Micro-concentrator photovoltaic (CPV), incorporating micro-scale solar cells within concentrator modules, promises an inexpensive and highly efficient technology that can mitigate the drawbacks impede standard CPV, such as resistive power losses. In this paper, we fabricate multijunction designed for micro-CPV applications. A generic process flow, including plasma etching steps, was developed f...

We generally investigate a new class of scalar field model with the lagrangian L = F (X) − V (φ). We find that it is the square potential(with a negative minimum) drives the usual linear field solution while in K-essence model the potential should be taken as a inverse square form. The linear field solution model is isomorphic with a special model where its sound speed diverges. We find that ou...

The Moller operators and the asociated Lippman-Schwinger equations obtained from different partitionings of the Hamiltonian for a step-like potential barrier are worked out, compared and related.

The continuum mechanic simulation of micro-structural damage process is important in the study of ductile fracture mechanics. In this paper, the continuum damage mechanics model formulation proposed by Lematire has been validated against ductile damage evolution experimentally measured in A533B-C1 steel under stress triaxiality conditions. First, a &#10procedure to identify the model parameters...

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...
