description: The effect of light induced degradation, the Staebler-Wronski effect, of amorphous silicon technology
has caused some concern in the initial steps of market introduction for this technology. Another effect present in all
photovoltaic technologies is the long term irreversible degradation. The present paper deals on both effects and their
impact on the long term performance of amorphous silicon photovoltaic modules.
We evaluated the thermal coefficient of Efficiency for fast temperature changes of , an annealing
coefficient for efficiency, due to Staebler-Wronski effect, of
, and a joint coefficient for both
temperature effects of
.
In addition, other of the concerns about the technology was the long term reliability; in this case the concern was
caused by some initial failures of the early amorphous silicon modules with deficient encapsulation. Modern
amorphous silicon technology usually provides glass-glass encapsulation that, together with laser interconnection and
highly automated manufacturing, provides a very reliable module performance in the field. The best evaluation for
the inter-annual performance degradation of the amorphous silicon modules is estimated at −0.51%/year.

description: In photovoltaic generation, Voc, Isc, Rs, etc varies according to the temperature of PV module, and the
output will decrease as the temperature increases. Output variance on temperature can be expressed as temperature
coefficient. Recently, temperature coefficient becomes noted as significant factor according to photovoltaic power
generation in various environments, such as desert condition.
In this paper, measurement method of temperature coefficient using continuous type simulator, unlike conventional
measurement method using pulse type, is studied. 100X100[mm2] of Triple Junction a-Si solar module was tested
especially for the purpose of high voltage and low current device characteristics.
Finally, we confirmed that the test conditions with and without chambers are very crucial to the temperature leading
to the variation of the output of PV module.

description: In this work, we present an enhancement in power conversion efficiency of thin-film silicon tandem solar cells making use of industrial relevant light management concepts. Within the European project “Fast-Track”, which deals with the accelerated development and prototyping of nano-technology-based high-efficiency thin-film silicon solar modules, we work on two of these concepts realized at the sun-facing side of thin-film silicon solar cells:
Anti-Reflective Coating and Periodic Grating Structure.
Prototype thin-film silicon tandem solar cells, making use of these two light management concepts, were compared to reference solar cells applying conventional random-texture based light management. It is demonstrated that the power conversion efficiency of thin-film silicon tandem solar cells is increased from 11.7% up to 12.0% by the use of an Anti-Reflective Coating and up to 12.1% by the use of a Periodic Grating Structure.

description: While ALMA and JWST are revolutionizing our view of star and planet formation with their unprecedented sensitivity and resolution at submillimeter and near-IR wavelengths, many outstanding questions can only be answered with observations in the thermal (mid- and far-) infrared domain. Many of these questions require space-based observations, to achieve the necessary sensitivity and/or wavelength coverage. In particular, how do interstellar clouds develop filamentary structures and dense cores? What are the masses and luminosities of objects at the earliest stages of star formation? What are the gas masses of planet-forming disks, and how do these disks disperse during planet formation? How is refractory and volatile material distributed within the disks, and how does this evolve with time? This article reviews how upcoming and planned balloon-borne and space-based telescopes for the mid- and far-infrared will address these questions, and outlines which further missions will be needed beyond 2030, when the ELTs will be in full operation.

description: Let $G$ be a group. The \emph{power graph} of $G$ is a graph with the vertex set $G$, having an edge between two elements whenever one is a power of the other. We characterize nilpotent groups whose power graphs have finite independence number. For a bounded exponent group, we prove its power graph is a perfect graph and we determine its clique/chromatic number. Furthermore, it is proved that for every group $G$, the clique number of the power graph of $G$ is at most countably infinite. We also measure how close the power graph is to the \emph{commuting graph} by introducing a new graph which lies in between. We call this new graph as the \emph{enhanced power graph}. For an arbitrary pair of these three graphs we characterize finite groups for which this pair of graphs are equal.

