Influence of white etching layer on rolling contact behavior at wheel-rail interface by Qinglin Lian, Guanyu Deng, Hongtao Zhu, Huijun Li, Xi Wang, Zhiming Liu

“…Stress changes along the rail depth matched with the previously reported microstructure evolutions. The current work revealed that the maximum difference in contact stress between the wheel passages of rail matrix and the WEL region (noted as stress variation) rises with the increase of loading pressure, the value of a/b, and Sr; but drops with the friction coefficient (μ). …”

Optimization of Poly-Si/SiOx Passivated Contacts for Crystalline Silicon Bottom Cells Applications by Julci Ditsougou, Thibaut Desrues, Anne Kaminski, Sébastien Dubois

“…Moreover, these thicker poly-Si layers benefit more from hydrogenation steps, enabling i-Voc of around 720 mV and carrier lifetimes of up to 5 ms on cell precursors. Finally, while increasing the thickness leads to current limitation under AM1.5G (1 Sun) illumination, this limitation is less pronounced under IR illumination. …”
