description: Indium in chalcopyrite-based solar cell absorbers can be substituted by zinc (Zn) and tin (Sn) forming a
Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTS/CZTSe) absorber. Light to electricity conversion efficiencies of solar cells based on CZTSSe
have recently reached over 9%, making this material competitive and more sustainable replacement for existing CdTe
and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film technologies. The approach to grow CZTS using metal co-deposition of the Cu(II)–
Zn(II)–Sn(IV) system followed by sulfurisation is very promising technique for large scale production. However the
process suffers from the incomplete sulfurisation of the precursors, and requires the development of suitable rapid
thermal processing technique for the formation of single CZTS phase similar to that of Cu-chalcopyrite solar absorber. In
this work we report on the synthesis of uniform monodisperse CZTS nanoparticles at the temperature below 300 °C
without the precipitation of secondary phases such as ZnS. The as-synthesized CZTS nanoparticles characterized by high
resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) exhibited highly crystalline structure with a size variation of
18.0±4.0 nm. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the presence of all elements with the atomic ratio of
43.3% S, 31.0% Cu, 14.9% Zn and 10.8% Sn. Thin films made from CZTS NPs are of kesterite structure and are greatly
improved by annealing in Se/Ar atmosphere.

description: Continuous-time open quantum walks (CTOQW) are introduced as the formulation of quantum dynamical semigroups of trace-preserving and completely positive linear maps (or quantum Markov semigroups) on graphs. We show that a CTOQW always converges to a steady state regardless of the initial state when a graph is connected. When the graph is both connected and regular, it is shown that the steady state is the maximally mixed state. As shown by the examples in this article, the steady states of CTOQW can be very unusual and complicated even though the underlying graphs are simple. The examples demonstrate that the structure of a graph can affect quantum coherence in CTOQW through a long time run. Precisely, the quantum coherence persists throughout the evolution of the CTOQW when the underlying topology is certain irregular graphs (such as a path or a star as shown in the examples). In contrast, the quantum coherence will eventually vanish from the open quantum system when the underlying topology is a regular graph (such as a cycle).

description: Series resistance characterization and its associated power losses are of great importance in the PV
module design process. A general modelling tool has been built, which allows the calculation of the power losses in a
PV module due to the series resistance increase during the interconnection process. The model has been used to
evaluate recently developed interconnection processes such as conductive adhesives, new interconnecting ribbon
materials and new metallization grid designs with three or more busbars. A sensibility analysis of each input
parameter has been carried out. The model has been validated by comparison with experimental measurements of the
series resistance in cells interconnected with different methods.
title: Exploring the experiences of male caregivers caring for a partner with Alzheimer's dementia: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Creators: name: McIntosh, Gwenne Louise
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University

description: Introduction
Dementia is a global health issue. The role that family members adopt to support people to remain at home has an impact on caregivers, communities, health services and the wider economic climate. This thesis presents an exploration of male caregivers’ experience of caring for a partner with Alzheimer’s dementia. The aim is to uncover the experiences of male caregivers and identify factors that encourage or inhibit decisions to access support services. The perspectives of men caring for a partner with dementia are underexplored, resulting in a lack of insight into the individual caregiving experience.
Method
The study adopts a qualitative phenomenological approach offering close examination of the lived experience of caregiving leading to deeper understanding of the concepts, values and meaning men draw from their experiences. Semi-structured interviews with seven men caring for their partners provided the data for this study and was analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).
Findings
Three themes were identified: 1. Lack of Influence; 2. Changes and Losses and 3. Protecting Others. Findings provide increased understanding of the individual experience of caregiving in the context of being a male partner. Men’s experience is complex as Alzheimer’s dementia brings about substantial change in roles, responsibility and relationships. Decisions about caregiving and accessing support are related to men’s view of their sense of duty and the desire to protect others. Perceptions of support services influence men’s decisions to access support, and the consequences that arise from interactions with service providers are often unexpected, unintentional or unwanted. The lack of involvement and power in making decisions adds to the emotional impact of caring resulting in a spiral of disengagement from services.
Conclusion
This study offers new insights, providing opportunities for health and social care staff to better respond to the needs of men through improved engagement and will be of interest to those working with caregivers and those providing support for people with dementia.

