We investigated the use of plasmonic nanotechnology to enhance the performance of semiconductor infrared detectors. An increase of quantum efficiency, responsivity and specific detectivity is obtained by applying transparent conductive oxide (TCO) nanoparticles onto the surface of a photodetector. To this purpose we considered uncooled mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) photoconductive detector...

Resistive losses in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells are partly linked to transport barriers at the amorphous silicon/crystalline (a-Si:H/c-Si) and transparent conductive oxide (TCO)/a-Si:H interfaces. A key parameter is position of Fermi-level on either side junction which we modify by a systematic doping variation oxide. We identify charge carrier concentration be main driver for low ...

Due to their excellent antimicrobial properties, essential oils (EO) have been proposed as potential preservatives for certain kinds of foods, such dairy products. However, the occurrence pathogenic populations that are resistant EOs could pose a health risk. This report seeks assess emergence in Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e growth at 37 °C under selective pressure Thymbra capitata EO (TCO), ch...

Abstract. While the impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on stratospheric circulation has been long recognized, its effects ozone have less investigated. In particular, different ENSO flavors, eastern Pacific (EP) Niño and central (CP) Niño, driving mechanisms for variations not investigated to date. This study aims explore these open questions by examining anomalies in advective trans...

The technetium isotope (99)Tc is a major fission product from nuclear reactors. Ultimately it is disposed of as radioactive waste since it has few applications outside of scientific research. Geochemical modeling of the dissolution of nuclear waste and of the solubility and speciation of the dissolved radionuclides in groundwater is an important part of the Performance Assessment for the safety...

The concept of blockchain and cryptocurrencies is one the most popular concepts recent years. Cryptocurrencies were first introduces with Bitcoin in 2008 now they have an increasing variety popularity. Recent developments technology firms brought into question whether there a relationship between indexes. To this end, study investigates causality indexes using monthly data years 2016 2021 G7 E7...

Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin films are highly desired as electrodes for modern flat-panel displays and solar cells. Alternative indium-free TCO materials needed, because of the scarcity high price indium. Based on mechanism resonant doping, Ta has been identified an effective dopant SnO2 to achieve transparent TCO. In this work, we fabricated a series Ta-doped (Sn1−xTaxO2, x = 0.001,...

Executive Summary The overall concept of Total Cost of Ownership for server clusters has been an important issue within the IT community for many years. Numerous studies and customer experiences have proven that purchase price alone is not an adequate measurement to compare server clusters from various vendors. Usually other factors, including the costs to manage and maintain the servers, as we...

The deposition of transparent conductive oxides (TCO) usually employs harsh conditions that are frequently harmful to soft/organic underlayers. Herein, successful use an industrial pulsed laser (PLD) tool directly deposit indium tin oxide (ITO) films on semitransparent vacuum-deposited perovskite solar cells without damage the device stack is demonstrated. morphological, electronic, and optical...
