Optoelectronic optimization of graded-bandgap CdTeSe thin-film solar cells by Faiz Ahmad, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Peter B Monk

“…Hence, detailed optoelectronic simulations of these solar cells were performed to determine the effects of compositional grading and absorbing-layer thickness on power-conversion efficiency. The transfer-matrix method was used to calculate the electron-hole-pair (EHP) generation rate, and a one-dimensional drift-diffusion model was used to determine the EHP recombination rate, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, power-conversion efficiency, and fill factor. …”

Lightweight framework of shell models utilizing local heat sensors by Shengfa Wang, Longfei Zhang, Baojun Li, Zhongxuan Luo

“…Specifically, first, both geometric features and empirical features are introduced to construct a frame structure. Second, a local diffusion–based heat sensor network is exploited to simulate the stress distribution due to two reasons: one is that they have the similar physical transmissibility and the other is that the heat diffusion is smooth, and it guarantees that the thickness variation is smooth and natural without restriction on the degrees of freedom. …”

Wetting of AlN by molten Sn-xSc (x=1, 2 and 3 at.%) alloys at 700–800°C by Ran Sui, Qiaoli Lin

“…Spreading dynamics showed that at low temperatures or with low Sc concentrations, the process is limited by Sn5Sc3 decomposition, whereas at high temperatures, it transitions to Sc diffusion dominance (Diffusion coefficient D ~ 1.19 × 10−10–1.39 × 10−9 m2/s). …”

Mixed‐matrix membranes incorporating hierarchical ZIF‐8 towards enhanced CO2/N2 separation by Ting Xia, Yuyang Wu, Taotao Ji, Wenjing Hu, Kunpeng Yu, Xinyu He, Ben Hang Yin, Yi Liu

“…Gas permeation results indicate that compared with bulk ZIF‐8 filler, fast diffusion pathways for guest molecules are established in H‐ZIF‐8 filler, resulting in a CO2/N2 separation factor (SF) of 48.77 with CO2 permeability of 645.76 Barrer in terms of H‐ZIF‐8 MMMs with 6 wt % loading, which well exceeds the 2008 Robenson upper bound for CO2/N2 gas pair, thus showing promising prospects for high‐efficiency CO2 capture from flue gas.…”

First principle investigation of Cr doping effect on the stability of NiFe2O4 by Tianhao Rui, Yulin Lan, Congyi Li, Haibin Zhang, Xiaojing Liu

“…We believe that lattice mismatch induced by Cr doping may lead to stress and dislocations, which suppressed further growth of NiFe2O4. Subsequently, the diffusion of Cr facilitates the smooth growth of the interface, suggesting that the diffusion of Cr may be a crucial factor influencing the growth rate of CRUD.…”

Microbially Mediated Processes in Environmental Chemistry by Kurt W. Hanselmann

“…. – In order to assess microbially mediated catalysis within sediments as a driving mechanism for the cycling of elements through their many specialized metabolic pathways, we need to better understand: The microbial habitats within sediments; the kind of microbes present and their interaction with each other and their surroundings; the influence of thermodynamic constraints on microbial existence; the microbial behavior towards transient environmental conditions; and the efficiency of microbes as biological diffusion barriers or diffusion promotors at the sediment-water interface. – In this presentation I will summarize our views on a few basic questions of environmental microbiology: Where do microbes live in sediments? …”
