description: The influence of front-side transparent conduction oxide films in the performance of silicon
heterojunction solar cells with the front-emitter and the rear-emitter structures was investigated. The characteristic of the
transparent conduction oxide films was examined. The increase in oxygen contents of transparent conduction oxide films
significantly increased the short current density, and decrease the fill factor of fabricated cells using the corresponding
films. In comparison with the front emitter, the fill factor decreased slightly for the rear emitter. Due to n-type
conductivity of transparent conduction oxide in the rear-emitter solar cells, the toleration of the electrical property of
transparent conduction oxide was thought to be extensive, which promoted the majority carriers (electrons) to collect and
transport to the electrodes. Using rear emitter is believed to be able to effectively increase the short current density and
keep the fill factor, thereby increasing cell efficiency. The efficiency of the rear-emitter HJT solar cell was 23.4% .

description: We discuss the quasi-normal oscillations of black holes which are sourced by a nonlinear electrodynamic field. While previous studies have focused on the computation of quasi-normal frequencies for the wave or higher spin equation on a fixed background geometry described by such black holes, here we compute for the first time the quasi-normal frequencies for the coupled electromagnetic-gravitational linear perturbations. To this purpose, we consider a parametrized family of Lagrangians for the electromagnetic field which contains the Maxwell Lagrangian as a special case. In the Maxwell case, the unique spherically symmetric black hole solutions are described by the Reissner-Nordström family and in this case it is well-known that the quasi-normal spectra in the even- and odd-parity sectors are identical to each other. However, when moving away from the Maxwell case, we obtain deformed Reissner-Nordström black holes, and we show that in this case there is a parity splitting in the quasi-normal mode spectra. A partial explanation for this phenomena is provided by considering the eikonal (high-frequency) limit.

description: The seed and plate approach with subsequent Ni-Cu-Ag light-induced plating is still of high interest for
the front side metallization of silicon solar cells. From a technical point of view (shape of the contact fingers, lateral
conductivity), the quality of the plated front contacts is considerably higher compared to screen printed contacts.
From an economical point of view, this approach offers the potential to reduce silver consumption significantly.
Within this work, a fine line seed layer front side grid has been applied using two innovative fine line printing
technologies – rotational flexographic printing and inkjet printing. Both technologies achieved an average seed layer
finger width < 40 μm, in case of flexographic printing even < 30 μm. The electrical results of the solar cells with
inkjet and flexo printed seed layer after Ni-Cu-Ag plating have been compared to state-of-the-art screen printed solar
cells. The total silver consumption of the seed and plate cells of 15 to 17 mg on the front side is considerably smaller
than the screen printed reference cells with approx. 100 mg. Both groups achieved an average conversion efficiency
of  = 19.1 % which is comparable to screen printed solar cells on the same material.

description: Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) is gaining acceptance in solar cell manufacturing due to
its potential for high efficiency for p-type wafers and easy integration into existing lines. For p-type mono solar cells,
the cell efficiency gain arrives 0.6~1.0%, while for multi solar cell is 0.5~0.8%, which is very attractive to the
industry. We report the batch cell efficiency of 19.0% for multi PERC, and 20.70% for mono PERC solar cells in
pilot run. Characterization was performed at each cell process step to insure good reflection, fine emitter quality,
excellent front and back passivation, and perfect ohm contact. Boron-oxygen complex is the origin of the light
induced degradation (LID) of the solar cells. LID is the cell efficiency bottleneck because of the bulk recombination
even if the silicon surface is well passivated. In this paper, we report the LID regeneration evaluation test by thermal
and light illumination. Cell level tests reveal the relative degradation is around 2.0% for mono-PERC and 1.1% for
mc-PERC, by means of LID regeneration, which is acceptable. The combination of cell efficiency and LID
regeneration solution gives a direction to industrialization the PERC technology.

