The a-Si:H / c-Si heterostructure, is an attractive solution to avoid the presence of highly recombinative metal contacts at the surfaces of c-Si based solar cells. To assure good interface passivation, insertion of a sandwiched thin device-grade intrinsic ...
Rare-earth-ion doped KY(WO4)2 (hereafter KYW:RE) is a promising material for novel solid-state lasers. Its low laser threshold, high laser efficiency, and third-order nonlinear effects have stimulated research towards miniaturized thin-film waveguide laser ...
The continued drive for increased efficiency, performance and reduced costs for aircraft and industrial gas turbines demands extended use of high temperature materials, such as single crystal nickel based superalloys. The cost for hot section components us ...
