description: The report presents and original approach to modelling of the absorbers with the varying band gap. The
structures based on thin film multilayers of GaAs and AlnGa1-nAs with intentionally introduced variation of the band
gap are manufactured and experimentally investigated. It is demonstrated by the SEM analysis that the structure of
the stacked layers correspond to the intentional changes in the composition. The SPM experiments proved that the
variations of the local electrical potential and the tunnelling current in depth of the multi-layer structures reveal
electrical defects related to the junction formation. The typical solar cell parameters are shown to be dependent on the
construction of the model cells. The experimental results suggest that an increase in the short circuit current can be
obtained by specific construction of the cell with the gradually varying band gap while the open circuit voltage can be
increased by specific cascade type change in the band gap.

description: Omobrachyiulus cf. hortensis (Golovatch, 1981) Fig. 17B, C Material examined. Georgia: 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ (ZMUM), Mestia, 1500 m a.s.l., Betula, Rhododendron on moraine, litter and under stones, 5 and 15.IX.1986, SIG leg.; 1 ♂ (SMNG), Mestia, below Chalaadi Glacier, 43.1118°N, 42.7453°E, Abies nordmanniana and various deciduous trees, in leaf litter, 9.VI.2019, H. Reip leg. Remarks. The males in these two samples from Mestia differ from both the original description and drawings, and the currently studied material of O. hortensis by certain structural details of the opisthomere (Fig. 17C), viz., presence of a smaller or larger, pointed, anterior process and differently shaped mesal and median parts of the apical outgrowth of the basoposterior process (compare to Fig. 17A); as well as by a stouter, abruptly rather than gradually tapering, promere (Fig. 17B). While these specimens may represent a new, closely related species, we cannot exclude possibly intraspecific variations; the more so that there are no significant differences between the solenomere, the taxonomically most important structure in Julidae, in these two forms (compare s in Fig. 17A and Fig. 17C), while the promere and the anterior process of the opisthomere tend to be the most variable gonopodal structures within the Brachyiulini.

description: Bandgap engineering of strain-balanced InGaAs/GaAsP multiple quantum wells (MQWs) allows highquality
materials with an absorption edge beyond GaAs to be epitaxially grown in Ge/GaAs-based multijunction solar
cells. We demonstrate MQW solar cells with effective bandgaps ranging from 1.30 eV to as low as 1.15 eV. The
bandgap-voltage-offset of MQWs is found to be independent of effective bandgaps and superior to a bulk reference
by approximately 0.1 V. This implies the merit of high photovoltage as compared with bulk cells with the same
bandgap in addition to their widely bandgap-tunable property. Towards the realization of fully lattice-matched quadjunction
devices, we demonstrate a 70-period, 1.15-eV bandgap MQW cell as a promising material in
0.66/1.15/1.51/1.99-eV quad-junction cells, whose practical efficiency has a potential to achieve over 50%. With
such a high number of MQWs the reverse-biased external quantum efficiency reaches an average of over 60% in the
spectral region corresponding to a 1.15-eV subcell; this is achieved with only a-few-percent drop at short-circuit
condition. The device presented here reaches the target open-circuit voltage and over 75% of the current density
required for realizing a 1.15-eV subcell in a 50%-efficient quad-junction solar cell without any light-trapping
structures.

description: Due to a unique structure, a silicon nanowire matrix provides natural light trapping and anti-reflection
effects suitable for photovoltaic applications. Thus depositing thin film silicon directly on top of them and forming
radial junctions is a promising approach for a new generation of efficient solar cells. Apart from the light trapping,
their major advantage is decoupling of the light absorption from the carrier collection direction. This allows the use of
very thin active layer, providing more efficient collection in materials with low minority carrier diffusion lengths and
also minimizes the light-induced degradation. It has been found that the density of radial junctions is a very important
parameter for controlling the device performances. By optimizing the nanowire density, we have demonstrated 8.1 %
efficiency for PIN hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells deposited directly on the TCO coated glass
with only 100 nm of active layer thickness. We have adopted two different approaches to improve the short-circuit
current density and open-circuit voltage. Firstly, replacing n-type a-Si:H by more transparent amorphous silicon
oxide has enhanced the blue response of the solar cell. Secondly, we have shown that a p-type a-Si:H coating on the
crystalline silicon nanowire, before depositing the intrinsic layer, is very effective in reducing the nanowire surface
recombination and consequently increasing the open-circuit voltage.

