description: This study focusses on the effect of sulphurization temperature on properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS). Cu-
Zn-Sn precursor films were co-electrodeposited using electrolyte containing salts of Cu, Zn and Sn and a complexing
agent (tri-sodium citrate) followed by sulphurization in inert atmosphere (Ar) at different temperatures ranging from
250oC to 600oC for 30 minutes. Samples sulphurized at these temperatures were characterized for structure, morphology
and composition. XRD and Raman spectroscopy suggested that, sample sulphurized at 500oC has a phase purity unlike
samples sulphurized at 450oC, 550oC and 600oC which showed peaks corresponding to CZTS phase along with some
impurity phases. SEM images for samples sulphurized at 450oC, 500oC, 550oC and 600oC indicated compact
morphology but, only the sample sulphurized at 500oC showed preferred composition for CZTS absorber material.
Structural, morphological, compositional studies suggested that, sample sulphurized at 500oC resulted in CZTS film
with characteristics for an absorber layer for thin film solar cell.

description: The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affected the way U.S. consumers purchased food. As U.S. households shifted away from full-service restaurant meals, they purchased more food and beverages at grocery stores and other food-at-home (FAH) establishments. Increased FAH spending was driven by higher spending on protein foods, fruits, vegetables, and other FAH (e.g., desserts, prepared meals and salads). However, these increases were uneven across food categories and subpopulations. This report uses the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey to examine food purchasing behaviors before (2016–19) and during the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020).

description: (Abridged). It has been recently shown that random motions of the neutral Hydrogen gas of the Triangulum galaxy (M33) exhibit a bisymmetric perturbation which is aligned with the minor axis of the galaxy, suggesting a projection effect. To investigate if perturbations in the velocity dispersion of nearby discs are comparable to those of M33, the sample is extended to 32 galaxies from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey and the Westerbork HI Survey of Spiral and Irregular Galaxies. We study velocity asymmetries in the disc planes by performing Fourier transforms of high-resolution HI velocity dispersion maps corrected for beam smearing effects, and measure the amplitudes and phase angles of the Fourier harmonics. We find strong perturbations of first, second and fourth orders. The strongest asymmetry is the bisymmetry, which is predominantly associated with the presence of spiral arms. The first order asymmetry is generally oriented close to the disc major axis, and the second and fourth order asymmetries are preferentially oriented along intermediate directions between the major and minor axes of the discs. These results are evidence that strong projection effects shape the HI velocity dispersion maps. The most likely source of systematic orientations is the anisotropy of velocities, through the projection of streaming motions stronger along one of the planar directions in the discs. Moreover, systematic phase angles of asymmetries in the HI velocity dispersion could arise from tilted velocity ellipsoids. We expect a larger incidence of correlation between the radial and tangential velocities of HI gas. Our methodology is a powerful tool to constrain the dominant direction of streaming motions and thus the shape of the velocity ellipsoid of HI gas, which is de facto anisotropic at the angular scales probed by the observations.

description: Photoluminescence imaging is considered as a valuable tool for the quality control of Cu(In,Ga)Se2
(CIGS) thin films due to a fast data acquisition and processing. However, the PL intensity can be affected by minority
carrier lifetimes and additionally by electric fields leading to a charge separation. Therefore, the interpretation of PL
measurements is not always straightforward. In this contribution, the interpretation of PL measurements is discussed
using complementary vibrating Kelvin probe measurements. It will be demonstrated that thermal ageing of CIGS thin
films (with a CdS buffer layer) leads to a reduction of the PL intensity and a change in a surface band-bending as
deduced from vibrating Kelvin probe measurements under illumination. It will be shown that 2D-maps of the work
function correlate well with images of the PL intensity. Furthermore, it has been found that etching away the CdS
buffer layer reduces the previously measured band-bending significantly pointing out the importance of the buffer
layer deposition process.

description: We report multistate optical switching among high-order bouncing-ball modes ("ripples") and whispering-gallerying modes ("petals") of exciton-polariton condensates in a laser-generated annular trap. By tailoring the diameter and power of the annular trap, the polariton condensate can be switched among different trapped modes, accompanied by redistribution of spatial densities and superlinear increase in the emission intensities, implying that polariton condensates in this geometry could be exploited for a multistate switch. A model based on non-Hermitian modes of the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation reveals that this mode switching arises from competition between pump-induced gain and in-plane polariton loss. The parameters for reproducible switching among trapped modes have been measured experimentally, giving us a phase diagram for mode switching. Taken together, the experimental result and theoretical modeling advances our fundamental understanding of the spontaneous emergence of coherence and move us toward its practical exploitation.