description: Amorphous a-SiO2 host-matrices were implanted with Sn-ions with and without posterior thermal tempering at 900 °C for 1 hour in ambient air. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS core-levels, XPS valence band mapping), photoluminescence (PL) probing, and density functional calculations (DFT) were employed to enable a detailed electronic structure characterization of these samples. It was experimentally established that the process of Sn-embedding into the a-SiO2 host occurs following two dissimilar trends: the Sn4+ -> Si4+ substitution in a-SiO2:Sn (without tempering), and Sn-metal clustering as interstitials in a-SiO2:Sn (900 °C, 1 hour). Both trends were modeled using calculated formation energies and partial densities of states (PDOS) as well as valence band (VB) simulations, which yielded evidence that substitutional defect generation occurs with the help of ion-implantation stimulated translocation of the host-atoms from their stoichiometric positions to the interstitial void. Experimental and theoretical data obtained coincide in terms of the reported Sn-loss effect in a-SiO2:Sn (900 °C, 1 hour) due to thermally-induced electronic host-structure re-arraignment, which manifests as backward host-atoms translocation into stoichiometric positions and the posterior formation of Sn-metal clusters.

description: A block-correlated coupled cluster (BCCC) method based on the generalized valence bond (GVB) wave function (GVB-BCCC in short) is proposed and implemented at the ab initio level, which represents an attractive multireference electronic structure method for strongly correlated systems. The GVB-BCCC method is demonstrated to provide accurate descriptions for multiple bond breaking in small molecules, although the GVB reference function is qualitatively wrong for the studied processes. For a challenging prototype of strongly correlated systems, tridecane with all 12 single C-C bonds at various distances, our calculations have shown that the GVB-BCCC2b method can provide highly comparable results as the density matrix renormalization group method for potential energy surfaces along simultaneous dissociation of all C-C bonds.

description: Half-cell modules are a relatively simple way to reach very good module efficiencies due to the
reduction of ohmic losses. A standard manufacturing method is scribe and break cleaving of full-sized wafers
into two halves. In this paper, the alternative approach of the new method of Thermal Laser Separation (TLS)
is investigated. TLS is a kerf-less non-ablative method, which first heats up the wafer by a laser beam along a
cutting line to generate compressive stress, and immediately afterwards cools it down quickly by a fluid or
aerosol jet, generating tensile stress which finally separates the wafer without material loss. Cut edges appear
optically superior to any competing method. Before the separation cut, an initial small diamond or laser scribe
is needed. We investigate the influence of cutting parameters, as laser power, cutting speed, cooling and others,
on the process result, which is characterized by geometrical dimensions like crack deviations and the bending
strength.

description: Il presente saggio intende ripercorrere e analizzare l’itinerario artistico di Richard Long. A partire dalla fine degli anni Sessanta, l’artista inglese ha fatto del paesaggio naturale il soggetto e la materia prima della sua creazione artistica. La rappresentazione del paesaggio passa così attraverso un processo di delimitazione dell’ambiente naturale, mentre le sue opere si realizzano concretamente attraverso l’atto di camminare in luoghi remoti del nostro pianeta. Le linee “immaginarie” che tagliano il territorio, i percorsi registrati da testi e fotografie, le sculture inserite nel paesaggio, e le installazioni nelle gallerie, realizzate utilizzando i più disparati materiali naturali, sono l’esito finale di questi percorsi. Questa semplice azione dilata così i tradizionali confini della scultura, rendendo l’oggetto artistico immateriale, e includendo in es-so una quarta dimensione, quella del tempo.

description: The passivation of silicon surfaces is required to reach high-efficiency with most of modern solar cell
device structures. It has been demonstrated that the deposition of charged dielectric layers such a-SiNx:H or Al2O3 on
the silicon surface is an efficient passivation technology. In particular, the Al2O3 material is efficient to passivate
p-type silicon surfaces, providing lifetimes greater than 1 ms for those with layers deposited by the ALD technique.
Other deposition techniques, like magnetron sputtering, have not succeeded to provide this level of passivation,
probably due to the damage caused on the silicon wafer surface by the high-energy deposition process. As a solution,
we assume that an intrinsic a-Si:H very thin interlayer can serve both as a physical protection layer and as a source of
hydrogen atoms for surface chemical passivation. In this regard, we have developed a new approach based on the use
of an intrinsic a-Si:H interlayer between the silicon wafer and the 50-nm thick passivation layer of amorphous Al2O3
deposited by sputtering. The results, obtained by QSSPC measurements, demonstrated effective lifetimes in the range
of 1–2 ms for both n-type and p-type float zone silicon wafers covered with the a-Si:H/Al2O3 passivation layers and
after an annealing process at 350 ºC.

