KBaPO4 – recently reported to hydrate in steam at 80°C into a novel low-temperature protonic conductor – was synthesized by a solid state reaction and its electrical properties characterized by impedance spectroscopy. At ...

The single-photon detectionefficiency of the detector unit is crucial for the security of common quantum key distribution protocols like Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84). A low value for the efficiency indicates a possible ...

Conventional textbook treatments on electromagnetic wave propagation consider the induced charge and current densities as “bound” and therefore absorb them into a refractive index. In principle, it must also be possible ...

Ultraviolet (UV) SO2 cameras have become a common tool to measure and monitor SO2 emission rates, mostly from volcanoes but also from anthropogenic sources (e.g., power plants or ships). Over the past decade, the analysis ...

We present a method for extracting local recombination rates from photoluminescence images of double side passivated wafers, using simulations of lateral charge carrier diffusion in two dimensions. By fitting the simulated ...

In this paper we present a novel method for measuring temperature dependent lifetime images with high spatial resolution using photoconductance calibrated photoluminescence (PL) imaging. In order to achieve this, PL images ...

Results for (La,Mg)Ni3.5 and (La,Mg)(Ni,Al)3.5 systems synthesized by metallurgical and mechanochemical techniques are reported. Powder X-ray and neutron diffraction combined with Rietveld refinements and profile analysis ...
