Journal ArticleDOI

Weyl Semimetals as Hydrogen Evolution Catalysts

TL;DR: The study shows that the combination of robust topological surface states and large room temperature carrier mobility, both of which originate from bulk Dirac bands of the Weyl semimetal, is a recipe for high activity HER catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colossal injection of catalyst atoms into silicon nanowires

TL;DR: An atomic-level, quantitative study of the phenomenon of catalyst dissolution by three-dimensional atom-by-atom mapping of individual Al-catalysed Si nanowires using highly focused ultraviolet-laser-assisted atom-probe tomography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hot spots in multicrystalline silicon solar cells: avalanche breakdown due to etch pits

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study of these regions by various electron microscopy techniques has shown that the avalanche breakdown occurs at cone-shaped holes, located at dislocations and caused by acidic texture etch.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution investigations of ripple structures formed by femtosecond laser irradiation of silicon.

TL;DR: Investigation of self-organized periodic microstructures (ripples) generated in Si(100) targets after multishot irradiation by approximately 100-fs to 800-nm laser pulses at intensities near the single shot ablation threshold reveals complex structural modifications upon interaction with the laser.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and electronic properties of epitaxial multilayer h-BN on Ni(111) for spintronics applications.

TL;DR: This work reports on the controlled growth of h-BN/Ni(111) by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and demonstrates that MBE is a promising, versatile alternative to both the exfoliation approach and chemical vapour deposition of h -BN.