description: With the rapid advancement of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and vehicular communications, Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) is emerging as a promising technology to support low-latency ITS applications and services. In this paper, we consider the computation offloading problem from mobile vehicles/users in a heterogeneous VEC scenario, and focus on the network- and base station selection problems, where different networks have different traffic loads. In a fast-varying vehicular environment, computation offloading experience of users is strongly affected by the latency due to the congestion at the edge computing servers co-located with the base stations. However, as a result of the non-stationary property of such an environment and also information shortage, predicting this congestion is an involved task. To address this challenge, we propose an on-line learning algorithm and an off-policy learning algorithm based on multi-armed bandit theory. To dynamically select the least congested network in a piece-wise stationary environment, these algorithms predict the latency that the offloaded tasks experience using the offloading history. In addition, to minimize the task loss due to the mobility of the vehicles, we develop a method for base station selection. Moreover, we propose a relaying mechanism for the selected network, which operates based on the sojourn time of the vehicles. Through intensive numerical analysis, we demonstrate that the proposed learning-based solutions adapt to the traffic changes of the network by selecting the least congested network, thereby reducing the latency of offloaded tasks. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed joint base station selection and the relaying mechanism minimize the task loss in a vehicular environment.

description: The search for novel materials has recently brought research attention to alkali metal-based chalcogenides (ABZ) as a new class of semiconducting inorganic materials. Various theoretical and computational studies have highlighted many compositions of this class as ideal functional materials for application in energy conversion and storage devices. This Perspective discusses the expansive compositional landscape of ABZ compositions that inherently gives a wide spectrum of properties with great potential for application. In the present paper, we examine the technique of synthesizing this particular class of materials and explore their potential for compositional engineering in order to manipulate key functional properties. This study presents the notable findings that have been documented thus far in addition to outlining the potential avenues for implementation and the associated challenges they present. By fulfilling the sustainability requirements of being relativity earth-abundant, environmentally benign, and biocompatible, we anticipate a promising future for alkali metal chalcogenides. Through this Perspective, we aim to inspire continued research on this emerging class of materials, thereby enabling forthcoming breakthroughs in the realms of photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and energy storage.

description: Cosa accumuna le prime sperimentazioni postmoderne degli anni Settanta e le Soap Opere televisive? In Matrix vi è nascosta Cindy Sherman? Perché un critico d’arte come Gillo Dorfles affronta la figura di Adolf Hitler durante i suoi studi sul kitsch? Cosa permette a I Simpson di convivere sullo stesso piano discorsivo degli idoli precolombiani e crea un legame tra i meme di internet e le opere di maestri della pittura come Jan Vermeer o Leonardo da Vinci? La cultura contemporanea (di qualunque contemporaneità si parli) si è sempre sviluppata in un forte rapporto di dipendenza rispetto alla cultura precedente, a ciò che era già stato prodotto, studiato e pensato. Il famoso aforisma di Bernardo di Chartres attribuitogli dal suo allievo Giovanni di Salisbury ha una datazione ante quem che risale al 1159: “dicebat Bernardus Carnotensis nos esse quasi nanos gigantium humeris insidentes”. Siamo sempre stati, quindi, dei nani sulle spalle di giganti, ma ultimamente la situazione si è, se vogliamo, aggravata: adesso, grazie ai nuovi media e ai nuovi strumen-ti di riproduzione e diffusione di materiale culturale, non siamo solo in grado di scalare gli antichi giganti, ma anche di farli a pezzi, smontandoli uno per uno per ricombinarli in nuove fisionomie mostruose. La libera ricombinazione di materiale esistente, permessa dai nuovi media, dà vita a quell’insieme di pratiche di ricombinazioni che definiamo Remix. Nato sul finire degli anni Sessanta in ambito musicale, il Remix si è sviluppato come forma discorsiva, andandosi ad allargare ad ogni ambito culturale. Una volta che il Remix è stato compreso (nel senso di incorporato) dalla cultura, tocca a noi comprenderlo per poter capire in che modo esso ha infettato la società contemporanea. L’arte, come spesso accade, si rivela un punto di vista privilegiato, una lente che permette di individuare nodi cruciali dello sviluppo di quell'insieme di fenomeni che, a partire dagli anni Novanta, sono stati definiti Remix Culture.

