description: Single crystals of CuInS2 were studied by reflectance (RF) and photoluminescence (PL) at 4.2 K in magnetic fields up to 10 T. The diamagnetic energy shifts observed for the free excitonic lines in both the RF and PL spectra were used to calculate the reduced masses (0.143m0, 0.114m0 and 0.134m0), binding energies (18.6 meV, 18.4meV and 14.9 meV), Bohr radii (3.8, 3.8 and 4.7 nm) and hole effective masses (1.23m0, 1.31m0 and 0.40m0) for the ALPB, AUPB and BC excitons, respectively, using a low-field perturbation approach.

description: This study investigates how blurred governance in family firms enables and constrains individual moral agency. Adopting a critical realist lens, this thesis reports on a case study of a large, family-owned technology business. Drawing on 48 days of fieldwork, this thesis employed qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. This thesis contributes to family business ethics by extending a spectrum of moral agency as individuals addressed their moral concerns. It also advances critical realist organisational research by exploring the generative mechanisms that affect individual moral agency and the conditions under which they may lead to experiences of enablement and constraint.

Experimental analysis of asset markets, workplace tournaments and crime deterrence
Creators: name: BAO, ZHENGYANG
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Experimental economics

description: This thesis uses the experimental methodology to understand three important topics in economics and finance. In the first chapter, we explore the trading of assets without positive fundamental values and find that these assets are prone to larger bubbles than assets with positive fundamental values. In the second chapter, we study a complementary safeguard which guarantees a higher minimum wage. Contrary to our conjecture, such a safeguard does not decrease the gender gap in wages but increases it. In the final chapter, we develop a novel mechanism to utilize insider information to apprehend the most guilty criminal in the crime network and enhance deterrence. The experimental data confirm that the new mechanism is more effective compared to the random audit mechanism, but is less effective than the Nash equilibrium predicts.

description: Partitioning of red blood cells (RBCs) at the level of bifurcations in the microcirculatory system affects many physiological functions yet it remains poorly understood. We address this problem by using T-shaped microfluidic bifurcations as a model. Our computer simulations and in vitro experiments reveal that the hematocrit ($ϕ_0$) partition depends strongly on RBC deformability, as long as $ϕ_0 <20$% (within the normal range in microcirculation), and can even lead to complete deprivation of RBCs in a child branch. Furthermore, we discover a deviation from the Zweifach-Fung effect which states that the child branch with lower flow rate recruits less RBCs than the higher flow rate child branch. At small enough $ϕ_0$, we get the inverse scenario, and the hematocrit in the lower flow rate child branch is even higher than in the parent vessel. We explain this result by an intricate up-stream RBC organization and we highlight the extreme dependence of RBC transport on geometrical and cell mechanical properties. These parameters can lead to unexpected behaviors with consequences on the microcirculatory function and oxygen delivery in healthy and pathological conditions.

description: The transient photoconductivity of cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films prepared by chemical bath deposition has been studied. CdS films were deposited on soda lime glass and oxidized silicon (Si). Measurements made in air showed that the photoconductivity magnitude and fast time constants’ behaviors were similar for films deposited on both types of substrates at and below an air annealing temperature of 400 ºC. A decrease in magnitude and time constant in the CBD CdS on soda lime glass annealed at 500 ºC which was not observed for the oxidized Si sample is believed to be due to elemental inter-diffusion between the substrate and the CdS film. Work was also done to achieve extremely low CdS film sheet resistance under illuminated conditions and high photosensitivity. It has been found that the sheet resistance depends strongly on the deposition temperature (T), the stir rate (S), and the number of depositions (n).