description: Many experiments have searched for supersymmetric WIMP dark matter, with null results. This may suggest to look for more exotic possibilities, for example compact ultra-dense quark nuggets, widely discussed in literature with several different names. Nuclearites are an example of candidate compact objects with atomic size cross section. After a short discussion on nuclearites, the result of a nuclearite search with the gravitational wave bar detectors Nautilus and Explorer is reported. The geometrical acceptance of the bar detectors is 19.5 $\rm m^2$ sr, that is smaller than that of other detectors used for similar searches. However, the detection mechanism is completely different and is more straightforward than in other detectors. The experimental limits we obtain are of interest because, for nuclearites of mass less than $10^{-5}$ g, we find a flux smaller than that one predicted considering nuclearites as dark matter candidates. Particles with gravitational only interactions (newtorites) are another example. In this case the sensitivity is quite poor and a short discussion is reported on possible improvements.

description: The evaluation of the efficiency potential of Si materials for solar cell production is one key aspect for
strategic decisions in today’s photovoltaic business. In this work a flexible photolithography-based cell process is
presented which is in particular well-suited for defect-rich multicrystalline Si material. One decisive feature is the low
overall thermal budget of the process since it is based on only one longer high-temperature step (the P diffusion) and
a short firing step to obtain a decent hydrogen passivation from a hydrogen-rich PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced
Chemical Vapor Deposition) SiNx:H layer. A further MIRHP (Microwave Induced Remote Hydrogen Plasma) step at
a temperature below 400°C completes the hydrogen passivation of bulk defects. The process is derived from the
standard photolithography based process at the University of Konstanz (UKN) and can easily be adapted to all kinds
of dielectric rear side passivation patterns like a-Si, SiO2, SiCx and Al2O3 or stack systems. The rear side contact in
this approach is established by Laser Fired Contacts (LFCs). Results presented in this work originate from a process
based on an Al2O3 rear side passivation which is deposited at less than 200°C and subsequently annealed at about
400°C. Efficiencies above 18% on EFG and Calisolar polysilicon material, above 14% on RGS and above 20% on FZ
reference material are demonstrated on 2 x 2 cm2 solar cells. For all mc-Si materials these efficiencies are very close
to the highest efficiencies ever obtained by applying other already established high efficiency processes.

description: Die vorliegende Master-Thesis betrachtet den Einfluss der Organisationskultur sozialer Ausbildungsorganisationen auf die Begleitung des Bildungsprozesses durch die Praxisausbildenden hinsichtlich der professionellen Habitusentwicklung im dualen Studiengang Sozialpädagogik HF. Das Datenmaterial aus sechs problemzentrierten Einzelinterviews mit Lernenden und ihren Praxisausbildenden in drei unterschiedlichen Organisationen wurde basierend auf der Grounded Theory ausgewertet und zu einer Theorie zur «Bildung des professionellen Habitus unter Mehrdeutigkeit» verdichtet. Diese empirische Arbeit bestätigt den Einfluss der Organisationskultur auf die Bildungsangebote der Praxisausbildenden. Dabei nehmen auf Ebene Organisationskultur Vorstellungen zum Professions- und Bildungsverständnis, der Umgang mit Fehlern/Problemen, das Führungsverständnis sowie die Beziehungsqualität in der Zusammenarbeit eine Schlüsselposition ein. Diese Faktoren wirken in Rückkoppelungsschlaufen auf die Verantwortungsübernahme, die Lenkung des Bildungsprozesses und der Bildungsinhalte durch die Praxisausbildenden. Im Weiteren wirken sie auch auf die Gestaltung der Relationierung im Theorie-/Praxistransfer, die Reflexion des praktischen Handelns, die Beziehungsgestaltung und nicht zuletzt auf die Bearbeitung von Krisen der Lernenden. Gelingt es, die Faktoren auf Ebene Organisationskultur nachvollziehbar aufeinander zu beziehen und in ein Gleichgewicht zu führen, so wird in der Summe ein eindeutigeres Bildungsangebot koproduziert, was der professionellen Habitusbildung von Lernenden zuträglich ist.