description: We present a new method for assessing the intrinsic 3D shape of prestellar cores from molecular column densities. We have employed hydrodynamic simulations of contracting, isothermal cores considering three intrinsic geometries: spherical, cylindrical/filamentary and disk-like. We have coupled our hydrodynamic simulations with non-equilibrium chemistry. We find that a) when cores are observed very elongated (i.e. for aspect ratios $\le$ 0.15) the intrinsic 3D geometry can be probed by their 2D molecular emission maps, since these exhibit significant qualitative morphological differences between cylindrical and disk-like cores. Specifically, if a disk-like core is observed as a filamentary object in dust emission, then it will be observed as two parallel filaments in $\rm{N_2H^{+}}$; b) for cores with higher aspect ratios (i.e. 0.15 $\sim$ 0.9) we define a metric $Δ$ that quantifies whether a molecular column density profile is centrally peaked, depressed or flat. We have identified one molecule ($\rm{CN}$) for which $Δ$ as a function of the aspect ratio probes the 3D geometry of the core; and c) for cores with almost circular projections (i.e. for aspect ratios $\sim$ 1), we have identified three molecules ($\rm{OH}$, $\rm{CO}$ and $\rm{H_2CO}$) that can be used to probe the intrinsic 3D shape by close inspection of their molecular column density radial profiles. We alter the temperature and the cosmic-ray ionization rate and demonstrate that our method is robust against the choice of parameters.

description: Transient and recurrent solar activity drive geomagnetic disturbances; these are quantified (amongst others) by DST, AE indices time-series. Transient disturbances are related to the Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) while recurrent disturbances are related to corotating interaction regions (CIR). We study the relationship of the geomagnetic disturbances to the solar wind drivers within solar Cycle 23 where the drivers are represented by ICMEs and CIRs occurrence rate and compared to the DST and AE as follows: terms with common periodicity in both the geomagnetic disturbances and the solar drivers are, firstly, detected using continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Then, common power and phase coherence of these periodic terms are calculated from the cross-wavelet spectra (XWT) and waveletcoherence (WTC) respectively. In time-scales of about 27 days our results indicate an anti-correlation of the effects of ICMEs and CIRs on the geomagnetic disturbances. The former modulates the DST and AE time series during the cycle maximum the latter during periods of reduced solar activity. The phase relationship of these modulation is highly non-linear. Only the annual frequency component of the ICMEs is phase-locked with DST and AE. In time-scales of about 1.3-1.7 years the CIR seem to be the dominant driver for both geomagnetic indices throughout the whole solar cycle 23.

junction to form front surface field, aluminum paste firing process is applied for
aluminum doped p+ rear emitter. SiO2 passivation layer for front side is formed by

on 60 aluminum rear emitter solar cells. 268.1W output power of the module is
measured and there is no output power loss of the module after being put in field for

title: Should Banks Be Worried About Dividend Restrictions?
Creators: name: Schroth, Josef
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2023

