description: During the growth of silicon for photovoltaic applications, the melt can be deeply contaminated by carbon,
transported via gas atmosphere to the melt surface or already present in the initial feedstock. Preliminary investigations
have shown that gravity and melt convection are most likely determining the particles transport. However, the interaction
of such particles with the moving crystallization front and their incorporation into solid silicon are not yet fully
understood. Aim of this work is to study the interaction of impurities and defects like foreign phase particles during
silicon solidification in terrestrial experiments and in microgravity conditions during the TEXUS 51 flight mission. All
the samples were analyzed by infrared transmission microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The
concentration and spatial distribution of impurities and defects were determined and related to the growth process and the
gravity effect.

description: Quaternary mixed-metal chalcohalides (Sn$_2$BCh$_2$X$_3$) are emerging as promising lead-free perovskite-inspired photovoltaic absorbers. Motivated by recent developments of a first Sn$_2$BCh$_2$X$_3$-based device, we used density functional theory to identify lead-free Sn$_2$BCh$_2$X$_3$ materials that are structurally and energetically stable within Cmcm, Cmc2$_1$ and P2$_1$/c space groups and have a band gap in the range of 0.7 to 2.0 eV to cover out- and indoor photovoltaic applications. A total of 27 Sn$_2$BCh$_2$X$_3$ materials were studied, including Sb, Bi, In for B-site, S, Se, Te for Ch-site and Cl, Br, I for X-site. We identified 12 materials with a direct band gap that meet our requirements, namely: Sn$_2$InS$_2$Br$_3$, Sn$_2$InS$_2$I$_3$, Sn$_2$InSe$_2$Cl$_3$, Sn$_2$InSe$_2$Br$_3$, Sn$_2$InTe$_2$Br$_3$, Sn$_2$InTe$_2$Cl$_3$, Sn$_2$SbS$_2$I$_3$, Sn$_2$SbSe$_2$Cl$_3$, Sn$_2$SbSe$_2$I$_3$, Sn$_2$SbTe$_2$Cl$_3$, Sn$_2$BiS$_2$I$_3$ and Sn$_2$BiTe$_2$Cl$_3$. A database scan reveals that 9 out of 12 are new compositions. For all 27 materials, P2$_1$/c is the thermodynamically preferred structure, followed by Cmc2$_1$. In Cmcm and Cmc2$_1$ mainly direct gaps occur, whereas mostly indirects in P2$_1$/c. To open up the possibility of band gap tuning in the future, we identified 12 promising Sn$_2$B$_{1-{a}}$B$'_{a}$Ch$_{2-{b}}$Ch$'_{b}$X$_{3-{c}}$X$_{c}$ alloys which fulfill our requirements and additional 69 materials by combining direct and indirect band gap compounds.

description: In this paper, seven Czochralski (Cz) and one Float Zone p-type silicon materials are processed as
PERC solar cells in the Fraunhofer ISE PVTEC pilot line. In order to compare materials with different bulk
resistivities, the rear contact distance is varied in order to keep the spreading resistance in the same range. Asprocessed
and regenerated, energy conversion efficiencies between 20.5% and 21.0% are achieved. Within
processing and measurement accuracy, all materials performed on the same level when comparing the solar cell
conversion efficiencies. Implied open-circuit voltage samples revealed to be more sensitive to the material quality
than the solar cells and give some more details. Due to the small differences in the results, we will not provide a
ranking of the material tested in this paper. However, all the materials tested here are capable of achieving at least an
efficiency of 20.7%, when applied in a PERC solar cell process.

description: The present work investigates the silica slip cast crucible’s role as a contamination source of
multicrystalline silicon during directional solidification. The diffusivity of iron in the crucible material and quartz glass
was quantified at three different temperatures (1100, 1200 and 1300 °C). Samples of quartz glass and samples of a
silica slip cast crucible were heat treated in contact with solid steel. The diffusion profile of iron in quartz glass was
obtained with line scans using an Electron Probe Micro Analyser. The diffusion profile of iron in the silica crucible
was obtained with Semi-quantitative X-ray mapping and image analysis. The concentration profiles of iron were fit to
the solution of the diffusion equation and the temperature independent diffusion coefficients could also be obtained.
The diffusivity of iron in both the crucible and quartz glass increased with temperature and the diffusivity was higher
in the porous crucible material than in the denser quartz glass. The temperature independent diffusion constants and
activation energies were estimated to be 1,12*10-4 cm2/s and 1,52 eV for the crucible, respectively, and 8,1*10-5 cm2/s
and 1,8 eV for the quartz glass, respectively. These results indicate that the impurity transport is strongly dependent on
the crucible structure. The estimated transport parameters of iron through the crucible material were applied in a
numerical model that predicts the contamination of silicon during directional solidification.