description: In this paper detailed investigations about the local doping by laser chemical processing (LCP), a
liquid jet coupled laser applied to selective emitter formation, are presented. The focus is on the influence of the laser
light intensity profile within the liquid jet cross section on the produced dopant distribution. The inhomogeneous
intensity profile produced by the liquid jet being a multimode waveguide was quantitatively measured using a
suitable camera setup. Then the measured intensity profile was exported to our existing numerical model, which was
developed for the simulation of the basic physical effects of LCP. The simulation results are compared to
experimentally produced doping profiles showing very good agreement. This means that the LCP doping process can
be well described by our numerical model including the real intensity profile. Furthermore, the observation that an
LCP doping effect occurs already at average fluence values below the theoretical threshold for melting of silicon is
explained by the local super elevations of the intensity profile.

description: We propose a stringy construction giving rise to a class of interacting and non-supersymmetric CFT's in six dimensions. Such theories may be obtained as an IR conformal fixed point of an RG flow ending up in a $(1, 0)$ theory in the UV. We provide the due holographic evidence in the context of massive type IIA on $\textrm {AdS}_{7}\times M_3$, where $M_3$ is topologically an $S^3$. In particular, in this paper we present a 10d flow solution which may be interpreted as a non-BPS bound state of NS5, D6 and $\overline{\textrm{D6}}$ branes. Moreover, by adopting its 7d effective description, we are able to holographically compute the free energy and the operator spectrum in the novel IR conformal fixed point.

description: The EC-funded PERFORMANCE integrated project begun in January 2006 includes a sub-project
dedicated to improving the comparability of thin-film PV module performance measurements among European test
laboratories and to filling existing gaps of knowledge for defining specific measurement procedures. The need for such
improvement is underlined by the results of international round-robin tests with PV modules in the past years that
revealed significant discrepancies in measurements on thin-film and multi-junction devices. A comprehensive test
programme was conducted with different types of thin-film PV modules reflecting the current state of the art of
commercially available thin-film technologies. Module types covering the following technologies were selected for the
round-robin test: a-Si (single, tandem, triple), a-Si/ μc-Si (hybrid), CIGS and CdTe. Due to possible variations in
electrical performance due to temperature conditions or dark storage (transport, packaging) a test procedure was defined
that included a short-term pre-conditioning procedure to be performed prior to the output power characterisations in
individual test laboratories. Evaluation of reported data revealed poor comparability of results and in particular a high
spread for PMAX values in the range of ±6%. Besides uncertainties caused by current mismatches of layers for multijunction
devices and uncertainties related to the reference devices, pre-conditioning must be regarded as another
important source of uncertainty. We found that measurement discrepancies could be partly explained by the failure of
some test labs to comply with the defined pre-conditioning procedure.

description: The workshop aims to establish the context for Open Science Policy and Research Assessment and to provide a brief overview of the importance of monitoring Open Science practices and policies, and to offer insights from the collective efforts of the OPUS, GraspOS, and PathOS projects. Open Science is the new way to conduct research. However, despite the growing adoption of Open Science principles, the research community is still struggling to keep up with fragmented research policies and the lack of incentives and recognition for researchers' activities. Each country may have its own national policy, institutions may have developed their own roadmaps, along with several national and European funders. These policies increasingly mandate Open Science practices, particularly Open Access to publications and research data management and sharing, which influences the research process and consequently the way research and researchers are assessed. This transformation intensifies the need for an evidence-based view of the evolution of Open Science and its impact in order to facilitate stocktaking and efficient policy making. The discussion not only involves indicators and measures, but also supporting infrastructures and technological solutions. A growing number of projects, including OPUS, GraspOS, and PathOS, as well as policy initiatives like CoARA, are actively addressing reforming research assessment to incentivise and reward Open Science. These efforts involve the establishment of observatories and the alignment of national and institutional policies, while also considering supporting infrastructures and technological solutions. The speakers explain the activities of different projects and initiatives, debating with the audience on the challenges and opportunities of aligning policies and practices developing a new research assessment system to incentivise and reward Open Science. In conclusion, the workshop provides an overview of the current state of Open Science practices in research monitoring and assessment. It will highlight the importance of monitoring the uptake of Open Science and of promoting Open Science practices to enhance the effectiveness of research assessment and lead to better research outcomes.