description: Hydrogenated intrinsic amorphous silicon ((i) a-Si:H) layers deposited on n-type crystalline silicon
(c-Si) by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) are investigated during long-time thermal treatment
(100 h at 200°C) with regard to the depth profile of hydrogen in the a-Si layer and its diffusion into the c-Si bulk.
The morphology of the (i) a-Si:H is manipulated by the PECVD process parameters. A columnar and a non-columnar
growth can be distinguished. Microscopic investigations are carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Minority carrier lifetime (eff) measurements permit an evaluation of the surface passivation and thus the saturation of
defects like dangling bonds at the (i) a-Si:H/c-Si interface. A non-columnar structure leads to a high stability of the
passivation during thermal treatment of up to 100 h. In contrast a columnar structure of the amorphous silicon layer
results in a better but less stable passivation of the c-Si wafer surface. Microvoids in the columnar layer are the reason
for this behavior. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements confirm the formation of
microvoids, i. e. a high concentration of Si-H2 bonds. Investigating the changes in hydrogen depth profile by nuclear
resonant reaction analysis (NRRA) reveals a higher loss in hydrogen concentration during thermal treatment of the
(i) a-Si:H layers with columnar morphology. The hydrogen concentration profiles as measured by NRRA illustrate
the dependency of passivation quality with time on the specific morphology of different amorphous layers.

A hybrid multi-time-step framework for pore-scale and continuum-scale modeling of solute transport in porous media

description: In this paper, we propose a computational framework,which is based on a domain decomposition technique, to employ both finite element method (which is a popular continuum modeling approach) and lattice Boltzmann method (which is a popular pore-scale modeling approach) in the same computational domain. To bridge the gap across the disparate length and time-scales, we first propose a new method to enforce continuum-scale boundary conditions (i.e., Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions) onto the numerical solution from the lattice Boltzmann method. This method are based on maximization of entropy and preserve the non-negativity of discrete distributions under the lattice Boltzmann method. The proposed computational framework allows different grid sizes, orders of interpolation, and time-steps in different subdomains. This allows for different desired resolutions in the numerical solution in different subdomains. Through numerical experiments, the effect of grid and time-step refinement, disparity of time-steps in different subdomains, domain partitioning, and the number of iteration steps on the accuracy and rate of convergence of the proposed methodology are studied. Finally, to showcase the performance of this framework in porous media applications, we use it to simulate the dissolution of calcium carbonate in a porous structure.

description: Silicon germanium (Si1-xGex) is potentially a good material for the bottom cell in a multi-junction solar
cell system because of its relatively low and adjustable bandgap. The accurate and reliable determination
of the optical absorption coefficient of Si1-xGex film grown on silicon substrate is a challenging problem.
This is mainly because a graded buffer layer needs to be grown on the silicon substrate in order to grow
low dislocation Si1-xGex on silicon. However, the optical absorption occurring in the thick graded buffer
layer is difficult to quantify. In this paper an approach is proposed to determine the absorption
coefficient of Si1-xGex film grown on silicon substrate. The only measurement needed is the optical
transmittance ratio of two structures being different only in the thickness of the Si1-xGex film. Using this
method, the absorption coefficient of Si1-xGex grown on silicon substrate with germanium composition
of 78%, 82%, 85% and 88% from around 1000nm to 1400nm at 297K were obtained. Both simulations
and theoretical analysis have shown the high accuracy of this methodology.

description: Indoor and outdoor measurements of solar cells can yield significant differences in the short-circuit
current and hence in the efficiency. In general, the measurement conditions for indoor measurements are reproducible
and well defined. For outdoor measurements, this is not the case. For calibrations, the standard test conditions (STC)
according to IEC 60904 have to be complied with. These parameters do not represent the conditions in the field.
Consequently, calibration values give a good qualitative overview for comparing solar cells, but there may be major
differences in the case of other conditions. We performed indoor high-precision primary calibrations with our DSR
(Differential Spectral Responsivity) facility and outdoor measurements with our new outdoor facility. Here we show
for different types of solar cells the comparison between the short-circuit current obtained with the DSR method and
the outdoor facility. The outdoor setup measures the short-circuit current directly together with the temperature of the
solar cells, the irradiance and the cosine-weighted solar spectrum from 220 nm to 1600 nm. We investigated the
factors that influence outdoor measurements with both setups. Different correction procedures for the short-circuit
current were evaluated. The aim of this work is to identify the critical factors which have a major impact on outdoor
calibrations compared to indoor calibrations. Here, we show the results for three c-Si solar cells and for one filtered
solar cell.

