description: Polycrystalline Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were electrodeposited on Mo and F:SnO2/Glass
substrates at room temperature by single step method followed by annealing. The effect of initial molar concentration
of Cu-, Zn- and Sn- as metal complexes as well as that of annealing was investigated in this study. The under
potential deposition of CZTS from the mixed complexes has shown to have a great influence of initial concentration
on the phase purity of as-prepared films. The kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 phase with preferred orientation along the (112)
crystal direction and direct band gap of 1.55eV grew to larger extent upon annealing of the Sn-riched as-deposited
film at 500 °C under Ar-atmosphere.

description: This paper present a method for growing thin films of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) using a new solution-based
chemical route consisting in sequential deposition of Cu2SnS3 (CTS) and ZnS films followed by annealing in sulfur
atmosphere. The CTS compound is prepared in one step using a novel procedure consisting of simultaneous
precipitation of Cu2-xS and SnS performed by diffusion membranes assisted CBD technique. Diffusion membranes
are used to optimize the kinetic growth through a moderate control of the release of metal into the solution by
osmosis. The conditions in terms of concentration of metal species, sulphide anion and temperature required for the
precipitation of the Cu2SnS3 compound were determined through a study of chemical equilibrium of the systems
(SnCl2 + Na3C6H5O7·2H2O) , CuCl2 and Na2S2O3·5H2O. These conditions were obtained solving the chemical
equilibrium equation using the Visual MINTEQ 3.0 package, supported on the program MINTEQA2.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the structural properties of the CZTS
films. Optical and morphological properties were also studied by spectral transmittance, AFM (Atomic Force
Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) measurements. XRD and Raman measurements showed that
films deposited using this new route present only the Cu2ZnSnS4 phase.

description: International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 352 to the Bonin forearc drilled the sequence of volcanic rocks erupted in the immediate aftermath of subduction initiation along the western margin of the Pacific Plate. Pristine volcanic glasses collected during this expedition were analyzed for major and trace elements, halogens, sulfur, and H and O isotopes with goals of characterizing the fluids and melts of subducted materials that were involved in generating the nascent upper plate crust. Incompatible trace element compositions of the oldest lavas (forearc basalts [FAB]) are similar to those of the most depleted mid-ocean ridge basalts globally. Most FAB were generated by decompression melting during seafloor spreading in a near-trench, supra-subduction zone environment with only minor involvement of diverse and generally dilute water-rich fluids from the subducting plate. Boninite series glasses are enriched in incompatible trace elements mobilized from the subducting plate, but strongly depleted in other elements, such as the middle-heavy rare-earth elements. These traits are attributed to generation of boninites largely by flux melting involving water-rich melts first derived from the leading edge of subducted basaltic crust and then from both subducted crust and sediment. These melts were generated at low pressures as the shallow, embryonic slab extracted heat from hot asthenosphere near the trench. The progressive depletion of the mantle source for the FAB-through-boninite sequence suggests that the asthenospheric mantle remained trapped above the nascent subducting plate for the first several million years of subduction beneath the Philippine Sea Plate.

description: In this work we report on the formation of Cu2ZnSn(Sx,Se(1-x))4 (CZTSSe) thin film absorbers from copper-zinc-tinsulfur
inks consisting of binary and ternary chalcogenide, SnS, ZnS and Cu3SnS4 (CTS), nanoparticles (NPs). All
binary and ternary NPs were synthesized in-house via a colloidal route. The chemical composition of the resulting
absorber layers can be controlled by varying the ratio of the NP precursors in the ink as well as the annealing
atmosphere. Both precursors and absorbers with different compositions were characterized by a variety of analytical
methods such as X-ray diffraction and modulated surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy. Modulated SPV
measurements were used for monitoring the photo-activity of the absorber layers. A strong increase of the SPV signal
with increasing selenium content in the CZTSSe layers was observed and correlated to the crystalline quality. Solar
cells with CdS buffer, ZnO window layer and Ni-Al grids were fabricated showing efficiencies as high as 3.0 % on
0.5 cm2 area.

