Enhancing the optoelectronic properties of amorphous zinc tin oxide by subgap defect passivation: A theoretical and experimental demonstration

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Monica Morales Masis, Jakub Holovsky, Oscar Esteban Rucavado Leandro, Federica Landucci

The link between sub-bandgap states and optoelectronic properties is investigated for amorphous zinc tin oxide (a-ZTO) thin films deposited by RF sputtering. a-ZTO samples were annealed up to 500 °C in oxidizing, neutral, and reducing atmospheres before ch ...

Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...

Early-stage oxidation behavior at high temperatures of SiSiC cellular architectures in a porous burner

Sophia Haussener, Ehsan Rezaei

Early stage oxidation behavior of SiSiC cellular lattices with different cell types was studied at 1400 degrees C in two different environments: a porous burner and an electric furnace with stagnant air. Oxidation and silicon alloy bead formation were obse ...

A universal chemical potential for sulfur vapours

Davide Tiana

The unusual chemistry of sulfur is illustrated by the tendency for catenation. Sulfur forms a range of open and closed S-n species in the gas phase, which has led to speculation on the composition of sulfur vapours as a function of temperature and pressure ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles supported on activated carbon fibers catalyze chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes under mild conditions

Lioubov Kiwi, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Oliver Anthony Beswick

Highly dispersed iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on structured supports of activated carbon fibers (ACF). Systematic catalyst characterizations suggest that ACF-based catalysts remain ultra-microporous after Fe2O3 NPs (similar ...

Activated carbon fibers for efficient VOC removal from diluted streams: the role of surface morphology

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur

The effect of the micropore structure of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on the adsorption of toluene at low concentration (10-80 ppmv) was studied over two types of ACFs. Both adsorbents presented similar surface chemistry but different porous structure: o ...

Practical silicon deposition rules derived from silane monitoring during plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Christophe Ballif, Stefaan De Wolf, Bénédicte Demaurex

We clarify the difference between the SiH4 consumption efficiency eta and the SiH4 depletion fraction D, as measured in the pumping line and the actual reactor of an industrial plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. In the absence of significant ...

First-Principles Determination of Phonon Lifetimes, Mean Free Paths, and Thermal Conductivities in Crystalline Materials: Pure Silicon and Germanium

Nicola Marzari

The thermal properties of insulating, crystalline materials are essentially determined by their phonon dispersions, the finite-temperature excitations of their phonon populations-treated as a Bose-Einstein gas of harmonic oscillators-and the lifetimes of t ...
