Optical characterization of amorphous silicon hydride films
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of thin a-SiHx films were studied and the intrinsic optical limitations on the performance of the SiHx cells were defined for the absorption range 10−1-106 cm−1.

Applications of diamond-like carbon thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of diamond-like carbon films in infra red optical, mechanical, electronic and biomedical applications is discussed, and some of these thin film requirements can be met already using existing diamondlike carbon coatings.

Materials for photothermal solar energy conversion
Walter Bogaerts,Carl M. Lampert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of available published literature has indicated that a lack of quantitative information exists, relative to corrosion of collector surfaces, and available information (mostly qualitative) on durability aspects and corrosion of solar receiver surfaces is described.

Properties of amorphous hydrogenated silicon, with special emphasis on preparation by sputtering
William Paul,D. A. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of amorphous hydrogenated silicon are reviewed, with special emphasis placed on results obtained by the method of reactive sputtering in an argon-hydrogen plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
An amorphous silicon photodetector for picosecond pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, a new photoconductive detector utilizing an amorphous silicon film grown by CVD was demonstrated to have a response time of 40 ps and an estimate of the carrier mobility suggests a mechanism involving the rapid relaxation of photoexcited carriers from relatively mobile extended states to immobile localized states.
