description: The content presented within this paper deals with leachout characteristics of clean polyvinyl chloride
(PVC-X) and polypropylene (PP) Plastic Piping Systems used for specified water systems in Photovoltaic Cell
manufacturing. The authors took a look at the growing popularity of Polyolefin’s (PP + PE) and the Infrared (IR)
Welding Technology to see how it stacked up against the yield requirements from crystalline production6. All testing
followed the same format so that results can be compared one-on-one. Two things have remained constant - First,
high tech industries continue to economize where they can. No place is a better example than seen in photovoltaic
cell manufacturing where squeezing every expense involved in production is mandatory. Second, PVC, PP and PE
remain materials for general use and were never intended to be used to make piping system components for
conveyance of the highest qualities of water needed. These Materials of Construction are successfully being used in
the Industry for designing Clean Systems complying with the recently established SEMI PV3-0310 standard.

description: We carry out sensitive searches for the CO J=1-0 and J=2-1 lines in the giant extragalactic HI ring in Leo to investigate the star formation process within environments where gas metallicities are close to solar but physical conditions are different than those typical of bright galaxy disks. Our aim is to check the range of validity of known scaling relations. We use the IRAM-30m telescope to observe eleven regions close to HI gas peaks or where sparse young massive stars have been found. For all pointed observations we reached a spectral noise between 1 and 5~mK for at least one observed frequencies at 2~km/s spectral resolution. We marginally detect two CO J=1-0 lines in the star forming region Clump~1 of the Leo ring, whose radial velocities are consistent with those of Halpha lines but line widths are much smaller than observed for virialized molecular clouds of similar mass in galaxies. The low signal-to-noise ratio, the small line widths and the extremely low number densities suggest that a more standard population of molecular clouds, still undetected, might be in place. Using upper limits to the CO lines, the most sensitive pointed observations show that the molecular gas mass surface density is lower than expected from the extrapolation of the molecular Kennicutt-Schmidt relation established in the disk of galaxies. The sparse stellar population in the ring, possibly forming ultra diffuse dwarf galaxies, might then be the result of a short molecular gas depletion time in this extreme environment.}

A modified WKB formulation for linear eigenmodes of a collisionless self-gravitating disc in the epicyclic approximation

description: The short--wave asymptotics (WKB) of spiral density waves in self-gravitating stellar discs is well suited for the study of the dynamics of tightly--wound wavepackets. But the textbook WKB theory is not well adapted to the study of the linear eigenmodes in a collisionless self-gravitating disc because of the transcendental nature of the dispersion relation. We present a modified WKB of spiral density waves, for collisionless discs in the epicyclic limit, in which the perturbed gravitational potential is related to the perturbed surface density by the Poisson integral in Kalnaj's logarithmic spiral form. An integral equation is obtained for the surface density perturbation, which is seen to also reduce to the standard WKB dispersion relation. We specialize to a low mass (or Keplerian) self-gravitating disc around a massive black hole, and derive an integral equation governing the eigenspectra and eigenfunctions of slow precessional modes. For a prograde disc, the integral kernel turns out be real and symmetric, implying that all slow modes are stable. We apply the slow mode integral equation to two unperturbed disc profiles, the Jalali--Tremaine annular discs, and the Kuzmin disc. We determine eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for both $m = 1$ and $m = 2$ slow modes for these profiles and discuss their properties. Our results compare well with those of Jalali--Tremaine.