description: In our previous works the possibility of growing silicon rods suitable for FZ process was shown,
however, the use of the high-energy process such as electron beam melting (EBM) may lead to generation of
impurities which substantially reduce the efficiency of solar cells. EBM grown rods were recrystallized with FZ. Due
to FZ process purity all impurities are relied to EBM process and rod growth. FTIR was used to conrtol levels of
impurities. Slight removal of phosphorus and the generation of boron and aluminium were noticed. The level of
contamination is hundreds of ppta and is not crucial for the quality of the single crystals used in solar energy. The
attempt to reliably examine the level of other impurities with GDMS analysis has failed due to insignificant quantities
of impurities and the high resistance of the monitored sample. High lifetime at the end of the grown single crystal
indirectly evidences of the absence of significant contaminations. Thus, single crystals obtained utilising the
described technical processes are a promising material for the production of highly-efficient solar cells.

description: A giant planet creates a gap in a protoplanetary disk, which might explain the observed gaps in protoplanetary disks. The width and depth of the gaps depend on the planet mass and disk properties. We have performed two--dimensional hydrodynamic simulations for various planet masses, disk aspect ratios and viscosities, to obtain an empirical formula for the gap width. The gap width is proportional to the square root of the planet mass, -3/4 power of the disk aspect ratio and -1/4 power of the viscosity. This empirical formula enables us to estimate the mass of a planet embedded in the disk from the width of an observed gap. We have applied the empirical formula for the gap width to the disk around HL~Tau, assuming that each gap observed by ALMA observations is produced by planets, and discussed the planet masses within the gaps. The estimate of planet masses from the gap widths is less affected by the observational resolution and dust filtration than that from the gap depth.

description: Upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) was developed using two different metallurgical
routes and used in the fabrication of solar cells. For that purpose, metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si) was purified by
the vacuum degassing (VD) technique. However, solar cells made with this polycrystalline material have poor
efficiency due to grain boundary defects. Thus, monocrystalline ingots were growth by the Czochralski (CZ)
technique to get monocrystalline wafers, free of grain boundaries. The combined VD with CZ growth routes provided
UMG-Si with 99.999% purity and conventional p-n silicon solar of 13% efficiency.

description: We investigate the coherent dynamics of a non-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a system consisting of two bosonic reservoirs coupled via a spatially localized mode. We describe this system by a two-terminal Fano-Anderson model and investigate analytically the time evolution of observables such as the bosonic Josephson current. In doing so, we find that the Josephson current sensitively depends on the on-site energy of the localized mode. This facilitates to use this setup as a transistor for a Bose-Einstein condensate. We identify two regimes. In one regime, the system exhibits well-behaved long-time dynamics with a slowly oscillating and undamped Josephson current. In a second regime, the Josephson current is a superposition of an extremely weakly damped slow oscillation and an undamped fast oscillation. Our results are confirmed by finite-size simulations.

capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics at different temperatures and frequencies. From various places along the
diagonal of SC’s substrate five pieces with an area ~20 mm2 were cleaved and studied. I-DLTS spectra of each of the

description: With the growing amount of inappropriate content on the Internet, such as pornography, arises the need to detect and filter such material. The reason for this is given by the fact that such content is often prohibited in certain environments (e.g., schools and workplaces) or for certain publics (e.g., children). In recent years, many works have been mainly focused on detecting pornographic images and videos based on visual content, particularly on the detection of skin color. Although these approaches provide good results, they generally have the disadvantage of a high false positive rate since not all images with large areas of skin exposure are necessarily pornographic images, such as people wearing swimsuits or images related to sports. Local feature based approaches with Bag-of-Words models (BoW) have been successfully applied to visual recognition tasks in the context of pornography detection. Even though existing methods provide promising results, they use local feature descriptors that require a high computational processing time yielding high-dimensional vectors. In this work, we propose an approach for pornography detection based on local binary feature extraction and BossaNova image representation, a BoW model extension that preserves more richly the visual information. Moreover, we propose two approaches for video description based on the combination of mid-level representations namely BossaNova Video Descriptor (BNVD) and BoW Video Descriptor (BoW-VD). The proposed techniques are promising, achieving an accuracy of 92.40%, thus reducing the classification error by 16% over the current state-of-the-art local features approach on the Pornography dataset.

