Grain boundaries in CdTe thin film solar cells: a review
The current state of knowledge on the impact of grain boundaries in CdTe solar cells is reviewed with emphasis being placed on working cell structures. The role of the chemical composition of grain boundaries as well as growth processes are discussed, along with characterisation techniques such as electron beam induced current and cathodoluminescence, which are capable of extracting information...
متن کاملQuasistatic evolution of a brittle thin film
This paper deals with the quasistatic crack growth of a homogeneous elastic brittle thin film. It is shown that the quasistatic evolution of a three-dimensional cylinder converges, as its thickness tends to zero, to a two-dimensional quasistatic evolution associated with the relaxed model. Firstly, a Γ-convergence analysis is performed with a surface energy density which does not provide weak c...
متن کاملKinetics of thin-film reactions of Cu/a-Ge bilayers
The kinetics of the Cu3Ge phase formation during reactions between 600 nm polycrystalline Cu ~poly-Cu! and 600 nm amorphous Ge ~a-Ge! layers on Si ~100! substrates have been studied as a function of annealing conditions. Monoclinic Cu3Ge nucleated rapidly, resulting in smooth Cu3Ge layers. The room-temperature resistivity of the Cu3Ge was ;8 mV cm ~;4.5 times that of pure Cu!. The real-time res...
متن کاملAb initio structure modelling of complex thin-film oxides: thermodynamical stability of TiC/thin-film alumina.
We present a strategy to identify energetically favourable oxide structures in thin-film geometries. Thin-film candidate configurations are constructed from a pool of sublattices of stable and metastable oxide bulk phases. Favourable stoichiometric compositions and atomic geometries are identified by comparing total and Gibbs free energies of the relaxed configurations. This strategy is illustr...
متن کاملThin Film Evolution over a Thin Porous Layer: Modeling a Tear Film on a Contact Lens
We examine a mathematical model describing the behavior of the precontact lens tear film of a human eye. Our work examines the effect of contact lens thickness and lens permeability on the film dynamics. Also investigated are gravitational effects and the effects of different slip models at the fluid-lens interface. A mathematical model for the evolution of the tear film is derived using a lubr...
