Solution deposition offers an attractive, low temperature option in the cost effective production of thin film solar cells. Continuous microreactor-assisted solution deposition (MASD) was used to produce nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide (CdS) films on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates with excellent uniformity. We report a novel liquid coating...
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films are commonly used as buffer layers in thin film solar cells and can be produced by a number of solution and vacuum methods. We report the continuous solution deposition of CdS on fluorine-doped tin oxide coated glass substrates using Microreactor-Assisted Solution Deposition (MASD (TM)). A...
Continuous microreactor-assisted solution deposition is demonstrated for the deposition
of CdS thin films on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass. The continuous flow
system consists of a microscale T-junction micromixer with the co-axial water circulation
heat exchanger to control the reacting chemical flux and optimize the heterogeneous surface
reaction. Dense,...
Genetic code expansion is a technology that allows for site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids into recombinant proteins at amber stop codons using engineered translational machinery. The technology allows for expanded study into proteins, derived from the integration of novel chemical functions found in noncanonical amino acids, such as fluorescence,...
Boreal and temperate biomes host nearly half of the earth’s forested ecosystems. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific coast of North America constitute nearly half of all temperate rainforests on earth. Along the northern extent of this region, the perhumid and sub-polar rainforests of southeast and southcentral Alaska are among...
In nanoscale materials, the Coulombic interaction between electrons are stronger than in bulk materials. These stronger interactions, caused by confinement and reduced dielectric screening, have interesting consequences for light-matter interactions. In carbon nanotubes (CNTs), strong interactions can enhance the impact ionization process, and thus assist photocurrent generation in CNTs. Conversely,...
Metamorphosed volcanogenic rocks of the Permian and Triassic Seven Devils Group are exposed in the northern part of the Heavens Gate 7.5 minute quadrangle, western Idaho. These rocks originated in a volcanic arc at a destructive plate margin. In the north, rocks that probably belong to the Lower Permian Hunsaker...