description: We study the long-term behavior of the bright gamma-ray blazar PKS 0402-362. We collected approximately 13 years of Fermi-LAT data between Aug 2008 to Jan 2021 and identified three bright $γ$-ray activity epochs. The second was found to be the brightest epoch ever seen in this source. We observed most of the $γ$-ray flare peaks to be asymmetric in profile suggesting a slow cooling time of particles or the varying Doppler factor as the main cause of these flares. The $γ$-ray spectrum is fitted with PL and LP spectral models, and in both cases, the spectral index is very steep. The $γ$-ray spectrum does not extend beyond 10 GeV energy suggesting the emission is produced within the BLR. The absence of time lags between optical-IR and $γ$-ray suggest one zone emission model. Using the above information, we have modeled the broadband SED with a simple one-zone emission model using the publicly available code `GAMERA'. The particle distribution index is found to be the same as expected in diffusive shock acceleration suggesting it as the main mechanism of particle acceleration to very high energy up to 4 - 6 GeV. Throughout the various flux phases, we noticed that the optical emission is dominated by the thermal disk, suggesting it to be a good source to examine the disk-jet coupling. We postulate that the observed broadband flares could be linked with perturbation produced in the disk, which propagates to the jet and interacts with the standing shock. However, a more detailed examination is required.

description: In this paper, we focus on trajectories at intersections regulated by various regulation types such as traffic lights, priority/yield signs, and right-of-way rules. We test some methods to detect and recognize movement patterns from GPS trajectories, in terms of their geometrical and spatio-temporal components. In particular, we first find out the main paths that vehicles follow at such locations. We then investigate the way that vehicles follow these geometric paths (how do they move along them). For these scopes, machine learning methods are used and the performance of some known methods for trajectory similarity measurement (DTW, Hausdorff, and Fréchet distance) and clustering (Affinity propagation and Agglomerative clustering) are compared based on clustering accuracy. Afterward, the movement behavior observed at six different intersections is analyzed by identifying certain movement patterns in the speed- and time-profiles of trajectories. We show that depending on the regulation type, different movement patterns are observed at intersections. This finding can be useful for intersection categorization according to traffic regulations. The practicality of automatically identifying traffic rules from GPS tracks is the enrichment of modern maps with additional navigation-related information (traffic signs, traffic lights, etc.).

description: Polycrystalline tin sulfide thin films have been grown on glass substrates using a vapor phase procedure
involving chemical reactions between the precursor species evaporated simultaneously. The parameter that has been
controlled in the thin-film deposition process is the sulfur partial pressure, being constant the tin and sulfur source
temperature and the substrate temperature. This procedure has allowed to achieve thin tin sulfide layers with thickness in
the 100-150 nm range. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show a mixture of phases with the lower range of sulfur partial
pressure and a single SnS2 phase with our upper range. Compositions from Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays
(EDAX) also agree with this. The energy band gap was calculated from optical transmittance and reflectance
measurements in the range 300-1500 nm. The average transmittance in the visible region, increases with higher sulfur
partial pressure. The energy band gap raised from 1,7 to 2.5 eV as the sulfur partial pressure increased from 1*10-3 to
10*10-3 Pa.

description: Pluvial floods in urban areas are caused by local, fast storm events with very high rainfall rates, which lead to inundation of streets and buildings before the storm water reaches a watercourse. An increase in frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events and an ongoing urbanization may further increase the risk of pluvial flooding in many urban areas. Currently, warnings for pluvial floods are mostly limited to information on rainfall intensities and durations over larger areas, which is often not detailed enough to effectively protect people and goods. We present a proof-of-concept for an impact-based forecasting system for pluvial floods. Using a model chain consisting of a rainfall forecast, an inundation, a contaminant transport and a damage model, we are able to provide predictions for the expected rainfall, the inundated areas, spreading of potential contamination and the expected damage to residential buildings. We use a neural network-based inundation model, which significantly reduces the computation time of the model chain. To demonstrate the feasibility, we perform a hindcast of a recent pluvial flood event in an urban area in Germany. The required spatio-temporal accuracy of rainfall forecasts is still a major challenge, but our results show that reliable impact-based warnings can be forecasts are available up to 5 min before the peak of an extreme rainfall event. Based on our results, we discuss how the outputs of the impact-based forecast could be used to disseminate impact-based early warnings.

description: The Curie-Weiss model for quantum measurement describes the dynamical measurement of a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ by an apparatus consisting of an Ising magnet of many spins $\frac{1}{2}$ coupled to a thermal phonon bath. To measure the $z$-component $s=-l,-l+1,\cdots,l$ of a spin $l$, a class of models is designed along the same lines, which involve $2l$ order parameters. As required for unbiased measurement, the Hamiltonian of the magnet, its entropy and the interaction Hamiltonian possess an invariance under the permutation $s\to s+1$ mod $2l+1$. The theory is worked out for the spin-1 case, where the thermodynamics is analyzed in detail, and for spins $\frac{3}{2},2,\frac{5}{2}$ the thermodynamics and the invariance is presented.

