description: Local entanglement between pairs of spins, as measured by concurrence, is investigated in a disordered spin model that displays a transition from an ergodic to a many-body localized phase in excited states. It is shown that the concurrence vanishes in the ergodic phase and becomes nonzero and increases in the many-body localized phase. This happen to be correlated with the transition in the spectral statistics from Wigner to Poissonian distribution. A scaling form is found to exist in the second derivative of the concurrence with the disorder strength. It also displays a critical value for the localization transition that is close to what is known in the literature from other measures. An exponential decay of concurrence with distance between spins is observed in the localized phase. Nearest neighbor spin concurrence in this phase is also found to be strongly correlated with the disorder configuration of onsite fields: nearly similar fields implying larger entanglement.

Thin Film Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2453-2458
description: A concept for integrated interconnected crystalline silicon thin film solar cells is presented. Following
the classical thin film approach the crystalline silicon thin film is divided into individual cell stripes and
interconnected monolithically, directly on the substrate. Taking advantage of the crystalline quality of the material,
the interconnection is realized using screen printing pastes. In this paper we focus our experimental investigations on
the separation of cell stripes and the interconnection via screen printing. The cell separation is either done by oxide
masking and KOH etching or by laser ablation and a subsequent etch step. For the interconnection not only
metallization pastes are required, but also an isolating material to protect the edge of the cell against shunting.
Different isolating screen printing pastes were tested for their isolation properties against metallization pastes. In
further experiments the influence of different firing parameters was investigated.
The cell stripe width strongly affects the series resistance of the module, since it is a single side contacted concept
where only the back surface field (BSF) is responsible for the electrical conductivity on the rear. Therefore the series
resistance is estimated in dependence on the cell stripe width.

description: The grain structure of silicon crystalline thin-film layers made by zone melting recrystallization (ZMR)
has been investigated by electron backscattering diffraction measurements (EBSD). The electrical activity of the
found defects was studied by electron beam induced current (EBiC). We find a striped pattern of twinned grains and a
prevailing (110) orientation with respect to the surface. The results are in contrast to previous results on SiO2 base
layers. We attribute this to the SiC base layers applied to our layer system. By EBiC only the few non-twin
boundaries show electrical activity whereas twin boundaries are invisible. Also, subgrain boundaries, which are
known to have a high recombination activity and play a major role in case of growth on SiO2 base, are rarely found.
Thus, the found growth regime on SiC base has potential advantages for thin-film solar cells.

description: We derive the fraction of substructure in the Galactic halo using a sample of over 10,000 spectroscopically-confirmed halo giant stars from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. By observing 100 synthetic models along each line of sight with the LAMOST selection function in that sky area, we statistically characterize the expected halo populations. We define as SHARDS (Stellar Halo Accretion Related Debris Structures) any stars in >3-sigma excesses above the model predictions. We find that at least 10% of the Milky Way halo stars from LAMOST are part of SHARDS. By running our algorithm on smooth halos observed with the LAMOST selection function, we show that the LAMOST data contain excess substructure over all Galactocentric radii R_GC < 40 kpc, beyond what is expected due to statistical fluctuations and incomplete sampling of a smooth halo. The level of substructure is consistent with the fraction of stars in SHARDS in model halos created entirely from accreted satellites. This work illustrates the potential of vast spectroscopic surveys with high filling factors over large sky areas to recreate the merging history of the Milky Way.

description: We investigated a low temperature silicon epitaxy by ion-assisted deposition (IAD). The epitaxial
silicon films were grown on Si wafer and a polycrystalline silicon seed layer, respectively, using DC magnetron
sputtering system. In the IAD processes the ion energy and the DC sputter power were varied and their influence on
the epitaxial properties of silicon films was investigated. For a glass substrate, a polycrystalline silicon seed layer was
prepared on the glass by aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) process with a structure of glass/Al/ Al2O3/a-Si. As
results, good quality epitaxial silicon films are obtained after rapid-thermal-annealing of the deposited silicon films.
And the deposited silicon film on the seed layer showed epitaxial properties with a similar crystalline structure to the
seed layer.

description: This paper presents the development of metallization and interconnection schemes for e-beam
evaporated polycrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells on glass substrates. The method involves electrically isolating
mini-cells by laser scribing, and then forming an isolation layer on each laser scribe. The main advantage of this
metallization is to have a single aluminium evaporation step for the formation of finger and busbar features, as well
as for series interconnection. The open-circuit voltage of the mini-module is the sum of individual cells’ voltages,
indicating a successful interconnection. Of particular interest is a method for series connection of individual cells to
primarily minimize light leakage to the glass substrate and thus to reduce associated current loss.

