description: We present 850$μ$m observations of a sample of 8 nearby spiral galaxies, made using the SCUBA-2 camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) as part of the JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey (NGLS). We corrected our data for the presence of the $^{12}$CO $J=3\to 2$ line in the SCUBA-2 850$μ$m bandwidth using NGLS HARP data, finding a typical $^{12}$CO contribution of $\sim 20$%. We measured dust column densities, temperatures and opacity indices by fitting spectral energy distributions constructed from SCUBA-2 and archival Herschel observations, and used archival GALEX and Spitzer data to make maps of surface density of star formation ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$). Typically, comparing SCUBA-2-derived H$_2$ surface densities ($Σ_{\rm H_2}$) to $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ gives shallow star formation law indices within galaxies, with SCUBA-2-derived values typically being sublinear and Herschel-derived values typically being broadly linear. This difference is likely due to the effects of atmospheric filtering on the SCUBA-2 data. Comparing the mean values of $Σ_{\rm H_2}$ and $Σ_{\rm SFR}$ of the galaxies in our sample returns a steeper star formation law index, broadly consistent with both the Kennicutt-Schmidt value of 1.4 and linearity. Our results show that a SCUBA-2 detection is a good predictor of star formation. We suggest that Herschel emission traces gas in regions which will form stars on timescales $\sim 5-100$ Myr, comparable to the star formation timescale traced by GALEX and Spitzer data, while SCUBA-2 preferentially traces the densest gas within these regions, which likely forms stars on shorter timescales.

description: Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films were deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis using a two solution approach. A
Cu- containing solution was sprayed first, followed by a second Zn- and Sn- containing solution, thus allowing higher
salt concentration without the risk of precipitation. Two different sulfur sources such as thiourea and thioacetamide
were investigated to achieve sufficient Zn incorporation in the absorber. Thioacetamide and the addition of lactic acid
resulted in better control over the metal ratio in the final deposited film. The influence of cupric chloride and cupric
acetate of the film morphology was also investigated indicating a higher crystallinity of the kesterite film in the case
of cupric chloride. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed kesterite structure with a MoSe2 secondary phase. Solar
cells made with cupric chloride and thioacetamide in the precursor solution were fabricated and characterized.

description: A novel selenization process to yield a double-graded Ga distribution in the CuIn1-xGaxSe2
(CIGSe) absorber was investigated. The pre-heating treatment benefits the crystallization and
depth-profiled composition in films, and the ratio of Ga/(Ga+In) atomic concentration (Ga%) near
the surface can be further improved by incorporating Ga into the film towards the end of
selenization. The Ga% was increased to 20% in the CIGSe film with pre-heating, while the Ga% was
less than 7% in the reference sample. The double-graded Ga as well as band-gap distribution can
induce the BSF phenomenon and enhance device properties, such as open circuit voltage.

description: Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion modifies the disk viscosity, resulting in the cyclic depletion and refilling of the inner disk on short timescales. Such a scenario, however, has only been quantitatively verified for a single stellar-mass black hole. Although there are hints of these cycles in a few isolated cases, their apparent absence in the variable emission of most bright accreting neutron stars and black holes has been a lingering puzzle. Here we report the presence of the same multiwavelength instability around an accreting neutron star. Moreover, we show that the variability across the electromagnetic spectrum-from radio to X-ray-of both black holes and neutron stars at high accretion rates can be explained consistently if the accretion disks are unstable, producing relativistic ejections during transitions that deplete or refill the inner disk. Such new association allows us to identify the main physical components responsible for the fast multiwavelength variability of highly accreting compact objects.