description: Countercyclical bank capital requirements have emerged as a popular regulatory tool to help smooth financial cycles. The idea is to reduce capital requirements when exogenous shocks cause aggregate bank capital to decrease so that regulation does not needlessly constrain banks’ supply of credit. In the model in this paper, banks are rationally forward-looking and thus ignore short-lived reductions in capital requirements. During a financial crisis, a regulator would want to first impose drastic dividend restrictions to force banks to rebuild capital, but also would want to keep capital requirements low for a sufficiently long time afterwards. However, such a policy is not time-consistent. Once banks are sufficiently re-capitalized, the regulator would be tempted to immediately raise capital requirements all the way to pre-crisis levels. Optimal time-consistent capital regulation requires that bank capital is rebuilt gradually during financial crises. In particular, banks must be able to pay dividends even when bank equity is still significantly below pre-crisis levels.
description: Les exigences contracycliques de fonds propres bancaires sont devenues un outil réglementaire courant qui contribue à lisser les cycles financiers. L’objectif est de réduire les exigences de fonds propres quand des chocs exogènes entraînent une baisse du niveau des fonds propres bancaires agrégés pour éviter que la réglementation limite inutilement l’offre de crédit des banques. Dans le modèle du présent document de recherche, les banques ont une optique prospective et rationnelle et, en conséquence, font abstraction des réductions temporaires des exigences de fonds propres. Lors d’une crise financière, un organisme de réglementation souhaiterait tout d’abord imposer des restrictions sévères aux paiements de dividendes pour forcer les banques à reconstituer leurs réserves de fonds propres. Il voudrait aussi maintenir des exigences de fonds propres peu élevées durant une période assez longue par la suite. Cependant, une telle politique n’est pas cohérente dans le temps. Une fois les réserves de fonds propres bancaires reconstituées, l’organisme de réglementation serait tenté de ramener rapidement les exigences de fonds propres aux niveaux d’avant la crise. Pour être optimale et cohérente dans le temps, la réglementation doit exiger que la réserve de fonds propres soit reconstituée graduellement durant les crises financières. Plus particulièrement, les banques doivent être en mesure de payer des dividendes même quand leurs capitaux propres sont encore bien en dessous des niveaux d’avant la crise.

description: Based on density functional theory calculations, we elucidated the origin of multifunctional properties for cubic antiperovskites with noncollinear magnetic ground states, which can be attributed to strong isotropic and anisotropic magnetostructural coupling. 16 out of 54 stable magnetic antiperovskites M$_3$XZ (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; X = selected elements from Li to Bi except for noble gases and 4f rare-earth metals; and Z = C and N) are found to exhibit the $Γ_{4g}$/$Γ_{5g}$ (i.e., characterized by irreducible representations) antiferromagnetic magnetic configurations driven by frustrated exchange coupling and strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Using the magnetic deformation as an effective proxy, the isotropic magnetostructural coupling is characterized, and it is observed that the paramagnetic state is critical to understand the experimentally observed negative thermal expansion and to predict the magnetocaloric performance. Moreover, the piezomagnetic and piezospintronic effects induced by biaxial strain are investigated. It is revealed that there is not a strong correlation between the induced magnetization and anomalous Hall conductivities by the imposed strain. Interestingly, the anomalous Hall/Nernst conductivities can be significantly tailored by the applied strain due to the fine-tuning of the Weyl points energies, leading to promising spintronic applications.

description: We present a novel process scheme for emitter patterning for IBC-SHJ solar cells, employing laser based single step patterning of a dielectric hard mask, and self-alignment for further depositions. With the presented process sequence, we aim at developing a simple, lithography free and contactless emitter patterning method for industrial applications. Laser writing of the hard mask is performed using a picosecond laser operating at 355 nm to reduce the laser damage at the surface of the samples, which then allows for short damage etch durations. We demonstrate the feasibility of this process scheme for IBC-SHJ solar cells. Proof-of-concept cells on planar substrates show a short circuit current density of 33.2 mA/cm2, but still suffer from both low open circuit voltage and low fill factor, the latter being mainly due to a high series resistance. At the current stage of development, analysis of the etched contact groove reveals a rough surface in the overlap zone of the laser pulses, which very likely causes recombination and reduces both open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

description: For each integer $m \geq 2$, a network is constructed which is solvable over an alphabet of size $m$ but is not solvable over any smaller alphabets. If $m$ is composite, then the network has no vector linear solution over any $R$-module alphabet and is not asymptotically linear solvable over any finite-field alphabet. The network's capacity is shown to equal one, and when $m$ is composite, its linear capacity is shown to be bounded away from one for all finite-field alphabets.