In order to improve the μc-SiGe:H absorbers single junction cells were processed carefully monitoring germanium content and crystallinity while varying pressure and germane flow. Homogeneity test on 30 cm x 30 cm deposition area were performed resulting in a good homogeneity for the thickness. Triple junction cells were fabricated by depositing μc-Si:H and μc-SiGe:H absorbers on state of the art tandem structures managed to reach 12.2 % efficiency. Our intention is to develop an industrial relevant process with attractive fabrication times by benefiting from the enhanced absorption of μc-SiGe:H compared to μc-Si:H.

description: As Malaysia prepares itself to be an ageing society, many of its citizens are entering into life after retirement. Malaysians aged 60 and above comprised only 4.6 per cent in 1957 and after over six decades, this has increased to 10.6 percent. With increasing life expectancy from 58 years in 1957 to 75 in 2018, the older generation is now living longer. The increase in retirement age, unfortunately, does not commensurate the rise in life expectancy. While life after retirement on average was only about two years in 1957, this gap has increased to 15 years by 2018 given 60 years being the current retirement age.This leaves a long period of time where useful manpower goes untapped nor put to optimal use. In this phase of life, the retirees from both public and private sectors alike risk deterioration of health and their maintenance, which show they require more social supports and adequate healthcare. Dependency ratio keeps rising, partly due to the increase in the proportion of those who are over 60 years in age.

description: Using synchrotron-radiation photoemission, we have studied the evolution of the interfacial electronic properties of alkali- and alkali-earth-metal atoms adding at the organic semiconductor heterointerfaces. The heterointerfaces were obtained by depositing C60 on doped-rubrene surfaces. A C60/rubrene heterostructure has been shown to permit the efficient integration of both light- and current-generation functions. The photoemission spectra showed that the interfacial dipole potential was significantly enlarged, as was the separation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C60 and the highest occupied molecular orbital of rubrene. The results demonstrate that the addition of alkali- and alkali-earth-metal atoms should be an effective method for improving the efficiency of of light- and current-generating devices.

description: We present a new TiO2 morphology, featuring high surface area and open structure, synthesized by a new two-step chemical route for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) applications. This construct is sets of intertwined nanotubes, so called skein-like nanotubes. The skein-like morphology enables to eliminate the conventional four-fold layer deposition process by a single layer deposition of TiO2 nanotubes. Such morphology enhances photon capture of fabricated DSSC by exerting a triple function mechanism including improvement of light scattering, dye sensitization and electron transport. The grown skein-like TiO2 nanotubes using mesoporous nanoparticle precursor, synthesized by TiC oxidation at 70°C followed by annealing at 400°C, shows high open structure with narrow diameter size distribution. The fabricated cell made of a single layer of that product shows power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.53%. A double layer solar cell containing under layer of nanoparticles and over layer of 50% nanotubes and 50% nanoparticles shows PCE of 6.37%. These are one of the highest PCEs reported for single and double layer solar cells of randomly oriented nanotubes.

Gauge color codes in two dimensions

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We present a family of quantum error-correcting codes that support a universal set of transversal logic gates using only local operations on a two-dimensional array of physical qubits. The construction is a subsystem version of color codes where gauge fixing through local measurements dynamically determines which gates are transversal. Although the operations are local, the underlying code is not topological in structure, which is how the construction circumvents no-go constraints imposed by the Bravyi-König and Pastawski-Yoshida theorems. We provide strong evidence that the encoding has no error threshold in the conventional sense, though it is still possible to have logical gates with error probability much lower than that of physical gates.

description: Advantages of organic photovoltaic (OPV) are low cost, low pollution and flexible. But current challenge
for application still lack of accurately performance characterization of OPV due to capacitance issue. Firstly,
characterization of OPV requires considering the slowly temporal response due to capacitance effect, and the relative
I-V curves are strongly dependent on the voltage sweep direction, even the sweep time only in few seconds. Secondly,
the IPCE is also having the temporal response that is dependent on the wavelength of the incident light. Furthermore,
the related features for measuring the I-V curves are more sensitive with temperature due to non-linear characteristics
issue. In this work, we summarized different electronic transport materials due to the decay time in real-time view of
the capacitance effectiveness of OPV, and measured I-V curves by a steady-state simulator.