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1218-1223
description: Solar cell developers tend to classify their devices in terms of efficiency under standard test conditions which
are rarely fulfilled under real operating conditions of a PV system. We propose a simple method allowing to
benchmark solar cells in terms of the energy which will be really produced. The only additional measurements
required are a determination of the temperature coefficient and the illumination dependence of the cell
efficiency. For the second part, an automated set up using LEDs has been developed.

description: The magnetic, thermodynamic and electrical/thermal transport properties of the caged-structure quasi-skutterudite Gd$_3$Ir$_4$Sn$_{13}$ are re-investigated. The magnetization $M(T)$, specific heat $C_p(T)$ and the resistivity $ρ(T)$ reveal a double-phase transition -- at $T_{N1}\sim$ 10~K and at $T_{N2}\sim$ 8.8~K -- which was not observed in the previous report on this compound. The antiferromagnetic transition is also visible in the thermal transport data, thereby suggesting a close connection between the electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in this Sn-based quasi-skutterudite. The temperature dependence of $ρ(T)$ is analyzed in terms of a power-law for resistivity pertinent to Fermi liquid picture. Giant, positive magnetoresistance (MR) $\approx$ 80$\%$ is observed in Gd$_3$Ir$_4$Sn$_{13}$ at 2~K with the application of 9~T. The giant MR and the double magnetic transition can be attributed to the quasi-cages and layered antiferromagnetic structure of Gd$_3$Ir$_4$Sn$_{13}$ vulnerable to structural distortions and/or dipolar or spin-reorientation effects. The giant value of MR observed in this class of 3:4:13 type alloys, especially in a Gd-compound, is the highlight of this work.

description: To implement photovoltaic (PV) electricity systems on a large scale, development of PV system are
needed and the costs of the PV systems must be further reduced. We have developed a highly reliable quantitative
methodology for wide range of PV technology. To analyze the manufacturing cost structure, we designed and
evaluated manufacturing processes. We aggregated the costs of equipment, labor, raw materials, and utilities required
to manufacture each type of PV system. This paper examines PV-cell technologies, considering the cost reduction of
PV systems as technology develops and the results of development on the cost structures for various solar cells. To
estimate cost reduction, in addition to examining the formation of thin Si wafers, we must also examine highefficiency
tandem wafers. Moreover, in creating our technological scenarios, we examine the deposition rate for thinfilm
compounds, perovskite, and organic matter and estimate that the rate will reach 30% module efficiency for highefficiency
multijunction types. Therefore, it will be possible to reduce Si-based PV system costs to below US$0.50-
0.60/Wp. This approach enabled us to analyze the cost-reduction potential of each PV-cell technology.

description: We test the merger-induced dual active galactic nuclei (dAGN) paradigm using a sample of 35 radio galaxy pairs from the SDSS Stripe 82 field. Using Keck optical spectroscopy, we confirm 21 pairs have consistent redshifts, constituting kinematic pairs; the remaining 14 pairs are line-of-sight projections. We classify the optical spectral signatures via emission line ratios, equivalent widths, and excess of radio power above star-formation predicted outputs. We find 6 galaxies are classified as LINERs and 7 are AGN/starburst composites. Most of the LINERs are retired galaxies, while the composites likely have AGN contribution. All of the kinematic pairs exhibit radio power more than 10$\times$ above the level expected from just star-formation, suggestive of a radio AGN contribution. We also analyze high-resolution (0.3") imaging at 6 GHz from the NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array for 17 of the kinematic pairs. We find 6 pairs (2 new, 4 previously known) host two separate radio cores, confirming their status as dAGNs. The remaining 11 pairs contain single AGNs, with most exhibiting prominent jets/lobes overlapping their companion. Our final census indicates a dAGN duty cycle slightly higher than predictions of purely stochastic fueling, although a larger sample (potentially culled from VLASS) is needed to fully address the dAGN fraction. We conclude that while dAGNs in the Stripe 82 field are rare, the merger process plays some role in their triggering and it facilitates low to moderate levels of accretion.

description: The application of thin Al2O3 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) films as back side passivation is
currently well on its way to mass production. The primary drivers for the ALD implementation are: increased cell
efficiency and a favorable return on investment.
Thin films of Al2O3 < 10 nm are widely tested on cells within the industry and provide substantial better efficiencies
than cells with other backside passivation layers. With this type of film, PERC-type cells with efficiencies > 20 %
were realized. Furthermore, such cells are processed with throughput numbers > 3000 wafers/hr. Furthermore, the
optimization of the stack of a thin Al2O3 layer (< 6 nm) and SiN capping layer results in a more narrow distribution of
cell efficiencies and Isc.

