In the branch of abstract algebra known as ring theory, a minimal right ideal of a ring R is a non-zero right ideal which contains no other non-zero right ideal. Likewise, a minimal left ideal is a non-zero left ideal of R containing no other non-zero left ideals of R, and a minimal ideal of R is a non-zero ideal containing no other non-zero two-sided ideal of R . In other words, minimal right ideals are minimal elements of the partially ordered set (poset) of non-zero right ideals of R ordered by inclusion.
Multi-junction (MJ) solar cells are solar cells with multiple p–n junctions made of different semiconductor materials. Each material's p-n junction will produce electric current in response to different wavelengths of light. The use of multiple semiconducting materials allows the absorbance of a broader range of wavelengths, improving the cell's sunlight to electrical energy conversion efficiency. Traditional single-junction cells have a maximum theoretical efficiency of 33.16%.
Une cellule solaire à pigment photosensible parfois appelée cellules Grätzel (en anglais, Dye-sensitized solar cell ou DSC) est un système photoélectrochimique inspiré de la photosynthèse végétale qui, exposé à la lumière (photons), produit de l’électricité. Elle est souvent désignée par l'acronyme dérivé de son appellation en anglais : dye-sensitized solar cell, DSC, DSSc voire DYSC). Les cellules Grätzel ont été nommées ainsi en référence à son concepteur, Michael Grätzel, de l’École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne.
A quantum dot solar cell (QDSC) is a solar cell design that uses quantum dots as the captivating photovoltaic material. It attempts to replace bulk materials such as silicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) or cadmium telluride (CdTe). Quantum dots have bandgaps that are adjustable across a wide range of energy levels by changing their size. In bulk materials, the bandgap is fixed by the choice of material(s).
In mathematics, a principal right (left) ideal ring is a ring R in which every right (left) ideal is of the form xR (Rx) for some element x of R. (The right and left ideals of this form, generated by one element, are called principal ideals.) When this is satisfied for both left and right ideals, such as the case when R is a commutative ring, R can be called a principal ideal ring, or simply principal ring. If only the finitely generated right ideals of R are principal, then R is called a right Bézout ring.
Une cellule photovoltaïque à pérovskite est un type de cellule photovoltaïque dont la couche active est constituée d'un matériau de formule générale à structure pérovskite dans laquelle A est un cation, généralement de méthylammonium (MA), de formamidinium ou de césium , B est un cation d'étain ou de plomb , et X est un anion halogénure tel que chlorure , bromure ou iodure . Le rendement des cellules photovoltaïques utilisant ces matériaux est en constante augmentation depuis la fin des années 2000.