description: Over the past few years pair coupled cluster doubles (pCCD) has shown promise for the description of strong correlation. This promise is related to its apparent ability to match results from doubly occupied configuration interaction (DOCI), even though the latter method has exponential computational cost. Here, by modifying the full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) algorithm to sample only the seniority zero sector of Hilbert space, we show that the DOCI and pCCD energies are in agreement for a variety of 2D Hubbard models, including for systems well out of reach for conventional configuration interaction algorithms. Our calculations are aided by the sign problem being much reduced in the seniority zero space compared with the full space. We present evidence for this, and then discuss the sign problem in terms of the wave function of the system which appears to have a simplified sign structure.

description: The influence of the replacement of LiI with tetra-n-alkyl-ammonium iodide in the
electrolyte solution on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) was investigated. Among three
different tetra-n-alkyl-ammonium iodides, tetra-n-heptyl-ammonium iodide (THAI) showed the most
significant improvement in the short-circuit current density (Jsc) with no decrease in the open-circuit voltage
(Voc) or fill factor (ff). Characterization by stepped light-induced measurement of photocurrent and voltage
(SLIM-PCB) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed a fairly large increase of
electron lifetime even as the electron density in the TiO2 photoelectrode and the ionic conductivity of the
electrolyte solution were almost constant, suggesting efficient suppression of backward electron transfer
from the TiO2 photoelectrode to the I3
- in the electrolyte solution. Finally, upon using the new electrolyte
solution composed of 0.05 M -I2, 0.075 M -LiI, 0.025 M -THAI, 0.6 M -1,2-dimethyl-3-
propylimidazolium iodide (DMPImI), and 0.3 M -4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) in acetonitrile, the efficiency
of DSCs using a light-confining and multilayered TiO2 photoelectrode with a dye cocktail of black dye and
D131 dye improved from 11.3% to 12% (Jsc = 24.3 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.72 V, ff = 0.69), which is one of the
best efficiencies obtained for black-dye-based DSCs.

description: The rare kaon decays $K\toπν\barν$ are strongly suppressed in the standard model and widely regarded as processes in which new phenomena, not predicted by the standard model, may be observed. Recognizing such new phenomena requires precise standard model prediction for the braching ratio of $K\toπν\barν$ with controlled uncertainty for both short-distance and long-distance contributions. In this work we demonstrate the feasibility of lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance contribution to rare kaon decays with the emphasis on $K^+\toπ^+ν\barν$. Our methodology covers the calculation of both $W$-$W$ and $Z$-exchange diagrams. We discuss the estimation of the power-law, finite-volume corrections and two methods to consistently combine the long distance contribution determined by the lattice methods outlined here with the short distance parts that can be reliably determined using perturbation theory. It is a subsequent work of our first methodology paper on $K\toπ\ell^+\ell^-$, where the focus was made on the $γ$-exchange diagrams.

description: NuCLR (Nuclear Co-Learned Representations) is a cutting-edge multi-task deep learning framework designed to predict essential nuclear observables, including binding energies, decay energies, and nuclear charge radii. As part of the REYES Mentorship Program, we investigated the application of dynamic loss weighting to further refine NuCLR’s predictive performance. Our findings indicate that while weighting strategies can enhance accuracy in specific tasks, such as binding energy prediction, they may underperform in others. Equal Weighting (EW), the original method employed by NuCLR, demonstrated consistent performance across multiple tasks, affirming its robustness. This report succinctly presents the developments and results of the mentorship program and outlines our anticipation for continued collaboration on this and related projects.

description: The world’s highest level of power conversion efficiency up to 9.0% was attained in polymer
photovoltaic modules. This value surpasses our previous world records of 6.8% and 8.2% that are listed in the latest
Solar Cell Efficiency Tables ver.41 and ver.42 [1]. The sizes of previous and current record modules are 396cm2 and
25cm2, respectively. For these achievements, three kinds of elementary technologies were developed; (1) meniscus
coating/patterning technology, (2) device optimizing technology and (3) original materials for the cells and the
modules. By the meniscus method, uniform thin layers of nano-scaled thickness are formed with thickness variation
less than 3%. Accurate patterning of the striped cell is also performed using plural split coating applicators, so that
highly integrated modules with the active/total area ratio up to 94% were fabricated without any scribing process. By
device simulation technology, various design parameters for modules were numerically optimized. Cell efficiency up
to 10.3% (1cm2) was obtained by our original donor polymer. We have also developed some prototypes for
electronics integrated photovoltaic (EIPV) mounted with our OPV (Organic photovoltaics), which can be driven by
the power generation under indoor lightings.