description: Over the past 10 years, average PV cell efficiencies (multi/mono) have improved by ~ 3-5% absolute from about 15-18% on volume
weighted average basis to about 18-23%, and costs at the cell level have been reduced by over a factor of 10. This has been driven by improvements
in wafer quality, cell design and technologies, economies of scale and manufacturing equipment and processes. The need for high minority carrier
lifetime in wafers historically has been limited due to the quality of the cell processing steps and the success of gettering techniques developed to
improve poor quality material. However, with recent trends in moving advanced PV cell concepts (PERC-family, hetero- or tunnel-junction, etc.)
into production, and continued growth of current high-efficiency solar cell production (IBC, HIT), wafer quality and specifically minority carrier
lifetime may now be a limiting factor for further improvement of the cell efficiency. In the near future, wafer quality will become more important to
fully exploit the current state-of-the-art technologies, and implementing even more advanced solar cell designs. Mono-crystalline wafers produced
using the Float Zone (FZ) process are known to provide the highest lifetimes, but have so far been too expensive to produce. An innovative
technology to produce cost-effective FZ wafers is being introduced in this paper. A pilot production line is currently being set up by Ubiquity Solar,
USI, in Canada, to produce n- and p-type ingots and wafers.

description: In this work we present the latest results on large area interdigitated back contact (IBC) Zebra cells. Within the framework of the European FP7 HERCULES project, we demonstrated the transfer and scaling-up of our IBC ZEBRA cell process to the pilot line production and fabricate more than 1100 solar cells for the industrial feasibility of the processes and for modules demonstration. The solar cells were fabricated in several batches at the ISC-Konstanz R&D laboratory. The n-type Cz Si wafers were provided by the project partner NorSun AS, with additional commercial reference n-type Cz wafers added as process control. It was found that the efficiency results depend on wafers supplier, with median of 21.1 % for NorSun material and 21.4 % for the reference material.
In order to maximize the efficiency of ZEBRA cells in a pilot line production we investigated the effect that silicon material quality and resistivity variation occurring along the entire n-type Cz ingot have on cell performance. In addition, we studied the stability of the process on different wafer thickness.

description: Resonant tunneling transport in polar heterostructures is intimately connected to the polarization fields emerging from the geometric Berry-phase. In these structures, quantum confinement results not only in a discrete electronic spectrum, but also in built-in polarization charges exhibiting a broken inversion symmetry along the transport direction. Thus, electrons undergo highly asymmetric quantum interference effects with respect to the direction of current flow. By employing doping to counter the broken symmetry, we deterministically control the resonant transmission through GaN/AlN resonant tunneling diodes and experimentally demonstrate the recovery of symmetric resonant tunneling injection across the noncentrosymmetric double-barrier potential.

description: With the aim of developing green synthetic protocols for the photooxygenation of hydrophobic molecules in water, a combination of supramolecular and photo-chemistries was exploited. The photochemical synthesis of aromatic endoperoxides is a very well-known and established procedure for the storage of molecular oxygen to be exploited in situ in biological applications. In fact, the mechanism bringing to the formation of this bridge is reversible and tunable, enabling the release of molecular oxygen or reactive oxygen species (ROS) according to the molecular structure. We optimized the photochemical synthesis of selected aromatic endoperoxides in organic solvents in the presence of a photosensitizer, i.e. Methylene Blue (MB), catalyzing the covalent link of singlet oxygen (1O2) onto the aromatic backbone. The same reaction was then translated to aqueous environment after inclusion complexation of the substrates and MB in a cyclodextrin-based polymeric network. The same performance was achieved in the same reaction conditions, allowing the application of a greener procedure for upscaling. The release of 1O2 and ROS was achieved by thermolysis of the formed endoperoxide bridges irrespectively of the environment in which they were obtained and subsequently heated. These preliminary results pave the way for future development of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in hypoxic conditions, i.e. when inside solid cancer cells it is not achieved an adequate supply of O2, reducing the standard PDT efficacy.

description: Considering C$_{60}$ as a model system for describing field emission from the extremity of a carbon nanotip, we explore electron emission from this fullerene excited by an intense, near-infrared, few-cycle laser pulse ($10^{13}$-$10^{14}~{\rm W/cm}^2$, 912 nm, 8-cycle). To this end, we use time-dependent density functional theory augmented by a self-interaction correction. The ionic background of C$_{60}$ is described by a soft jellium model. Particular attention is paid to the high energy electrons. Comparing the spectra at different emission angles, we find that, as a major result of this study, the photoelectrons are strongly peaked along the laser polarization axis forming a highly collimated electron beam in the forward direction, especially for the high energy electrons. Moreover, the high-energy plateau cut-off found in the simulations agrees well with estimates from the classical three-step model. We also investigate the build-up of the high-energy part of a photoelectron spectrum by a time-resolved analysis. In particular, the modulation on the plateau can be interpreted as contributions from intracycle and intercycle interferences.

description: We use the renormalization group theory to study the directed bond percolation (Gribov process) near its second-order phase transition between absorbing and active state. We present a numerical calculation of the renormalization group functions in the $ε$-expansion where $ε$ is a deviation from the upper critical dimension $d_c = 4$. Within this procedure anomalous dimensions $γ$ are expressed in terms of irreducible renormalized Feynman diagrams and thus the calculation of renormalization constants could be entirely skipped. The renormalization group is included by means of the $R$ operation, and for computational purposes we choose the null momentum subtraction scheme.