FeAs$_2$ formation and electronic nematic ordering: Analysis in terms of structural transformations

description: By combining DFT-based computational analysis and symmetry constraints in terms of group-subgroup relations, we analysed the formation of the native crystalline structure of loellingite FeAs$_2$. We showed that the ground state of the material exhibits the ordered patterns of the electronic localization which are mainly associated with iron $3d_{x^2 - y^2}$ orbitals and can be characterized in terms of nematic-like ordering. The ordering is the result of the close interplay of the lattice and the electron degrees of freedom. In a structural aspect, it pursues an energy quest to select the orthorhombic crystal lattice attributed to the Pnnm space group. In a charge aspect, the ordering is connected with the valence charge density redistribution that not only provides a high electronic polarizability but also gives rise to an extra-large magnitude of the negative component of the dynamical p-d charge transfer.

Influence of Inelastic Collisions with Hydrogen Atoms on the Formation of Al I and Si I Lines in Stellar Spectra

description: The non-LTE line formation for Al I and Si I was calculated with model atmospheres corresponding to F-G-K type stars of different metallicity. To account for inelastic collisions with H I, for the first time we applied the cross sections calculated by Belyaev et al. using model approaches within the formalism of the Born-Oppenheimer quantum theory. For Al I non-LTE leads to overionization in the line formation layers and to weakened spectral lines, in line with earlier non-LTE studies. However, in contrast to the previuos studies, our results predict smaller magnitude of the non-LTE effects for the subordinate lines. Owing to large cross sections, the ion-pair production and mutual neutralization processes Al I(nl) + H I(1s) $\leftrightarrow$ Al~II(3s^2) + H^- provide a close coupling of high-excitation Al I levels to the Al II ground state, which causes smaller deviations from the TE populations compared to the case of pure electron collisions. For three metal-poor stars, the Al abundance was determined from seven lines in different models of their formation. In LTE and in non-LTE calculations with pure electron collisions, the Al I 3961 A resonance line gives a 0.25-0.45 dex lower abundance than the mean from the subordinate lines. The difference is removed by accounting for the collisions with H I, and the rms error of the abundance from all seven lines decreases by a factor of 1.5-3 compared to LTE. We calculated the non-LTE abundance corrections for six Al I lines depending on Teff (4500-6500 K), log g (3.0-4.5), and [Fe/H] (0, -1, -2, -3). For Si I including the collisions with H I leads to TE populations in the line formation layers and to minor departures from LTE in spectral lines.

description: The photovoltaic industry is a fast and continuously growing market. Besides the nowadays wide spread
conventional silicon solar modules (mainly mono- and polycrystalline silicon m-Si and p-Si) thin film technologies
are increasing. A market share of about 20%-22% for thin film solar modules is forecasted for the year 2020.
At LBP-GaBi a LCA study is currently performed considering the whole life cycle of CdTe PV modules, in order to
evaluate its environmental profile and impacts. Using actual and recent industrial data provided by industry, the study
present representative LCA result of a CdTe PV module. Within this study a detailed LCA model of the product life
cycle is build up which enables the quantification of potential environmental impacts and the identification of main
key drivers. Also different region specific use phase scenarios are addressed.
In addition to the LCA study a MFA for cadmium within EU27 is carried out, to evaluate the future availability of
cadmium for CdTe PV modules.
The paper presents latest LCA results of CdTe modules and the MFA study of cadmium in EU27.

description: The high demand for large lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries is mainly driven by applications with long
system life times such as photovoltaic (PV) systems with integrated battery storage and electrification of
automotive applications. In order to generate reliable life cycle cost (LCC) estimations long term simulations are
necessary. To increase simulation speed the general approach for long term simulations is to simplify the
simulation models e.g. by reducing the model dynamics. In this paper the simulation error made by model
simplification will be analyzed and the effect on LCC estimations will be discussed qualitatively. Finally
requirements for the model dynamics, in particular the battery model and the converter model, are discussed. The
example of the PV-battery system developed within the Franco-German Sol-ion project will be used for
consideration.

