Effect of Al~2~O~3~ Passivation on Structured Si/PEDOT:PSS Hybrid Solar Cell by Sameer Alghanmi, Khalid Alshammari

“…Here, a superior, conformal, and uniform Al~2~O~3~ thin layer is deposited on structured pyramid n-Si wafer to enhance the front junction conformity using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The deposited Al~2~O~3~ thin layer provides better wettability of PEDOT:PSS compared to native oxide, which minimizes pores, and pin-hole density usually occurs in spin-coating process. …”

Macroscopic perspective on phase transition behavior of natural single-crystal graphite under different pressure environments by Xiaoshuang Yin, Songyang Li, Lijuan Wang, Peiyuan Liu, Zhihai Cheng, Huiyang Gou, Liuxiang Yang

“…Here, we report on the pressure-induced phase transition behavior of natural single-crystal graphite under three distinct pressure-transmitting media from a macroscopic perspective using in situ two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The surface evolution process of graphite before and after the phase transition is captured, revealing that pressure-induced surface textures can impede the continuity of the phase transition process across the entire single crystal. …”

Matematical modeling of the process of enlarging the austenitic grain during high-temperature heating of alloy structural steel by V. A. Kukareko, B. M. Gatsuro, A. N. Grigorchik, A. N. Chichin

“…A phenomenological model describing the mechanism of formation and growth of austenitic grains in steels under heating at different speeds is developed.It is concluded that the slow heating of steels in the interval of phase a®g transformation contributes to the formation of a complex of small austenite grains separated by high angle boundaries with adsorbed on them by impurity atoms, which ensures higher resistance grain structure to coalescence and reduce the rate of migration of the boundaries during prolonged hightemperature austenization.…”