structures that combine local irradiance enhancement and resonant emission amplification and spectral concentration to
enlarge the utilized spectral range

description: We present 2.1 GHz imaging with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of a 6.5 deg^2 region within the XXM-Newton XXL South field using a band of 1.1-3.1 GHz. We achieve an angular resolution of 4.7" x 4.2" in the final radio continuum map with a median rms noise level of 50 uJy/beam. We identify 1389 radio sources in the field with peak S/N >=5 and present the catalogue of observed parameters. We find that 305 sources are resolved, of which 77 consist of multiple radio components. These number counts are in agreement with those found for the COSMOS-VLA 1.4 GHz survey. We derive spectral indices by a comparison with the Sydney University Molongolo Sky Survey (SUMSS) 843MHz data. We find an average spectral index of -0.78 and a scatter of 0.28, in line with expectations. This pilot survey was conducted in preparation for a larger ATCA program to observe the full 25 deg^2 southern XXL field. When complete, the survey will provide a unique resource of sensitive, wide-field radio continuum imaging with complementary X-ray data in the field. This will facilitate studies of the physical mechanisms of radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs and galaxy clusters, and the role they play in galaxy evolution. The source catalogue is publicly available online via the XXL Master Catalogue browser and the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS).

description: We propose a classification of defects in large-area Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) modules using
electroluminescence (EL) and lock-in thermography (LIT) imaging techniques. We observe three types of defects, which
we name according to their respective appearance in EL images as “Smears”, “Freckles”, and “Doughnuts”. “Smears”
consist of a small dark spot and a tail (length: 2 to 12 mm), which smears out over several cells. In both EL and LIT
images, Smears appear as shunts with negative impact on the cell performance. “Freckles” appear in EL images as dark
spots with sharp contours (diameter: 10 to 200 μm). Doughnuts are visible in EL images as dark spots (diameter: 10 to
50 μm), surrounded by bright edge (diameter: 20 to 150 μm). Freckles and Doughnuts may originate from impurities in
the CIGS absorber layer, and ZnO layer, respectively. Their appearances in EL and LIT images show that these two
defect types have minor electrical impact and may result from difference in emissivity of materials. However, both of
them cause a reduction of active area, and thus the short circuit current. Preliminary results from scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicate the presence of carbon and potassium
containing contamination.

description: Simulating dwarf galaxy halos in a reionizing Universe puts severe constraints on the sub-grid model employed in the simulations. Using the same sub-grid model that works for simulations without a UV-background (UVB) results in gas poor galaxies that stop forming stars very early on, except for halos with high masses. This is in strong disagreement with observed galaxies, which are gas rich and star forming down to a much lower mass range. To resolve this discrepancy, we ran a large suite of isolated dwarf galaxy simulations to explore a wide variety of sub-grid models and parameters, including timing and strength of the UVB, strength of the stellar feedback, and metallicity dependent Pop III feedback. We compared these simulations to observed dwarf galaxies by means of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), which links the baryonic content of a galaxy to the observationally determined strength of its gravitational potential. We found that the results are robust to changes in the UVB. The strength of the stellar feedback shifts the results on the BTFR, but does not help to form gas rich galaxies at late redshifts. Only by including Pop III feedback are we able to produce galaxies that lie on the observational BTFR and that have neutral gas and ongoing star formation at redshift zero.

description: This paper describes solutions for voltage control in low-voltage distribution networks with a high
penetration of decentralized feed-in systems. Electric equipment such as controllable distribution transformers with
on-load tap changer (OLTC), reactive-power capable PV inverters and decentralized line voltage controllers were
included in the study.
After a short description of the issue of voltage control in distribution networks, we will continue with a
description of the proposed solutions including the electric equipment and selected system concepts, as well as their
advantages and disadvantages. In conclusion, a model of an existing low-voltage network is used to compare the
concepts taking into account the potential increases in hosting capacity, losses caused by limiting active power, and
the required reactive power that needs to be provided.