description: We analyze a sample of 45 Type II supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) public survey using a grid of hydrodynamical models in order to assess whether theoretically-driven forecasts can intelligently guide follow up observations supporting all-sky survey alert streams. We estimate several progenitor properties and explosion physics parameters including zero-age-main-sequence (ZAMS) mass, mass-loss rate, kinetic energy, 56Ni mass synthesized, host extinction, and the time of explosion. Using complete light curves we obtain confident characterizations for 34 events in our sample, with the inferences of the remaining 11 events limited either by poorly constraining data or the boundaries of our model grid. We also simulate real-time characterization of alert stream data by comparing our model grid to various stages of incomplete light curves (t less than 25 days, t less than 50 days, all data), and find that some parameters are more reliable indicators of true values at early epochs than others. Specifically, ZAMS mass, time of explosion, steepness parameter beta, and host extinction are reasonably constrained with incomplete light curve data, whereas mass-loss rate, kinetic energy and 56Ni mass estimates generally require complete light curves spanning greater than 100 days. We conclude that real-time modeling of transients, supported by multi-band synthetic light curves tailored to survey passbands, can be used as a powerful tool to identify critical epochs of follow up observations. Our findings are relevant to identify, prioritize, and coordinate efficient follow up of transients discovered by Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Their key elements are Josephson junctions, which allow for coherent supercurrent tunneling between two weakly linked superconductors. If such a junction is extended in one direction to a long junction, the superconducting phase difference can vary in space and time and may allow for quantized phase windings that drive supercurrent vortices.

description: Owing to the spin, valley, and orbital symmetries, the lowest Landau level (LL) in bilayer graphene exhibits multicomponent quantum Hall ferromagnetism. Using transport spectroscopy, we investigate the energy gaps of integer and fractional quantum Hall states in bilayer graphene with controlled layer polarization. The state at filling factor ν=1 has two distinct phases: a layer polarized state that has a larger energy gap and is stabilized by high electric field, and a hitherto unobserved interlayer coherent state with a smaller gap that is stabilized by large magnetic field. In contrast, the ν=2/3 quantum Hall state and a feature at ν=1/2 are only resolved at finite electric field and large magnetic field. These results underscore the importance of controlling layer polarization in understanding the competing symmetries in the unusual QH system of BLG.

description: The thickness of the active layer in organic solar cells is usually determined by a trade-off between
optimal absorption and requirements for efficient exciton dissociation as well as charge transport. This compromise
in absorption can be mitigated by the application of plasmonic light trapping in organic photovoltaics. The effects of
incorporating solution-processable silver nanoparticles at the dual interfaces in the vicinity of the active layer have
been studied. Enhanced absorption consistent with resonance regime of the silver nanoparticles was observed.
However, high nanoparticle concentration causes changes to the zinc oxide topography which may adversely affect
the active layer morphology and induce exciton quenching at the interface. Preliminary investigations have shown
that this change in topography may increase photoluminescence at the charge transfer state, which is associated with
alterations to the active layer morphology.

Effect of chain stiffness on the dynamics and microstructure of crystallizable bead-spring polymer melts

description: We constrast the dynamics in model unentangled polymer melts of chains of three different stiffnesses: flexible, intermediate, and rodlike. Flexible and rodlike chains, which readily solidify into close-packed crystals (respectively with randomly oriented and nematically aligned chains), display simple melt dynamics with Arrhenius temperature dependence and a discontinuous change upon solidification. Intermediate-stiffness chains, however, are fragile glass-formers displaying Vogel-Fulcher dynamical arrest, despite the fact that they also possess a nematic-close-packed crystalline ground state. To connect this difference in dynamics to the differing microstructure of the melts, we examine how various measures of structure, including cluster-level metrics recently introduced in studies of colloidal systems, vary with chain stiffness and temperature. No clear static-structural cause of the dynamical arrest is found. However, we find that the intermediate-stiffness chains display qualitatively different dynamical heterogeneity. Specifically, their stringlike correlated motion (cooperative rearrangement) is correlated along chain backbones in a way not found for either flexible or rodlike chains. This activated "crawling" motion seems to be the cause of the dynamical arrest observed for these systems, and shows that the factors controlling the crystallization vs.\ glass formation competition in polymers likely depend nonmonotonically on chain stiffness.

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1620-1622
description: This paper presents the preparation of multicrystalline silicon layers for thin film solar cells on glass by
using a line focus diode laser emitting a wavelength of 980 nm. Previously, a diode laser emitting a wavelength of
808 nm was used for this process. For preparation of the solar cells a 5 to 10 μm thick amorphous silicon layer is
deposited by high rate electron beam evaporation. The subsequent diode laser process results in a crystalline layer
consisting of up to mm sized grains to be used as the absorber layer of the solar cell. The emitter is prepared by
epitaxial crystallization of a highly p-doped a-Si thin film by applying an excimer laser. Solar cells based on this laser
crystallization process showed efficiencies up to 10%. The new 980 nm diode laser has considerable advantages for
up-scaling to an industrial scale, e.g. an up to 50% higher optical power per device than the 808 nm diode laser and
more than 100.000 hours life time in a 24/7 production regime. Irradiation of the amorphous silicon layers by 980 nm
wavelength laser light yields similar crystal structure as by 808 nm wavelength, however at a similar laser power. The
properties of the solar cells prepared by both laser sources are compared.
Observing Signals of Spectral Features in the Cosmic-Ray Positrons and Electrons from Milky Way Pulsars

