Characteristic material parameters of CIGS solar cell related with device performance

CIGS solar cells with power conversion efficiency (PCE) in the range of 1.82%–12.30% were obtained by using two-step process, and were further analyzed through various measurement techniques. Material parameters showed diverse values and some trends depending on the device performance. The lower performance device showed small integrated PL intensity, short minority life time, larger defect density and lower activation energy, whereas the higher performance device showed opposite values. We investigated relationship between material parameters and PCE of solar cells, and found that some physical parameters such as integrated PL intensity, minority life time, defect density, and difference between band gap and activation energy (E_g-E_a), which all reflect defect states in bulk and at pn interface, are strongly related with PCE and would be used as a good indicator to evaluate device performance quickly.     

Laser conditioning of high-reflective and anti-reflective coatings in vacuum environments

Laser conditioning effects of the dielectric mirror coatings in vacuum environments were investigated. The laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) in vacuum environments before and after laser conditioning were compared. It is found that laser conditioning in vacuum environments decrease the LIDT of the component. Laser conditioning effects in vacuum and atmosphere environments were also compared and investigated. The negative effects of laser conditioning in vacuum environments were discussed and analyzed with defect statistical model, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and absorption measurements.     

Defect structure of quenched γ-BICOVOX by combined X-ray and neutron powder diffraction

A detailed investigation of the defect structure of the Co doped BIMEVOX solid electrolyte, Bi₂V_{1 − x}Co_xO_{5.5 − 3x/2} (x = 0.1 and x = 0.2), quenched from high temperature, has been carried out using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data measured at room temperature. The structure is built up from alternating layers of [Bi₂O₂]_n²ⁿ⁺ and [V_{1 − x}Co_xO_{3.5 − 3x/2}]_n²ⁿ⁻ with disorder limited to the vanadate layer. The ideal V/Co co-ordination is octahedral with corner sharing of equatorial oxygens. The refinements show that the true structure is distorted, with disorder in both apical and equatorial oxygens and oxygen vacancies concentrated in the equatorial positions. Detailed analysis of the oxygen site occupancies reveals two main types of V/Co co-ordination viz. distorted octahedral and distorted tetrahedral. The majority of the sites in both compositions are tetrahedral.     

Detection and tracking strategy for license plate detection in video

In this paper, we present a novel method to detect license plates in video sequences automatically. The framework mainly integrates the cascade detectors method and the Tracking Learning Detection (TLD) algorithm. The cascade detectors are used to detect license plates, and the TLD algorithm is adopted to track the license plate regions. The license plates in the first frame image are detected by the cascade detectors to build the original tracking list, the tracking results and the detection results in following frames will be compared, and the newly appearing license plate information will be added to the tracking list. Meanwhile, the tracking results existing in the current tracking list would be replaced by the corresponding detection results with higher degree of confidence. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm for license plate detection task on a road intersection dataset, and the experimental evaluation shows the detection performance has been greatly improved by synthetically using the detection and tracking strategy.     

Tuning magnetism of monolayer GaN by vacancy and nonmagnetic chemical doping

In view of important role of inducing and manipulating the magnetism in 2D materials for the development of low-dimensional spintronic devices, the magnetism of GaN monolayer with Ga vacancy and nonmagnetic chemical doping are investigated using first-principles calculations. It is found that pure GaN monolayer has graphene-like structure and is nonmagnetic. While, a neutral Ga vacancy can induce 3 μ_B intrinsic magnetic moment, localized mainly on the neighboring N atoms. Interestingly, after one Mg or Si atom doping in g-GaN with Ga vacancy, the magnetic moment can be modified to 4 μ_B or 2 μ_B respectively due to the change in hole number. Meantime, Mg-doped g-GaN with Ga vacancy shows half-metal character. With the increasing of doping concentrations, the magnetic moment can be further tuned. The results are interesting from a theoretical point of view and may open opportunities for these 2D GaN based materials in magnetic devices.     

Inhibiting Ion Migration Through Chemical Polymerization and Chemical Chelation Toward Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

The migration of ions is known to be associated with various detrimental phenomena, including current density-voltage hysteresis, phase segregation, etc., which significantly limit the stability and performance of perovskite solar cells, impeding their progress toward commercial applications. To address these challenges, we propose incorporating a polymerizable organic small molecule monomer, N-carbamoyl-2-propan-2-ylpent-4-enamide (Apronal), into the perovskite film to form a crosslinked polymer (P-Apronal) through thermal crosslinking. The carbonyl and amino groups in Apronal effectively interact with shallow defects, such as uncoordinated Pb²⁺ and iodide vacancies, leading to the formation of high-quality films with enhanced crystallinity and reduced lattice strain. Furthermore, the introduction of P-Apronal improves energy level alignment, and facilitates charge carrier extraction and transport, resulting in a champion efficiency of 25.09 %. Importantly, P-Apronal can effectively suppress the migration of I⁻ ions and improve the long-term stability of the devices. The present strategy sets forth a path to attain long-term stability and enhanced efficiency in perovskite solar cells.

Direct Observation of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides in Liquid with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

We present atomic-resolution images of TiSe\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}, MoTe\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} and TaS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} single crystals in liquid condition using our home-built scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). By facilely cleaving of single crystals in liquid, we were able to keep the fresh surface not oxidized within a few hours. Using the high-stable home-built STM, we have obtained atomic resolution images of TiSe\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} accompanied with the single atom defects as well as the triangle defects in solution for the first time. Besides, the superstructure of MoTe\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} and hexagonal charge-density wave domain structure in nearly commensurate phase of TaS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} were also obtained at room temperature (295 K). Our results provide a more efficient method in investigating the lively surface of transition metal dichalcogenides. Besides, the high stable liquid-phase STM will support the further investigations in liquid-phase catalysis or electrochemistry.
