X-ray line broadening from filed aluminium and wolfram

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Geiger counter spectrometer to measure the changes in intensity distribution in the spectra of cold worked aluminium and wolfram and found that the line breadths may be attributed to simultaneous small particle size and strain broadening, the latter predominating at the higher Bragg angles.

Thin-film solar cells: an overview

TL;DR: Thin film solar cells are a promising approach for terrestrial and space photovoltaics and offer a wide variety of choices in terms of the device design and fabrication, but it would surely be determined by the simplicity of manufacturability and the cost per reliable watt.