Our approach does not necessarily rely on the use of ancillary cluster states to achieve its aim, but rather on the detection of a resource state in a suitable mode basis followed by digital post-processing, and involves an optimization of the adjustable experimental parameters. After introducing the general method, we present some examples of application to simple specific computations.

title: Exploring the history and cultural representation of capital punishment in Scotland
Creators: name: McFadden, Simon
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: Scotland’s historic and contemporary representation of capital punishment remains relatively unexplored in existing scholarship. This study aims to determine how capital punishment was presented to Scots in eighteenth and nineteenth century press publications. This research explores the representation and function of execution broadsheets from the National Library of Scotland’s collection through thematic analysis. Furthermore, in applying a case study approach this study analyses the press representation of two notorious capital convicts in the early nineteenth century, namely William Burke and Mary McKinnon. In addition, through analytical research this study aims to understand how Scotland’s legacy of capital punishment is presented to contemporary audiences on Edinburgh walking tours.
This study supports existing scholarship which suggests that execution broadsides are complex representations, containing contradictory discourses. However, in adding to existing scholarship, this study finds that the degree of complexity in representation is subject to variation depending on the identity and crime of the convict in focus. Henceforth, this study posits that several factors relating to the convicts’ identity and circumstances factored into representation, including: gender, nationality, age and offence. Findings demonstrate that whilst execution was generally reported on as an accepted consequence for committing crime, certain convicts were depicted more sympathetically and favourably than others.
In addition, findings establish that stories of execution are found to contribute significantly to the content presented on Edinburgh walking tours. Sensationalism is marked as a recurring theme in historic and contemporary representations of capital punishment in Scotland, indicating that stories of execution in Scotland have consistently served to entertain as well as to inform audiences. This study finds that cultural and societal shifts have impacted representations of capital punishment and presents an argument that factors such as time, scale and culpability impact contemporary representations of capital punishment, ultimately distinguishing sites of execution from other dark tourist sites.