description: Energy harvesting (EH) has recently emerged as a key technology for green communications as it can power wireless networks with renewable energy sources. However, directly replacing the conventional non-EH transmitters by EH nodes will be a challenge. In this paper, we propose to deploy extra EH nodes as relays over an existing non-EH network. Specifically, the considered non-EH network consists of multiple source-destination (S-D) pairs. The deployed EH relays will take turns to assist each S-D pair, and energy diversity can be achieved to combat the low EH rate of each EH relay. To make the best of these EH relays, with the source transmit power minimization as the design objective, we formulate a joint power assignment and relay selection problem, which, however, is NP-hard. We thus propose a general framework to develop efficient sub-optimal algorithms, which is mainly based on a sufficient condition for the feasibility of the optimization problem. This condition yields useful design insights and also reveals an energy hardening effect, which provides the possibility to exempt the requirement of non-causal EH information. Simulation results will show that the proposed cooperation strategy can achieve near-optimal performance and provide significant power savings. Compared to the greedy cooperation method that only optimizes the performance of the current transmission block, the proposed strategy can achieve the same performance with much fewer relays, and the performance gap increases with the number of S-D pairs.

description: Thin Cu2ZnSnS4 films have been deposited by spray pyrolysis method in argon and ambient
atmosphere, followed by annealing to improve the film quality. Temperature dependence of the resistivity,, is
investigated before and after the annealing in the interval of T between ~ 10 – 300 K. The as-deposited films, as well
as those annealed at low temperature, exhibit the Mott variable-range hopping (VRH) conduction. Analysis of the
experimental  (T) data has yielded microscopic relevant parameters of the layers. Annealing at highest temperatures
determines domination of the inter-grain (IG) conductivity over the Mott VRH conduction mechanism. The grain
sizes, estimated with the analysis of the IG conduction, are in a reasonable agreement with those obtained by
scanning electron microscopy investigations.

description: With the goal of elucidating the effects of low metallicity on the star formation activity, feedback and interstellar medium of low metallicity environments, SOFIA has observed a 40' x 20' (60 pc x 30 pc) area of our neighboring metal-poor Large Magellanic Cloud in 158 micron [CII] and 88 micron [OIII], targeting the southern molecular ridge just south of 30Doradus. We find extensive [CII] emission over the region, which encompasses a wide variety of local physical conditions, from bright compact star forming regions to lower density environments beyond, much of which does not correspond to CO structures. Preliminary analyses indicates that most of the molecular hydrogen is in a CO-dark gas component.

description: Isoflux tension propagation (IFTP) theory and Langevin dynamics (LD) simulations are employed to study the dynamics of channel-driven polymer translocation in which a polymer translocates into a narrow channel and the monomers in the channel experience a driving force fc. In the high driving force limit, regardless of the channel width, IFTP theory predicts τ ∝ f βc for the translocation time, where β = −1 is the force scaling exponent. Moreover, LD data show that for a very narrow channel fitting only a single file of monomers, the entropic force due to the subchain inside the channel does not play a significant role in the translocation dynamics and the force exponent β = −1 regardless of the force magnitude. As the channel width increases the number of possible spatial configurations of the subchain inside the channel becomes significant and the resulting entropic force causes the force exponent to drop below unity.

description: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films with appropriate composition, good homogeneity and large grain size
are crucial to obtain high efficiency devices. In this work CZTS thin films are grown by two-steps processes, which
consist in the precursor deposition, followed by a thermal treatment. Different CZTS thin films were obtained starting
from both e-beam evaporated ZnS/Sn/Cu stacked layers and co-sputtered metal sulfides precursors. A first
comparison of these two different growth processes is made looking at the final CZTS films morphology,
microstructure and optical properties. Further information on the optoelectronic properties of CZTS is obtained
analyzing the J-V characteristics and the External Quantum Efficiency of the final PV devices. The better
homogeneity and reproducibility of the process based on co-sputtered precursors allowed to fabricate a CZTS solar
cell with a conversion efficiency of 5.7%.

