Effect of Sheet Resistance and Morphology of ITO Thin Films on Polymer Solar Cell Characteristics by Ram Narayan Chauhan, C. Singh, R. S. Anand, Jitendra Kumar

“…ITO thin films are deposited on glass by RF sputtering at substrate temperature of 70∘C and compare their phase, morphology, optical, and electrical properties with commercial ITO. The films contain smaller nanocrystallites in (222) preferred orientation and exhibit comparable optical transmittance (~95%) in the wavelength range of 550–650 nm, but high sheet resistance of ~103 Ω/□ (the value being ~36 Ω/□ for commercial ITO).The polymer solar cells with PEDOT: PSS and P3HT: PCBM layers realized on RF sputtered vis-a-vis commercial ITO thin films are shown to display a marginal difference in power conversion efficiency, low fill factor, and low open-circuit voltage but increased short-circuit current density. …”

A Method to Predict Rock Fracture with Infrared Thermography Based on Heat Diffusion Analysis by Nai-Fu Deng, Lan Qiao, Qing-wen Li, Jia-Wang Hao, Shan Wu

“…Our method evenly selects 25 small regions on the observed rock surface and uses the data obtained from these regions to derive the global temperature field which contains no uncertainty. By comparing our method with the real temperature field, the deduced diffusion model proposed in this paper can relatively reflect the real crack initiation under increasing loading. …”
