DFT-based calculations of silicon complex structures in the KF-KCl-K2SiF6 and KF-KCl-K2SiF6-SiO2 melts

The redox chemistry of niobium(V) fluoro and oxofluoro complexes in LiF-NaF-KF melts

The electrochemical behavior of niobium(V) fluoro and oxofluoro complexes in eutectic LiF-NaF-KF (FLINAK) melts at 700°C has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. The fluoro complexes NbF, introduced into the melt by the addition of K2NbF7, can be reduced to niobium metal in two reversible steps involving one and four electrons, respectively. At 700°C the diffusion constants of the fluoro niobate...

Liquid-Tin-Assisted Molten Salt Electrodeposition of Photoresponsive n-Type Silicon Films

Production of silicon film directly by electrodeposition from molten salt would have utility in the manufacturing of photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices owing to the simplicity of the process and the attendant low capital and operating costs. Here, dense and uniform polycrystalline silicon films (thickness up to 60 μm) are electrodeposited on graphite sheet substrates at 650 °C from molten ...

KF metamodel formalization

The KF metamodel [Keet and Fillottrani, 2013, Keet and Fillottrani, 2014] is a comprehensive unifying metamodel covering the static structural entities and constraints of UML Class Diagrams (v2.4.1), ER, EER, ORM, and ORM2, and intended to boost interoperability of common conceptual data modelling languages. It was originally designed in UML with textual constraints, and in this report we prese...

The KF: Navigation's Integration Workhorse

Since its introduction in 1960, the Kalman filter has become an integral component in thousands of military and civilian navigation systems. This deceptively simple, recursive digital algorithm has been an early-on favorite for conveniently integrating (or fusing) navigation sensor data to achieve optimal overall system performance. To provide current estimates of the system variables -such as ...
