description: Thin film solar cells based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) yield, up to now, a maximum photovoltaic
conversion efficiency if CdS deposited by chemical bath deposition is used as buffer layer. However, due to the
disadvantages of CdS (like the toxicity classification of Cd, the non-vacuum nature of the chemical bath deposition
and the absorption of blue light) an extensive research was employed in the last years on finding new alternative
buffer layers. Thereby, the aim of this work follows the technical progress of the research which focuses on the
development of Cd-free buffer layers for chalcogenide photovoltaics. Zinc tin oxide, (Zn2SnO4) and indium sulfide
(InxSy) thin films were evaluated as alternative buffer layer for chalcogenide-based PV. The investigated thin films
buffer layer have been deposited both on soda lime glass substrates and on Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2, in order to prepare the
solar cells, by using r.f. sputtering. Some of the technological problems of the Cd-free buffer layers like the influence
of the growth conditions, homogeneity, short deposition times, and post thermal treatments are investigated. The
performances of the CIGS-based solar cells fabricated using ZTO and InxSy as buffer layers were compared to the
standard CdS solar cells deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD). Since the alternative buffer layers allowed
more or less half of the efficiency reached using CBD-CdS further optimizations of the investigated buffer layers are
currently in progress.

description: Binary In2S3 thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD) using an aqueous solution containing low concentration of InCl3 (0.01 M), thioacetamide (TA) and citric acid as complexing agent.
The effect of annealing under sulphur atmosphere on the structural, morphological and optical properties of these films was investigated. X-ray diffraction characterizations reveal that the as-deposited films are amorphous and the formation of -In2S3 phase after annealing under sulphur pressure at temperature 693 K. The EDS analyzes reveal that the films composition dependent on TA concentration in the solution, the nearly stoichiometric compound was obtained with concentrations: 0.01 M lnCl3, 0.2 M TA and 0.1 M citric acid. Optical transmissions show high transmission rate for 0.2 M TA and decrease by increasing TA in solution. The optical band gap values of these films varied between 2.8 and 2.9 eV as function of TA concentration and refraction index is in order of 2.64.

description: In this work, ZnO and ZnO :Al thin films have been successfully deposited onto substrates films using
two simple and cost effective growth techniques: electrodeposition and successive ionic layer adsorption reaction
(SILLAR) methods. The morphology as well as the optical properties of the films was studied by using scanning
electron microscope (SEM) and optical transmittance spectroscopy. The deposited films show hexagonal Zincite
structure and a high transmittance up to 85% in the near infrared and part of the visible region. The results reveal that
the method of growth have a significant influence on the morphology and the structurale properties of films
deposited. In addition, the optical and structural properties of the deposited films were found to depend on the
deposition parameters and post treatments.

description: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) Single crystals have been produced within a sealed quartz ampoule via molten salt technique using CsCl as the molten flux. The synthesized crystals have been analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) for compositional and structural characterizations. XRD patterns and Raman spectra showed that the CZTS crystals exhibit pure kesterite phase with (112) preferred orientation. EDS spectroscopy studies revealed that the atomic ratio of the four elements of Cu, Zn, Sn and S is 25.26:12.44:11.37:48.33, which is very close to the Cu2ZnSnS4 stoichiometric ratio of 2:1:1:4. Photoluminescence measurements have been performed on the crystals, and the analysis revealed that the emission is mainly due to donor-acceptor pair transitions. The optical and electrical properties of the single crystals have been analyzed by UV−Vis Spectra and I\V measurements. The synthesized crystals have suitable properties and are useful for further solar absorber.
Comedic Sarcasm: Meaning Generation by Second Audience Teens

description: In an increasingly globalised media landscape, comedic sarcasm in media encodings faces decoding obstacles by a secondary audience in ways perhaps unintended by the original primary audience encoding. Drawing upon Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding paradigm of media and communications, this thesis adds to knowledge in cross-cultural media reception, specifically focusing on two British television texts as a medium of message dissemination to determine factors that interfere with decoding. Using a qualitative approach drawing from Hall’s encoding and decoding paradigm of media and communication (1980), the study acknowledges a Gadamer-inspired hermeneutic data gathering approach (1960), alongside Gibbs’ social norm model of message understanding (1986) to offer insight into this subset of cross-cultural communications. Selected extracts from episodes of the BBC television series Blackadder and Waiting for God are employed in focus group settings with a specific secondary audience—adolescents in the Republic of Korea in an international school setting, chosen due to the limited data pertaining to the group. The literature review spans multiple fields including sociology, cognitive development, linguistics, and television/audience studies to inform possible encoding and decoding obstacles with a representative secondary audience, providing lenses through which to perform a narrative-style thematic analysis of findings. The resulting interdisciplinary findings offered insight into two areas: first, knowledge surrounding how, why, and to what effect participants successfully decoded British sarcasm. Second and conversely, results evaluate how, why, and to what effect participants encountered decoding issues, divided into three primary aspects: inexperience with culture and context; deficiencies in language and understanding of speech; and an over-reliance on decoding through visual language. Secondary decoding issues that emerged include gender bias and age limitations, critical thinking obstacles, and laugh track interference. The project’s findings primarily impact the field of media and communications.