The present method allows the study of nuclear states with collective and single-particle character. We calculate the fascinating structure of the semi-magic 44S nucleus as a first application of the method, obtaining an excellent quantitative agreement both with the available experimental data and with state-of-the-art shell model calculations.

description: In recent years, image and video delivery systems have begun integrating deep learning super-resolution (SR) approaches, leveraging their unprecedented visual enhancement capabilities while reducing reliance on networking conditions. Nevertheless, deploying these solutions on mobile devices still remains an active challenge as SR models are excessively demanding with respect to workload and memory footprint. Despite recent progress on on-device SR frameworks, existing systems either penalize visual quality, lead to excessive energy consumption or make inefficient use of the available resources. This work presents NAWQ-SR, a novel framework for the efficient on-device execution of SR models. Through a novel hybrid-precision quantization technique and a runtime neural image codec, NAWQ-SR exploits the multi-precision capabilities of modern mobile NPUs in order to minimize latency, while meeting user-specified quality constraints. Moreover, NAWQ-SR selectively adapts the arithmetic precision at run time to equip the SR DNN's layers with wider representational power, improving visual quality beyond what was previously possible on NPUs. Altogether, NAWQ-SR achieves an average speedup of 7.9x, 3x and 1.91x over the state-of-the-art on-device SR systems that use heterogeneous processors (MobiSR), CPU (SplitSR) and NPU (XLSR), respectively. Furthermore, NAWQ-SR delivers an average of 3.2x speedup and 0.39 dB higher PSNR over status-quo INT8 NPU designs, but most importantly mitigates the negative effects of quantization on visual quality, setting a new state-of-the-art in the attainable quality of NPU-based SR.

description: Two extrapolation models of the solar coronal magnetic field are compared using magnetogram data from the SDO/HMI instrument. The two models, a horizontal current-current sheet-source surface (HCCSSS) model and a potential field-source surface (PFSS) model differ in their treatment of coronal currents. Each model has its own critical variable, respectively the radius of a cusp surface and a source surface, and it is found that adjusting these heights over the period studied allows better fit between the models and the solar open flux at 1 AU as calculated from the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). The HCCSSS model provides the better fit for the overall period from 2010 November to 2015 May as well as for two subsets of the period - the minimum/rising part of the solar cycle, and the recently-identified peak in the IMF from mid-2014 to mid-2015 just after solar maximum. It is found that a HCCSSS cusp surface height of 1.7 Rsun provides the best fit to the IMF for the overall period, while 1.7 & 1.9 Rsun give the best fits for the two subsets. The corresponding values for the PFSS source surface height are 2.1, 2.2 and 2.0 Rsun respectively. This means that the HCCSSS cusp surface rises as the solar cycle progresses while the PFSS source surface falls.

description: Interdigitated back contact silicon heterojunction solar cells were fabricated not by photolithography
but by inkjet patterning. In this process, the print quality should influence on the device dimensions, and the device
simulation showed that the device properties strongly depend on the overlap width of p and n strip (n/p overlap) and
the width of the uncovered p-strip without the p-electrode and the n/p overlap. By the patterning using a photoresist
resin as a resist ink, the total widths of the n/p overlap and the uncovered p-strip were rather wide, 120~280μm, and
the cell efficiency was 10.3%. For the finer patterning to improve the cell properties, the application of a new
drawing ink has been undertaken.

