Considering the natural abundance, the optoelectronic properties, and the electricity
production cost, iron pyrite (FeS2) has a strong appeal as a solar cell material. The …

Green's function methods provide a robust, general framework within many-body theory for
treating electron correlation in both excited states and x-ray spectra. Conventional methods …

Abstract Lithium zirconate (Li 2 ZrO 3) is one of the best-performing high-temperature CO 2
adsorbents, but the effect of flue gas on its mutual mechanism of action is not clear. The …

Iron pyrite (FeS2) is considered a promising earth-abundant semiconductor for solar energy
conversion with the potential to achieve terawatt-scale deployment. However, despite …

Porous silicon (PSi) is recognized as an attractive building block for photonic devices
because of its novel properties including high ratio of surface to volume and high light …

Background Heterojunction catalysts have been used in photo-Fenton reaction. However,
the rapid recombination of photo-generated electron-hole would reduce the reaction and …

Numerical modeling of Hall effect data is used to demonstrate the existence of a conductive
inversion layer at the surface of high-quality n-type single crystals of iron pyrite (cubic FeS2) …

A novel methodology for calculating the surface energy of a disordered material was
developed and is described here. The method was used to calculate the range of surface …

Oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) plays a significant role in the redox cycling of iron and sulfur on
Earth and is the primary cause of acid mine drainage (AMD). It has been established that …

Porous silicon (PSi) is highly attractive for the solar cell applications due to its unique
properties such as efficient antireflection, band gap widening, broad range of optical …