description: Using samples obtained from Bridgman crystalline ingots, grown from melts of composition CuInSe2+x plus either atomic proportions of elemental sodium [Na] or molecular proportions of disodium selenide [Na2Se], XPS measurements were made to determine the distribution and location of the sodium. Here, the added [Na] in the melt ranged from 0 to 6 %, the [Na2Se] from 0 to 2 % and x ranged from 0 to 0.2. It was found that the added Na located itself in a surface layer about 0.1 μm thick in the main part of the ingot and in a more extended way in its last–zone-to-freeze. No Na was detected in the interior of the ingot. For material, with and without added Na, copper was found to be depleted at the surface, with a lower proportion there than that deep in the bulk. However, this surface lowering of Cu was accentuated with increased added Na up to about 1 at. %, which also increased the surface [Se] proportion, at least for bulk p-type material. The observed increased [Se]/[Cu] ratio at the surface generally supports the theory of the formation of a thin ternary compound at this location, with a high [Se] to [Cu] proportion, accentuated by sodium presence.

description: Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) investigations of modulated states in a FeGe wedge and detailed calculations demonstrate that chiral twists arising near the surfaces of noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets (Meynell et al. Phys. Rev. B, 90, 014406 (2014)) provide a stabilization mechanism for skyrmion lattices and helicoids in cubic helimagnet nanolayers. The calculated magnetic phase diagram for free standing cubic helimagnet nanolayers shows that magnetization processes in these compounds fundamentally differ from those in bulk cubic helimagnets and are characterized by the first-order transitions between modulated phases and the formation of specific multidomain states. The paper reports LTEM observations of multidomain patterns in FeGe free-standing nanolayers.

paper different structuring methods are compared on their quality behaviour at the example of CIGS solar cell

to prevent electrical shortcuts. Direct structuring with different energy distribution is compared with laser induced
lift-processes.
Optimal Thrust Level for Orbit Insertion

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: The minimum-fuel orbital transfer is analyzed in the case of a launcher upper stage using a constantly thrusting engine. The thrust level is assumed to be constant and its value is optimized together with the thrust direction. A closed-loop solution for the thrust direction is derived from the extremal analysis for a planar orbital transfer. The optimal control problem reduces to two unknowns, namely the thrust level and the final time. Guessing and propagating the costates is no longer necessary and the optimal trajectory is easily found from a rough initialization. On the other hand the initial costates are assessed analytically from the initial conditions and they can be used as initial guess for transfers at different thrust levels. The method is exemplified on a launcher upper stage targeting a geostationary transfer orbit.

description: We report on coherent propagation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin waves over a long distance ($\sim$10 $μ$m) at room temperature in a canted AFM $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Unprecedented high group velocities (up to 22.5 km/s) are characterized by microwave transmission using all-electrical spin wave spectroscopy. We derive analytically AFM spin-wave dispersion in the presence of the DMI which accounts for our experimental results. The AFM spin waves excited by nanometric coplanar waveguides with large wavevectors enter the exchange regime and follow a quasi-linear dispersion relation. Fitting of experimental data with our theoretical model yields an AFM exchange stiffness length of 1.7 angstrom. Our results provide key insights on AFM spin dynamics and demonstrate high-speed functionality for AFM magnonics.

description: This paper presents a novel framework which combines a non-iterative solution of Real-Time Nonlinear Receding Horizon Control (NRHC) methodology to achieve consensus within complex network topologies with existing time-delays and in presence of switching topologies. In this formulation, we solve the distributed nonlinear optimization problem for multi-agent network systems directly, \emph{in real-time}, without any dependency on iterative processes, where the stability and convergence guarantees are provided for the solution. Three benchmark examples on non-linear chaotic systems provide validated results which demonstrate the significant outcomes of such methodology.

