Effect of Mn Doping on Properties of CdS Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells by Tianxing Li, Xiaoping Zou, Hongquan Zhou

“…However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QDSSCs is still lower than the DSSCs because of the severe recombination of electrons of quantum dots conduction band. In order to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of QDSSCs, impurity element Mn2+ is doped into the precursor solution of cadmium sulfide (CdS). …”

Propagation Characteristics of Oblique Incident Terahertz Wave in Nonuniform Dusty Plasma by Yunhua Cao, Haiying Li, Zhe Wang, Zhensen Wu

“…Propagation characteristics of oblique incident terahertz wave from the nonuniform dusty plasma are studied using the propagation matrix method. Assuming that the electron density distribution of dusty plasma is parabolic model, variations of power reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients with frequencies of the incident wave are calculated as the wave illuminates the nonuniform dusty plasma from different angles. …”