description: The energy production assessment is particularly critical in order to estimate the pay-back period and
profitability index of an investment in the case of the PV system installations. The usual equations for energy
prediction are not so accurate because they are empirical and depend strongly on the correct evaluation of the
performance ratio and on the distance between the PV system and the town chosen in the meteorological database.
Therefore, a different validation method of energy production is used, based on one day measurements for the PV
array as well as for the inverter, and on updated meteorological data processing. Subsequently, this paper focuses on
practical cases of PV systems from few kWp to a few MWp. The experimental results show a comprehensive
assessment of energy production and a comparison among different configurations of PV plants, which differ for cell
technology, kind of roof installation and inverter layout. Concerning the economic analysis, performed with wide
range of installation costs (2600-4400 €/kWp) for representing the most of application cases, the payback times (6-10
years) and profitability indexes (90-220%) have been resulted very interesting, in the presence of 2010 Italian feed-in

description: Non-invasive functional imaging of molecular and cellular processes of vision is expected to have immense impact on research and clinical diagnostics. Although suitable intrinsic optical signals (IOS) have been observed ex vivo and in immobilized animals in vivo, it was so far not possible to obtain convincing IOS of photoreceptor activity in humans in vivo. Here, we observed spatially and temporally clearly resolved changes in the optical path length of the photoreceptor outer segment as response to an optical stimulus in living human. To obtain these changes, we evaluated phase data of a parallelized and computationally aberration-corrected optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. The non-invasive detection of optical path length changes shows the neuronal photoreceptor activity of single cones in living human retina, and, more importantly, it provides a new diagnostic option in ophthalmology and neurology and could give new insights into visual phototransduction in humans.

description: The aim of this paper is to prompt a discussion on current power rating standards for PV technologies.
The premise taken is that a fundamental purpose of a power rating is to provide a potential off-taker with a quick yet
meaningful comparison of the performance of different competing PV technologies and of different products within a
technology; a second resulting role is to define the benchmark by which the $/W price is assessed, which is the starting
point of any project cost analysis activity. In addition, as our industry matures and will be increasingly led to compete
with other energy technologies, consistency and clarity in our ratings will become increasingly important.
In parallel, PV and CPV technologies have complex behavior in real and diverse environmental conditions that are
challenging to represent in a single rating standard, and that have contributed to the proliferation of rating standards that
we have today. It is important to understand and be able to model this behavior to enable the more precise output
calculations needed for example for detailed site design and performance guarantees.
These conflicting needs lead the authors to conclude that to support the growth of a mature solar PV and CPV industry
increasingly able to compete with other power production technologies a separation is required between representative
standards for outward estimates and communication, and the detailed technical specifications needed to enable site design
and provide performance guarantees. We recommend that an effort be undertaken by the industry to reduce the number
of standards and identify approaches that can allow the different PV technologies to be rated using the same set of
standards while achieving representative performance results.

description: Many computational and mathematical models have been developed and used in the past in order to
estimate the power and energy output of different photovoltaic (PV) technologies, particularly crystalline ones. The
purpose of this paper is to investigate and compare the predictions of four models namely the single-point efficiency,
single-point efficiency with temperature correction, the Photovoltaic for Utility-Scale Applications (PVUSA) and the
one-diode model, against outdoor measurements for 13 different technology grid-connected PV systems in Cyprus
and Germany. For the installed systems in Cyprus it was clearly shown that the application of temperature loss
correction assisted in improving the DC annual energy yield prediction significantly. The same improvement was not
as evident for the installed systems at the cooler climate of Stuttgart, Germany. In most cases and for both locations,
the best agreement between the modelled results and outdoor data for mono-crystalline and multi-crystalline
technologies was obtained by the one-diode model. The power output and energy yield for the thin-film technologies
in Cyprus were more accurately predicted with the PVUSA model.