description: A series of CdTe thin film solar cells were prepared on CSS-deposited CdS-/CdTe-substrates (100 ×
100 mm2) by partly applying a standard reference process and partly introducing an additional thermal annealing step
at 250 °C or 300 °C for 20/40 min at ambient conditions after the activation treatment. The remaining process steps
for the generation of solar cells have not been varied and activation-temperature and -duration were kept constant
with 400 °C/25 min. The back contact comprised an etching step with a nitric-/phosphoric-acid solution followed by
deposition of 150 nm of gold. In contrast to standard processed solar cells, the cells gained from additional thermal
annealing treatment gave significantly improved performance with better current-voltage values; quantumefficiencies
– however – remained well comparable to standard processed cells.

deposition of Cu2SnS3 (CTS) and ZnS thin films prepared using a solution-based chemical route, where the CTS
compound is prepared using a novel procedure consisting of simultaneous precipitation of Cu2S and SnS2
performed by diffusion membranes assisted CBD technique and ZnS by conventional CBD technique. As the
conditions in terms of concentration of metal species, sulphide anion and temperature required for the formation
of the Cu2SnS3 compound have not yet been reported by other authors, in this paper we propose a way to achieve
these, through a study of the chemical equilibrium of the system SnCl2, Na3C6H5O7·2H2O, CuCl2 and
Na2S2O3·5H2O. These conditions were obtained solving the equilibrium equations with the help of the Visual
MINTEQ 3.0 package, supported on the program MINTEQA2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy
measurements were used to confirm the formation of the Cu2ZnSnS4 phase.

description: The radiative cooling of shocked gas with primordial chemical composition is an important process relevant to the formation of the first stars and structures, as well as taking place also in high velocity cloud collisions and supernovae explosions. Among the different processes that need to be considered, the formation kinetics and cooling of molecular hydrogen are of prime interest, since they provide the only way to lower the gas temperature to values well below $\sim$10$^4$~K. In previous works, the internal energy level structure of H$_2$ and its cation has been treated in the approximation of rovibrational ground state at low densities, or trying to describe the dynamics using some arbitrary $v>0$ H$_2$ level that is considered representative of the excited vibrational manifold. In this study, we compute the vibrationally resolved kinetics for the time-dependent chemical and thermal evolution of the post-shock gas in a medium of primordial composition. The calculated non-equilibrium distributions are used to evaluate effects on the cooling function of the gas and on the cooling time. Finally, we discuss the dependence of the results to different initial values of the shock velocity and redshift.

description: Computational social scientists often harness the Web as a "societal observatory" where data about human social behavior is collected. This data enables novel investigations of psychological, anthropological and sociological research questions. However, in the absence of demographic information, such as gender, many relevant research questions cannot be addressed. To tackle this problem, researchers often rely on automated methods to infer gender from name information provided on the web. However, little is known about the accuracy of existing gender-detection methods and how biased they are against certain sub-populations. In this paper, we address this question by systematically comparing several gender detection methods on a random sample of scientists for whom we know their full name, their gender and the country of their workplace. We further suggest a novel method that employs web-based image retrieval and gender recognition in facial images in order to augment name-based approaches. Our findings show that the performance of name-based gender detection approaches can be biased towards countries of origin and such biases can be reduced by combining name-based an image-based gender detection methods.

In dieser Untersuchung wird ebenfalls hervorgehoben, dass Spektakel und Inhalt kein Widerspruch sein müssen und die Mittel des Spektakels (Kostüme, Ausstattung, Musik etc.) durchaus mit Bedeutungen aufgeladen sein können. Durch die Erfahrung des Spektakels kann das Publikum zwischen dem Eintauchen in eine Illusion und dem Entschlüsseln von Symbolen wechseln. Gleichzeitig können dabei heutige Geschichten erzählt und aktuelle Themen unserer Gesellschaft im historischen Gewand behandelt werden.
description: The main objective of this thesis is to explore, with the help of a cinematic analysis of the respective mise-en-scene and anachronistic music or elements, how historical characters and figures in the films The Great Gatsby and Marie Antoinette are portrayed through the use of opulent and modern visual aesthetics. The examination of selected cinematic sequences in this thesis illustrates how spectacle can be used as a narrative device and that cinematic spectacle does not mask the action, but serves to further enhance it or even create stronger contrasts. This study also emphasizes that spectacle and content need not be contradictory and that the means of spectacle (costumes, sets, music, etc.) can indeed be charged with meanings. Through the experience of the spectacle, the audience can alternate between immersing themselves in an illusion and decoding symbols. At the same time, today's stories can be told and current topics in our society can be dealt with in a historical context.

