Fabrication of Densely Distributed Silver Indium Selenide Nanorods by Ag+ Ion Irradiation

Comparative Study of Radiation Shielding Parameters for Bismuth Borate Glasses

“…Borate and Silicate are the most commonly used glass formers because of their easy availability and low cost. Boron belongs to the group III of periodic table and the elements of this group find wide range of applications including their scope in the field of solar cells [12][13][14][15] . In the present paper bismuth based systems are undertaken because they are non toxic to our environment and can be new possibility for a lead free radiation shielding glass.…”

Effects of Residual Oxygen in the Degradation of the Performance of Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells: Stability, Role of the Encapsulation

“…In recent years, the ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors have been receiving considerable attention because of their adaptability, as an absorber component, in thin film solar cells. AgInSe 2 is a ternary analogue of CdSe, which has been used for a number of electronic devices [41]. KrF pulse UV excimer laser ablation of films of AgInSe 2 (AIS) onto the glass substrates kept at different temperature using an ultra-high-vacuum deposition system has been studied [42] In order to eliminate traces of moisture, a getter sheet can be included on the inside of the packaging layer [48].…”

Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures on P3HT and on Its Photovoltaic Blend with PC71BM

“…Among them organic photovoltaics (OPV) involve the use of π-conjugated semiconducting polymers for light absorption and charge transport [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Polymer blends and inorganic/organic hybrid solar cells have attracted a great interest due to their potential in combining the advantages of both components [7][8][9][10] . In particular polymer-fullerene mixtures of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) with [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) or [6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) have been widely used as model system in organic photovoltaics (OPV) 4,5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , despite other material combinations have reached meanwhile much higher power conversion efficiencies [18][19][20][21] .…”
