Earth abundant kesterite copper-zinc-tin-sulfide–selenide (CZTS–Se) is considered as cost-
effective material for next generation solar cells. However, current CZTS–Se solar cells have …

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) allows the spatial imaging, measurement, and
manipulation of nano and atomic scale surfaces in real space. In the last two decades …

We reveal substantial luminescence yield heterogeneity among individual subdiffraction
grains of high-performing methylammonium lead halide perovskite films by using high …

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM) was applied to two-dimensional profiling of silicon pn-
structures covered with a 2 nm-thick oxide layer. The surface potential contrast between the …

Grain boundaries (GBs) participate in the photovoltaic energy conversion process in
polycrystalline solar cells as efficient photocurrent collectors and transporters, as shown by …

We have probed the local thermoelectric power of semiconductor nanostructures with the
use of ultrahigh-vacuum scanning thermoelectric microscopy. When applied to a pn junction …

The superior performance of certain polycrystalline (PX) solar cells compared to that of
corresponding single‐crystal ones has been an enigma until recently. Conventional …

A myriad of security vulnerabilites can be exposed via the reverse engineering of the
integrated circuits contained in electronics systems. The goal of IC reverse engineering is to …

This article is the second article in a three-part series dedicated to reviewing each process
step in crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing process: feedstock …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as lubricants for micro/nanoelectromechanical systems
(MEMS/NEMS) due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. So far, only …
