Mechanisms of enhanced optical absorption for ultrathin silicon solar microcells with an integrated nanostructured backside reflector.
TL;DR: Computational modeling that is supported by experimental measurements reveal that the dominant methods of enhancement stem from a complex interplay between backside diffraction/scattering and Fabry-Pérot resonances, and plasmonic interactions contribute minimally to the optical enhancements seen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Norbornadiene on Pt(111) Is Not Bound as an .eta.2:.eta.2 Diene: Characterization of an Unexpected .eta.2:.eta.1 Bonding Mode Involving an Agostic Pt.cntdot..cntdot..cntdot.H-C Interaction
TL;DR: The structure and reactivity of norbornadiene (NBD) adsorbed on Pt(111) has been studied by several physical techniques as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that NBD is bound to the surface in an unusual way: through only one C-C double bond and through an agostic interaction involving one of the C-H bonds of the bridging CH{sub 2}.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variably elastic hydrogel patterned via capillary action in microchannels
TL;DR: Agarose hydrogels of varied elastic modulus can be patterned into 100-microm-wide channels with wall heights of 60 microm and this new method of patterning allows for the creation of substrates that take advantage of both micron-scale patterns and variably elasticHydrogels.