First the properties of the intermediate layer with respect to its optical performance in the material and in the final device
were evaluated. Second, the performance of different doping concentrations in back surface fields and the resulting effects on
passivation and lateral conductivity in a laser fired access concept have been investigated. Due to these process optimisations
efficiencies of 13.2 % have been obtained. So far a Jsc of 33.3 mA/cm², Voc of 614 mV and FF of 78 % have been achieved as
champion values however these values were measured on different samples. This paper presents the comprehensive analysis
of the shortcomings, the underlying effects and presents ways to remedy those.

description: We propose a structure to enhance the output current of thin silicon solar cell by placing islands of
silver particles on the backside of the cell. The silver/silicon interfaces support Plasmon waves at long optical
wavelengths; longer than about 620 nm. Thus the energy of such wavelengths, which are not efficiently absorbed
in the thin silicon cell, are transformed into Plasmon waves that add to the absorption in the silicon. Rigorous
analysis of Plasmon waves lead to closed forms for the lateral attenuation and in depth attenuation in both silver
and silicon sides. The fraction of Plasmon energy absorbed on the silicon side is derived, hence the Plasmon
generated current is obtained. Numerical examples confirm noticeable enhancement of the electric current due to
the presence of the backside silver particles.

description: The ongoing challenge for cost reduction of PV modules to below 0.5 €/Wp demands for solutions
combining significantly reduced material usage and consumables cost with high module efficiency. Crystalline
silicon thin-film (CSiTF) solar cells can play a major role in achieving these cost targets. The most crucial process for
the respective concepts, namely the cost-effective silicon deposition and epitaxy, is still not available in an industrial
environment. We have developed the ProConCVD, a high-throughput prototype chemical vapour deposition (CVD)
reactor for silicon epitaxy capable of a throughput more than 1000 wafers/h. In a high-volume production, this reactor
will be able to process silicon layers for less than 10 €ct/wafer, by this enabling breakthrough of the most competitive
CSiTF solar cell concepts like Lift-off, EpiCell or Recrystallized Wafer Equivalent approaches. At present, the
ProConCVD has been fully set up. This paper reports the first CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) simulations, as
well as process test and deposition results.

description: We consider classical gauge theory on a principal bundle P->X in a case of spontaneous symmetry breaking characterized by the reduction of a structure group G of P->X to its closed subgroup H. This reduction is ensured by the existence of global sections of the quotient bundle P/H->X treated as classical Higgs fields. Matter fields with an exact symmetry group H in such gauge theory are considered in the pairs with Higgs fields, and they are represented by sections of a composite bundle Y->P/H->X, where Y->P/H is a fiber bundle associated to a principal bundle P->P/H with a structure group H. A key point is that a composite bundle Y->X is proved to be associated to a principal G-bundle P->X. Therefore, though matter fields possess an exact symmetry group H, their gauge G-invariant theory in the presence of Higgs fields can be developed. Its gauge invariant Lagrangian factorizes through the vertical covariant differential determined by a connection on a principal H-bundle P->P/H. In a case of the Cartan decomposition of a Lie algebra of G, this connection can be expressed in terms of a connection on a principal bundle P->X, i.e., gauge potentials for a group of broken symmetries G.

description: A mask-less process of making silicon wafer with honeycomb surface structure by Thermal-stress
Induced Pattern Transfer (TIPT) method was reported. Compared with most texturization processes, the TIPT
method is a simpler procedure to obtain honeycomb surface without using any mask or photolithography process. In
this study, the pattern sapphires with micro-scale and nano-scale honeycomb structure were used as the substrates.
Silicon layer was deposited on the pattern sapphire substrate (PSS) by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
process. Then a metal layer with 25-100 μm was printing on the silicon layer in the following step. The sample was
annealing in a furnace at 250-850ºC and the silicon layer will peeled off with metal layer from PSS during cooling
down. The process temperature of TIPT method was found to be affected by two factors: 1) the thickness of metal
layer, and 2) the composition of metal layer. The micro-scale honeycomb structure obtained on the silicon surface
was 2.22 μm in diameter and 1.45 μm in depth. The pitch distance of honeycomb was 0.8 μm. The nano-scale
honeycomb structure obtained on the silicon surface was 780nm in diameter and 337 nm in depth. The pitch
distance of honeycomb was 225 nm. This is the novel process to obtain a honeycomb surface structure without using
any mask and photolithography process. The etching process was no needed, too.

