Books by Keyword: Polycrystalline Silicon

Description: The 39th volume of the Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials includes articles that review the zinc oxide crystal growth process with and without adding the graphene oxide, as well as analyse the microstructure and semiconductor properties of finished materials. The results of transmission electron microscope analysis of polycrystalline silicon for thin film solar cells and investigation of methods for synthesis and properties study of nickel-zinc nanoferrites and cadmium-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles are also presented in this volume. This issue will be helpful to specialists in materials science and applied nanotechnologies.

Description:

This journal volume presents results on the investigation of the characteristics of polycrystalline silicon thin film for solar cells and the development of the electrical model of an electrochemical cell with solid polymer electrolyte. Readers can also look at the results of the design and experimental investigation of cube satellite, pico hydro generator for the low energy consumption, and agricultural drone. The structural elements of these devices were produced by 3D printing technologies. The volume also presents the results of an experimental investigation of the thermal performance of the smart passive cooling roof system for residential buildings.

Description: The question of the interrelationship between diffusion and stress is almost as old as the investigation of diffusion itself. Nowadays, the study of various diffusion and solid-state reaction processes in thin films and multilayers is a vital area of research activity in which, inevitably, diffusion-induced or thermal stresses are of primary importance.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book comprises the over 100 contributions that were presented at the International Conference on Polycrystalline Semiconductors which took place from September 10 to 13, 2002, in Nara, Japan.

Description: This fifth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared within the approximate period of mid-2001 to mid-2002. The scope of this coverage again includes, in addition to traditional semiconductors, the increasingly important carbide, nitride and silicide semiconductors. Semiconducting oxides are not covered, as information on these can be found in the "Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics" series. However, the invited papers this time deal exclusively with staple semiconducting materials: including work on interstitial clusters, intrinsic point defects, and {113} defects in silicon; defect states in InAs quantum dots and defect generation at ZnSe/GaAs interfaces. There are also papers treating a wide range of general themes: such as tracer diffusion in a concentrated lattice gas, defect luminescence in layered chalcogenide semiconductors, defect formation after laser thermal processing, redistribution of point defects in an inhomogeneous temperature field, and very general mathematical techniques for determining basic diffusion parameters.

Description: This book comprises the contributions to the sixth conference on polycrystalline semiconductors (POLYSE).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The conference covered many aspects of polycrystalline semiconductors, but was more applications-oriented than on previous occasions; thereby reflecting the rapid evolution of these technologies. POLYSE 2000 brought together research specialists from >basic research, as well as from research & development engineering, all of whom are working on devices such as thin-film transistors, micro-electromechanical systems, or sensors and actuators. In particular, ten internationally recognized scientists (J. Morante, S.Périchon, M. Konagai, S. Wagner, R. Hagenbeck, D.A. Bonnell, G. Horowitz, T.Fuyuki, J. Kocka and V. Chuwere) were invited to review their work on several interesting and promising aspects of the subject: such as, micro-systems, solar cells, thin-film transistors, organic polycrystalline devices and polycrystalline ceramics.

Description: The early chapters comprehensively review the optical and transport properties of silicon. Light trapping is described in detail. Limits on the efficiency of silicon cells are discussed as well as material requirements necessary to approach these limits. The status of current approaches to passifying surfaces, contacts and bulk regions is reviewed. The final section of the book describes the most practical approaches to the fabrication of high-efficiency cells capable of meeting the efficiency targets for both concentrated and non-concentrated sunlight, including a discussion of design and processing approaches for non-crystalline silicon.
