Conventional silicon solar cells have a front-side contacted emitter. Back-contacted back-junction (BC-BJ) silicon solar cells, on the other hand, have both the complete metallization and the active diffused regions of ...

Zinc oxide is attractive for photovoltaic applications due to its properties as Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO), as well as for rectifying heterojunctions to silicon. The present work investigates the electrical properties ...

The band gap of semiconducting ZnO can be readily tuned through alloying it with other relevant oxides, such as CdO, consequently extending the performance of the corresponding materials and devices. In this context, one ...

Introducing Cd into ZnO allows for bandgap engineering, potentially with particularly interesting properties to observe in compositionally graded samples. In this work, compositionally graded Zn1–xCdxO samples with ...

It was recently suggested that dark matter consists of ∼ GeV particles that carry baryon number and mix with the neutron. We demonstrate that this could allow for resonant dark matter–neutron oscillations in the early ...

The Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN is the first plasma wakefield experiment to exploit the self-modulation instability in a long proton bunch in order to accelerate electrons to high energies. The first run ...

Acoustic condition monitoring is an important technology for non-invasive condition monitoring, but using robust array signal processing techniques combined with machine learning is still not a fully explored field. This ...

Numerous scientific fields including astrophysics, nuclear power, and nuclear forensics require a knowledge of basic nuclear properties for large numbers of short-lived, radioactive isotopes far removed from stable nuclei. ...