depends on the purity of the interface between the emitter surface and the SiN3:H passivation layer. To avoid
undesired charge recombination and thus a decreasing of the cell efficiency, a surface cleaning technology applicable
for inline solar cell fabrication will be presented. Depending on the amount of impurities on the emitter surface a gain
in solar cell efficiency of up to 0,4% was achieved by inline plasma pre processing before PE CVD Silicon nitride
deposition. Both, plasma cleaning and SiN3:H deposition were performed in a Roth & Rau MAiA® inline tool.

description: The necessity of cost-reduction for solar generated electricity has evidenced photovoltaic concentrators as
promising technology for the PV industry. One of the most fundamental steps in the fabrication process of high efficiency c-
Si solar cells designed for concentrating systems is the realization of a good passivation oxide on the silicon surface. In this
work we investigate the properties of rapid thermal oxide (RTO) to be used as an alternative passivation layer to the more
expensive classical thermal oxide which has been used until now. The effects of rapid thermal annealing in forming gas (RTA
in FG) have also been tested. The investigation of the electrical properties of the silicon/oxide interface to get informations
about the oxide passivation quality has been done through capacitance-voltage (CV) and capacitance-frequency (CF)
characterization of some “ad hoc” realized MOS structures.

description: The Solar Energy Group (GES) of the Argentine National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA)
performs research and development activities related with photovoltaic solar energy conversion for space and
terrestrial applications. From 2007, the GES is working in the development of the solar array for Aquarius/SACD
mission through a contract signed between CNEA and CONAE. This mission is a joint venture between
NASA, from the the US, and the Argentine National Commission for Space Activities (CONAE), The fabrication
of Aquarius/SAC-D solar array began in 2008, and nowadays is finished. Almost 3000 CIC (Covered
Interconnected Cell) based on triple junction InGaP-GaAs-Ge solar cells were assembled and electrically
characterised under normalised conditions. In this report, a statistical analysis of the electrical parameters of CIC
assemblies compared to those of the bare cells provided by the cell supplier is presented. Fill Factor was specially
considered since it seems to be a good parameter to reveal minor degradation of the electrical characteristics
differences in cell integration. This analysis showed to be an interesting tool for monitoring the integration
process and also for checking the reliability of the measurement procedure.

description: The next generation BLAST experiment (BLAST-TNG) is a suborbital balloon payload that seeks to map polarized dust emission in the 250 $μ$m, 350 $μ$m and 500 $μ$m wavebands. The instrument utilizes a stepped half-wave plate to reduce systematics. The general requirement of the detectors is that they are photon-noise-limited and dual-polarization sensitive. To achieve this goal, we are developing three monolithic arrays of cryogenic sensors, one for each waveband. Each array is feedhorn-coupled and each spatial pixel consists of two orthogonally spaced polarization-sensitive microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) fabricated from a Ti/TiN multilayer film. In previous work, we demonstrated photon-noise-limited sensitivity in 250 $μ$m waveband single polarization devices. In this work, we present the first results of dual-polarization sensitive MKIDs at 250 $μ$m.