description: We present results of a 400-ks Chandra observation of the young shell supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3, containing a pulsar and pulsar-wind nebula (PWN). We measure a mean expansion rate for the shell since 2000 of 0.0277+/-0.0018% per yr, implying an age between 1400 and 2400 yr, and making G11.2-0.3 one of the youngest core-collapse SNRs in the Galaxy. However, we find very high absorption ($A_V \sim 16^m \pm 2^m$), confirming near-IR determinations and ruling out a claimed association with the possible historical SN of 386 CE. The PWN shows strong jets and a faint torus within a larger, more diffuse region of radio emission and nonthermal X-rays. Central soft thermal X-ray emission is anticorrelated with the PWN; that, and more detailed morphological evidence, indicates that the reverse shock has already reheated all ejecta and compressed the PWN. The pulsar characteristic energy-loss timescale is well in excess of the remnant age, and we suggest that the bright jets have been produced since the recompression. The relatively pronounced shell and diffuse hard X-ray emission in the interior, enhanced at the inner edge of the shell, indicate that the immediate circumstellar medium into which G11.2-0.3 is expanding was quite anisotropic. We propose a possible origin for G11.2-0.3 in a stripped-envelope progenitor that had lost almost all its envelope mass, in an anisotropic wind or due to binary interaction, leaving a compact core whose fast winds swept previously lost mass into a dense irregular shell, and which exploded as a Type cIIb or Ibc supernova.

Prospective Implications of EUV Coronal Plumes for Magnetic-network Genesis of Coronal Heating, Coronal-hole Solar Wind, and Solar-wind Magnetic-field Switchbacks

description: We propose that coronal heating in EUV coronal plumes is weaker, not stronger, than in adjacent non-plume coronal magnetic funnels. This expectation stems from (i) the observation that an EUV plume is born as the magnetic flux at the foot of the plume's magnetic funnel becomes tightly packed together, and (ii) the observation that coronal heating in quiet regions increases in proportion to the coast-line length of the underlying magnetic network. We do not rule out the possibility that coronal heating in EUV plumes might be stronger, not weaker, but we point out how the opposite is plausible. We reason that increasing coronal heating during plume birth would cause co-temporal increasing net upward mass flux in the plume, whereas decreasing coronal heating during plume birth would cause co-temporal net downward mass flux in quiet-region plumes and co-temporal decrease in net upward mass flux or even net downward mass flux in coronal-hole plumes. We further reason that conclusive evidence of weaker coronal heating in EUV plumes would strengthen the possibility that magnetic twist waves from fine-scale magnetic explosions at the edges of the magnetic network (1) power much of the coronal heating in quiet regions, and (2) power most of the coronal heating and solar wind acceleration in coronal holes, with many twist waves surviving to become magnetic-field switchbacks in the solar wind from coronal holes.

description: This paper evaluates the performance of thin film photovoltaic modules (a-Si and CIS) under outdoor
conditions based on multiple measurements. The experimental set-up was installed at the University of Patras,
Greece, (latitude 38o) and the measurements were carried out during a full year producing data, for a typical
Mediterranean climate. The results of this study came about by analyzing more than five thousands experimental
values, after classification according to temperature, irradiation and season. The multitude of measurements
guarantees the reliability of the results, allowing us to evaluate the behavior of thin film solar modules. As it was
expected, temperature for the a-Si module did not affect the performance and the efficiency significantly, especially
for irradiation levels lower than 600 W/m2. On the contrary, the CIS module presented obvious variations to
performance, pointing out the temperature dependence. Studying the modules through seasons, CIS did not function
ideally for high irradiation levels. It also seemed unable to utilize the summer high solar irradiation. Nevertheless, the
winter behavior was near to the nominal. Comparing maximum normalized power between the two modules, the CIS
performed better than the a-Si, only at irradiation levels above 700 W/m2.

description: We consider non-smooth functions of (truncated) Wiener--Hopf type operators on the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$. Our main results are uniform estimates for trace norms ($d\ge 1$) and quasiclassical asymptotic formulas for traces of the resulting operators ($d=1$). Here, we follow Harold Widom's seminal ideas, who proved such formulas for smooth functions decades ago. The extension to non-smooth functions and the uniformity of the estimates in various (physical) parameters rest on recent advances by one of the authors (AVS). We use our results to obtain the large-scale behaviour of the local entropy and the spatially bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of thermal equilibrium states of non-interacting fermions in position space $\mathbb R^d$ ($d\ge 1$) at positive temperature, $T>0$. In particular, our definition of the thermal EE leads to estimates that are simultaneously sharp for small $T$ and large scaling parameter $α>0$ provided that the product $Tα$ remains bounded from below. Here $α$ is the reciprocal quasiclassical parameter. For $d=1$ we obtain for the thermal EE an asymptotic formula which is consistent with the large-scale behaviour of the ground-state EE (at $T=0$), previously established by the authors for $d\ge 1$.

