description: Zodiacal emission is thermal emission from interplanetary dust. Its contribution to the sky brightness is non-negligible in the region near the ecliptic plane, even in the far-infrared (far-IR) wavelength regime. We analyse zodiacal emission observed by the AKARI far-IR all-sky survey, which covers 97% of the entire sky at arcminute-scale resolution in four photometric bands, with central wavelengths of 65, 90, 140, and 160 $μ$m. AKARI detected small-scale structures in the zodiacal dust cloud, including the asteroidal dust bands and the circumsolar ring, at far-IR wavelengths. Although the smooth component of the zodiacal emission structure in the far-IR sky can be reproduced well by models based on existing far-IR observations, previous zodiacal emission models have discrepancies in the small-scale structures compared with observations. We investigate the geometry of the small-scale dust-band structures in the AKARI far-IR all-sky maps and construct template maps of the asteroidal dust bands and the circumsolar ring components based on the AKARI far-IR maps. In the maps, $\pm 1.4°$, $\pm 2.1°$ and $\pm 10°$ asteroidal dust-band structures are detected in the 65 $μ$m and 90 $μ$m bands. A possible $\pm 17°$ band may also have been detected. No evident dust-band structures are identified in either the 140 $μ$m or the 160 $μ$m bands. By subtracting the dust-band templates constructed in this paper, we can achieve a similar level of flux calibration of the AKARI far-IR all-sky maps in the $|β| < 40°$ region to that in the region for $|β| > 40°$.

description: The use of different silicon nitride deposition tools is found to change the degree of light induced degradation (LID) of B-doped float-zone silicon after a fast firing step. In addition, a thermally grown SiO2 interlayer further suppresses LID after firing. Possible mechanisms and a potential link to Light and elevated Temperature Induced Degradation (LeTID) are discussed. Furthermore, it is shown that LID is not related to an earlier described class of thermally activated defects in float-zone silicon and that phosphorous gettering does not influence the occurrence of LID in B-doped float-zone silicon significantly.

description: Theories of privacy and how it relates to the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) have been a topic of research for decades. However, little attention has been paid to the perception of privacy from the perspective of technology users in the Middle East. In this paper, we delve into interpretations of privacy from the approach of Arab Gulf citizens. We consider how privacy is practiced and understood in technology-mediated environments among this population, paying particular attention to the role of Islam and cultural traditions in constructing norms around privacy. We then offer culturally sensitive design principles and suggestions for future research that incorporates previously unexplored characteristics of privacy, which play a role in how users navigate social media.

description: Laser-doped selective emitters feature the advantage of more effective shielding of minority charge
carriers from the metal contacts while allowing for low emitter saturation current density j0e in the photoactive area.
The formation of emitters by diffusion processes using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) with incorporated in-situ oxidation
gains more and more attention as it allows for low j0e below 90 fA/cm² on textured surface with silicon nitride
passivation in industrial cycle times. Hence, the combination of both—POCl3 diffusion with in-situ oxidation and
laser doping—is very interesting. We examine four different POCl3 diffusions with in-situ oxidation and one reference
POCl3 diffusion without in-situ oxidation in terms of their suitability for selective emitter laser doping. Detailed
characterizations of the grown layers on the silicon surface are performed after diffusion with respect to the individual
layer thicknesses of the phosphosilicate glass (PSG) and the intermediate silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer as well as the
stacks’ total phosphorus doses. The as-diffused depth-dependent charge carrier concentration profiles show that a
second PSG deposition step attached after drive-in to the diffusion processes hardly impacts their course. We find
that POCl3 diffusions with in-situ oxidation—especially those with second deposition step—allow for effective laser
doping. Thereby, the intermediate SiO2 layer thickness plays a key role: the thicker the layer is the less phosphorus can
be incorporated additionally from the PSG layer into the silicon.

