Laser Enhanced Hydrogen Passivation of Silicon Wafers by Lihui Song, Alison Wenham, Sisi Wang, Phillip Hamer, Mohammad Shakil Ahmmed, Brett Hallam, Ly Mai, Malcolm Abbott, Evatt R. Hawkes, CheeMun Chong, Stuart Wenham

“…The laser hydrogenation process is then applied to finished screen-printed solar cells fabricated on seeded-cast quasi monocrystalline silicon wafers. The passivation of dislocation clusters is observed with clear improvements in quantum efficiency, open circuit voltage, and short circuit current density, leading to an improvement in efficiency of 0.6% absolute.…”

Iterative Linear Quadratic Optimization for Nonlinear Control: Differentiable Programming Algorithmic Templates by Roulet, Vincent, Srinivasa, Siddhartha, Fazel, Maryam, Harchaoui, Zaid

“…We explore how nonlinear control algorithms, often employing linear and/or quadratic approximations, can be effectively cast within this framework. Our approach illuminates shared components and differences between gradient descent, Gauss–Newton, Newton, and differential dynamic programming methods in the context of discrete time nonlinear control. …”
