TL;DR: In this article, the electrical properties of (n)ZnSe/(p þ )GaAs heterostructure solar cells were reported by depositing an n-type ZnSe epilayer using photo assisted metal organic vapor phase epitaxy on p þ type GaAs (1 0 0) substrates.
Abstract: We report the electrical characteristics of (n)ZnSe/(p þ )GaAs heterostructure solar cells grown by depositing an n-type ZnSe epilayer using photoassisted metal organic vapor phase epitaxy on p þ type GaAs (1 0 0) substrates. A study of the solar cell efficiency as a function of ZnSe epilayer thickness is also presented. Our preliminary results show that an epilayer thickness of 1.5 lm produced the highest efficiency for the cells tested, (4.27% under AM1.5 conditions, no anti-reflective coating). We also demonstrate a method to pattern ZnSe/GaAs structures with an inexpensive methanol/ bromine etch process. 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present types of documentation that should aid junior faculty in attaining tenure and promotion, and discuss the need for junior faculty to clearly document their collaborative efforts with other faculty members and industrial partners in order demonstrate a high level of scholarly activity.
Abstract: There exists a need for junior faculty to clearly document their collaborative efforts with other faculty members and industrial partners in order demonstrate a high level of scholarly activity to a Retention, Tenure and Promotion committee. This paper will present types of documentation that should aid junior faculty in attaining tenure and promotion.