description: We study the dissipative dynamics of a two-level system under ultrastrong driving when the frequency and strength of the exciting field exceed significantly the transition frequency. We find three qualitatively different regimes of such dynamics: 1) the collapse and revival of oscillations in the population difference, 2) the simple exponential decay of the oscillations resulting in their steady state with the finite amplitude, and 3) the steady-state stabilization of the equally populated levels. The nonmonotonic Bessel-function-like dependence on the driving strength is also predicted for the decay rate of these oscillations. The features of this dependence are determined by the relative rates of energetic relaxation and pure dephasing.

description: We utilize graded index structure and distributed Bragg reflector of a-Si to simulate enhanced light –
absorption in thin film crystalline silicon solar cells. The antireflective/high-reflective (AR/HR) structures based on
oblique angle deposition of a-Si act as both low loss window and back reflector of the thin film solar cell structure.
The graded index structure and distributed Bragg reflector are optimized to obtain maximum absorption with highest
cell efficiency. The simulation predicts significantly enhanced photon absorption between whole solar spectral range
and the highest cell efficiency was about 12% of 2 μm absorber layer. The optical simulation is performed with a
rigorous coupled wave analysis.

description: A negotiation team is a set of agents with common and possibly also conflicting preferences that forms one of the parties of a negotiation. A negotiation team is involved in two decision making processes simultaneously, a negotiation with the opponents, and an intra-team process to decide on the moves to make in the negotiation. This article focuses on negotiation team decision making for circumstances that require unanimity of team decisions. Existing agent-based approaches only guarantee unanimity in teams negotiating in domains exclusively composed of predictable and compatible issues. This article presents a model for negotiation teams that guarantees unanimous team decisions in domains consisting of predictable and compatible, and also unpredictable issues. Moreover, the article explores the influence of using opponent, and team member models in the proposing strategies that team members use. Experimental results show that the team benefits if team members employ Bayesian learning to model their teammates' preferences.

description: Star-planet tidal interactions may result in the excitation of inertial waves in the convective region of stars. In low-mass stars, their dissipation plays a prominent role in the long-term orbital evolution of short-period planets. Turbulent convection can sustain differential rotation in their envelope, with an equatorial acceleration (as in the Sun) or deceleration, which can modify the waves' propagation properties. We explore in this first paper the general propagation properties of free linear inertial waves in a differentially rotating homogeneous fluid inside a spherical shell. We assume that the angular velocity background flow depends on the latitudinal coordinate only, close to what is expected in the external convective envelope of low-mass stars. We use i) an analytical approach in the inviscid case to get the dispersion relation, from which we compute the characteristic trajectories along which energy propagates. This allows us to study the existence of attractor cycles and infer the different families of inertial modes; ii) high-resolution numerical calculations based on a spectral method for the viscous problem. We find that modes that propagate in the whole shell (D modes) behave the same way as with solid-body rotation. However, another family of inertial modes exists (DT modes), which can propagate only in a restricted part of the convective zone. Our study shows that they are less common than D modes and that the characteristic rays and shear layers often focus towards a wedge - or point-like attractor. More importantly, we find that for non-axisymmetric oscillation modes, shear layers may cross a corotation resonance with a local accumulation of kinetic energy. Their damping rate scales very differently from what we obtain for standard D modes and we show an example where it is independent of viscosity (Ekman number) in the astrophysical regime in which it is small.

Exploring PTEN-derived Noncoding RNA’s Function in Breast Cancer
Creators: name: Hasna, Hana
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: In breast cancer, a common alteration involves the inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN. PTEN typically prevents the overstimulation of the AKT pathway, slowing cell proliferation. While the mechanisms by which PTEN is reduced are understood in some breast cancer cases, others show unexplained PTEN reduction. We previously investigated a post-transcriptional mechanism involving the splicing of PTEN's first intron, which is a minor intron. Our data showed that the unspliced minor intron is cleaved and polyadenylated, forming a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that acts independently from the PTEN protein. Preliminary data also showed that this lncRNA affects cell proliferation and migration. We aimed to understand the functional mechanisms of this lncRNA through several phenotypic studies after overexpressing the lncRNA into breast cancer cell lines. Additionally, we aimed to confirm whether this lncRNA functions via micro-RNA sequestering and whether blocking the binding of the lncRNA to the microRNA will alter its cellular behavior. To verify whether the lncRNA is indeed responsible for changing cellular behavior, we determined the site of lncRNA formation to assess its potential as a target for intervention. Our data suggests that this novel lncRNA has a crucial role in regulating breast cancer cell proliferation and thus could be targeted therapeutically.

