Bulk measurement of copper and sodium content in CuIn(0.7)Ga(0.3)Se(2) (CIGS) solar cells with nanosecond pulse length laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In this work, we show that laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with a nanosecond pulse laser can be used to measure the copper and sodium content of CuIn(0.7)Ga(0.3)Se(2) (CIGS) thin film solar cells on molybdenum. This method has four significant advantages over methods currently being employed: the method is inexpensive, measurements can be ...

Corrosion of copper intrauterine devices: review and recent developments
Corrosion Reviews, 2019 AbstractA systematic review of the literature about the corrosion of copper in intrauterine devices (IUDs) was conducted, an important topic of copper application that apparently may not be well known to a broad corrosion audience. Copper IUDs (Cu-IUDs) are one of the most widely used contraceptive methods around the world, particularly in China, India,

Light induced resistive switching in copper oxide thin films [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Copper oxide thin film based metal-insulator-metal structures were subjected to white light irradiation.The top electrodes included Al, Cr and Ni while the bottom electrode was either Au or Pt. A white light pulse controls the set process and this light induced set (LIS) can be performed at very low voltages (tens of milli volts) which is not possible ...

Effects of Copper and/or Cholesterol Overload on Mitochondrial Function in a Rat Model of Incipient Neurodegeneration [PDF]
, 2013 Copper (Cu) and cholesterol (Cho) are both associated with neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals models. We studied the effect in Wistar rats of oral supplementation with trace amounts of Cu (3 ppm) and/or Cho (2%) in drinking water for 2 ...