description: MAXI J1820$+$070 is a transient black hole binary (BHB) discovered on 2018 March 11. The unprecedented rich statistics brought by the NICER X-ray telescope allows detailed timing analysis up to $\sim$1~kHz uncompromised by the photon shot noise. To estimate the time lags, the Fourier analysis was applied, which led to two different conclusions for the system configuration; one supporting the lamp-post configuration with a stable accretion disk extending close to the innermost stable circular orbit and the other supporting the truncated accretion disk contracting with time. Using the same data set, we present the results based on the cross-correlation function (CCF). The CCF is calculated between two different X-ray bands and one side is subtracted from the other side, which we call the differential CCF (dCCF). The soft and hard lags respectively of $\sim$0.03 and 3~s are clearly identified without being diluted by the spectral mixture, demonstrating the effectiveness of the dCCF analysis. The evolution of these lags is tracked, along with spectral changes for the first 120~days since the discovery. Both the dCCF and spectral fitting results are interpreted that the soft lag is a reverberation lag between the Comptonized emission and the soft excess emission and that the hard lag is between the disk black body emission and the Comptonized emission. The evolution of these lags is in line with the picture of the truncated disk contracting with time.

description: Flavor SU(3) symmetry is a powerful tool to analyze charmed baryon decays, however its applicability remains to be experimentally validated. Since there is not much data on $Ξ_c$ decays, various exclusive $Λ_c$ decays especially the ones into a neutron state are essential for the test of flavor symmetry. These decay modes are also helpful to investigate final state interactions in charmed baryon decays. In this work, we discuss the explicit roles of $Λ_c$ decays into a neutron in testing the flavor symmetry and exploring final state interactions. The involved decay modes include semileptonic decays, two-body and three-body non-leptonic decays, but all of them have not been experimentally observed to date.

description: Presently, Research Centers and Industries are putting many efforts into driving down the production
cost of crystalline Si-based PV devices (€/Wp

). Such goal can be achieved by enhancing the efficiency of the devices
and contemporarily reducing silicon use in wafer production. The 20plμs project "20 percent efficiency on less than

distinguish between wafer doping and maximum process temperature. P-type monocrystalline Cz-Si solar cells
subjected to high temperature processes are called “PHT”; n-type Cz-Si cells fabricated with high and low
temperature processes are called “NHT” and “NLT”, respectively. The present work aims at evaluating the ecosustainability
of PHT, NHT and NLT technologies in comparison with the reference process: GHG emissions, CED
and EPBT are calculated. With regards to results, wafer thickness reduction and cell efficiency enhancement bring
about significant GHG emissions reduction and shorter EPBT. Finally a sensitive analysis is proposed to take into
account the effects of insolation and PR on the environmental performances.

description: We present the re-detection of a compact source in the face-on protoplanetary disc surrounding HD 169142, using VLT/SPHERE data in YJH bands. The source is found at a separation of 0.''319 ($\sim$37 au) from the star. Three lines of evidence argue in favour of the signal tracing a protoplanet: (i) it is found in the annular gap separating the two bright rings of the disc, as predicted by theory; (ii) it is moving at the expected Keplerian velocity for an object at $\sim$37 au in the 2015, 2017 and 2019 datasets; (iii) we also detect a spiral-shaped signal whose morphology is consistent with the expected outer spiral wake triggered by a planet in the gap, based on dedicated hydrodynamical simulations of the system. The YJH colours we extracted for the object are consistent with tracing scattered starlight, suggesting that the protoplanet is enshrouded in a significant amount of dust, as expected for a circumplanetary disc or envelope surrounding a gap-clearing Jovian-mass protoplanet.

description: Fast electron beams (FEBs) are common products of solar active phenomena. Solar radio bursts are an important diagnostic tool in the understanding of FEBs as well as the solar plasma environment in which they are propagating along solar magnetic fields. In particular, the evolutions of the energy spectrum and velocity distribution of FEBs due to the interaction with the ambient plasma and field when propagating can significantly influence the efficiency and property of their emissions. In this paper, we discuss some possible evolutions of the energy spectrum and velocity distribution of FEBs due to the energy loss processes and the pitch-angle effect caused by the magnetic field inhomogeneity, and analyze the effects of these evolutions on electron cyclotron maser (ECM) emission, which is one of the most important mechanisms of producing solar radio bursts by FEBs. The results show that the growth rates all decrease with the energy loss factor $Q$, but increase with the magnetic mirror ratio $σ$ as well as with the steepness index $δ$. Moreover, the evolution of FEBs also can significantly influence the fastest growing mode and the fastest growing phase angle. This leads to the change of the polarization sense of ECM emission. In particular, our results also reveal that FEB that undergoes different evolution processes will generate different types of ECM emission. We believe the present results to be very helpful on more comprehensive understanding of dynamic spectra of solar radio bursts.