description: To understand the mechanism behind high-$z$ Ly$α$ nebulae, we simulate the scattering of Ly$α$ in a $\rm H\,I$ halo about a central Ly$α$ source. For the first time, we consider both smooth and clumpy distributions of halo gas, as well as a range of outflow speeds, total $\rm H\,I$ column densities, $\rm H\,I$ spatial concentrations, and central source galaxies (e.g., with Ly$α$ line widths corresponding to those typical of AGN or star-forming galaxies). We compute the spatial-frequency diffusion and the polarization of the Ly$α$ photons scattered by atomic hydrogen. Our scattering-only model reproduces the typical size of Ly$α$ nebulae ($\sim 100\,$kpc) at total column densities $N_{\rm HI} \geq 10^{20} \rm cm^{-2}$ and predicts a range of positive, flat, and negative polarization radial gradients. We also find two general classes of Ly$α$ nebula morphologies: with and without bright cores. Cores are seen when $N_{\rm HI}$ is low, i.e., when the central source is directly visible, and are associated with a polarization jump, a steep increase in the polarization radial profile just outside the halo center. Of all the parameters tested in our smooth or clumpy medium model, $N_{\rm HI}$ dominates the trends. The radial behaviors of the Ly$α$ surface brightness, spectral line shape, and polarization in the clumpy model with covering factor $f_c \gtrsim 5$ approach those of the smooth model at the same $N_{\rm HI}$. A clumpy medium with high $N_{\rm HI}$ and low $f_c \lesssim 2$ generates Ly$α$ features via scattering that the smooth model cannot: a bright core, symmetric line profile, and polarization jump.

description: We report the magnetoresistance, magnetothermopower and quantum oscillation study of Sb$_2$Te$_2$Se single crystal. The in-plane transverse magnetoresistance exhibits a crossover at a critical field $B^*$ from semiclassical weak-field $B^2$ dependence to the high-field unsaturated linear magnetoresistance which persists up to the room temperature. The low-temperature Seebeck coefficient is negative in zero field contrary to the positive Hall resistivity, indicating the multiband effect. The magnetic field induced the sign reversion of the Seebeck coefficient between 2 K and 150 K, . The quantum oscillation of crystals reveals the quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) Fermi surface. These effects are possibly attributed to the large Fermi surface which touches Brillouin zone boundary to becomes quasi-2D and the variation in the chemical potential induced by the magnetic field.

These decay modes are expected to be probed in the near future with increased sensitivity by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The simple standard model extensions featured have doubly-charged scalars as the mediators of the above decay processes. The phenomenology of these extensions is studied here in detail.

description: New CCD observations for thirteen eccentric eclipsing binaries from the Large Magellanic Cloud were carried out using the Danish 1.54-meter telescope located at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. These systems were observed for their times of minima and 56 new minima were obtained. These are needed for accurate determination of the apsidal motion. Besides that, in total 436 times of minima were derived from the photometric databases OGLE and MACHO. The (O-C) diagrams of minima timings for these B-type binaries were analysed and the parameters of the apsidal motion were computed. The light curves of these systems were fitted using the program PHOEBE, giving the light curve parameters. We derived for the first time the relatively short periods of the apsidal motion ranging from 21 to 107 years. The system OGLE-LMC-ECL-07902 was also analysed using the spectra and radial velocities, resulting in masses 6.8, and 4.4 M0 for the eclipsing components. For one system (OGLE-LMC-ECL-20112), the third-body hypothesis was also used for describing the residuals after subtraction of the apsidal motion, resulting in period of about 22 years. For several systems an additional third light was also detected, which makes these systems suspicious of triplicity. Based on data collected with the Danish 1.54-m telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory.

