Chemical Trend of Nonradiative Recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Alloys

Stefano Falletta

Nonradiative recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells has long been attributed to the antisite defects MCu (M = In, Ga), but the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Using rigorous first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the antisites ...

Whirling instability of an eccentric coated fibre

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser, Shahab Eghbali

We study a gravity-driven viscous flow coating a vertical cylindrical fibre. The destabilisation of a draining liquid column into a downward moving train of beads has been linked to the conjunction of the Rayleigh-Plateau and Kapitza instabilities in the l ...