description: Ο σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν διττός, να εξετάσει, δηλαδή, τη διγλωσσία ερευνώντας, παράλληλα, τις στρατηγικές μάθησης της «μητρικής τους γλώσσας» που εφαρμόζουν οι οικογένειες πρώτης μεταναστευτικής γενιάς, καθώς και τις αντιλήψεις τους απέναντι στη γλώσσα. Συμμετέχοντες/ουσες στην έρευνα ήταν δεκαεπτά ενήλικα δίγλωσσα άτομα, απόγονοι μεταναστών γονέων με χώρα υποδοχής την Ελλάδα. Ακόμη, μετά την αξιοποίηση των γενικών αρχών της κριτικής ανάλυσης του λόγου για τη θεωρητική υποστήριξη της διγλωσσίας με τα επιμέρους κεφάλαια, μελετήθηκαν μέσω συνεντεύξεων μεμονωμένες περιπτώσεις δίγλωσσων ενηλίκων που ζουν στην Ελλάδα. Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων της έρευνας ανέδειξε μια αλυσίδα θέσεων και στάσεων τόσο των ίδιων των συνεντευξιαζόμενων όσο και των οικογενειών τους απέναντι στον ρόλο και την αξία της διγλωσσίας στην ζωή τους, τις στρατηγικές γλωσσικής πολιτικής που υιοθετούν και τον αντίκτυπο των τελευταίων στην ψυχοσωματική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών, σημερινών συνεντευξιαζόμενων.
description: The aim of the study was twofold, i.e. to examine bilingualism while investigating the strategies of learning their "mother tongue" that first generation immigrant families apply, as well as their perceptions towards language. Seventeen adult bilinguals, descendants of immigrant parents with Greece as their host country, participated in the study. Furthermore, after utilizing the general principles of critical discourse analysis to theorize bilingualism with the individual chapters, individual cases of bilingual adults living in Greece were studied through interviews. The analysis of the research results revealed a chain of positions and attitudes of both the interviewees themselves and their families towards the role and value of bilingualism in their lives, the language policy strategies they adopt and the impact of the latter on the psychosomatic development of their children, current interviewees.

description: Transparent electrodes of Fluorine doped Indium Oxide (IFO), Tin doped Indium Oxide (ITO), Indium
doped Zinc Oxide (IZO) and Antimony doped Tin Oxide (ATO) films were deposited by pyrosol method on (pp+)Cz-
Si structure. Bifacial IFO/(pp+)Cz-Si/IZO, IFO/(pp+) Cz-Si/ITO, IFO/(pp+)Cz-Si/ATO as well as monofacial
IFO/(pp+)Cz-Si/InGa heterojunction solar cells were prepared using current collecting grid made of wire according to
Laminated Grid Cell (LGCell) design. Monofacial LGCell showed the efficiency of 17.8%, as well as the front/rear
efficiency of 17.2%/12.1% was obtained for bifacial IFO/(pp+)Cz-Si/IZO LGCell. Among the examined IZO, ITO
and ATO films deposited by pyrosol method, the IZO film is superior as a rear transparent electrode to the boron
doped p+-Si layer in bifacial solar cells made of p-type crystalline silicon, due to, first of all, the superior passivation
of the rear p+-Si layer. The ATO film demonstrated the worst passivation as well as a high resistance of the ATO/p+-
Si contact.

description: Using synchrotron-radiation photoemission, we have studied the electronic properties of rubene: C60
heterojunctions. The photoelectron spectra show that the charge transfer from rubrene to C60 at both interfaces,
C60/rubrene and rubrene/C60, results in the formation of an interfacial dipole. The interfacial electronic structures in
both cases are not symmetric and influenced by the deposition sequence. A stronger interaction occurred in the
C60/rubrene case illustrated by the split of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of rubrene and the
appearance of a gap state leads to a larger dipole potential. The energy-level diagrams show that a considerable
increase of ~0.3 eV in the separation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of C60 and the
HOMO of rubrene at the C60/rubrene interface compared to the rubrene/C60 interface points to the sequence of C60
deposited on rubrene to be favorable for photovoltaic devices.

description: NIKA2 (New IRAM KID Array 2) is a camera dedicated to millimeter wave astronomy based upon kilopixel arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID). The pathfinder instrument, NIKA, has already shown state-of-the-art detector performance. NIKA2 builds upon this experience but goes one step further, increasing the total pixel count by a factor $\sim$10 while maintaining the same per pixel performance. For the next decade, this camera will be the resident photometric instrument of the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimetrique (IRAM) 30m telescope in Sierra Nevada (Spain). In this paper we give an overview of the main components of NIKA2, and describe the achieved detector performance. The camera has been permanently installed at the IRAM 30m telescope in October 2015. It will be made accessible to the scientific community at the end of 2016, after a one-year commissioning period. When this happens, NIKA2 will become a fundamental tool for astronomers worldwide.
