Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...

Crash Behavior of DP800–DP1000 Advanced High‐Strength Steel’s Dissimilar Resistance Spot Welded Joints Under Quasi‐static and High Strain Rates

steel research international, EarlyView.
The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...

The current state, problems and future of Germany's air and missile defence. OSW Commentary No. 105, 2013-04-10 [PDF]

, 2013
From German point of view, air and missile defence systems are of little relevance for the protection of Germany’s territory. However, they are seen as important for conducting ‘out of area’ operations, providing military assistance to allies, and for ...

Not quite the 'Great Britain of the Far East': Japan's security, the US-Japan alliance and the 'war on terror' in East Asia [PDF]

, 2007
Japan, in responding to US expectations for support in the 'war on terror', has displayed a degree of strategic convergence on global security objectives, thus prompting policy-makers and observers to dub it the 'Great Britain of the Far East'.

How many shots are enough? Optimizing precision measurements when testing lead‐free ammunition

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Growing concern about lead exposure in scavenging wildlife and the consumers of game meat has increased interest in evaluating the performance of lead‐free rifle ammunition. Testing both accuracy and precision helps ensure reliable shot placement while reducing the risk of non‐fatal woundings.

Europium‐ and dysprosium‐modified strontium aluminate: A luminescent marker system for enhanced gunshot residue detection

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic ballistics is essential in analyzing evidence from firearm use in criminal investigations, with gunshot residue (GSR) detection providing key information about the firearm and shooting conditions. Traditional methods like spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have limitations in sensitivity, cost, and accessibility ...