description: The performance of solar cells fabricated on quasi-mono material, particularly from the central and
upper regions of a seeded-cast ingot, tends to be dominated by recombination due to dislocations. This paper
demonstrates the impact of these regions on both the effective lifetime of test structures as well as on the performance
of standard screen printed solar cells. Furthermore it is shown that through appropriate processing it is possible to
greatly reduce this impact. Specifically, incorporating advanced hydrogen passivation techniques results in a
substantial enhancement in the effective minority carrier lifetime, which is shown to directly translate to significant
improvements in final cell efficiency. Following hydrogenation, there appears minimal difference in quality between
the wafers with and without these dislocations.

description: Black-box AI induction methods such as deep reinforcement learning (DRL) are increasingly being used to find optimal policies for a given control task. Although policies represented using a black-box AI are capable of efficiently executing the underlying control task and achieving optimal closed-loop performance, the developed control rules are often complex and neither interpretable nor explainable. In this paper, we use a recently proposed nonlinear decision-tree (NLDT) approach to find a hierarchical set of control rules in an attempt to maximize the open-loop performance for approximating and explaining the pre-trained black-box DRL (oracle) agent using the labelled state-action dataset. Recent advances in nonlinear optimization approaches using evolutionary computation facilitates finding a hierarchical set of nonlinear control rules as a function of state variables using a computationally fast bilevel optimization procedure at each node of the proposed NLDT. Additionally, we propose a re-optimization procedure for enhancing closed-loop performance of an already derived NLDT. We evaluate our proposed methodologies (open and closed-loop NLDTs) on different control problems having multiple discrete actions. In all these problems our proposed approach is able to find relatively simple and interpretable rules involving one to four non-linear terms per rule, while simultaneously achieving on par closed-loop performance when compared to a trained black-box DRL agent. A post-processing approach for simplifying the NLDT is also suggested. The obtained results are inspiring as they suggest the replacement of complicated black-box DRL policies involving thousands of parameters (making them non-interpretable) with relatively simple interpretable policies. Results are encouraging and motivating to pursue further applications of proposed approach in solving more complex control tasks.

description: In this study, we developed a scattering Back Reflector (BR) using TiO2 nanoparticles(NPs)/SiO2
composite. The SiO2 binder was made from Perhydropolysilazane (PHPS), which changes into pure SiO2 by heat
treatment less than 450C. The composite BR showed more than 90% of absolute reflectance at near infrared region. A
liquid source SiO2 passivation layer, which shows high passivation property in N-type wafers, was inserted between a
substrate and the BR layer. Although heat treatment in BR deposit process degraded the effective lifetime, the composite
BR using Al coated TiO2 NPs maintained high effective lifetime.

description: We have investigated the complex dielectric and impedance properties of magnetoelectric compound Fe2TiO5 (FTO) as a function of temperature (T) and frequency (f) to understand the grain (G) and grain boundary (Gb) contributions to its dielectric response. The temperature and frequency dependent dielectric permittivity data shows a sharp increase in permittivity above 200K accompanied with a frequency dependent peak in loss. At T less than 175K, only G contribution dominates even at lower frequency (nearly 100Hz), but for T greater than 175K, the Gb contribution starts appearing at low frequency. The value of critical frequency distinguishing these two contributions increases with increasing temperature. The observed non-Debye dielectric relaxation follows thermally activated process and is attributed to polaron hopping. Further the frequency dependence of ac conductivity follows the Jonscher power-law. The temperature dependency of critical exponent s shows that the correlated barrier hopping model is appropriate to define the conductivity mechanism of FTO in the studied temperature regime.

description: In recent deep image compression neural networks, the entropy model plays a critical role in estimating the prior distribution of deep image encodings. Existing methods combine hyperprior with local context in the entropy estimation function. This greatly limits their performance due to the absence of a global vision. In this work, we propose a novel Global Reference Model for image compression to effectively leverage both the local and the global context information, leading to an enhanced compression rate. The proposed method scans decoded latents and then finds the most relevant latent to assist the distribution estimating of the current latent. A by-product of this work is the innovation of a mean-shifting GDN module that further improves the performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the rate-distortion performance of most of the state-of-the-art methods in the industry.