description: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) has provided unprecedented precision measurements of the electron and positron cosmic-ray fluxes and the positron fraction spectrum. At the higher energies, sources as energetic local pulsars, may contribute to both cosmic-ray species. The discreteness of the source population, can result in features both on the positron fraction measurement and in the respective electron and positron spectra. For the latter, those would coincide in energy and would contrast predictions of smooth spectra as from particle dark matter. In this work, using a library of pulsar population models for the local part of the Milky Way, we perform a power-spectrum analysis on the cosmic-ray positron fraction. We also develop a technique to cross-correlate the electron and positron fluxes. We show that both such analyses, can be used to search statistically for the presence of spectral wiggles in the cosmic-ray data. For a significant fraction of our pulsar simulations, those techniques are already sensitive enough to give a signal for the presence of those features above the regular noise, with forthcoming observations making them even more sensitive. Finally, by cross-correlating the AMS-02 electron and positron spectra, we find an intriguing first hint for a positive correlation between them, of the kind expected by a population of local pulsars.

Mixed-order phase transition in a minimal, diffusion based spin model
Creators: name: Fronczak, Agata

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: In this paper, we exactly solve, within the grand canonical ensemble, a minimal spin model with the hybrid phase transition. We call the model "diffusion-based" because its hamiltonian can be recovered from a simple dynamic procedure, which can be seen as an equilibrium statistical mechanics representation of a biased random walk. We outline the derivation of the phase diagram of the model, in which the triple point has the hallmarks of the hybrid transition: discontinuity in the average magnetization and algebraically diverging susceptibilities. At this point, two second-order transition curves meet in equilibrium with the first-order curve, resulting in a prototypical mixed-order behavior.

description: This work investigates the effects of Al-doped ZnO buffer layer in solution processed inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on a thin film blend of poly[2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl[4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b’]dithiophene-2,6-diyl]] and [6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester. The Al-doped ZnO films were prepared using sol-gel deposition. Doping the sol-gel derived ZnO with aluminium enhances the conversion of zinc acetate to ZnO, which improves the films’ optical and electrical characteristics. An average power conversion efficiency of 3.29% was achieved with Al-doped ZnO devices.

description: Excess noise from scattered light poses a persistent challenge in the analysis of data from gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO. We integrate a physically motivated model for the behavior of these "glitches" into a standard Bayesian analysis pipeline used in gravitational wave science. This allows for the inference of the free parameters in this model, and subtraction of these models to produce glitch-free versions of the data. We show that this inference is an effective discriminator of the presence of the features of these glitches, even when those features may not be discernible in standard visualizations of the data.

Effects of electron temperature anisotropy on proton mirror instability evolution

description: Proton mirror modes are large amplitude nonpropagating structures frequently observed in the magnetosheath. It has been suggested that electron temperature anisotropy can enhance the proton mirror instability growth rate while leaving the proton cyclotron instability largely unaffected, therefore causing the proton mirror instability to dominate the proton cyclotron instability in Earth's magnetosheath. Here, we use particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the electron temperature anisotropy effects on proton mirror instability evolution. Contrary to the hypothesis, electron temperature anisotropy leads to excitement of the electron whistler instability. Our results show that the electron whistler instability grows much faster than the proton mirror instability and quickly consumes the electron free energy, so that there is no electron temperature anisotropy left to significantly impact the evolution of the proton mirror instability.

description: This chapter, also specifically prepared for the courses taught in post-Soviet countries, continues the discussion of human rights on the basis of its subfields such as children’s rights, women’s rights, rights of the people with disabilities. It aims to give perspective on the main principles of children’s rights and the ground-breaking role of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the different parenting styles and their correspondence with children’s rights. The significance of developing women’s human rights, what are and what are not “women’s rights, the main characteristics of the right to education, the significance of developing human rights of disabled persons are also explored. It briefly touches upon some region-specific issues that are characteristic of Central Asian societies such as the status of brides (kelins), persistence of paternalistic and patriarchal culture, and polygamy, thus emphasizing the importance of human rights in building a humane and just world on the basis of mutual respect and empathy.