A stochastic space-time model for intermittent precipitation occurrences

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Modeling a precipitation field is challenging due to its intermittent and highly scale-dependent nature. Motivated by the features of high-frequency precipitation data from a network of rain gauges, we propose a threshold space-time $t$ random field (tRF) model for 15-minute precipitation occurrences. This model is constructed through a space-time Gaussian random field (GRF) with random scaling varying along time or space and time. It can be viewed as a generalization of the purely spatial tRF, and has a hierarchical representation that allows for Bayesian interpretation. Developing appropriate tools for evaluating precipitation models is a crucial part of the model-building process, and we focus on evaluating whether models can produce the observed conditional dry and rain probabilities given that some set of neighboring sites all have rain or all have no rain. These conditional probabilities show that the proposed space-time model has noticeable improvements in some characteristics of joint rainfall occurrences for the data we have considered.

description: Social botnets have become an important phenomenon on social media. There are many ways in which social bots can disrupt or influence online discourse, such as, spam hashtags, scam twitter users, and astroturfing. In this paper we considered one specific social botnet in Twitter to understand how it grows over time, how the content of tweets by the social botnet differ from regular users in the same dataset, and lastly, how the social botnet may have influenced the relevant discussions. Our analysis is based on a qualitative coding for approximately 3000 tweets in Arabic and English from the Syrian social bot that was active for 35 weeks on Twitter before it was shutdown. We find that the growth, behavior and content of this particular botnet did not specifically align with common conceptions of botnets. Further we identify interesting aspects of the botnet that distinguish it from regular users.

description: Photovoltaic electricity generation has reached a significant share on total electricity production in
several countries, already, due to a continuous decrease in production cost and increase in solar cell efficiency. The
present study combines both approaches. Upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) has been developed as an
alternative to the standard polysilicon (poly-Si) feedstock being cheaper in production and investment cost. With a
significantly lower carbon footprint. Metal catalyzed chemical etching (MCCE) forms a nano-texture on the wafer
surface shown to increase the efficiency in the solar cells. The MCCE process has been applied to wafers made of
UMG-Si produced by Silicio Ferrosolar (CS-SiliconTM). In the case of Ag-MCCE process, the etching behavior of
multicrystalline UMG-Si wafers was almost the same as that of the mc-Si wafers made of poly-Si. MCCE-textured
UMG-Si solar cells showed an efficiency gain of 0.37%-0.48% absolute over the standard acidic textured ones, and the
champion cell reaches an efficiency of 19.2%. The efficiency increase in nano-textured cells is related to an improved
light absorption, a flatter emitter and a better contact formation in. Both, efficiency gain through MCCE texture and
absolute cell efficiency are the same for UMG-Si cells and poly-Si reference cells within the statistical relevance.

description: The global bifurcation diagrams for two different one-parametric perturbations ($+λx$ and $+λx^2$) of a dissipative scalar nonautonomous ordinary differential equation $x'=f(t,x)$ are described assuming that 0 is a constant solution, that $f$ is recurrent in $t$, and that its first derivative with respect to $x$ is a strictly concave function. The use of the skewproduct formalism allows us to identify bifurcations with changes in the number of minimal sets and in the shape of the global attractor. In the case of perturbation $+λx$, a so-called global generalized pitchfork bifurcation may arise, with the particularity of lack of an analogue in autonomous dynamics. This new bifurcation pattern is extensively investigated in this work.

description: The interplay between the thermal transport property and the topological aspect is investigated in a spin-triplet chiral p-wave superconductor Sr2RuO4 with the strong two-dimensionality. We show the thermal Hall conductivity is well described by the temperature linear term and the exponential term in the low temperature region. While the former term is proportional to the so-called Chern number directly, the latter is associated with the superconducting gap amplitude of the gamma band. We also demonstrate that the coefficient of the exponential term changes the sign around Lifshitz transition. Our obtained result may enable us access easily the physical quantities and the topological property of Sr2RuO4 in detail.

and opimum reflectance between 15-17% was found. Furthermore, MCCE was combined with PERC structure, and
0.82% efficiency gain was found, 20.04% efficiency was achieved. It is found that the PERC structure performs better
with MCCE surface texture than with the conventional acid texture.There is still room for improving, and can be
expected for future mass production of multi-crystalline Silicon solar cells.

