Photoluminescence-Based Spatially Resolved Temperature Coefficient Maps of Silicon Wafers and Solar Cells
2020
In this article, we present a method to obtain implied open-circuit voltage images of silicon wafers and cells at different temperatures. The proposed method is then demonstrated by investigating the temperature coefficients of various regions across multicrystalline silicon wafers and cells from different heights of two bricks with different dislocation densities. Interestingly, both low and high temperature coefficients are found in dislocated regions on the wafers. A large spread of temperature coefficient is observed at regions with similar performance at 298 K. Reduced temperature sensitivity is found to be correlated with the increasing brick height and is exhibited by both wafers and…
A Novel Method for Characterizing Temperature Sensitivity of Silicon Wafers and Cells
2019
In this paper, we present a novel method to obtain temperature dependent lifetime and implied-open-circuit voltage (iV OC ) images of silicon wafers and solar cells. First, the method is validated by comparing the obtained values with global values acquired from lifetime measurements (for wafers) and current-voltage measurements (for cells). The method is then extended to acquire spatially resolved images of iV OC temperature coefficients of silicon wafers and cells. Potential applications of the proposed method are demonstrated by investigating the temperature coefficients of various regions across multi-crystalline silicon wafers and cells from different heights of two bricks with differe…
High pressure crystal structures of orthovanadates and their properties
2020
Pressure-induced phase transitions in orthovanadates have led to interesting physical phenomena. The observed transitions usually involve large volume collapses and drastic changes in the electronic and vibrational properties of the materials. In some cases, the phase transitions implicate coordination changes in vanadium, which has important consequences in the physical properties of vanadates. In this Perspective, we explore the current knowledge of the behavior of MVO4 vanadates under compression. In particular, we summarize studies of the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties and a few illustrative examples of high-pressure research in the compounds of interest are discusse…

Luminescence of F2 and F3 + centres in LiF crystals irradiated with 12 MeV 12C ions
2018
Dependences of the nanohardness and photoluminescence of F 2 and F 3 + centers on the depth in LiF crystals irradiated with 12 MeV 12 C ions to fluences 10 10 -10 15 ions/cm 2 were studied using laser scanning confocal microscopy, luminescent spectroscopy, and the nanoindentation method. The nanohardness measurements showed a significant hardening effect at the end of the ion run with the dominant contribution of defects formed by the mechanism of elastic collisions. The observed attenuation of the luminescence intensity at high fluences is associated with the intense nucleation of dislocations as traps for aggregate color centers.
Preparation and dielectric properties of (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 ceramics with ZnO and CdO addition
2019
The sintering conditions, phase structure, and electrical properties of the ZnO and CdO doped (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3 (NKN) ceramics were investigated and discussed. All the samples were prepared by a solid state reaction method. The addition of 1 wt% CdO and ZnO as a sintering aid increases the density and lowering the sintering temperature. XRD analysis indicated perovskite structure with monoclinic symmetry. The investigated samples are good quality, the grains are well shaped without a glassy phase. The results of dielectric measurements revealed, that the dielectric properties of NKN based ceramics are stable in the wide temperature range.
Melting temperature prediction by thermoelastic instability: An ab initio modelling, for periclase (MgO)
2021
Abstract Melting temperature (TM) is a crucial physical property of solids and plays an important role for the characterization of materials, allowing us to understand their behavior at non-ambient conditions. The present investigation aims i) to provide a physically sound basis to the estimation of TM through a “critical temperature” (TC), which signals the onset of thermodynamic instability due to a change of the isothermal bulk modulus from positive to negative at a given PC-VC-TC point, such that (∂P/∂V)VC,TC = -(∂2F/∂V2) VC,TC = 0; ii) to discuss the case of periclase (MgO), for which accurate melting temperature observations as a function of pressure are available. Using first princip…
Validation of mathematical model for CZ process using small-scale laboratory crystal growth furnace
2018
The present material is focused on the modelling of small-scale laboratory NaCl-RbCl crystal growth furnace. First steps towards fully transient simulations are taken in the form of stationary simulations that deal with the optimization of material properties to match the model to experimental conditions. For this purpose, simulation software primarily used for the modelling of industrial-scale silicon crystal growth process was successfully applied. Finally, transient simulations of the crystal growth are presented, giving a sufficient agreement to experimental results.
