Improvement in the Power Conversion Efficiency of Bulk Heterojunction Photovoltaic Device via Thermal Postannealing of Subphthalocyanine:C70 Active Layer by Chih-Chien Lee, Shun-Wei Liu, Ching-Wen Cheng, Wei-Cheng Su, Chia-Chang Chou, Chun-Feng Lin, Chin-Ti Chen

“…The power conversion efficiency is improved from 4.5% to 5.5% due to the increase in short-circuit current density (JSC) from 8.8 to 12.7 mA/cm2 with the expense of decreased fill factor from 52% to 42%. From external quantum efficiency measurements, the spectral shape-independent enhancement over the entire spectrum suggests that the increased JSC mainly originates from improved charge collection efficiency. …”

Amortissement des phonons dans un superfluide 2D : insuffisance de la règle d’or de Fermi à basse température by Castin, Yvan, Serafin, Alan, Sinatra, Alice

“…Thus, in this limit, we should always be able to calculate the damping rate of thermal phonons by applying Fermi’s golden rule to the Hamiltonian H3 of cubic phonon-phonon coupling taken from quantum hydrodynamics, at least in the case of a convex acoustic branch and in the collisionless regime (where the eigenfrequency of the considered phonons remains much greater than the gas thermalization rate). …”