description: We have developed revolutionary novel and nonvacuum and low cost chemical molecular beam
deposition (CMBD) method in the atmospheric pressure gas flow for fabrication of II-VI binary, ternary and
multinary films. CdTe films with different compositions were fabricated by this CMBD method in the atmospheric
pressure hydrogen and argon flows using Cd and Te granules of 99.999% purity as precursors. The films were
deposited at the substrate temperature of 500 °C. The growth rate varied in the wide range of 0.2-30 Å / sec. The
composition of CdTe films were controlled by changing the molecular beam intensities (MBI) ratio of Cd and Te
(evaporated amount). Samples were deposited on glass substrates. Under atmospheric pressure hydrogen flow we
succeeded in obtaining stoichiometric (Cd / Te = 1.0) as well as p (Te rich)- and n-CdTe (Cd rich) films. The film
thickness was 1.5 μm. Surface morphology of CdTe films was examined by SEM. The as deposited films contain
high density and very well oriented cubic polycrystalline grains with the average grain size of 8 – 10 μm at high
growth rates of 20- 30 Å / sec and nanocrystalline films at low growth rates of 0.2- 1 Å / sec.

description: This study reports the synthesis and characterization of Cu-poor/Zn-rich CZTS as a function of sulphur
content in order to improve the homogeneity and the quality in CZTS film formation. The absorber layers were
produced using a two-stage process. The first stage involved the sputter deposition of metallic Cu-Zn-Sn precursors
followed by the evaporation of a sulphur capping film. The second stage involved the conversion of the precursor
stacks to the kesterite absorber layer by heating the samples in a tube furnace under argon ambient. Scanning Electron
Microscopy together with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy was used to determine composition and
morphology, whilst phase characterization was carried out using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction. Finally,
photo-electrochemical External Quantum Efficiency measurements were used to characterize the optoelectronic
response of the samples.The paper will show that the kesterite formation, its composition and the uniformity of the
conversion are strongly dependent on the sulphur location, sulphur quantity and the internal geometry of the graphite
box used to contain the samples during conversion.

In particular, we present asymptotic results (such as $Γ$-convergence, energy bounds and density estimates for level sets), flatness and rigidity results, and the construction of planelike minimizers in periodic media. Finally, we consider a nonlocal equation with a multiwell potential, motivated by models arising in crystal dislocations, and we construct orbits exhibiting symbolic dynamics, inspired by some classical results by Paul Rabinowitz.

were measured on a Cu1.95Zn1.1Sn0.96Se4 (CZTSe) single phase powder at different modulation frequencies,

temperature and modulation frequency. A band of acceptor states with an energy of 65 meV above the valence band
edge was observed and the disorder in the bulk of Cu1.95Zn1.1Sn0.96Se4 crystallites is described by band tails with a tail
parameter of 30 meV. It was shown that the band gap of Cu1.95Zn1.1Sn0.96Se4 crystallites can be obtained from the
spectra of the parameters of the fits of SPV transients by stretched exponentials (1.00 eV at -80°C).

description: Fabrication of CZTS film is proposed through non-hydrazine based dip coating technique. To obtain
uniform, phase pure CZTS film, effects of annealing atmosphere and stabilizing agent Triethanolamine (TEA) on
synthesis of CZTS thin film are investigated. Phase formation of CZTS films as well as mechanism behind reduction
of voids and porosity in the film in presence of TEA is investigated. The complex formation of metal chlorides with
methanol and the decomposition of Thiourea is discussed. X-Ray diffraction pattern and Raman spectra revealed the
formation of kesterite structure of CZTS. SEM micrograph of CZTS film using TEA confirms the formation of less
porous and more compact film. No significant change has been observed in morphology and composition of films
annealed in N2 atmosphere and in presence of elemental sulfur with N2 as carrier gas which inferred that a simple
nitrogen annealing itself is sufficient instead of a complex and harmful sulfurization process for the synthesis of
uniform CZTS thin film.

description: Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) thin films were grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method on glass
substrates. The as-deposited films experienced heat treatment in N2, N2-O2 and H2. Characterization methods such as
XRD, SEM, XPS, UV-Visible transmission test and dark electrical conductivity-temperature test were employed to study
the properties of the CdS thin films. The analysis shows that preferential orientation in (220), (400) direction and grain
size of the CdS thin films depend on the treatment method. Whether CdCO3, CdNO3, CdO and CdSO4 exist on surface of
the CdS film depend on the post-processing as well. The band gap of as-deposited CdS films is 2.44 eV and decreased to
2.27 eV, 2.28 eV and 2.34 eV after treatment in N2, N2-O2 and H2, respectively. The results show that electrical
conductivity activation energy of CdS thin film decreased from 0.17 eV to 0.07 eV when treated in H2. CdTe solar cells
were also fabricated to show the influence of N2-O2 treatment on device performance.

