A comprehensive physical model for the sensitivity of silicon heterojunction photovoltaic modules to water ingress

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Olatz Arriaga Arruti, Luca Gnocchi

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ)-solar modules-when encapsulated with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-are known to be extremely sensitive to water ingress. The reason for this is, however, not clear. Here, we explain the root causes of this degradation mechanism ...

Accurate color characterization of solar photovoltaic modules for building integration

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Jordi Escarre Palou, Alejandro Borja Block

Accurate and reproducible color characterization is essential for colored building integrated photovoltaic products, both for manufacturing quality control and assessing long-term color stability. However, existing characterization techniques struggle to a ...

Fabrication, Characterization, and Simulation of Glass Devices with AlN Thin-Film Transducers for Excitation of Ultrasound Resonances

Paul Muralt, Ramin Matloub Aghdam

We present the fabrication of 570-mu m-thick millimeter-sized soda-lime-silicate float-glass blocks with a 1-mu m-thick AlN thin-film piezoelectric transducer sandwiched between thin metallic electrodes and deposited on the top surface. The electromechanic ...

Jean-André Deluc's Traveling Barometer

Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu, Simon François Dumas Primbault

In the second half of the 18th century, Jean-André Deluc painstakingly designed a portable barometer which could accurately determine the heights of mountains by measuring the weight of atmospheric air. While the principle behind the instrument was straigh ...

Explosive fragmentation of Prince Rupert's drops leads to well-defined fragment sizes

Jean-François Molinari

Anyone who has ever broken a dish or a glass knows that the resulting fragments range from roughly the size of the object all the way down to indiscernibly small pieces: typical fragment size distributions of broken brittle materials follow a power law, an ...

Strain glass transition of cobalt phase in a cemented carbide

Daniele Mari, Samy Adjam

Cemented carbides are hard materials used for the fabrication of cutting tools. They consist of hard micron or sub-micron carbide grains held together in a matrix of a tough metallic binder such as cobalt. The understanding and control of cobalt characteri ...

Passive diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor

Hannes Bleuler, Yuanping Xu, Ryosuke Kan, Jin Zhou

In this work, we introduce a newly developed passive and frictionless diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor. A 20 mm diameter disc-shaped rotor comprised of pyrolytic graphite with glass is fabricated. The rotor is diamagn ...

Non-contact femtosecond laser-based methods for investigating glass mechanics at small scales

Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

With the progress made in miniaturizing systems over the last decades, understanding materialsâ behavior at small scales has become a necessity. In this context, glass behavior has remained largely unknown, partly for technological reasons and partly due ...

Through-Glass Vias for Glass Interposers and MEMS Packaging Applications Fabricated Using Magnetic Assembly of Microscale Metal Wires

Mikhail Asiatici, Göran Stemme

A through-glass via (TGV) provides a vertical electrical connection through a glass substrate. TGVs are used in advanced packaging solutions, such as glass interposers and wafer-level packaging of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). However, TGVs are ch ...
