Current studies reveal the expectation that photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion will become the front-runner technology to stem against the extent of global warming by the middle of this century. In 2019, the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) design has taken over the majority of global photovoltaic solar cell production. The objective of this paper is to review the fundamental physi...... hiện toàn bộ

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, as a freeform biomedical manufacturing approach, has been increasingly adopted for the fabrication of constructs analogous to living tissues. Generally, materials printed during 3D bioprinting are referred as bioinks, which may include living cells, extracellular matrix materials, cell media, and/or other additives. For 3D bioprinting to be an enabling t...... hiện toàn bộ
Ge(001) surface cleaning methods for device integrationApplied Physics Reviews - Tập 4 Số 2 - 2017
Patrick Ponath, Agham Posadas, Alex Demkov
In recent years, research on Ge nanodevices has experienced a renaissance, as Ge is being considered a possible high mobility channel material replacement for Si MOSFET devices. However, for reliable high performance devices, an atomically flat and perfectly clean Ge surface is of utmost importance. In this review, the existing methods for cleaning the Ge(001) surface are reviewed and comp...... hiện toàn bộ

Proton-conducting oxides for energy conversion and storageApplied Physics Reviews - Tập 7 Số 1 - 2020
Chuancheng Duan, Jake Huang, Neal P. Sullivan, Ryan O’Hayre
Proton-conducting oxides are a class of solid-state ion-conducting ceramic materials that demonstrate significant hydrogen ion (proton) conductivity at intermediate temperatures (e.g., 300–700 °C). They are garnering significant attention due to several unique characteristics that distinguish them from both higher temperature oxygen ion conducting oxides and lower temperature proton-conduc...... hiện toàn bộ
Fundamentals, progress, and future directions of nitride-based semiconductors and their composites in two-dimensional limit: A first-principles perspective to recent synthesisApplied Physics Reviews - Tập 5 Số 1 - 2018

Potential applications of bulk GaN and AlN crystals have made possible single and multilayer allotropes of these III-V compounds to be a focus of interest recently. As of 2005, the theoretical studies have predicted that GaN and AlN can form two-dimensional (2D) stable, single-layer (SL) structures being wide band gap semiconductors and showing electronic and optical properties different f...... hiện toàn bộ
BaTiO3-based piezoelectrics: Fundamentals, current status, and perspectivesApplied Physics Reviews - Tập 4 Số 4 - 2017
Matias Acosta, Nikola Novak, Verónica García, Satyanarayan Patel, Rahul Vaish, Jurij Koruza, George A. Rossetti, Jürgen Rödel
We present a critical review that encompasses the fundamentals and state-of-the-art knowledge of barium titanate-based piezoelectrics. First, the essential crystallography, thermodynamic relations, and concepts necessary to understand piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity in barium titanate are discussed. Strategies to optimize piezoelectric properties through microstructure control and ch...... hiện toàn bộ