description: The degradation mechanism of unencapsulated Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells on exposure to air has
been investigated. Exposure to air at room temperature slightly reduces the conversion efficiency of CIGS solar cells.
However, this conversion efficiency decreases significantly under damp heat testing at 85 °C and 85% relative
humidity for several hours. The shunt resistance and conversion efficiency are completely recovered after removing
the side edges of the CIGS solar cells by mechanical scribing. This result suggests that low-resistive layers are
formed on the sidewalls of the solar cells during damp heat testing. The low-resistive layers on the sidewalls are
identified to be molybdenum oxides and sodium molybdate by Auger electron spectroscopy. After etching the oxides
on the sidewalls by alkaline solution, the saturation current density and ideality factor are confirmed to be improved.
These results suggest that metal oxides on the sidewalls of CIGS solar cells may act as recombination centers.

description: Generalized quantum master equations (GQMEs) are an important tool in modeling chemical and physical processes. For a large number of problems it has been shown that exact and approximate quantum dynamics methods can be made dramatically more efficient, and in the latter case more accurate, by proceeding via the GQME formalism. However, there are many situations where utilizing the GQME approach seems to offer no advantage over a direct evaluation of the property of interest. Here we provide a more detailed understanding of the conditions under which these methods will offer benefits. In particular, we derive exact expressions for the memory kernel for systems both in and out of equilibrium, and show the conditions under which these expressions will be guaranteed to return a result identical to that obtained from direct simulation. We also show the conditions which approximate methods must satisfy if they are to offer different results when used in conjunction with the GQME formalism. These exact analytical results thus provide new insights as to when proceeding via the GQME approach can improve the accuracy or efficiency of simulations.

Creators: name: Capistrano, Andrew
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2024

description: The Washington Conference (1921-1922) produced several major treaties redefining relations between Britain, Japan, the US, and China. Japanese historians generally characterize these treaties as forming an interlocking and mutually reinforcing ‘Washington system’—based on regional Anglo-American-Japanese cooperation and a multilateral ‘open door’ policy in China—which replaced the prewar diplomatic system of alliances and ‘spheres of influence’. But because the Washington system literature tends to focus exclusively on US-Japan relations with respect to China, Britain’s role at the Conference remains unclear. In the standard view, building on the work of Akira Iriye, the Washington system originated from an ‘American initiative’ to replace the ‘old diplomacy’ in the Far East with ‘new diplomacy’. Some historians argue that Britain was an ‘imperialist’ power aligned with Japan in defense of the ‘old diplomacy’, while others suggest it was part of an Anglo-American combine to impose the ‘new diplomacy’ on Japan. However, most ignore Britain’s role altogether, citing a prominent critique by Ian Nish that British diplomats did not perceive the treaties as an interlocking and reinforcing ‘system’. This thesis examines British diplomacy before and during the Conference and provides a more nuanced characterization of the Washington system’s origins. It argues, first, that British diplomats had an incentive to let their US counterparts appear to lead the negotiations, which obscures how Britain acted as a mediator between the US and Japan and created the conditions for their rapprochement. Second, Britain viewed the Washington treaties as neither ‘old’ nor ‘new’, but rather as an updated—even improved —version of the prewar order adjusted to postwar conditions. Third, the Washington treaties were mutually reinforcing in the sense that none could have emerged in isolation without a wider multi-issue settlement. In fact, Britain more than any other power understood this factor. !

description: High aspect ratio CuNWs were synthesized using a one step solution based process, yielding an average wire length and diameter of 75 μm and 45 nm, respectively. In order to fabricate hybrid Transparent Conducting Electrodes (TCEs), layer of CuNWs was deposited onto glass and PET substrates using spray coating, along with the subsequent deposition of rGO and PEDOT:PSS layers, used to prevent NW oxidation and control the RMS roughness. The electrodes were later characterized for their morphological, optical and electrical properties using various sets of equipment. The fabricated hybrid films were eventually integrated within Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) as a counter electrode, which were later characterized for their performance using a solar simulator. According to the initial results gathered, an efficiency of 0.21% was noted in case of CuNW counter electrode based DSSCs.

