Cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer layer is commonly used in Kesterite Cu2 ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells. However, the toxicity of (Cd) and perilous waste, which generated during deposition process (chemical bath deposition), narrow bandgap (≈2.4 eV) CdS restrict its large-scale future application. Herein, atomic (ALD) method proposed to deposit zinc-tin-oxide (ZTO) as a Ag-doped CZTSSe It found that ZTO improves band alignment at Ag-CZTSSe/ZTO heterojunction interface. The smaller...
The high cost and complex production technique restrict the use of conventional thermoelectric generators. In this work, we demonstrate a promising flexible thin film generator using N-type Al-doped ZnO P-type Zn-Sb based film. By cost-effective zinc materials substrate, greatly reduce generator. maximum output power our device with 10 couples is 246.3 μW when temperature difference 180 K. produced per couple unit was 0.14 K-couple, which about several times that other reported. low...
Abstract Kesterite Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) solar cells with CdS buffer layers have the problem of toxicity and cliff‐like energy band diagram disfavoring higher photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE (%)). The preparation method for ZnSnO which enable Cd‐free CZTS to reach certified PCE (%) 11.4 is limited atomic layer deposition sputtering severely reduces (%). Here, it showed that deposited ZnSnN an efficient cell, without antireflection coating or additional passivation its champion has...
HfO2-based dielectrics are promising for nanoscale ferroelectric applications, and the most favorable material within family is Zr-substituted hafnia, i.e., Hf1−xZrxO2 (HZO). The extent of Zr substitution can be great, x commonly set to 0.5. However, bandgap ZrO2 lower than HfO2, thus it uncertain how content should influence electronic band structure HZO. A reduced detrimental cycling endurance as charge injection dielectric breakdown would become easier. Another issue regarding comparison...
Controlling the emission efficiency, direction, and polarization of optical sources with nanoantennas is crucial importance in many nanophotonic applications. In this article, we design a subwavelength multilayer metal-dielectric nanoantenna consisting three identical gold strips that are separated by two dielectric spacers. It shown local dipole source can efficiently excite several hybridized plasmonic modes nanoantenna, including one electric (ED) magnetic (MD) resonances. The coherent...

In China, efforts are being made to monitor geoelectric fields through a large network of stations deployed and managed by the China Earthquake Administration. The diurnal variations in field waveforms were similar quiet magnetic periods when <i>K</i><5 (generally,<i>K</i><3 indicates time). arrival time points maxima exhibited differences local related geographic longitude. amplitude variation was several 16.6 mV/km decreased with increasing latitude. Further, variation, which...
Laser annealing is a usual step in the process to improve performance of amorphous InGaZnO4 (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs). However, high energy laser will induce damage a-IGZO films during annealing. Knowing induced thresholds (LIDT) and mechanisms helps use appropriate density avoid achieve best TFTs’ properties.

Transparent conductive Cu-In-O thin films were deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering. Two types of targets used. The first was In target covered with a fan-shaped Cu plate the same radius and second on which six grains 1.5mm placed equal distance between each other. samples characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), diffraction (XRD), UV/VIS spectrophotometer, four-probe measurement etc. SEM shows that surfaces all are very smooth....