description: The electro-chemical capacitance voltage (ECV) doping profiling technique has recently gained interest for the application of dopant profiling of solar cells. Because the diode does not need to be metallised, the device’s active doping concentration can be analysed prior to the metallisation process. In this work, we apply the ECV method to non-metallised polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film solar cells on glass to measure the active dopant concentration and to determine the p-n junction depth. We anneal our poly-Si thin-film solar cells at different temperatures (TRTA) using a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) furnace to obtain different doping profiles. The doping concentration is measured with the ECV method. In addition, the sheet resistance (Rsheet) and the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the samples are measured using the four-point probe (4PP) method and the Suns-Voc method, respectively. We find that with increasing RTA temperature the Voc initially increases, then saturates, and then decreases. The
junction depth is found to increase monotonically with increasing RTA temperature.

description: In many transition metal oxides (TMOs), oxygen stoichiometry is one of the most critical parameters that plays a key role in determining the structural, physical, optical, and electrochemical properties of the material. However, controlling the growth to obtain high quality single crystal films having the right oxygen stoichiometry, especially in a high vacuum environment, has been viewed as a challenge. In this work, we show that through proper control of the plume kinetic energy, stoichiometric crystalline films can be synthesized without generating oxygen defects, even in high vacuum. We use a model homoepitaxial system of SrTiO3 (STO) thin films on single crystal STO substrates. Physical property measurements indicate that oxygen vacancy generation in high vacuum is strongly influenced by the energetics of the laser plume, and it can be controlled by proper laser beam delivery. Therefore, our finding not only provides essential insight into oxygen stoichiometry control in high vacuum for understanding the fundamental properties of STO-based thin films and heterostructures, but expands the utility of pulsed laser epitaxy of other materials as well.

description: Light trapping is essential for ~2um poly-Si thin-film solar cells due to weak absorption of the near
infrared light and is generally realized by texturing glass. Nano-imprinting is one such method texturing glass. It capable
of producing textures in a well controlled way and is a cheap and fast way of transferring micro/ nanometer patterns,
which potentially can be implemented in a roll-to-roll approach. It is developed in this work to transfer patterns from

description: We present an analysis of physical conditions in the Orion Veil, a largely atomic PDR that lies just in front (about 2 pc) of the Trapezium stars. We have obtained 21 cm HI and 18 cm OH VLA Zeeman effect data. These data yield images of the line-of-sight magnetic field strength Blos in atomic and molecular regions of the Veil. We find Blos is typically -50 to -75 microgauss in the atomic gas across much of the Veil (25" resolution); Blos is -350 microgauss at one position in the molecular gas (40" resolution). The Veil has two principal HI velocity components. Magnetic and kinematical data suggest a close connection between these components. They may represent gas on either side of a shock wave preceding a weak-D ionization front. Magnetic fields in the Veil HI components are 3-5 times stronger than they are elsewhere in the ISM where N(H) and n(H) are comparable. The HI components are magnetically subcritical (magnetically dominated), like the CNM, although they are about 1 dex denser. Strong fields in the Veil HI components may have resulted from low turbulence conditions in the diffuse gas that gave rise to OMC-1. Strong fields may also be related to magnetostatic equilibrium that has developed in the Veil since star formation. We consider the location of the Orion-S molecular core, proposing a location behind the main Orion H+ region.

description: Objective Personality psychology has traditionally focused on stable between-person differences. Yet, recent theoretical developments and empirical insights have led to a new conceptualization of personality as a dynamic system (e.g., Cybernetic Big Five Theory). Such dynamic systems comprise several components that need to be conceptually distinguished and mapped to a statistical model for estimation. Method In the current work, we illustrate how common components from these new dynamic personality theories may be implemented in a continuous time-modeling framework. Results As an empirical example, we reanalyze experience sampling data with N = 180 persons (with on average T = 40 [SD = 8] measurement occasions) to investigate four different effects between momentary happiness, momentary extraverted behavior, and the perception of a situation as social: (1) between-person effects, (2) contemporaneous effects, (3) autoregressive effects, and (4) cross-lagged effects. Conclusion We highlight that these four effects must not necessarily point in the same direction, which is in line with assumptions from dynamic personality theories.

description: We systemically investigated antireflection and absorption characteristics of thin film crystalline Si (c-
Si) incorporating submicrometer scale hole structure depending on geometrical parameters of the hole via simulation
for solar cell applications. The solar-weighted reflectance (SWR) and the ultimate efficiency (u) corresponding to
variation in geometrical features of the nanohole such as surface diameter, bottom diameter, period, and depth were
calculated to evaluate the effective antireflection and absorption capability by considering the intensive solar energy
spectrum. The submicrometer hole structures significantly reduced the SWR and enhanced the u compared to flat
surface. In particular, the truncated-cone-hole exhibited lower SWR and higher u compared to perfect-cone-hole
structure (with zero bottom diameter) and conventional nanohole structure (with a surface diameter equal to bottom
diameter). The thin film c-Si with truncated-cone-hole demonstrated the highest u of ~32.37%, which is larger
compared to the conventional nanohole structure (~29.98%) and more than double for the flat surface (~14.23%),
when the parameters were optimized. This structural design provides a guideline leading to optimal cell efficiency.

