The paper reported the design and thorough analysis of a thin-film solar cell (TFSC) based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with an integrated Copper(I) Oxide (Cu2O) hole transport layer (HTL), emp...
In this investigation, the addition of several amounts of metal oxide particles (CuO2) in Al matrix is carried out due to the need to improve the mechanical properties such as the ductility of aluminum for ...
Sb2S3 has gained tremendous research recently for thin film solar cell absorber material because of their easy synthesis, unique electrical and optical properties. The stoichiometry and compositi...
With advanced research for dielectrics including capacitors in DRAMs, decoupling filters in microcircuits and insulating gates in transistors, a lot of demand for the new challenging of high-k materials in semiconduct...
Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are most recently getting much attention for structural parts of hypersonic missiles with their cruising speed of more than Mach 5. Most of the UHTCs are poor sinterability carb...
Tin oxide (SnO2) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), Drop-Cast and Dip-Coating method. The thin films were post-annealed at 500°C for 2 hours. The structural,...
Varistor ceramics are typical electronic ceramics, which are widely used in circuits of overvoltage protection, high voltage stabilization and high energy surge absorption. TiO2 varistor ceramics has the ad...
Solar energy is becoming more popular and widespread, and consequently, the materials to manufacture solar cells are becoming more limited and costly. Therefore, in order to keep solar energy affordable and available,...
The mechanical behavior and wear of the different hardened phases with bore-induced changes in AISI 4340 and AISI D2 steels were investigated. The hardness and modulus of elasticity were measured by nanoindentation an...
Several molybdenum silicides based alloys were produced by arc cast method with different vanadium additions. The microstructures revealed mainly single phase in samples with precipitation of second phases segregated ...
