Silicon heterojunction solar cells have record-high open-circuit voltages but suffer from reduced short-circuit currents due in large part to parasitic absorption in the amorphous silicon, transparent conductive oxide (TCO), and metal layers. We previously identified and quantified visible and ultraviolet parasitic ab…

Biological nitrogen fixation, the reduction of N(2) to two NH(3) molecules, supports more than half the human population. The predominant form of the enzyme nitrogenase, which catalyzes this reaction, comprises an electron-delivery Fe protein and a catalytic MoFe protein. Although nitrogenase has been studied extensiv…

The different low index surface terminations of lithium tetraborate, Li(2)B(4)O(7), are dominated by electronic states that fall within the band gap of the projection of the bulk states. As a pyroelectric material, lithium tetraborate, Li(2)B(4)O(7), is a wide band gap dielectric, yet the (110) surface has a much smal…

Abstract The Jahn‐Teller distortion properties of Cu 0.47 Ni 0.48 Mn 0.55 [Fe(CN) 6 ] · 7.8H 2 O were studied by powder X‐ray diffraction measurements in the temperature region from 80 to 298 K. In the cooling process, a new peak labeled “a” near the (220) peak appears at 110 K. Conversely, as the sample is warmed to…

Switching speeds of nematic liquid crystal (LC) cells in the sub-millisecond range are observed for 3-D patterned self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) substrates. To achieve such fast LC response and relaxation times, thermal treatments of the patterned SAM-on-ITO are required, increasing the rel…

The flexural properties of poly-L-lactide (PLLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) shape memory composites filled with nanometer calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) were determined at room temperature. The results showed that with the increase of the nano-CaCO3 weight fraction the flexural moduli and strength of PCL/nano-CaCO3 co…

This work is devoted to the decomposition of gaseous HCN by oxidation with air catalyzed by different nickel containing catalysts. The presence of metallic nickel does not cause the decomposition of cyanide at 400 °C, but NiO, electrochemical prepared nickel oxides Ni 2 O 3 · x H 2 O and (β,γ)-NiOOH exhibit distinctly…

A new way of generating large plastic strain in a billet by splitting it plastically by a reciprocating punch is investigated. The concept of incremental angular splitting (I-AS) is explained by referring to the severe plastic deformation process of incremental equal channel angular pressing (I-ECAP). Results of labor…