description: Accelerating and colliding particles has been a key strategy to explore the texture of matter. Strong lightwaves can control and recollide electronic wavepackets, generating high-harmonic (HH) radiation which encodes the structure and dynamics of atoms and molecules and lays the foundations of attosecond science. The recent discovery of HH generation in bulk solids combines the idea of ultrafast acceleration with complex condensed matter systems and sparks hope for compact solid-state attosecond sources and electronics at optical frequencies. Yet the underlying quantum motion has not been observable in real time. Here, we study HH generation in a bulk solid directly in the time-domain, revealing a new quality of strong-field excitations in the crystal. Unlike established atomic sources, our solid emits HH radiation as a sequence of subcycle bursts which coincide temporally with the field crests of one polarity of the driving terahertz waveform. We show that these features hallmark a novel non-perturbative quantum interference involving electrons from multiple valence bands. The results identify key mechanisms for future solid-state attosecond sources and next-generation lightwave electronics. The new quantum interference justifies the hope for all-optical bandstructure reconstruction and lays the foundation for possible quantum logic operations at optical clock rates.

description: The innovative integrated microwave-steam sterilization method was developed to produce crude palm oil of excellent quality using low quality loose oil palm fruits. The technique involves enclosing the oil palm fruits under microwave irradiation, trapping the steam exiting the fruits due to vaporization, and using the steam to heat the same fruits, thereby enhancing the overall sterilization process. Moreover, a practical approach was developed to maximize process productivity and microwave absorbance by stacking oil palm fruits tightly in dielectric layers. The technique helped increased productivity, significant cost savings, and boosted oil value to facilitate post-processing in palm oil mills.

description: Entangled states are a crucial resource for quantum-based technologies such as quantum computers and quantum communication systems (1,2). Exploring new methods for entanglement generation is important for diversifying and eventually improving current approaches. Here, we create entanglement in atomic ions by applying laser fields to constrain the evolution to a restricted number of states, in an approach that has become known as "quantum Zeno dynamics" (3-5). With two trapped $^9\rm{Be}^+$ ions, we obtain Bell state fidelities up to $0.990^{+2}_{-5}$, with three ions, a W-state (6) fidelity of $0.910^{+4}_{-7}$ is obtained. Compared to other methods of producing entanglement in trapped ions, this procedure is relatively insensitive to certain imperfections such as fluctuations in laser intensity, laser frequency, and ion-motion frequencies.

description: 32nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1130-1135
description: In this work we propose a procedure for the calibration of slow responding PV devices which allows
for an accurate evaluation of their response time and, consequently, for a reliable calibration fulfilling all
requirements specified in the standards (IEC 60891 and IEC 60904 series). The application of this procedure to the
case of three dye-sensitized solar devices (one single cell and two mini-modules) is presented. The spectral
responsivity (SR) measurements were performed at 1 Hz chopping frequency. The low chopping frequency resulted
from an analysis of the device time response. To ensure reliable electrical characterization, current-voltage
measurements were performed using different sweep-times in both the forward and reverse direction. By comparing
these measurement results, a reliable evaluation of the appropriate sweep-time for I-V characterization was
determined. Combining appropriate SR and I-V measurements yielded a calibration of these devices according to the
IEC 60891 and IEC 60904 series of standards.

description: The purpose of the present experiment is to test whether when participants experience the pairings, they think that the pairings had an assimilative or a contrast effect on their evaluation of the CSs. We hope to obtain an assimilative effect that is as large as the effects we observed in most of our studies with this paradigm. We hope that by not asking participants explicitly about the evaluation of words that perform those roles we will obtain more sizable effects, as in our previous experiments.

description: Laser technology has been successfully applied for P2 patterning of CIGSe solar cells either for
modifying the layer composition (using ns pulses) or by layer ablation (using ps pulses). In this study, complementary
information on laser-induced damages of the CIGSe layer in the vicinity of the P2 laser scribe are revealed by
spatially and spectrally resolved photoluminescence (PL) and infrared illuminated lock-in thermography (LIT). The
results consistently show, that laser-induced damages deplete radiative recombination (detected by PL), while defectrelated
recombination and, thus, heat emission (detected by LIT) is enhanced. The derived heat-affected areas are
significantly larger than expected from inspections by optical microscopy. For the ps treatment the affected area is
even larger than for the ns treatment, due to a modification of the band structure and to thermal decomposition. From
this data, distinct insights into laser based material modifications and essential information for further minimization
of the dead area is obtained.
$BCCB$ complex Hadamard matrices of order 9, and MUBs

description: A new type of complex Hadamard matrices of order 9 are constructed. The studied matrices are symmetric, block circulant with circulant blocks ($BCCB$) and form an until now unknown non-reducible and non-affine two-parameter orbit. Several suborbits are identified, including a one-parameter intersection with the Fourier orbit $F_{9}^{(4)}$. The defect of this new type of Hadamard matrices is observed to vary, from a generic value 2 to the anomalous values 4 and 10 for some sub-orbits, and to 12 and 16 for some single matrices. The latter matrices are shown to be related to complete sets of MUBs in dimension 9.