description: The buffer layers of indium-based chalcogenide compound semiconductor were deposited on the sodalime
glass substrates by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) process. The effects of pH values, acetic acid
concentrations, and thioacetamide concenrations on the surface morphologies and film compositions of In(S,O,OH)
films were investigated. The as-deposited films containing indium sulfide, indium oxide, and indium hydroxide were
verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of binding energy spectra of indium and oxygen. The
indium-based buffer layers deposited by the CBD process were thus described as In(S,O,OH) films. The surface
morphologies of In(S,O,OH) films were assessed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The
smooth surface morphologies of In(S,O,OH) films with a conformal coverage on the glass substrates were achieved
by optimizing the pH values, acetic acid concentrations, and thioacetamide concentrations in the deposition bath. The
hexagonal and cubic crystal structure coexisted in the CBD In(S,O,OH) films. The bandgap energy of as-deposited
In(S,O,OH) films was determined from the optical absorption data, revealing the optical bandgap energy of around
2.57eV.

description: To maximise the degree of light incoupling, therefore improving the short circuit current and efficiency of
solar cells, a novel subwavelength (SW) structured ‘moth-eye’ antireflection coating (ARC) is formed on the sun-facing
side of the glass superstrate. This moth-eye structure in theory can suppress reflection entirely in the 300-1200nm
wavelength range. It is produced by fabricating a mask, followed by reactive ion etch (RIE). In this paper, we present a
novel etch mask, a random Ag nanoparticle array on glass with feature size ranging from ~50nm to ~350nm. The
subwavelength features can be adjusted by varying the size, shape and distribution of the Ag nanoparticle array, which in
turn is tuned by varying as-deposited Ag thickness. The optimal structures reduce reflection loss by a current equivalent
of 1.25mA/cm2 for a 3.3mm borosilicate glass (BSG) superstrate and enhances Jsc by 3.4% on average for 2.4μm poly-Si
thin-film solar cells on 3.3mm BSG.
On Si film side of the glass surface, a preliminary modulated texture investigation, consisting of growing SW structure on
micron sized Aluminium Induced Textured (AIT) glass reduced reflection loss by ~7% compared to original AIT
samples.

The occurrence of a Mott-like gap in single-particle spectra of electron systems possessing flat bands

description: An unconventional type of the Mott's insulators where the gap in the spectrum of single-particle excitations is associated with repulsive effective interactions between quasiparticles is shown to exist in strongly correlated electron systems of solids that possess flat bands. The occurrence of this gap is demonstrated to be the consequence of violation of particle-hole symmetry, inherent in such systems. The results obtained are applied to elucidate the Fermi arc structure observed at temperatures up to $100\,$ K in angle-resolved photoemission spectra of the compound Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, not showing superconductivity down to low $T$.

description: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering technique
with argon and hydrogen plasma mixture on Al deposited by thermal evaporation on glass substrates. The a-Si:H/Al/glass
structure with different amorphous silicon thickness ranging from 200 to 1000nm were annealed at 550°C during 4 hours
in vacuum-sealed bulb. The effects of amorphous silicon thickness on optical, structural and morphological properties of
the vacuum-annealed a-Si:H/Al/glass are presented in this contribution. The Raman results clearly evidenced that a-Si:H
film which has the same thickness as that aluminum layer presents a better crystallisation with a peak position at about
520 cm-1, which is very similar to the Raman pattern of crystalline silicon (c-Si). The presence of a high intensity peak at 520 cm−1 suggests that the Si crystallites are formed during Al assisted crystallization. XRD measurements clearly
evidence that poly-Si is successfully induced by aluminum induced crystallization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon
thin films. By increasing the thickness of a-Si:H films the intensity of the peak related to Si(111) plane increases,
probably due to a preferential growth of the grains in <111> direction. XRD measurements carried out on uncoated
aluminum parts, reveal the presence of the peaks characteristic of crystalline silicon for the thickness of 300nm. This
result clearly shows lateral crystallization with an estimated crystalline fraction of 46%. This lateral crystallization
remains weak for the thick layers and was favored when the thickness ratio between Al and a-Si:H is equal to 1.
