Highly-flexible, ITO-free dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are fabricated in a simple, all-solution-based, facile, and controllable way. A double mesh structure is applied to DSSCs, and the design principles, especially scale parameters, are analyzed delicately to ensure the power conversion efficiency and mechanica…

This paper reports a simplified and compact mechanical scheme designed for providing alternatively high flux or high spectral resolution from a monochromator for the 2 - 14 keV X-ray range in a stationary spot at a sample. The example case treats a bending magnet source at the Elettra storage ring. The properties of t…

We compare six lithium potentials by examining their ability to predict coexistence properties and liquid structure using molecular dynamics. All potentials are of the embedded-atom method type. The coexistence properties we focus on are the melting curve, vapor pressure, saturated liquid density, and vapor-liquid sur…

ZnO/ZnSxSe1−x core–shell nanowire arrays on a silicon substrate were successfully prepared via a hydrothermal method followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of the ZnSxSe1−x shell. By optimizing the CVD growth conditions, a crystalline ZnSxSe1−x shell and well-aligned ZnO/ZnSxSe1−x interface were achieved, which p…