Imaging rotating and orbiting exoplanets with the solar gravitational lens

description: We utilize the well-established properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) to consider realistic observational scenarios. Actual exoplanets, which may be the target of an SGL observational campaign, are not stationary. Their appearance changes as a result of their diurnal rotation and varying illumination due to their orbital motion around their host star. The nature of the SGL is such that imaging with one telescope is accomplished with a cadence of one pixel at a time, with substantial per-pixel integration times. Therefore, capturing a single snapshot of the target planet with a realistically-sized telescope is not possible. Instead, the planetary surface must be reconstructed by inverting the combined effect of the SGL's point-spread function and temporal changes induced by the planetary dynamics. Using the Earth as a stand-in, we demonstrate practical feasibility of this approach, by simulating a dynamical system and then recovering topographic images of acceptable quality. The dynamics-induced temporal variability of the exoplanet represents an added challenge, but even in the presence of such dynamics, use of the SGL for exoplanet imaging remains feasible.

description: The relation of the electrical transport properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films prepared by co-evaporation with
secondary phases formation was investigated trough measurements of photoconductivity and conductivity as a
function of the temperature. From temperature dependent electrical conductivity measurements it was found that at
temperatures greater than 600K, the electrical conductivity is dominated by band conduction and at lower
temperatures, Mott variable-range hopping (VRH) is observed. On the other hand, photocurrent studies revealed that
successive slow photoresponse transient following after a fast rise is due to the establishment of equilibrium between
the charge carriers in the conduction band and the trapping centers generated by native defects in the CZTS films.
By using the real part of Fourier transform, the experimental curves of photocurrent rise have been analyzed and time
constants and amplitudes were estimated.

Search for systemic mass loss in Algols with bow shocks

description: Aims. Various studies indicate that interacting binary stars of Algol type evolve non-conservatively. However, direct detections of systemic mass loss in Algols have been scarce so far. We study the systemic mass loss in Algols by looking for the presence of infrared excesses originating from the thermal emission of dust grains, which is linked to the presence of a stellar wind. Methods. In contrast to previous studies, we make use of the fact that stellar and interstellar material is piled up at the edge of the astrosphere where the stellar wind interacts with the interstellar medium. We analyse WISE W3 $12\,μ$m and WISE W4 $22\,μ$m data of Algol-type binary Be and B[e] stars and the properties of their bow shocks. From the stand-off distance of the bow shock we are able to determine the mass-loss rate of the binary system. Results. Although the velocities of the stars with respect to the interstellar medium are quite low, we find bow shocks present in two systems, namely $π$ Aqr, and $φ$ Per; a third system, CX Dra, shows a more irregular circumstellar environment morphology which might somehow be related to systemic mass loss. The properties of the two bow shocks point to mass-loss rates and wind velocities typical of single B stars, which do not support an enhanced systemic mass loss.

description: In this study, the back contact in Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS) solar cell was investigated as the origin of
the rollover effect, which is characterized as a distortion of current-voltage (JV) characteristics under illumination at
forward bias with saturating current at higher voltage. Presence of Schottky barrier between CIGS and Mo(S,Se)2/Mo
back contact in the solar cell with rollover JV was elucidated by the composition and the valence band energy
measured on the CIGS backside exposed by exfoliation. The device simulation using the obtained values confirmed
that the barrier at the back contact is responsible for the rollover. Furthermore, the impedance analysis clearly showed
the existence of the back diode in the equivalent circuit of the device. The circuit simulation illuminated that the
rollover is described as a distortion of JV curve due to the voltage distribution between the pn junction diode and the
back diode. By using JV characteristics of the back contact, a potential JV curve intrinsic to the pn junction was
derived. As a result, the cell with rollover JV was found to have similar or even higher potential performance as
compared with the one without rollover. It was also found that although the rollover was less apparent in the JV
curve, the device possibly holds a performance loss due to the back contact barrier.