description: Some reddened quasars appear to be transitional objects in the merger-induced black hole growth/galaxy evolution paradigm, where a heavily obscured nucleus starts to be unveiled by powerful quasar winds evacuating the surrounding cocoon of dust and gas. Hard X-ray observations are able to peer through this gas and dust, revealing the properties of circumnuclear obscuration. Here, we present NuSTAR and XMM-Newton/Chandra observations of FIRST-2MASS selected red quasars F2M 0830+3759 and F2M 1227+3214. We find that though F2M 0830+3759 is moderately obscured ($N_{\rm H,Z} = 2.1\pm0.2 \times10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$) and F2M 1227+3214 is mildly absorbed ($N_{\rm H,Z} = 3.4^{+0.8}_{-0.7}\times10^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$) along the line-of-sight, heavier global obscuration may be present in both sources, with $N_{\rm H,S} = 3.7^{+4.1}_{-2.6} \times 10^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $< 5.5\times10^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$, for F2M 0830+3759 and F2M 1227+3214, respectively. F2M 0830+3759 also has an excess of soft X-ray emission below 1 keV which is well accommodated by a model where 7% of the intrinsic AGN X-ray emission is scattered into the line-of-sight. While F2M 1227+3214 has a dust-to-gas ratio ($E(B-V)$/$N_{\rm H}$) consistent with the Galactic value, the $E(B-V)$/$N_{\rm H}$ value for F2M 0830+3759 is lower than the Galactic standard, consistent with the paradigm that the dust resides on galactic scales while the X-ray reprocessing gas originates within the dust-sublimation zone of the broad-line-region. The X-ray and 6.1$μ$m luminosities of these red quasars are consistent with the empirical relations derived for high-luminosity, unobscured quasars, extending the parameter space of obscured AGN previously observed by NuSTAR to higher luminosities.

description: The importance of integrated quantum photonics in the telecom band resides on the possibility of interfacing with the optical network infrastructure developed for classical communications. In this framework, femtosecond laser written integrated photonic circuits, already assessed for quantum information experiments in the 800 nm wavelength range, have great potentials. In fact these circuits, written in glass, can be perfectly mode-matched at telecom wavelength to the in/out coupling fibers, which is a key requirement for a low-loss processing node in future quantum optical networks. In addition, for several applications quantum photonic devices will also need to be dynamically reconfigurable. Here we experimentally demonstrate the high performance of femtosecond laser written photonic circuits for quantum experiments in the telecom band and we show the use of thermal shifters, also fabricated by the same femtosecond laser, to accurately tune them. State-of-the-art manipulation of single and two-photon states is demonstrated, with fringe visibilities greater than 95%. This opens the way to the realization of reconfigurable quantum photonic circuits on this technological platform.

description: The two-photon quantum Rabi model with quadratic coupling is studied using extended squeezed states and we derive $G$-functions for Bargmann index $q=1/4$ and $3/4$. The simple singularity structure of the $G$-function allows to draw conclusions about the distribution of eigenvalues along the real axis. The previously found picture of the spectral collapse at critical coupling $g_{\mathrm{c}}$ has to be modified regarding the low lying states, especially the ground state: We obtain a finite gap between ground state and the continuum of excited states at the collapse point. For large qubit splitting, also other low lying states may be separated from the continuum at $g_{\mathrm{c}}$. We have carried out a perturbative analysis allowing for explicit and simple formulae of the eigenstates. Interestingly, a vanishing of the gap between ground state and excited continuum at $g_{\mathrm{c}}$ is obtained in each finite order of approximation. This demonstrates cleary the non-pertubative nature of the excitation gap. We corroborate these findings with a variational calculation for the ground state.

