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

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 ...

Development of graphene-based ionizing radiation sensors

Alberto Ciarrocchi, Giovanni Borghi

We present the first steps to develop radiation sensors based on the graphene field effect transistor technology. Such a sensor exploits the ambipolar behavior of graphene near its Dirac point and it is not dependent on collecting charges, but it senses io ...

Low Temperature p-type Microcrystalline Silicon as Carrier Selective Contact for Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Raphaël Monnard, Angela Nicole Fioretti

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have reached record efficiency, particularly in all-back-contacted architectures. Despite this, two-side contacted SHJ cells still suffer from parasitic absorption and series resistance losses in the amorphous silic ...

Injection-dependent lateral resistance in front-junction solar cells with nc-Si:H and a-Si:H hole selective contact

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Jean Cattin

We investigate the role of lateral transport of minority carriers in the wafer for front-junction solar cells. The study is based on two silicon heterojunction solar cells with p-type amorphous (a-Si), and nanocrystalline (nc-Si) silicon as hole selective ...

Mitigating Plasmonic Absorption Losses at Rear Electrodes in High‐Efficiency Silicon Solar Cells Using Dopant‐Free Contact Stacks

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Stefaan De Wolf, Julie Amandine Dreon, Fan Fu, Sihua Zhong

Although charge‐carrier selectivity in conventional crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells is usually realized by doping Si, the presence of dopants imposes inherent performance limitations due to parasitic absorption and carrier recombination. The develop ...

Performance of perovskite solar cells under simulated temperature-illumination real-world operating conditions

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Konrad Domanski, Essa Awadh R Alharbi, Brian Irving Carlsen, Anand Agarwalla

Since reaching 20% efficiency, research in perovskite photovoltaics has shifted from a race for efficiency to a race for stability. For efficiency, the standard test conditions set the rules for the race. However, the term 'stability' is used very broadly ...

Development of a monolithic near-field optomechanical system

Ryan Daniel Schilling

In the same year as Einstein's annus mirabilis, English engineer and physicist John Flemming patented the first rectifying diode, which he called the "Flemming valve". Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect would change our understanding of the nature ...

Fast turnaround fabrication of silicon point-contact quantum-dot transistors using combined thermal scanning probe lithography and laser writing

Matthieu Jean Michel Rüegg, Cheng Wang, Nolan Lassaline

The fabrication of high-performance solid-state silicon quantum-devices requires high resolution patterning with minimal substrate damage. We have fabricated room temperature (RT) single-electron transistors (SETs) based on point-contact tunnel junctions u ...

Three-Dimensional Integrated Ultra-Low-Volume Passive Microfluidics with Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistors for Multiparameter Wearable Sweat Analyzers

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Fabien Patrick Wildhaber, Junrui Zhang, Erick Antonio Garcia Cordero, Johan Frédéric Longo, Hoël Maxime Guérin, Francesco Bellando

Wearable systems could offer noninvasive and real-time solutions for monitoring of biomarkers in human sweat as an alternative to blood testing. Recent studies have demonstrated that the concentration of certain biomarkers in sweat can be directly correlat ...
