential applications in quantum metrology and quantum information processing.

description: Variable shading due to clouds and nearby objects has a severe impact on the energy-yield of
photovoltaic installations. Due to the industry's standard of permanently series-connected cells in a PV module,
partial shading creates mismatches between the I-V characteristics of cells. Apart from irradiation, temperature
differences can lead to non-uniform operating conditions of the module. Current mismatch in series-connected cells
reduces the total power either by limiting the extracted current or by bypassing “poorly” operating cells. Our proposal
is a configurable module topology, where cell connections can be decided and altered during operation. A network of
switches allows cells to be clustered at run-time based on their instantaneous MPP. Cost of additional components is
taken into account and the parameters of cells, wires and switches included in the simulation model are taken from
fabrication data. The proposed configurable topology can recover most of the power lost due to current mismatch
and outperforms conventional topologies under non-uniform operating conditions, while the cost remains acceptable.
In certain shading patterns with heavy shade, configurable topologies can produce double the power than
conventional PV modules.

description: In this work, we use a rigorous electro-optical model to study silicon solar cells with random textures.
First, we calculate the efficiency limits of silicon solar cells by considering a p-n junction and solving the driftdiffusion
equations as a function of the cell thickness, assuming the Lambertian light trapping. Second, we aim to
design realistic solar cells to get as close as possible to the efficiency limits. We use an efficient numerical model,
which allows us to study a wide range of the absorber thickness and material parameters. We theoretically
demonstrate how to simultaneously increase short-circuit current and improve open-circuit voltage by, respectively,
texturing the front surface and decreasing the absorber thickness.

description: Persistent refractive index changes for improved light management have been created in 3.2 mm thick low
iron float glass using Ti:Sapphire (800 nm) and Yb:KGW (1030 and 515 nm) femtosecond (fs) lasers with pulse durations
of 120 and 270 fs. Using a focussing lens or objective with sufficiently high numerical aperture, optical modifications
with approximately spheroidal shape, oriented along the laser propagation direction, can be prepared in arbitrary
depth below the glass surface, without any noticeable modification of the glass surfaces (front and back side). Here, optical
structures of ~ 2 μm diameter and, depending on laser fluence up to 150 μm length have been prepared. With a lineby-
line inscribing procedure, different phase gratings have been written as test structures. In accordance with corresponding
numerical simulations, these gratings showed diffraction efficiencies of up to 50% of the incident light into first diffraction
order. Due to the highly nonlinear scribing process, the residual laser intensity it too weak to cause any damage
to active solar cell material located below the glass. Therefore, the technique has the potential to improve the light management
of already completely built solar modules by way of a laser post-treatment, adapted to the individual positioning
of the shadowing components. Also, an application to thin-film photovoltaic devices based on glass substrates by optically
redirecting the light from the scribing regions to active areas appears possible.

description: It is well known that information contained in a protein sequence is what allows it to fold into its three-dimensional shape, which performs a specific function. It has been possible for some time to search for proteins with similar sequences, using bioinformatics tools such as BLAST. But it is also known that proteins with similar, or even the same sequence can adopt different structures and vice-versa. With this in mind, we look to use a method called Rosetta-HMMER to perform conformationally specific sequence searches in order to exploit this property of proteins. This method involves the use of Rosetta to redesign protein structures to fit a specified α-carbon backbone, and then uses HMMER to generate a sequence profile. This profile can then be used to query for sequences able to adopt the specified backbone structure. These collected sequences can then be aligned for the purpose of performing statistical coupling analysis. We have used this Rosetta-HMMER method in conjunction with available structures of the α7 acetylcholine receptor to show that distinct sequence profiles generated from different conformations of the same protein are capable of retrieving unique sets of natural sequences when used as a query. We have also shown that when these unique sets of natural sequences are used to perform statistical coupling analysis, different residues are identified as statistically coupled, potentially generating insight into residues that have more potential importance for one backbone conformation over another.

description: Novel module technologies have previously proven that cost of crystalline silicon solar cell processing
can be significantly decreased if front busbars and rear soldering pads are omitted. Most of the available technologies
are proprietary therefore the aim of this work is to search for directly accessible interconnection technologies such as
conductive film (CF) to replace the soldering process and allow for interconnection of busbar-free solar cells. The
paper investigated if cells without front busbars and rear pads can be modified to allow for a stable interconnection
during extended damp heat (DH) and thermo-cycling (TC) test. For this standard 60 cells modules comprising cells
with and without busbars and rear pads were interconnected by means of CF. The results showed that due to the poor
adhesion of CF to the screen printed Al layer no possibility exist the module to pass TC200, therefore AlAg or equal
is required. Electrical results for cells without busbars but with pads showed superior cell to module (CTM) losses
and promising climatic testing data for CF if compared to soldered references but with further optimization work
required on the metallization grid. For standard solar cells all obtained data make the CF interconnection a viable and
robust technology to replace the standard soldering coming along with better CTM results.

description: The wavelength dependence of the Kormendy relation (KR) is well characterised at low redshift but poorly studied at intermediate redshifts. The KR provides information on the evolution of the population of early-type galaxies (ETGs). Therefore, by studying it, we may shed light on the assembly processes of these objects and their size evolution. As studies at different redshifts are generally conducted in different rest-frame wavebands, it is important to investigate whether the KR is dependent on wavelength. Knowledge of such a dependence is fundamental to correctly interpreting the conclusions we might draw from these studies. We analyse the KRs of the three Hubble Frontier Fields clusters, Abell S1063 (z = 0.348), MACSJ0416.1-2403 (z = 0.396), and MACS J1149.5+2223 (z = 0.542), as a function of wavelength. This is the first time the KR of ETGs has been explored consistently over such a large range of wavelengths at intermediate redshifts. We exploit very deep HST photometry, ranging from the observed B-band to the H-band, and MUSE integral field spectroscopy. We improve the structural parameter estimation we performed in a previous work by means of a newly developed Python package called morphofit. With its use on cluster ETGs, we find that the KR slopes increase smoothly with wavelength from the optical to the near-infrared (NIR) bands in all three clusters, with the intercepts becoming fainter at lower redshifts due to the passive ageing of the ETG stellar populations. The slope trend is consistent with previous findings at lower redshifts. The slope increase with wavelength implies that smaller ETGs are more centrally concentrated than larger ETGs in the NIR with respect to the optical regime. As different bands probe different stellar populations in galaxies, the slope increase also implies that smaller ETGs have stronger internal gradients with respect to larger ETGs.