integration into the energy grid. Even though crystalline silicon based modules have a bigger presence on
photovoltaic installations, thin film technologies are getting more market share. The effect of varying spectrum is not
always taken into account but several studies indicates that spectrum effect should not be obviated in thin film
technologies, especially those with narrower spectral response, as happens for amorphous silicon technologies. A new
method to show the performance ratio of thin film modules having into account the spectrum is developed in this
work by clustering all the spectra into a few groups. For this characterization, both, statistical and data mining
techniques have been used to cluster all spectra in groups by means of its APE value. Afterwards a depiction using
contour graphs of modules PR indexed by clearness index and module temperature has been carried out in every one
of the APE clusters. The data used have been registered in the Photovoltaic Laboratory of the University of Malaga
for more than one year in order to take into account seasonal effects that could occur.

description: In order to decrease the thickness of the close-spaced sublimation (CSS) deposited CdTe film, a novel
approach has been used. On top of the CSS-deposited CdTe film, whose thickness was reduced from 6-8 μm to
3-4 μm, another CdTe layer was deposited by RF sputtering, with a thickness of 100-200 nm. The purpose of this
approach was that of filling up the voids, which form when a low thickness CdTe film is deposited by CSS.
Surprisingly we observed that solar cells prepared with this CdTe bi-layer exhibit efficiencies higher than 14%. Since
the sputtered CdTe layer is n-type, while the CSS-deposited one is p-type, we thought to explain these results by
supposing the formation of local p-n junctions at the grain boundaries, which repel the minority carriers in the grains,
increasing their lifetime. This approach permitted to reduce the thickness of CdTe films without affecting the cell
efficiency. A further improvement in processing CdTe/CdS solar cells has been obtained by making the CdTe
treatment in presence of Chlorine with the use of Ar containing 4% HCl mixed with a gas containing Fluorine, such
as CHF3 or C2H2F4.

description: Analysis methodology of the uniformity on a-Si based triple-junction thin film solar module for power
station or building integrated photovoltaic was developed by using circuit model parameters. For this study, a-Si
based triple-junction thin film solar module with a size of 5G, 1300Х1100[mm], was fabricated and cut to a size of
100x100[mm]. Nine samples which could represent module’s uniformity were selected and dark I-V characteristics
of each sample were measured. A circuit modeling that is appropriate to characteristics of a triple-junction solar
module was proposed. One position sample was selected and simulated. For one case of sample, main parameters for
proposed circuit modeling such as ideality factors and reverse saturation currents were extracted from dark IV curve
and resistance parameters were extracted by numerical method. The circuit modeling with extracted parameters was
simulated by using Hspice and was the good agreement between experimental and simulation results. Distribution of
each parameter for nine samples was analyzed.

Optmized stability of a modulated driver in a plasma wakefield accelerator

description: We analyze the transverse stability for a configuration of multiple gaussian bunches subject to the self-generated plasma wakefield. Through a semi-analytical approach we first study the equilibrium configuration for the modulated beam and then we investigate the evolution of the equilibrium configuration due to the emittance-driven expansion of the beam front that results in a rigid backward shift. The rear-directed shift brings the modulated beam out of the equilibrium, with the possibility for some of the bunch particles to be lost with a consequent deterioration of the driver. We look therefore for the proper position of the single bunches that maximize the stability without severely affecting the accelerating field behind the driver. We then compare the results with 3D PIC simulations.
Phase structure of linear quiver gauge theories from anomaly matching

description: We consider the phase structure of the linear quiver gauge theory, using the 't Hooft anomaly matching condition. This theory is characterized by the length $K$ of the quiver diagram. When $K$ is even, the symmetry and its anomaly are the same as those of massless QCD. Therefore, one can expect that the spontaneous symmetry breaking similar to the chiral symmetry breaking occurs. On the other hand, when $K$ is odd, the anomaly matching condition is satisfied by the massless composite fermions. We also consider the thermal partition function under the twisted boundary conditions. When $K$ is even, from the anomaly at finite temperature, we estimate the relation between the critical temperatures associated with the confinement/deconfinement and the breaking of the global symmetry. Finally we discuss the anomaly matching at finite temperature when $K$ is odd.

