Dry‑Contact Trimming for All‑Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells via Solid‑Solution Homogenization
Narrow‐bandgap Sn–Pb perovskites are promising bottom absorbers for all‐perovskite tandems but suffer from Sn‐rich surfaces and depth‐dependent lattice/compositional inhomogeneity. Layered‐perovskite‐assisted dry‐contact trimming removes Sn‐rich surface species and reconfigures the Sn–Pb absorber, enabling efficient charge collection, reduced voltage ...

Spectroscopic Techniques in X-Ray Astronomy [PDF]
The catalog of X-ray sources now includes types I and II super-novae remnants, at least one pulsar, other periodic or quasi-periodic sources, starlike objects which emit primarily in X rays, normal galaxies, radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, a quasar, and an apparently isotropic extragalactic background.

X-ray emission from faint galaxies and quasars [PDF]
In this thesis a study of faint X-ray sources is undertaken to understand the nature and origin of the Cosmic X-ray Background (XRB). A study of the X-ray variability characteristics of the QSO population is also presented.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Ginga [PDF]
AbstractThe X-ray astronomy satellite Ginga carries three scientific instruments, the Large Area proportional Counters (LAC), All Sky X-ray Monitor (ASM) and Gamma-ray Burst Detector (GBD). The LAC is the main instrument with an effective area of 4000 cm2 giving it the highest sensitivity to hard X-rays so far achieved. Ginga observed about 250 targets

The attenuation of atmospheric Cerenkov photons [PDF]
Whilst the atmosphere places a limit on the successful applications of many branches of astronomy, it becomes an invaluable tool for the detection of very high energy γ-rays. This thesis is concerned with reducing the systematic uncertainties inherent to

Zero‐Valent Nickel Stabilized in Surface‐Supported Metal–Organic Chains
9,10‐Dicyanoanthracene coordinates Ni atoms on Ag(100) to form metal–organic chains that stabilize zero‐valent Ni(0) (d10) centers with quasi‐one‐dimensional metal–ligand electronic coupling. ABSTRACT The stabilization of zero‐valent nickel Ni(0) centers in extended coordination networks remains a major challenge due to their pronounced reactivity and ...

Research of nested X-ray concentrator for future X-ray timing astronomy
X-ray grazing incidence optics are widely used in X-ray astronomy, especially for imaging payloads Wolter optics are the most workhorse. However, as there are two cascaded mirrors in Wolter type, the efficiency is quite low after two reflections.

The properties of discrete X-ray sources in star-forming galaxies [PDF]
Observations of starburst galaxies have revealed a large number of point-like X-ray sources located within these systems, including active galactic nuclei (AGN), X-ray binaries (XRBs), and utraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs).