description: Based on the first-principles electronic structure calculations and subsequent symmetry adapted effective low-energy $\textbf{k.p}$ theory, we show the switching of the vector chirality, $κ$, in a noncollinear antiferromagnet (AFM), Mn$_3$Sn, as an unconventional route to topological phase transition from a nodal-ring to a Weyl point semimetal. Specifically, we find that the switching of $κ$ leads to gaping out an elliptic nodal-ring everywhere at the Fermi-level except for a pair of points on the ring. As a consequence, the topological phase transition switches the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) from zero to a giant value. Furthermore, we theoretically demonstrate how the controlled manipulation of the chiral AFM order keeping $κ$ unaltered favors unusual rotation of Weyl-points on the ring. This in turn enables us to tune in-plane components of the AHC by a collective uniform rotations of spins in the AFM unit cell.

description: Nonlinear and nonlocal effects are discussed in the interaction of laser fields with thermal Rydberg atoms in electromagnetically induced transparency configuration. We show that under the crucial approximation that the time variation in the dipole-dipole interactions due to atomic motions can be neglected in an ensemble average, an analytical form can be obtained for the nonlocal nonlinear atomic response of the thermal medium, and study it for different parameter cases. We further propose a generalized model to describe the modulational instability (MI) in absorptive nonlinear media, in order to understand the propagation dynamics in the thermal Rydberg medium. Interestingly, this model predicts that at short propagation distances, each wave component exhibits the MI effect in absorptive nonlinear media, unlike in the purely dispersive case.

of the rear side dielectric layer of n-PERT-RJ solar cell precursors. The linear fit of the experimental data yields different
values for the emitter recombination current density according to the ablation patterns and varied laser settings. We
quantified the damage on the laser treated surface by extraction of the laser ablation induced emitter recombination
current density (J0e-ablation) and found a decrease from 2200 fA/cm2 to 780 fA/cm2 in our experimental matrix. We also
monitored the impact on J0e induced by cleaning and metallization after the laser process. With the quantification of the
emitter surface recombination and Optical surface inspection, we improved our n-PERT-RJ solar cells with Alevaporated
rear contact to an efficiency of 20.8%.

description: It is well known that the interaction of quantum systems with the environment reduces the inherent quantum correlations. Under special circumstances the effect of decoherence can be reversed, for example, the interaction modeled by an amplitude damping channel can boost the teleportation fidelity from the classical to the quantum region for a bipartite quantum state. Here, we first show that this phenomena fails in the case of a quantum key distribution protocol. We further show that the technique of weak measurement can be used to slow down the process of decoherence, thereby helping to preserve the quantum key rate when one or both systems are interacting with the environment via an amplitude damping channel. Most interestingly, in certain cases weak measurement with post-selection where one considers both success and failure of the technique is shown to be more useful than without it when both systems interact with the environment.

description: The production of wafers from crystalline silicon for solar cells is increasingly realized by diamond
wire sawing. A steel core wire is used on which diamonds are fixed in a layer of nickel or resin. The cutting
efficiency of the wire is determined by the interplay of the material properties of the crystal that is cut, the cooling
fluid and the characteristics of the diamond grit on the wire. Hereby, the density of diamonds with respect to the wire
length, the shape of the diamonds and the grain size distribution of the diamonds are important. A new approach is
presented to remove diamonds from nickel bonded diamond wires and subsequently analyze their density and grain
size distribution. The gravimetrically determined mass of diamonds on the wire shows the same trend as the number
of diamonds counted manually on microscope images. Thus, a quality control of diamond wires prior to the wafering
process as well as a characterization of the wire wear during the cutting process becomes possible with higher
accuracy.

description: We report on a precision measurement of the $D$ line tune-out wavelength of $^{87}$Rubidium in the hyperfine ground state $|F=1, m_F=0,\pm1 \rangle$ manifold at 790 nm, where the scalar ac Stark shifts of the $D_1$ and the $D_2$ lines cancel. This wavelength is sensitive to usually neglected contributions from vector and tensor ac Stark shifts, transitions to higher principle quantum numbers, and core electrons. The ac Stark shift is probed by Kapitza-Dirac scattering of a Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice in free space and controlled magnetic environment. The tune-out wavelength of the magnetically insensitive $m_F=0$ state was determined to 790.01858(23) nm with sub pm accuracy. An in situ absolute polarization, and magnetic background field measurement is performed by employing the ac vector Stark shift for the $m_F=\pm 1$ states. Comparing our findings to theory, we get quantitative insight into atomic physics beyond commonly used two-level atom approximations or the neglect of inner shell contributions.

