Multiple dehydrogenation reactions of negative ions in low pressure silane plasma chemistry

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Antoine Descoeudres

Micro-particle formation in low pressure silane (SiH4) plasmas has been of technical interest and concern for at least 40 years. Negative ion plasma chemistry is a candidate for the initial nucleation, which has been extensively studied both experimentally ...

Band alignment at beta-Ga2O3/III-N (III = Al, Ga) interfaces through hybrid functional calculations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Sai Lyu

The band alignment and the chemical bonding at the beta -Ga2O3/AlN and beta -Ga2O3/GaN interfaces are studied through hybrid functional calculations. We construct realistic slab models with III-O (III = Al, Ga) bonds dominating the chemical bonding at both ...

Towards defect-free thin films of the earth-abundant absorber zinc phosphide by nanopatterning

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Valerio Piazza, Martin George Friedl, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall, Rajrupa Paul, Reza Zamani

Large-scale deployment of thin-film photovoltaics will be facilitatedthrough earth-abundant components. Herein, selective area epitaxyand lateral overgrowth epitaxy are explored for the growth of zincphosphide (Zn3P2), a promising earth-abundant absorber. ...

Synthesis, characterisation and cytotoxicity studies of ruthenium arene complexes bearing trichlorogermyl ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

The synthesis of five half sandwich ruthenium(II) trichlorogermyl complexes of the type [(η6-Arene)Ru(PR3)Cl(GeCl3)] (PR3 = Phosphane and phosphite ligands; Arene = p-cymene or C6H5-OC2H4OH) is reported: [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(P(OMe)3)Cl(GeCl3)] (1), [(η6-p-cyme ...

Optimizing Mesostructured Silver Catalysts for Selective Carbon Dioxide Conversion into Fuels

Sophia Haussener, Silvan Suter

Mesostructured silver catalysts have shown a substantial rise in reaction selectivity for the conversion of CO2 into fuels with increasing thickness of ordered, inverse-opal films. The challenge lies in the optimization of the morphology to maximize the CO ...

Defect Formation Energies of Interstitial C, Si, and Ge Impurities in beta-Ga2O3

Alfredo Pasquarello, Assil Bouzid

Formation energies of C, Si, and Ge defects in beta-Ga2O3 are studied through hybrid functional calculations. The interstitial defects of these elements generally occur at higher energies than their substitutional counterparts, but are more stable at low F ...

Insertion of germanium atoms in high- nuclearity rhodium carbonyl compounds: synthesis, characterization and preliminary biological activity of the heterometallic [ Rh13Ge( CO) 25] 3-, [ Rh14Ge2( CO) 30] 2-and [ Rh12Ge( CO) 27] 4-clusters+

Paul Joseph Dyson, Silvia Ruggieri

The reaction of the Rh-7(CO)(16) cluster anion with Ge2+ salts, in different stoichiometric ratios and under different atmospheres, leads to the formation of new heterometallic Rh-Ge clusters, representing the first known examples of Rh carbonyl comp ...

Numerical Simulation of Temperature Dependence of MoOx Based SHJ Solar Cell

Christophe Ballif, Philipp Friedrich Hermann Löper, Stephanie Essig

Transition metal oxides based high efficiency silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have emerged as promising candidate due to their low manufacturing cost and avoidance of poisonous dopant gases. Temperature dependent J V curves in such solar cells cou ...

The role of dispersion forces on the atomic structure of glassy chalcogenides: The case of GeSe4 and GeS4

Assil Bouzid, Carlo Massobrio

Recent first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (FPMD) results on two chalcogenide glasses (glassy GeS4 and GeSe4) are revisited by accounting explicitly for van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces. This effort is motivated by the observation that suc ...

First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Davide Campi, Lorenzo Paulatto, Giorgia Fugallo

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...