description: It is well known that Jsc of back junction back contacted (BJBC) solar cells is reduced when the rear
pitch is increased, sometimes called “electrical shading”. It is commonly thought that this happens mainly because
the minority carriers suffer from a lower collection efficiency when a larger pitch forces them to travel larger lateral
distances in the base. However, we show by means of numerical device simulations that the Jsc losses are mainly
caused by increased recombination within the front surface field (FSF) and back surface field (BSF) regions. To
understand this effect, one may consider that the recombination in these regions is controlled by the separation of the
quasi-Fermi levels EFn,Fp at the base side of the high-low junctions: a larger EFn,Fp at the high-low junction
increases the amount of recombination exponentially. In case the base is in low-level injection, EFn,Fp depends on
Ndop of the base and therefore recombination in the FSF and BSF is increased at higher Ndop under Jsc conditions
(while J0 stays independent of EFn,Fp). Because high-low junctions are also frequently used in other cell structures
than BJBC, we develop a unified view that also incorporates back-junction double-side contacted cells (BJDC),
common front-junction double-side contacted cells (FJDC), and bifacial cells. We show in general terms that the Jsc
losses in any solar cell structure are most pronounced if considerable carrier generation occurs near high-low
junctions.

description: In the present work, an approach has been presented for estimation of the quantitative shunt resistance
values of linear shunts in crystalline silicon solar cells by electroluminescence imaging. In this method,
electroluminescence intensity is related with the actual shunt value considering the voltage and current across the shunt.
Distributed diode model has been used to estimate the shunt current. This approach has been experimentally supported by
introducing a known value of shunt externally with different value of applied currents. The experimental results show that
this approach gives good estimation of shunt resistance at higher current value.

description: This paper deals with polarization phenomenon of luminescence radiation from silicon solar cells. Luminescence radiation is characterized identically as electromagnetic waves. The main idea of this paper is to describe of theoretical polarization phenomenon of infrared radiation that is emitted from silicon solar cell under forward bias. We will speak about luminescence spectroscopy, which can be understood as the science dealing with the origin and properties of all kinds of spectra.
The main focus will be direct on electroluminescence characterization method which is used to yield of polarized luminescence light by defect in solar cells structure. This light emission is commonly modeled as an oscillating charge. Mathematical describe of polarization emission (related to change of intensity) lead to better understand of properties of defects in silicon solar cells.

description: Applying the constraints dictated by the principle of detailed balance, we analyze a recent proposal for spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SMSB) based on enantioselective autocatalysis coupled to a linear decay of the enantiomers and in the presence of reaction noise. We find the racemic state is the final stable outcome for both deterministic as well as for stochastic dynamics, and for both well-mixed and small spatially-coupled systems. The racemic outcome results even when the autocatalytic cycles are driven irreversibly by external reagents, in manifestly non-equilibrium conditions. Our findings suggest that first-order autocatalysis coupled to reactions involving \textit{non-linear} heterochiral dynamics is a necessary pre-condition for any mechanism purporting to lead to molecular homochirality.

description: Voids generation is one of the problems associated with PERC formation using screen-printed
aluminum paste to realize high quality stable devices. The void formation mechanism can be explained by the wellknown
Kirkendall effect due to the difference between the diffusity of aluminum in silicon and diffusity of silicon in
Aluminium. During the local BSF formation, more silicon is diffused out from the silicon wafer into the aluminum
generating voids at the local opening regions between the aluminum contacts and the silicon surface. The stability
problems arise from the partially connected voids at the edges which make it subject to disconnection during module
fabrication and at harsh weather regions that generate more stress on the module surface. The scanning acoustic
microscope that uses ultrasonic waves to investigate the void existence in a complete mapping way is used to
evaluate the voids and its generation mechanisms. By using the fact that sound travels with different speeds in
materials such as in air, silicon and aluminum, we could clearly see the voids and mapping them on the total wafer
area. We used this technique to help us realizing almost Zero void ratio which will insure a very stable PERC solar
cell performance.