description: Low amounts of zinc (0.4 at %) in CuInS2 absorbers increase VOC of the solar cells. However, an
increased zinc concentration within CuInS2 absorbers causes a higher structural defect density. Thus, the short-circuit
current of the corresponding solar cell drops down. The aim of this work is the modification of the surface at the
Cu(In,Ga)S2-CdS interface by preparation of a shallow zinc profile without doping the whole absorber layer.
Therefore thin ZnO films were sputtered on as-deposited as well as on KCN-etched Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorbers which
were afterwards heated by short-term Xe-flash lamp annealing (FLA). Spatial temperature distributions in a typical
layer stack (glass substrate, molybdenum and Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorber) were calculated within milliseconds after the
FLA-treatment. Adjusting the energy density and the pulse length of the Xe-flash define the peak temperature in
Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorber layers. Zinc-depth profiles across the absorber layers were analysed by secondary ion mass
spectrometry (SIMS). Shallow zinc-profiles in KCN-etched Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorber layers can be realized with FLA
even when using higher energy densities while in presence of CuS phase as-deposited films seems to promote zincdiffusion
into the whole absorber layer. Cu(In,Ga)S2 absorbers flake off when using too high energy densities i.e. for
peak temperatures higher than 600 °C. The short-circuit current density of solar cells with FLA treated
Cu(In,Ga)S2:Zn absorber is comparable to that of reference cells. Solar cells with Cu(In,Ga)S2:Zn absorber were
slightly sensitive at wavelengths greater than 850 nm.

description: Hadron colour confinement, a phenomenon central to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), presents a formidable challenge in theoretical physics. The non-perturbative nature of confinement necessitates innovative approaches to the production of and reaction mechanisms between these subatomic particles. In the pursuit of comprehending the fundamental constituents of matter, particle resonances assume a pivotal role. Through the utilization of advanced methodologies like 𝑆-Matrix formulations, more profound insights into resonance phenomena and their effects on the dynamics of particle interactions can be attained. This research paper embarks on a mathematical journey that holds the potential to shed light on the intricate structure of particle interactions. With a specific focus on the 𝜌(770) resonance, the analysis delves into the mathematical modelling of the 𝑇-Matrix.

description: Finite-length armchair graphene nanoribbons can behave as one dimensional topological materials, that may show edge states in their zigzag-terminated edges, depending on their width and termination. We show here a full solution of Tight-Binding graphene rectangles of any length and width that can be seen as either finite-length armchair or zigzag ribbons. We find exact analytical expressions for both bulk and edge eigen-states and eigen-energies. We write down exact expressions for the Coulomb interactions among edge states and introduce a Hubbard-dimer model to analyse the emergence and features of different magnetic states at the edges, whose existence depends on the ribbon length. We find ample room for experimental testing of our predictions in N = 5 armchair ribbons. We compare the analytical results with ab initio simulations to benchmark the quality of the dimer model and to set its parameters. A further detailed analysis of the ab initio Hamiltonian allows us to identify those variations of the Tight-Binding parameters that affect the topological properties of the ribbons.

description: Time-resolved measurements of the photoluminescence (PL) decay upon pulsed laser excitation (TRPL)
allow to study the recombination kinetics in photovoltaic absorber materials. Hence, the PL decay time measures
the electronic quality of the semiconductor. TR-PL might thus be an attractive technique for the in-line inspection of
photovoltaic absorber materials in a production environment. For such purpose, a high signal-to-noise ratio is a
prerequisite for achieving short signal acquisition times while a fast and reliable fitting procedure for evaluation of
the PL transients is essential to give a fast control feedback. In a production environment the technique should further
assure a certain tolerance against transient experimental conditions (e.g. displacements of items within the optical
path, varying laser intensity). In this work we discuss the relevance of these issues regarding the general qualification
of the TR-PL technique as in-line inspection tool for the mass production of CIGSe thin film photovoltaic modules.

