Quantum confinement and size effects in Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films produced using solution processed ultrafine nanoparticles
Amna Safdar,Mohammad Islam,Iftikhar Ahmad,Aftab Akram,Mohammad Mujahid,Yasir Khalid,Yanqiu Zhu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature on crystallite size and phase composition was assessed after the solution mixture was undercooled by 30, 70 or 90 ǫ c. The morphological and compositional studies of the nanoparticles were performed by means of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques.

α-MoO3 nanostructure on carbon cloth substrate for dopamine detection.
TL;DR: Results reported here reveal that using SWV not only enhances the sensitivity of sensors to dopamine by more than 14 times compared to AM, but also offers higher linear dynamic range (1-700 μM compared to 5-550 μM) and applicability of the proposed sensor for measurement of dopamine in real samples, like urine and pharmaceutical formulation, was evaluated.

Stress-related effects in thin films
John A. Thornton,D.W. Hoffman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental nature of the internal stresses that are found in both evaporated and sputtered coatings is reviewed from the point of view of decorative coating applications, which indicate that apparatus geometry is particularly important in determining the state of stress that forms in deposits.

High‐Efficiency Solar Cell with Earth‐Abundant Liquid‐Processed Absorber
TL;DR: A non-vacuum, slurry-based coating method that combines advantages of both solution processing and particlebased deposition is shown, enabling fabrication of Cu2ZnSn(Se,S)4 devices with over 9.6% efficiency—a factor of five performance improvement relative to previous attempts to use highthroughput ink-based approaches and >40% higher than previous record devices prepared using vacuum-based methods.

Sputtered molybdenum bilayer back contact for copper indium diselenide-based polycrystalline thin-film solar cells
TL;DR: In this article, a method for fabricating low-resistivity molybdenum films on soda-lime glass substrates with good adhesion was described, where 1-μm-thick films sputtered at low argon pressure were found to have low resistivity (10−15 μΩ cm), were under compressive stress, and suffered from poor adhesion.