description: We present a detailed comparison of five inline-feasible hot spot detection and evaluation algorithms
that are tested at the hands of inline thermography measurements of 108 industrial monocrystalline silicon solar cells.
We evaluate the algorithms concerning their ability to predict the measured equilibrium temperature increases of the
reversely-biased solar cells from short-term measurements and compare the requirements of each method. Beyond
that, we apply and test for the first time a novel approach using the temporal evolution of the temperature of a hot
spot right after turning on a direct voltage, only needing a series of temperature-calibrated thermography images
(time series approach). We show that with the most accurate method of iterative convolution of power-calibrated
thermography images with temperature response functions, equilibrium temperature increases can be predicted with a
mean absolute error of only 3 K and a correlation coefficient of 0.90. Furthermore, relying both on similar physical
considerations, we find the new time-series approach and the temperature increase T(100 ms)-T(80 ms) in the shortterm
measurement to yield almost as accurate results (correlation coefficients of 0.86 and 0.87 respectively and mean
absolute error of 3.5 K for the time series approach), while implementation is less challenging for these.

description: this work, we combine experimental results and their simulation to investigate the phosphorus diffusion gettering (PDG) of chromium in multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si), in order to get an insight on the dominating gettering mechanism. We first performed experiments using sets of neighboring p-type mc-Si wafers underwent a surface cleaning followed by phosphorous diffusion to form n+ emitter. The diffusion process was carried out in a tube furnace by using liquid POCl3 as the phosphorus source in the temperature range 850-950°C. The samples were characterized mainly by using Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS), where the phosphorus and chromium profiles were determined. We then used software developed in our center to simulate the SIMS data and extract active phosphorus (Ps) and phosphorus-vacancy defects (P4V) profiles, as well as Cr-Ps and Cr-P4V concentrations. Based on a quantitative comparison between simulation and experimental findings, we adequately explained the dominating mechanism of Cr gettering in POCl3 emitter.

description: Globular clusters are ancient stellar populations with no star formation or core-collapse supernovae. Several lines of evidence suggest that globular clusters are rich in planets. If so, and if advanced civilizations can develop there, then the distances between these civilizations and other stars would be far smaller than typical distances between stars in the Galactic disk. The relative proximity would facilitate interstellar communication and travel. However, the very proximity that promotes interstellar travel also brings danger, since stellar interactions can destroy planetary systems. However, by modeling globular clusters and their stellar populations, we find that large regions of many globular clusters can be thought of as "sweet spots" where habitable-zone planetary orbits can be stable for long times. We also compute the ambient densities and fluxes in the regions within which habitable-zone planets can survive. Globular clusters are among the best targets for searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). We use the Drake equation to compare globular clusters to the Galactic disk, in terms of the likelihood of housing advanced communicating civilizations. We also consider free-floating planets, since wide-orbit planets can be ejected and travel freely through the cluster. A civilization spawned in a globular cluster may have opportunities to establish self-sustaining outposts, thereby reducing the probability that a single catastrophic event will destroy the civilization or its descendants. Although individual civilizations within a cluster may follow different evolutionary paths, or even be destroyed, the cluster may always host some advanced civilization, once a small number of them have managed to jump across interstellar space.

description: Chondrules represent one of the best probes of the physical conditions and processes acting in the early solar nebula. Proposed chondrule formation models are assessed based on their ability to match the meteoritic evidence, especially experimental constraints on their thermal histories. The model most consistent with chondrule thermal histories is passage through shock waves in the solar nebula. Existing models of heating by shocks generally yield a good first-order approximation to inferred chondrule cooling rates. However, they predict prolonged heating in the pre-shock region, which would cause volatile loss and isotopic fractionation, which are not observed. These models have typically included particles of a single (large) size, i.e., chondrule precursors, or at most, large particles accompanied by micron-sized grains. The size distribution of solids present during chondrule formation controls the opacity of the affected region, and significantly affects the thermal histories of chondrules. Micron-sized grains evaporate too quickly to prevent excessive heating of chondrule precursors. However, isolated grains in chondrule-forming regions would rapidly coagulate into fractal aggregates. Pre-shock heating by infrared radiation from the shock front would cause these aggregates to melt and collapse into intermediate-sized (tens of microns) particles. We show that inclusion of such particles yields chondrule cooling rates consistent with petrologic and isotopic constraints.

