An unsupervised method for estimating the global horizontal irradiance from photovoltaic power measurements

Lorenzo Nespoli

The precise calculation of solar irradiance is pivotal for forecasting the electric power generated by PV plants. However, on-ground measurements are expensive and are generally not performed for small and medium-sized PV plants. Satellite-based services r ...

Spin waves with large decay length and few 100 nm wavelengths in thin yttrium iron garnet grown at the wafer scale

Dirk Grundler

Using conventional coplanar waveguides (CPWs), we excited spin waves with a wavelength λ down to 310 nm in a 200 nm thin yttrium iron garnet film grown by liquid phase epitaxy. Spin-wave transmission was detected between CPWs that we separated by up to 2 m ...

Sputtering-induced reemergence of the topological surface state in Bi2Se3

Jan Hugo Dil, Thorsten Schmitt, Stefan Peter Muff

We study the fate of the surface states of Bi2Se3 under disorder with strength larger than the bulk gap, caused by neon sputtering and nonmagnetic adsorbates. We find that neon sputtering introduces strong but dilute defects, which can be modeled by a unit ...