description: The tuning of electrical circuit resonance with a variable capacitor, or varactor, finds wide application with the most important being wireless telecommunication. We demonstrate an electromechanical graphene varactor, a variable capacitor wherein the capacitance is tuned by voltage controlled deflection of a dense array of suspended graphene membranes. The low flexural rigidity of graphene monolayers is exploited to achieve low actuation voltage in an ultra-thin structure. Large arrays comprising thousands of suspensions were fabricated to give a tunable capacitance of over 10 pF/mm$^2$, higher than that achieved by traditional micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technologies. A capacitance tuning of 55% was achieved with a 10 V actuating voltage, exceeding that of conventional MEMS parallel plate capacitors. Capacitor behavior was investigated experimentally, and described by a simple theoretical model. Mechanical properties of the graphene membranes were measured independently using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Increased graphene conductivity will enable the application of the compact graphene varactor to radio frequency systems.
title: Segregierte Sprachförderung in Österreich auf dem Prüfstand: eine Untersuchung der ethischen Tragfähigkeit der Gesetzgebung zu den Deutschförderklassen und -kursen
Creators: name: Woltran, Flora
Year: 2023

description: Angesichts der steigenden Zahl von Schüler:innen mit Migrationsbiographie und der fortwährenden Herausforderung für Bildungspolitik und -praxis, die akademische Entwicklung aller Lernender positiv zu beeinflussen, wurden auf internationaler Ebene verschiedene Modelle der Sprachförderung entwickelt. In Österreich ist seit dem Schuljahr 2018/19 ein segregiertes Modell der Sprachförderung in Kraft getreten, um die Chancengerechtigkeit für sogenannte außerordentliche Schüler:innen (Schüler:innen mit mangelhaften oder unzureichenden Kenntnissen in der Unterrichtssprache) zu erhöhen. Vergangene Untersuchungen zeigen, dass das Postulat der Stärkung der Chancengerechtigkeit nicht erfüllt wurde und außerordentliche Schüler:innen mit zahlreichen akademischen und sozio-emotionalen Schwierigkeiten konfrontiert sind. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit setzt genau an diesem Punkt an, widmet sich jedoch dem bisher wenig untersuchten Thema der eingehenden Analyse der Gesetzgebung zu den Deutschförderklassen und -kursen. Im Zuge der Anwendung der rechtsethischen Methode der teleologischen Auslegung wird demnach die moralische Seite der gesetzlichen Bestimmungen beleuchtet. Anschließend gilt es, die gesetzlichen Bestimmungen nach ihrem subjektiven und objektiven Sinn und Zweck auszulegen und die damit verbundenen Folgen für die Adressat:innen aufzuzeigen. Den Abschluss der Forschungsarbeit bilden Schlussfolgerungen hinsichtlich der moralischen Bewertung der Gesetzgebung zu den Deutschförderklassen und -kursen.

description: Size-calibrated commercial nanodiamonds synthesized by high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) technique were studied by high-frequency W and conventional X band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The numbers of spins in the studied samples were estimated. The core-shell model of the HPHT nanodiamonds was proposed to explain the observed dependence of the concentration of the N0 paramagnetic centers. Two other observed paramagnetic centers are attributed to the two types of structures in the nanodiamond shell.

description: Trapped ion modes (TIM) belong to the family of ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes, which are one of the important ingredients in heat turbulent transport at the ion scale in tokamak plasmas. It is essential to properly estimate their linear growth rate to understand their influence on ion-scale turbulent transport. A global linear analysis of a reduced gyro-bounce kinetic model for trapped particle modes is performed, and a spectral method is proposed to solve the dispersion relation. Importantly, the radial profile of the particle drift velocity is taken into account in the linear analysis by considering the magnetic flux ψ dependency of the equilibrium Hamiltonian H_{eq}(ψ) in the quasi-neutrality equation and equilibrium gyro-bounce averaged distribution function F_{eq} . Using this spectral method, linear growth-rates of TIM instability in presence of different temperature profiles and precession frequencies of trapped ions, with an approximated constant Hamiltonian and the exact ψ dependent equilibrium Hamiltonian, are investigated. The growth-rate depends on the logarithmic gradient of temperature κ_{T} , density κ_{n} and equilibrium Hamiltonian κ_Λ . With the exact ψ dependent Hamiltonian, the growth rates and potential profiles are modified significantly, compared to the cases with approximated constant Hamiltonian. All the results from the global linear analysis agree with a semi-Lagrangian based linear Vlasov solver with a good accuracy. This spectral method is very fast and requires very less computation resources compared to a linear version of Vlasov-solver based on a semi-Lagrangian scheme.
