Easily processable conjugated polymers for optoelectronics, in general, and for photovoltaic energy conversion, in particular, is an attractive research field, in which the combined efforts of material science, device engineers, and spectroscopists are welcomed.
After the final landing of Philae at the Abydos site on comet 67/P Churyumov Gerasimenko, the MUPUS (Multipurpose Sensors for Surface and Sub-Surface Science) device started hammering itself into the cometary ground on 14th November 2014, and continued hammering for more than 3 h.
There's a weird-science plot device turned quotidian — magic anti-nanotechnological table salt.
In the title story, another old woman, a white South African widow "attempting to fight off oblivion," needs electrical stimulation to recover her fading memories, and some kind of science-fiction device to keep from losing them again.
We review developments in both materials science and device physics for organic photovoltaics.
The successful fabrication of two-dimensional lateral heterostructures (LHS's) has opened up unprecedented opportunities in material science and device physics.
Controlling epitaxial interfaces at the atomic scale is actively being researched in the broad fields of materials science and device engineering.
However, a more direct and immediate application of d-dimensional Green's functions in materials science and device engineering concerns scattering in low-dimensional structures.
The possible uses of these silicon microcavity LEDs are considered and the challenges that need to be met in terms of materials science and device design are examined.
This chapter gives a general introduction to the advantages of organic PVs, the basic science underpinning device operation and outlines areas for development.
For these, and related technological challenges, close coupling of basic material and wide bandgap semiconductor science to device design and fabrication is required.
