Researchers at Delft University of Technology, led by assistant professor Richard Norte, have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous ...

Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

Fine-tuning the thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon used in technologies such as solar cells and image sensors should become much easier thanks to the computational topology and machine-learning ...

(A) polysilicon and (B) amorphous silicon (D = 400 nm) cylinder when the laser power density is 1.00×10 5 W/cm 2. Maximum temperature rises of the (C) polysilicon and (D) amorphous silicon metasurface ...

pv magazine: In “Solar Cells and Modules,” which was recently published by Springer, you dedicate a long chapter to amorphous silicon solar cells, which is very much still a niche technology reserved ...

Scientists in Europe took a very close look at the thin amorphous silicon layers used in heterojunction and tandem solar cells, building a full picture of the material’s structure at the nanoscale.

For the first time, a team has identified the atomic substructure of amorphous silicon with a resolution of 0.8 nanometers using X-ray and neutron scattering at BESSY II and BER II. Such a-Si:H thin ...

Lateral crystallization of silicon thin films has emerged as a promising technique for the fabrication of state‐of‐the‐art transistor devices. This method promotes the growth of highly oriented ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...