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3188-3193
description: Cracks in crystalline solar cells in photovoltaic modules can be caused by applied mechanical stresses.
To investigate the development of cracks in encapsulated solar cells a new approach was chosen that analyzes
thermal and mechanical loading systematically. For this purpose two experiments are established using mini-module
specimens with three or 10 cells. It was found by using electroluminescence imaging that after thermal loading small
cracks (< 10 mm) were initiated mainly at the beginning and at the end of the busbars. After mechanical loading the
cells show complete failure. The crack directions depend on the loading direction. Furthermore it was shown that a
loading parallel to the busbars causes cracks at lower load magnitudes than a loading perpendicular to the busbars.
The findings can be transferred to full-scale modules by using finite element simulation results. The comparison with
other investigations allows an interpretation of many effects that were observed in full-scale PV modules and allows
design optimization for reduced cell breakage rates.

description: In this paper we show how to redress a shortcoming of the path integral scheme for fermionic superfluids and superconductors. This approach is built around a simultaneous calculation of electrodynamics and thermodynamics. An important sum rule, the compressibility sum rule, fails to be satisfied in the usual calculation of the electromagnetic and thermodynamic response at the Gaussian fluctuation level. Here we present a path integral scheme to address this inconsistency. Specifically, at the leading order we argue that the superconducting gap should be calculated using a different saddle point condition modified by the presence of an external vector potential. This leads to the well known gauge-invariant BCS electrodynamic response and is associated with the usual (mean field) expression for thermodynamics. In this way the compressibility sum rule is satisfied at the BCS level. Moreover, this scheme can be readily extended to address arbitrary higher order fluctuation theories. At any level this approach will lead to a gauge invariant and compressibility sum rule consistent treatment of electrodynamics and thermodynamics.

description: The general method to realize series connection in thin film PV modules is monolithical
interconnection through a sequence of laser scribes (P1, P2 and P3) and layer depositions. This method however
implies that the deposition processes are interrupted several times, an undesirable situation in high volume
processing. In order to eliminate this drawback we focus our developments on the so called “back-end
interconnection concept” in which series interconnection takes place AFTER the deposition of the functional layers
of the thin film PV device.
The process of making a back-end interconnection combines laser scribing, curing, sintering and inkjet processes.
These different processes interacts with each other and are investigated in order to create processing strategies that
are robust to ensure high volume production. The generic approach created a technology base that can be applied to
any thin film PV technology.

description: For analyzing the long-term behavior of micromorphous (a-Si/μc-Si tandem) thin film photovoltaic
modules under different climatic and especially (sub-) tropical climate conditions, it is important to observe the lightinduced
degradation (LID) in dependence of the module temperature. According to the IEC 61646 standard, the
impact of LID on module parameters is determined at a constant temperature of 50°C with an irradiation of 1000
W/m² at open circuit conditions. Until now previous papers examined the LID of amorphous thin film solar cells with
different temperatures and some other paper are about micromorphous silicon with an operating temperature of 50°C.
Since the main reason for the degradation of micromorphous modules is the well-known Staebler Wronski effect in
the amorphous part of the cell, the temperature dependence of the healing of defects is also taken into account. The
measurement of degradation and regeneration at higher temperatures is the necessary base for exactly forecasts of
yield in sunny regions at temperatures higher than those in central Europe.

description: To investigate the effects of using a-SiOx:H/a-Si:H tandem solar cells, numerical simulations of low
concentration spectrum-splitting thin-film solar cells have been done. In addition, the effects of the width of the
splitting filter’s cutting profile have been investigated. These calculations showed that using tandem solar cells whose
i-layer thickness of bottom cell was 200 nm improved concentration characteristics and increased total conversion
efficiency under 10 suns. Furthermore, it was shown that the total efficiency decreased parabolically as the width of
the cutting wavelength increased.