description: The mechanical analog to the topological insulators brings anomalous elastic wave properties which diversifies classic wave functions for potential broad applications. To obtain topological mechanical wave states with good quality at desired frequency ranges, it needs repetitive trials of different geometric parameters with traditional forward designs. In this work, we develop an inverse design of topological edge states for flexural wave using machine learning method which is promising for instantaneous design. Nonlinear mapping function from input targets to output desired parameters are adopted in artificial neural networks where the data sets for training are generated by the plane wave expansion method. Topological edge states are then realized and compared for different bandgap width conditions with such inverse designs, proving that wide bandgap can promote the confinement of the topological edge states. Finally, direction selective propagations with sharp turns are further demonstrated as anomalous wave behaviors. The machine learning inverse design of topological states for flexural wave provides an efficient way to design practical devices with targeted needs for potential applications such as signal processing, sensing and energy harvesting.

description: In the present work we tackle the issue of finding the most suitable back reflector design for thin film
Si solar cells grown on different front electrodes. Taking advantage of the tunable optoelectronic properties of mixedphase
silicon oxide (SiOx), in previous work the novel n-SiOx/Ag back reflector (BR) was introduced. Here, results
regarding an optimization approach towards improved reflectivity are reported. The application has been then
extended to micromorph solar cells grown on advanced front electrodes offering more efficient light scattering
(LPCVD ZnO:B and sputtered-etched ZnO:Al with single-scale and multi-scale texture). The comparison of the
n-SiOx/Ag, n-Si/ZnO/Ag, n-SiOx/ZnO/Ag (n-Si = standard n-type μc-Si:H) backside combinations confirms in all
cases the beneficial effect of n-SiOx. With the simple n-SiOx/Ag combination, generally a better bottom cell spectral
response is observed with respect to the baseline (n-Si/ZnO/Ag). Shunting issues in the bottom cell have been
however observed with Ag-based BRs in case of LPCVD ZnO front electrode. Still, the comparison with a white
paint BR design gives indication that attached BRs should be preferred for improved optical performance. Solutions
not affecting the electrical performance should be then investigated.

description: The origin of magnetic fields and their role in chemical spot formation on magnetic Ap stars is currently not understood. Here we contribute to solving this problem with a detailed observational characterisation of the surface structure of 45 Her, a weak-field Ap star. We find this object to be a long-period, single-lined spectroscopic binary and determine the binary orbit as well as fundamental and atmospheric parameters of the primary. We study magnetic field topology and chemical spot distribution of 45 Her with the help of the Zeeman Doppler imaging technique. Magnetic mapping reveals the stellar surface field to have a distorted dipolar topology with a surface-averaged field strength of 77 G and a dipolar component strength of 119 G - confirming it as one of the weakest well-characterised Ap-star fields known. Despite its feeble magnetic field, 45 Her shows surface chemical inhomogeneities with abundance contrasts of up to 6 dex. Of the four chemical elements studied, O concentrates at the magnetic equator whereas Ti, Cr and Fe avoid this region. Apart from this trend, the positions of Fe-peak element spots show no apparent correlation with the magnetic field geometry. No signs of surface differential rotation or temporal evolution of chemical spots on the time scale of several years were detected. Our findings demonstrate that chemical spot formation does not require strong magnetic fields to proceed and that both the stellar structure and the global field itself remain stable for sub-100 G field strengths contrary to theoretical predictions.

description: We present a disruptive mono-crystalline silicon based solar photovoltaic technology which
dramatically reduces cost, while providing very high efficiency, enhanced energy yield, and enabling capability for
lightweight flexible modules with reduced BOS costs. A 20.44 % efficiency cell on ~40 μm monocrystalline silicon
absorber is presented. The full-square cell substrate size is 243 cm2. The cell does not use expensive Ag matellization
or Cu plating metallization. It is manufactured using an inexpensive Al metallization structure. The technology
enables flexible cells and modules as well as the nimbleness to scale the cell voltage and current while delivering the
same high output power. Scaled down current and scaled up voltage compared to conventaional silicon cells enables
substantially reduced ohmic power dissipation loss in modules and installed PV systems, while paving the way for
larger substrate sizes and inexpensive embedded power electronics integrated within the cells and modules.

