Gaia's brightest very metal-poor (VMP) stars Metallicity catalogue of a thousand VMP stars from Gaia's radial velocity spectrometer spectra

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

Context. Gaia DR3 has offered the scientific community a remarkable dataset of approximately one million spectra acquired with the radial velocity spectrometer (RVS) in the calcium II triplet region, which is well suited to identify very metal-poor (VMP) s ...

Design of a Flexure Based Low Frequency Foucault Pendulum

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger

The Foucault pendulum is a well-known mechanism used to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. It consists in a pendulum launched on linear orbits and, following Mach’s Principle, this line of oscillation will remain fixed with respect to absolute space bu ...

A solar-based sustainable urban design: The effects of city-scale street-canyon geometry on solar access in Geneva, Switzerland

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Buildings commonly have the largest share in the energy demand of a country, but they also offer sites for the generation of solar energy. Here we develop a methodology to analyse the effects of street-canyon geometries on the solar access of street surfac ...

Counter-Gradient, Co-Gradient and ‘Surface-Layer' Momentum Fluxes in Nocturnal Slope Flows over Steep Alpine Terrain

Marc Parlange, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

Generally, the more an underlying terrain deviates from being flat, uniform and homogeneous, the less that classical theories and models of the atmospheric boundary layer hold. At times this leads to high uncertainties in turbulent flux predictions, and at ...

Polymer-based photocathodes with a solution-processable cuprous iodide anode layer and a polyethyleneimine protective coating

Matthew Thomas Mayer, Marcel Roland Schreier

Organic semiconductors have been proven to be suitable for efficient photovoltaic generation during the last decade but have been scarcely assessed as photoelectrochemical devices. In this work we present the fabrication and characterization of a new effic ...

Neighbourhood morphology and solar irradiance in relation to urban climate

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Govinda Upadhyay

Assessing the relationship between neighbourhood morphology and urban climate is becoming increasingly important as cities continue to grow and the climate continues to change. Here we focus on the impact of (1) shapes and sizes of buildings, (2) street la ...

Molecular Engineering of Push-Pull Porphyrin Dyes for Highly Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: The Role of Benzene Spacers

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Aswani Yella, Chi-Lun Mai

Porphyrins have drawn much attention as sensitizers owing to the large absorption coefficients of their Soret and Q bands in the visible region. In a donor and acceptor zinc porphyrin we applied a new strategy of introducing 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) as ...

Ruthenium Oxide Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis on Composite Cuprous Oxide Water-Splitting Photocathodes

Michael Graetzel, Morgan Mertens Stefik, Stanley David Tilley, Marcel Roland Schreier

Photocathodes based on cuprous oxide (Cu2O) are promising materials for large scale and widespread solar fuel generation due to the abundance of copper, suitable bandgap, and favorable band alignments for reducing water and carbon dioxide. A protective ove ...

Growth of CH3NH3PbI3 cuboids with controlled size for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Norman Pellet, Jeong-Hyeok Im

Perovskite solar cells with submicrometre-thick CH3NH3PbI3 or CH3NH3PbI3-xClx active layers show a power conversion efficiency as high as 15%. However, compared to the best-performing device, the average efficiency was as low as 12%, with a large standard ...
