The Influence of Local Electric Fields on Photoinduced Absorption in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) challenges conventional photovoltaics with its potential for low-cost prodn. and its flexibility in terms of color and design. Transient absorption spectroscopy is widely used to unravel the working mechanism of DSCs. A ...

Computational Study of Promising Organic Dyes for High-Performance Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, François Rotzinger

The energy transition from the ground state to the first excited singlet of four organic dye candidates to be used as sensitizers in solar cells, D5, D7, D9, and D11, has been computationally explored and compared to experimental results with TDDFT (B3LYP, ...

Different pressure behavior of GaN/AlGaN quantum structures grown along polar and nonpolar crystallographic directions

Nicolas Grandjean

High quality GaN/AlGaN multiquantum well (QW) structures were grown by ammonia molecular beam epitaxy along the (0001) polar and (11 (2) over bar0) nonpolar directions. Each sample contains three QWs with thicknesses of 2, 3, and 4 nm as well as 10 nm Al0. ...

Asymmetrical excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on blazed gratings at normal incidence

Hans Peter Herzig, Libo Yu, Tristan Sfez

We present results of numerical simulations and preliminary experiments to investigate and characterize the effect of asymmetrical coupling of normally incident light to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on metallic blazed gratings. Two types of blazed gra ...

Nature of doped a-Si:H / c-Si interface recombination

Stefaan De Wolf

Doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon a-Si:H films of only a few nanometer thin find application in a-Si:H/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Although such films may yield a field effect at the interface, their electronic passivation properties ...

Influence of the Arene Ligand, the Number and Type of Metal Centers, and the Leaving Group on the in Vitro Antitumor Activity of Polynuclear Organometallic Compounds

Kay Severin, Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov

Dinuclear ruthenium complexes were shown to exhibit strong antiproliferative properties in human tumor cell lines. In order to extend the structure−activity relationships (SARs), a series of new RuII(arene)X complexes (X = Cl, Br, I) linked by pyridinone-b ...

Effect of external perturbation fields on divertor particle and heat loads during ELMs at JET

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

Peak heat fluxes arriving at the JET-divertor during Type-I ELMs have been successfully reduced by applying externally magnetic perturbation fields. The ELM-frequency in these plasmas strongly increases, leading to smaller ELM-size. The concomitant density ...

Photonic lattice of coupled microcavities in nonpermanent gravitational field produced by rotation

Dmitri Boiko

Rotation-induced splitting of the otherwise degenerate photonic bands is predicted for a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of evanescently coupled microcavities. The symmetry-broken energy splitting is similar to the Zeeman splitting of atomic levels o ...

Impact of quantum confinement and quantum confined Stark effect on biexciton binding energy in GaN/AlGaN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Jacques Levrat, Dobri Simeonov, Massimo Gurioli

We report on time-resolved photoluminescence measurements carried out along the thickness gradient of two types of GaN/AlGaN quantum wells with low Al content in the barriers (5% and 9%, respectively). A reduction of the biexciton binding energy with incre ...
