Understanding and mitigating resistive losses in fired passivating contacts: role of the interfaces and optimization of the thermal budget

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Franz-Josef Haug, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Sofia Libraro, Julien Hurni, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Ezgi Genç

This work presents a study of p-type passivating contacts based on SiCx formed via a rapid thermal processing (RTP) step, using conditions compatible with the firing used to sinter screen-printed metallization pastes in industry. The contributions of the t ...

Modelling the coupled mercury-halogen-ozone cycle in the central Arctic during spring

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Jenny Thomas

Near-surface mercury and ozone depletion events occur in the lowest part of the atmosphere during Arctic spring. Mercury depletion is the first step in a process that transforms long-lived elemental mercury to more reactive forms within the Arctic that are ...

Constraining the response factors of an extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometer for near-molecular aerosol speciation

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Yandong Tong

Online characterization of aerosol composition at the near-molecular level is key to understanding chemical reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and sources under various atmospheric conditions. The recently developed extractive electrospray ionization time-of-f ...

Detection of Pressure or Flow Rate Variations in MR Valves through Magnetic Flux Analysis

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluids consist in a suspension of ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a fluid carrier. If excited by a magnetic source, the nearby magnetic field induces the particles magnetization with the formation of chainlike structures align ...

Electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenes in tributylmethylphosphonium methyl sulfate mixtures with water and 1,2-dichloroethane

Thomas James Stockmann, Zhifeng Ding

Electron transfer (ET) reactions in ionic liquid (IL)vertical bar organic solvent (1,2-dichloroethane, DCE) and IL vertical bar water mixtures were investigated using a Pt disk ultramicroelectrode (UME) along with ferrocene (Fc) and ferrocenemethanol (FcCH ...

How Accurately Can We Predict the Melting Points of Drug-like Compounds?

Luc Patiny

This article contributes a highly accurate model for predicting the melting points (MPs) of medicinal chemistry compounds. The model was developed using the largest published data set, comprising more than 47k compounds. The distributions of MPs in drug-li ...

Europium Complexes of Tris(dipicolinato) Derivatives Coupled to Methylumbelliferone: A Double Sensitization

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Julien Alexandre Andres

A para-poly(oxyethylene) dipicolinic acid derivative coupled to methylumbelliferone was synthesized and used as a ligand for coordination with europium ions. Characterization of the complex by mass spectrometry and spectrophotometry was performed in aqueou ...

Fabrication of nanopore arrays and ultrathin silicon nitride membranes by block-copolymer-assisted lithography

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Harry Heinzelmann, Raphaël Pugin, Ana Maria Popa

Here we show a method for patterning a thin metal film using self-assembled block-copolymer micelles monolayers as a template. The obtained metallic mask is transferred by reactive ion etching in silicon oxide, silicon and silicon nitride substrates, thus ...