description: ZnO films have been grown on a moving glass substrate by high temperature (480 0C) chemical vapour
deposition (CVD) and low temperature (200 0C) plasma enhanced CVD (PE-CVD) process at atmospheric pressure.
Deposition rates above 7 nm/s have been achieved for substrate speeds from 20 to 500 mm/min. The conductivity of the
films is enhanced by Al doping of CVD ZnO or by exposure to near-UV radiation of PE-CVD ZnO. Both CVD ZnO:Al
and UV-exposed PE-CVD i-ZnO films are highly transparent (> 85% in the visible range) and conductive (< 15 Ohm/sq
for a thickness above 1200 nm). ZnO:Al has been used as front electrode in amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells while
i-ZnO has been applied as electrode in CIGS solar cells, achieving an efficiency of 8% and 15.4%, respectively.

description: Luminescence imaging, both photoluminescence and electroluminescence imaging is widely used as a
powerful inspection tool to detect and characterize several defects on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film absorber or device. In
this contribution a spectral luminescence imaging technique will be proposed which allows the imaging of the
bandgap, determining the absorption of a module, i.e. the lowest bandgap in a graded gap structure. According to the
reciprocity theorem the spectral absorption and the spectral emission (for electroluminescence measurements) are
related to each other. Therefore the lowest gap also determines the emission wavelength for an electroluminescence
measurement.

description: In this work, a new method for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film growth has been tested, which is different from
the common co-evaporation and sputtering processes. The purpose of the deposition method proposed is to find a
solution that combines the advantages of the sputtering and evaporation solutions for a scalable process to an
industrial level. The system object of the paper allows to realize an indirect deposition of the film by sputtering to the
substrate. In particular, metal precursors, with the desired ratio, are initially deposited in an area characterized by
inert atmosphere, without vapors of selenium, on one or more cylindrical bodies used for the transfer. When the
material deposited on the cylindrical bodies is located - as a result of the movement of rotation of the latter - in front
of the substrate, where a Se atmosphere is present, it is evaporated by means of localized heating. At the moment,
with the new procedure an efficiency of 14.8% has been reached on glass.

description: Subgenus Cyphobrachyiulus Grusiniulus Lohmander, 1936 stat. nov. Updated diagnosis. A subgenus of the genus Cyphobrachyiulus differing from other subgenera by the following combination of characters: promere significantly shorter than opisthomere; opisthomere possessing an apicoposterior process and lacking a lateral process or lobe; male coxae 2 not enlarged. Comment. Apart from the unusually short promere, the gonopods and vulva in Grusiniulus match the diagnosis of the genus Cyphobrachyiulus. Consequently, the former taxon is downgraded to a subgenus of the latter genus. Examination of the gonopods of the sole species, Cyphobrachyiulus (Grusiniulus) redikorzevi (Lohmander, 1936), shows that the opisthomeral 'horizontally protruding protecting branch directed mesocaudad’ [translated from Lohmander (1936)] is not part of the solenomere, as interpreted by Vagalinski and Lazányi (2018), but is homologous to the apicoposterior process present in some species of Cyphobrachyiulus. Grusiniulus is particularly similar to the subgenus Grusiniulus Diaxylus in having a short thumb-like apicoposterior process of the opisthomere that protrudes perpendicularly to CBO, and a subquadrangular promere (i.e. with a broad rather than tapering apex, and with mostly parallel mesal and lateral margins). However, the very short promere in C. (G.) redikorzevi seems to provide sufficiently solid grounds for keeping the name Grusiniulus in use.

description: Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films have recently been raising interest as a basis for thin film solar cells that
can provide a high conversion efficiency, thanks to its direct band gap characteristics and high absorption coefficient. In
order to improve the efficiency of such devices by reducing the optical losses, we have developed a methodology to build
an efficient model for the simulation of the optical properties of CZTSe-CdS-ZnO based solar cells. As a first step, the
layers are characterized separately in order to extract their complex refractive index (n,k). Flat layers such as CdS and
ZnO are characterized using ellipsometry, while the rough CZTSe layers are analyzed using reflection & transmission
measurements. The extracted optical parameters are then used as inputs in a multilayer plane-wave based simulation
software. The simulation results are compared to the experimental reflection and transmission spectra and showed a very
good match.