description: Thousands of transiting exoplanets have been discovered, but spectral analysis of their atmospheres has so far been dominated by a small number of exoplanets and data spanning relatively narrow wavelength ranges (such as 1.1 to 1.7 μm). Recent studies show that some hot-Jupiter exoplanets have much weaker water absorption features in their near-infrared spectra than predicted. The low amplitude of water signatures could be explained by very low water abundances, which may be a sign that water was depleted in the protoplanetary disk at the planet's formation location, but it is unclear whether this level of depletion can actually occur. Alternatively, these weak signals could be the result of obscuration by clouds or hazes, as found in some optical spectra. Here we report results from a comparative study of ten hot Jupiters covering the wavelength range 0.3-5 micrometres, which allows us to resolve both the optical scattering and infrared molecular absorption spectroscopically. Our results reveal a diverse group of hot Jupiters that exhibit a continuum from clear to cloudy atmospheres. We find that the difference between the planetary radius measured at optical and infrared wavelengths is an effective metric for distinguishing different atmosphere types. The difference correlates with the spectral strength of water, so that strong water absorption lines are seen in clear-atmosphere planets and the weakest features are associated with clouds and hazes. This result strongly suggests that primordial water depletion during formation is unlikely and that clouds and hazes are the cause of weaker spectral signatures.

A nearly constant CN/HCN line ratio in nearby galaxies: CN as a new tracer of dense gas

description: We investigate the relationship between CN N = 1 - 0 and HCN J = 1 - 0 emission on scales from 30 pc to 400 pc using ALMA archival data, for which CN is often observed simultaneously with the CO J = 1 - 0 line. In a sample of 9 nearby galaxies ranging from ultra-luminous infrared galaxies to normal spiral galaxies, we measure a remarkably constant CN/HCN line intensity ratio of 0.86 $\pm$ 0.07 (standard deviation of 0.20). This relatively constant CN/HCN line ratio is rather unexpected, as models of photon dominated regions have suggested that HCN emission traces shielded regions with high column densities while CN should trace dense gas exposed to high ultraviolet radiation fields. We find that the CN/HCN line ratio shows no significant correlation with molecular gas surface density, but shows a mild trend (increase of ~ 1.3 per dex) with both star formation rate surface density and star formation efficiency (the inverse of the molecular gas depletion time). Some starburst and active galactic nuclei show small enhancements in their CN/HCN ratio, while other nuclei show no significant difference from their surrounding disks. The nearly constant CN/HCN line ratio implies that CN, like HCN, can be used as a tracer of dense gas mass and dense gas fraction in nearby galaxies.

description: We obtain T--duality invariant second order differential equations satisfied by the $D^8\mathcal{R}^4$ and $D^{10} \mathcal{R}^4$ interactions from the low energy expansion of the one loop four graviton amplitude in toroidally compactified type II string theory. The eigenvalues of these equations are completely determined by the structure of the one loop integrands. Unlike the BPS interactions, these non--BPS interactions satisfy Poisson equations having source terms that receive contributions from both the bulk and boundary of the worldsheet moduli space. We explicitly solve these equations in nine dimensions.

description: Heavy-quark observables in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, like the nuclear modification factor and the elliptic flow, give insight into the mechanisms of high-momentum suppression and low-momentum thermalization of heavy quarks. Here, we present a global study of these two observables within a coupled approach of the heavy-quark propagation in a realistic fluid dynamical medium, MC@sHQ+EPOS2, and compare to experimental data from RHIC and LHC experiments. The heavy quarks scatter elastically and inelastically with the quasiparticles of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which are represented consistently with the underlying equation of state. We examine two scenarios: first, we interpret the lattice QCD equation of state as a sum of partonic and hadronic contributions, and second, as a gas of massive partonic quasiparticles. It is observed that independent of their momentum the energy loss of heavy quarks depends strongly on how the lattice QCD equation of state is translated into degrees of freedom of the QGP.

Hard-tail emission in the soft state of low-mass X-ray binaries and their relation to the neutron star magnetic field

description: Average hard-tail X-ray emission in the soft state of nine bright Atoll low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star (NS-LMXBs) are investigated by using the light curves of MAXI/GSC and Swift/BAT. Two sources (4U 1820$-$30 and 4U 1735$-$44) exhibit large hardness ratio (15--50 keV$/$2--10 keV: {\it HR} $>$ 0.1), while the other sources distribute at {\it HR} $\ltsim$ 0.1. In either case, {\it HR} does not depend on the 2--10 keV luminosity. Therefore the difference of {\it HR} is due to the 15--50 keV luminosity, which is Comptonized emission. The Compton cloud is assumed to be around the neutron star. The size of the Compton cloud would affect the value of {\it HR}. Although the magnetic field of NS-LMXB is weak, we could expect a larger Alfvén radius than the innermost stable circular orbit or the neutron star radius in some sources. In such cases, the accretion inflow is stopped at the Alfvén radius and would create relatively large Compton cloud. It would result in the observed larger Comptonized emission. By attributing the difference of the size of Compton cloud to the Alfvén radius, we can estimate the magnetic fields of neutron star. The obtained lower/upper limits are consistent with the previous results.