description: The efficiency of all-back-contact (ABC), single-crystalline, silicon solar cells has increased steadily
since Lammert and Schwartz introduced their novel interdigitated-back-contact design in 1975 [1]. This work
explores the impact of high-temperature operation and absorption-layer thickness on performance by means of device
simulations in Silvaco® AtlasTM. We begin by establishing a benchmark model that matches the experimentally
derived parameters of a physical solar cell. Then, we alter the model to determine the optimum absorption-layer
thickness as well as the cell’s performance at various temperatures. Finally, we combine both variables to simulate an
optimally thin silicon ABC cell at elevated temperature in order to derive realistic performance characteristics for
comparison.

description: The nearby spiral galaxy NGC 3147 hosted three Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the past decades, which have been subjects of intense follow-up observations. Simultaneous analysis of their data provides a unique opportunity for testing the different light curve fitting methods and distance estimations. The detailed optical follow-up of SN 2021hpr allows us to revise the previous distance estimations to NGC 3147, and compare the widely used light curve fitting algorithms to each other. After the combination of the available and newly published data of SN 2021hpr, its physical properties can be also estimated with higher accuracy. We present and analyse new BVgriz and Swift photometry of SN 2021hpr to constrain its general physical properties. Together with its siblings, SNe 1997bq and 2008fv, we cross-compare the individual distance estimates of these three SNe given by the SALT code, and also check their consistency with the results from the MLCS2k2 method. The early spectral series of SN 2021hpr are also fit with the radiative spectral code TARDIS in order to verify the explosion properties and constrain the chemical distribution of the outer ejecta. After combining the distance estimates for the three SNe, the mean distance to their host galaxy, NGC 3127, is 42.5 $\pm$ 1.0 Mpc, which matches with the distance inferred by the most up-to-date LC fitters, SALT3 and BayeSN. We confirm that SN~2021hpr is a Branch-normal Type Ia SN that ejected $\sim 1.12 \pm 0.28$ M$_\odot$ from its progenitor white dwarf, and synthesized $\sim 0.44 \pm 0.14$ M$_\odot$ of radioactive $^{56}$Ni.

description: One of the major lines of solar energy development is the creation of environmentally friendly,
wasteless and cheap solar-grade silicon production technology.
Currently the main silicon production technologies are based on reduction of silicon from hydrogen and
chlorides: trichlorosilane, tetrachlorosilane, monosilane. These technologies use harmful and potentially
dangerous compounds in quantity. These productions can be profitable only at big volumes.
One of the research directions in the field of chlorine-free technology for solar-grade silicon production is the
method of plasma-chemical purification of metallurgical-grade silicon. This environmentally friendly, power
efficient, scalable method allows to avoid application of chlorine-containing compounds. However, it is difficult
to describe the processes in silicon melt by simple heat- and mass exchange equations.
The paper presents the results of mathematical modeling of silicon purification process using the method of melt
plasma-chemical treatment by directed arc discharge in argon atmosphere, containing water vapor impurities.

This package contains different software packages, e.g., the version of ExplorViz which was used in the study, that are packaged as Docker Images. We provide different Docker Compose that can be used to start a software package. To start a Docker Compose file and its referenced software, navigate with your command line to the folder that contains the corresponding file and enter docker compose up -d. The Docker Compose file includes potential host ports that are being redirected to potential ports inside of the Docker container, therefore the executed software. For example, LimeSurvey is configured to use the host's port 8082. As a result, it should be accessible under http://localhost:8082. The study was conducted in German language. Therefore, the questionnaire also poses questions that are written in German. We have translated the quantitative and qualitative results of our user study into English. Despite being compressed, the size of the video recordings is 37 GB. As a result, we outsourced all recordings so that they are accessible under https://zenodo.org/record/6795918.

description: We consider the problem of identifying a mixture of Gaussian distributions with the same unknown covariance matrix by their sequence of moments up to certain order. Our approach rests on studying the moment varieties obtained by taking special secants to the Gaussian moment varieties, defined by their natural polynomial parametrization in terms of the model parameters. When the order of the moments is at most three, we prove an analogue of the Alexander–Hirschowitz theorem classifying all cases of homoscedastic Gaussian mixtures that produce defective moment varieties. As a consequence, identifiability is determined when the number of mixed distributions is smaller than the dimension of the space. In the two-component setting, we provide a closed form solution for parameter recovery based on moments up to order four, while in the one-dimensional case we interpret the rank estimation problem in terms of secant varieties of rational normal curves.
