Find out how solar cells power a good portion of homes today—and how they might power almost everything in the future.

OxStu explores how the structure of glass makes it ubiquitous in everyday life and why we are still exploring its use.

In 1811 Gay-Lussac and Thenard probably obtained impure amorphous silicon by heating potassium ... neglect the large-scale formation of silica structures with nanoscale precision by various ...

HILLSBORO, OR, Jun 08, 2010 --Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) today reiterated its guidance for the second quarter ending July 3, 2010. Second quarter revenue is expected to increase 6% to 10% on ...

Abstract: In this letter, we propose an amorphous-silicon (a-Si) solar cell with a nanowire-array structure. The proposed structure has photon absorption and carrier transport that are perpendicular ...

Lattice offers total solutions for today's system designs by delivering the most innovative programmable silicon products that embody leading-edge system expertise. Lattice products are sold worldwide ...

and metal-oxide-semiconductor structures. Donor-based dots work differently. They use atoms like phosphorus as dopants, which means they place single impurity atoms into a silicon lattice.

Impact Statement: We present in the paper a physical model for the carrier multiplication phenomenon in disordered materials (e.g. amorphous silicon). The model explains quantitatively and from the ...

Here, we demonstrate an example of such hybrid PV structures that combine colloidal NCs with amorphous silicon. In these structures, NCs and silicon are electronically coupled, and the regime of this ...

Engineered composites with fiber orientation in a complete three-dimensional (3D) context are highly desired for maximizing structural performance as they mimic the well-organized fiber arrangement in ...