description: An infinite class of analytic AdS_7 x S^3 solutions has recently been found. The S^3 is distorted into a "crescent roll" shape by the presence of D8-branes. These solutions are conjectured to be dual to a class of "linear quivers", with a large number of gauge groups coupled to (bi-)fundamental matter and tensor fields. In this paper we perform a precise quantitative check of this correspondence, showing that the a Weyl anomalies computed in field theory and gravity agree. In the holographic limit, where the number of gauge groups is large, the field theory result is a quadratic form in the gauge group ranks involving the inverse of the A_N Cartan matrix C. The agreement can be understood as a continuum limit, using the fact that C is a lattice analogue of a second derivative. The discrete data of the field theory, summarized by two partitions, become in this limit the continuous functions in the geometry. Conversely, the geometry of the internal space gets discretized at the quantum level to the discrete data of the two partitions.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Beteiligung von Kindern in den Abklärungsprozessen im Kinderschutz. Während dieses Prozesses wird eine mögliche Kindeswohlgefährdung abgeklärt, eingeschätzt und die nötigen Schritte zur Sicherung des Kindeswohls geplant. Internationale Studienergebnisse zeigen auf, dass Kinder in den Prozess der Kindeswohlabklärung kaum miteinbezogen werden und ihre Perspektive in der Einschätzung und Hilfeplanung nur wenig berücksichtigt wird. Anhand einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden die evidenzbasierten Ergebnisse der Sozialforschung zur Teilhabe von Kindern in Abklärungsprozessen des Kinderschutzes untersucht. Weiters wurden die Empfehlungen der Sozialforschung im Hinblick auf eine kindeswohlzuträgliche Teilhabe von Kindern zusammengefasst. Sechs leitfadengestützte Expert:inneninterviews geben Aufschluss über die Art der Beteiligung von Kindern im Kinderschutz in Vorarlberg, Österreich. Es wurden die Entscheidungsgrundlagen der Fachpersonen untersucht, ob und warum sie Kinder in die Abklärungsprozesse miteinbeziehen oder nicht. Mithilfe der Inhaltsanalyse nach Philipp Mayring wurden induktive Kategorien gebildet, um die Ergebnisse zu strukturieren. Im Gegensatz zu internationalen Studien und Fallanalysen geht aus den qualitativen Interviews hervor, dass Kinder in Vorarlberg an den Abklärungsprozessen durchaus beteiligt werden. Diese Beteiligung geschieht nicht nur über das persönliche Gespräch mit den Kindern, sondern je nach Alter und Entwicklungsstand über Interaktionsbeobachtungen, Spiel- oder Malsequenzen. Die Fachkräfte in Vorarlberg beziehen zahlreiche Faktoren in ihre Entscheidung über die Beteiligung von Kindern mit ein. Neben dem Alter, dem Entwicklungsstand oder der Gefahrenlage der Situation entscheiden sie individuell. Dadurch gewährleisten sie einen Miteinbezug, der das Kind nicht überfordern soll und dem Kindeswohl zuträglich ist.

description: In this study, we investigate optical losses in an ultrathin 500 nm CIGSe solar cell by numerical simulation. From the
results of this simulation, two possible paths to improve absorption are proposed: alternative large bandgap buffer
layer (front contact engineering) and alternative reflective back contact (back contact engineering). Proof of concept
devices with ZnS (Eg=3.6 eV) as a N-type buffer layer and Au as an alternative reflective back contact are realized
and characterized by Quantum Efficiency measurements, and show a significant improvement of the photocurrent,
consistent with the simulations.

description: In this correspondence, we propose a diversity-achieving retroreflector-based fine tracking system for free-space optical (FSO) communications. We show that multiple retroreflectors deployed around the communication telescope at the aerial vehicle save the payload capacity and enhance the outage performance of the fine tracking system. Through the analysis of the joint-pointing loss of the multiple retroreflectors, we derive the ordered moments of the received power. Our analysis can be further utilized for studies on multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-FSO. After the moment-based estimation of the received power distribution, we numerically analyze the outage performance. The greatest challenge of retroreflector-based FSO communication is a significant decrease in power. Still, our selected numerical results show that, from an outage perspective, the proposed method can surpass conventional methods.

Thin Film Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells and Wafer Equivalents

description: 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Hamburg, Germany; 2533-2536
description: In our present investigation, different kinds of metallic substrates (MS) with dielectric and conductive
diffusion barrier layers (BL) were studied for the subsequent fabrication of polycrystalline silicon solar cells. The
permeation of contaminants from MS has been studied using Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) technique
as an indirect method of impurity detection in silicon. Dielectric barrier layers of a thickness, 1 μm were prepared
using FOx solution by spin coating and conducting TiN barrier layers of similar thickness by cathodic arc
evaporation. The potential impurities identified from the DLTS measurements are Fe and Ni. The results were
reported and discussed in detail in view of the evaluation of choice of the metallic substrate and effective diffusion
barrier.
title: Automated code compliance for structural timber design with building information modelling
Creators: name: Livingstone, Andrew
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: This work set out to identify and overcome the barriers to specifying structural timber within the UK. In the first instance, a survey of practising structural engineers was conducted, and in combination with a review of the context via available literature, the objectives for the main body of the work were formulated. The solutions identified to address these barriers are in two forms: the first was to create code-compliant calculation tools for timber connections and the second approach presents a system for the automation of structural timber design as part of a Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach. The mathematical process of multi-dimensional data fitting is introduced in order to create automatic code compliance tools in BIM. This process is used to simplify the complex engineering calculations into a single equation that can be implemented into current BIM software engineering packages. BIM-based tools can contribute to addressing some of the challenges faced by structural engineering practitioners with respect to the design and detailing of timber structural systems, given the range of available timber products and enhanced levels of design complexities. From an industry perspective, it is envisaged that the work presented here can support structural engineers who want to incorporate timber in their projects but are finding the level of technical expertise required a significant barrier.

