The temperature dependence of the capacitance of very high efficiency silicon heterojunction solar cells exhibits an anomalously large increase with temperature that cannot be explained under the usual depletion approximation. Based on a full calculation of the capacitance, we show that this large increase of capacita…

Recent developments in microscale heat exchangers have heightened the need for the understanding of fluid flow and heat transfer in a microchannel. In this study, we look into fully-developed buoyancy-driven flow in a vertical parallel-plate microchannel, which has one wall exhibiting superhydrophobic slip and tempera…

A new dinuclear manganese complex, [Mn2L2(N3)2], was prepared by reaction of bis-Schiff base N,N'-bis(5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine (H2L) with manganese acetate and sodium azide in methanol. Both the Schiff base and the complex were characterized by physico-chemical methods and single crystal X-ray…

A three-dimensional finite element solver is applied to investigate the performance of Ga2O3/GaN nanowire transistors. Experimental nanowire results of 50 nm gate length are provided to compare with the simulation, and they show good agreement. The performance of a shorter gate length (<50 nm) is studied and scaling i…

We demonstrate the growth temperature dependence of film thickness and surface roughness of ZnO films grown by atomic layer deposition using ozone as an oxidizer. The significantly low growth rate of the film using O3 precursor is attributed to the recombinative surface loss of O3. The variation of the spatial uniform…

Ag-assisted anisotropic lateral etching along the ⟨100⟩ directions in Si nanowire arrays (Si NWAs) is investigated. It is found that Ag ions, generated by H2O2 oxidation of Ag particles, re-nucleate on the sidewalls of the nanowires, causing side etching and tapering of the wires. By enhancing the side etching effect,…

We demonstrate a freestanding nanowire ring laser, assembled by splicing the two ends of a CdS nanowire via a dissolved polymer nanowire. With ring diameter of less than 50 μm, the free-standing nanowire ring laser shows low lasing threshold, high robustness, and excellent mechanical flexibility. Also, the nanowire ri…

We employ a model, in which the density fluctuations in a bulk liquid are represented as presence of the clusters of molecules with the lowered number of nearest neighbors (number of bonds). The nanobubble size distribution is calculated on the basis of a close analogy between the surface part of the work of formation…

We use internal photoemission spectroscopy to determine the conduction band offset of a type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) pBp photodetector to be 0.004 (±0.004) eV at 78 K, confirming its unipolar operation. It is also found that phonon-assisted hole transport through the B-region disables its two-color detection…