On the capabilities of survey telescopes of moderate size

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: To explore capabilities of moderate-size optical telescopes in surveys, the set of 9 new wide-field designs having apertures up to 1 m is considered. All but one systems have angular field of view in a range 3.5-10 degrees and flat focal surface; the field of the last system is 45 degrees in diameter at the 0.5 m aperture and spherical focal surface. The complete description of the optical layouts is given in the Appendix. Relations between the expected limiting magnitude, survey speed and exposure time allow to choose the system that is most suitable for a particular task of observations. In principle, a single wide-field telescope with the aperture of approximately 1 m can detect objects brighter than 22.5 magnitude over the entire hemisphere within one night, however, the reliability of acquired data can be significantly increased by using a hierarchic observational network comprised of telescopes with optimized parameters.

Heterojunction Solar Cells

description: 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 720-724
description: The efficiency of silicon heterojunction solar cells is limited by the parasitic absorption within the
intrinsic and doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers, hence minimizing their thickness by
simultaneously preserving the high-level passivation quality is crucial. The a-Si:H must withstand subsequent
processing steps, in particular the deposition of a transparent electrode. Here sputter deposition of transparent
conducting oxides (TCOs) is commonly the method of choice, since this well established technique can yield uniform
TCO layers with suitable electrical and optical properties. This paper aims at the design of a soft sputter deposition
process, which allows utilizing well established DC magnetron sputtering on top of ultrathin a-Si:H layers, without a
significant degradation of passivation quality. For this purpose, the influence of the a-Si:H thickness, the chamber
pressure and the applied power are reviewed for In2O3:Sn (ITO) deposition. As a simple approach to combine
excellent surface passivation, acceptable electrical TCO bulk properties and high throughput, an ITO double layer
stack, featuring a few nanometers thin softly deposited intermediate ITO layer below a high rate deposited thicker
ITO layer, is presented. Hereby the implied open-circuit voltage of test structures could be improved by almost
30 mV.

description: Multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers show degradation due to carrier injection. This carrier-induced degradation particularly limits the performance of passivated emitter rear cell (PERC) made with mc-Si and is, therefore, gaining increasing attention from the photovoltaic community, as it is expected that PERC architecture will become dominant in the near future. In this study, we investigated the degradation behaviour of mc-Si wafers with six different silicon nitride passivation layers which were then separately fired at six different peak temperatures (a matrix of 36 conditions). We found that wafers fired at a low peak temperature (< 650 °C) had similar degradation rates independent of the silicon nitride deposition conditions, whilst the degradation rate of samples fired at higher temperature showed a clear dependence on these conditions. At high firing temperatures normally used for contact formation, it appears that there is a correlation between the degradation rate and the amount of hydrogen released from the dielectric during firing. Furthermore, we verified that no degradation of the surface passivation quality occurs, indicating that the degradation is primarily associated with a bulk-related defect.

description: We extend the classical formulation of the dynamical friction effect on a test star by Chandrasekhar to the case of relativistic velocities and velocity distributions also accounting for post-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational force. The original kinetic framework is revised and used to construct a special-relativistic dynamical friction formula where the relative velocities changes in subsequent encounters are added up with Lorentz transformation and the velocity distribution of the field stars accounts for relativistic velocities. Furthermore, a simple expression is obtained for systems where the post-Newtonian correction on the gravitational forces become relevant even at non-relativistic particle velocities. Finally, using a linearized Lagrangian we derive another expression for the dynamical friction expression in a more compact form than that of Lee (1969). Comparing our formulation with the classical one, we observe that a given test particle suffers a slightly stronger drag when moving through a distribution of field stars with relativistic velocity distribution. Vice versa, a purely classical treatment of a system where post-Newtonian (PN) corrections should be included, over estimates the effect of dynamical friction at low test particle velocity, regardless of the form of velocity distribution. Finally, a first order PN dynamical friction covariant formulation is less strong than its classical counterpart at small velocities but much higher for large velocities over a broad range of mass ratios