description: The nonzero neutrino mass can be a signal for new physics beyond the standard model. To explain the tiny neutrino mass, we can extend the standard model with right-handed Majorana neutrinos in a low-scale seesaw mechanism, while the CP violation effect can be induced due to the CP phase in the interference of heavy Majorana neutrinos. The existence of heavy Majorana neutrinos may lead to lepton number violation processes, which can be used as a probe to search for the signal of heavy Majorana neutrinos. In this paper, we focus on the CP violation effect related to two generations of heavy Majorana neutrinos for $15$ GeV $

description: The Onsager-de Groot-Callen transport theory, implemented as a network model, is used to simulate the transient Harman method, which is widely used experimentally to determine all thermoelectric transport coefficients in a single measurement setup. It is shown that this method systematically overestimates the Seebeck coefficient for samples composed of two different materials. As a consequence, the figure of merit is also overestimated, if the thermal coupling of the measurement setup to the environment is weak. For a mixture of metal and semiconductor particles near metal percolation the figure of merit obtained by the Harman method is more than 100 \% too large. For a correct interpretation of the experimental data, information on composition and microstructure of the sample are indispensable.

description: Two dimensional solar cell simulations using Silvaco educational tools are carried out to investigate
the possible analogy between the a-Si:H(p+)/c-Si(n) silicon solar cell with a hetero-interface (HIT) and the inversion
layer MIS silicon solar cell, both cells having an inversion layer emitter. The p+ inversion layer emitter in the HIT
cell is systematically induced by the valence band offset at the a-Si:H(p+)/c-Si(n) interface while the inversion layer
in the MIS cell has been intentionally induced. It is shown that if both cells have similar lateral p+ doped emitter
contact regions their dark currents match and are similarly affected by the series resistance due to lateral current flow.
The I-V characteristics of the MIS cell with lateral contacts under illumination show a strong degradation in the Fill
Factor and the open circuit voltage due to recombination in the p+ diffused contact regions.
By introducing a full emitter TCO metallization layer to the top side of the HIT cell, these losses were removed and
the high efficiency of the HIT cell was restored.

description: We study the disordered XYZ spin chain using the recently developed Spectrum Bifurcation Renormalization Group (SBRG) numerical method. With strong disorder, the phase diagram consists of three many body localized (MBL) spin glass phases. We argue that, with sufficiently strong disorder, these spin glass phases are separated by marginally many-body localized (MBL) critical lines. We examine the critical lines of this model by measuring the entanglement entropy and Edwards-Anderson spin glass order parameter, and find that the critical lines are characterized by an effective central charge c'=ln2. Our data also suggests continuously varying critical exponents along the critical lines. We also demonstrate how long-range mutual information can distinguish these phases.

description: We study the high energy emission of two active galactic nuclei (AGN), NGC 4258 and NGC 7213. We directly apply the general-relativistic (GR) hot flow model, kerrflow, to the archival BeppoSAX, NuSTAR and Suzaku observations of these objects. Most of these data sets indicate that about 10-20 per cent of the accretion power is used for the direct heating of electrons, however, we find also indications for significant changes of the electron heating efficiency in some cases. Furthermore, all these X-ray data sets indicate rather strongly magnetized flows, with the magnetic field close to the equipartition with the gas pressure. Comparison of the model prediction with the Fermi/LAT data for NGC 7213 allows us to constrain the content of nonthermal protons to at most 10 per cent.

description: Improvements in cell metallization result in busbars with high resistance or of non-continuous or nonuniform
geometry. Measurements of bare solar cells at calibration laboratories demand a procedure which is free of
any influence of lab-specific contacting schemes. For most large area cells with front side contacts shadowing of the
active cell area by the contacting unit during current-voltage measurements cannot be avoided. We present an
advanced multiple step measurement procedure as performed at the Fraunhofer ISE calibration laboratory which is
suitable for many actual metallisation schemes. We explain the requirements for the measurement setup and discuss
the influence of contacting resistances. Insights are transferred to current-voltage measurements of cells with an
unequal collection of current per busbar. For those cells, we propose a new measurement technique with adjustable
resistors to enable homogeneous operating conditions across the cell. We demonstrate the influence on fill factor
measurements with circuit simulations and validate our method experimentally with a specially designed solar cell.