description: Samples of copper indium sulpho-selenide (CISe/S) and copper zinc tin sulpho-selenide (CZTSe/S)
were manufactured by producing selenides via selenisation of RF sputtered metallic precursors with elemental
selenium. A subsequent substitution reaction of elemental sulphur was carried out on the selenides to produce
samples with S/Se between 0 and 1. XRD peaks, and therefore lattice parameters, were found to vary linearly with
S/Se and band gaps were found to vary linearly between 1.1-1.56eV and 0.96-1.47eV for CISe/S and CZTSe/S
respectively. The variation in physical properties was shown to be due to the addition of sulphur by the comparison of
the physical properties of the same samples before and after sulphidisation. The work was expanded to include
CZTSe/S with 2 different Cu:Zn:Sn ratios for exploration of the composition space and this was found to be a critical factor. CZTSe/S precursor composition was based on values measured in record cells.

description: Considering the experimental constraints given by CMS collaboration at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV on the strength of top quark flavour-changing neutral-current (FCNC) couplings $tqγ$ and $tqg$, we investigate the production of top quark in association with a photon and carry out a full simulation for the signals $\ellνbγ$ and $jjbγ$ at 14 TeV LHC. In our numerical analysis, the contributions of single top production with a photon radiation off the top decay products are also included. The discovery potential for anomalous couplings $tqγ$ and $tqg$ with an integrated luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$ are examined in detail.

title: Evolving planar mechanisms for the conceptual stage of mechanical design
Creators: name: Lapok, Paul
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2020

description: The design of planar mechanical systems is a challenging and time-consuming task for engineers. Evolutionary computing has been shown to be a successful tool applied to design automation in various mechanical engineering fields. This thesis aims to determine how evolutionary computing can be applied in the early conceptual stage to support planar mechanical design. Building on existing work, it investigates suitable evolutionary representations and defines and evaluates a framework for evolving planar mechanical systems in a physics environment. It focuses on the design of representations in a multi-step approach, capable of producing mechanical shapes and mechanisms consisting of several components and linkages, adapting to their environment and able to traverse different landscapes.
Based on a review of the literature on evolutionary computing in design, shape representations, generative design tools, and evolving mechanisms, a generative system was developed, allowing a series of empirical studies to be conducted. Analysis of the results demonstrated the importance of breaking down the representation design into multiple stages. It showed that the implemented representations, combined with the generative tool and evolutionary operators, are capable of evolving solutions for problems with different complexity. The results indicate the representation’s large impact on the solution quality, and therefore, careful design is necessary. This work provides insight into design decisions and compatibility with evolutionary computing techniques, offering a promising outlook for using this method to support the conceptual stage of mechanical design. In future, this work has the potential to be developed into an industry tool for assisting engineers in the early stage of planar mechanism design.

description: Passivated and locally rear contacted solar cell concepts are currently leaping forward towards
industrial realization. A promising candidate for rear passivation represents the deposition of aluminum oxide (AlOx)
by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) techniques. High deposition rates, high gas
utilization and good achievable layer homogeneities attract considerable interest for an industrial use of these types
of layer systems. The paper reports on current activities towards an industrial implementation of PECVD deposited
AlOx layers for rear passivation of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells. On large area PERC type mc-Si solar
cells, an increase in Voc of about 1.5 % relative and in jsc of about 2.5 % relative compared to standard Al-BSF
reference cells could be demonstrated, demonstrating the optical and electrical quality gain at the wafers rear side.
