Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptoelectronic Characterisation of Silicon and CIGS Photovoltaic Solar CellsRicardo A. Marques Lameirinhas, Afonso Ravasco, Catarina Pinho Correia Valério Bernardo, João Paulo N. TorresThroughout these years, many materials have been subjected to tests and experiments, creating several photovoltaic technologies and generations. In this article, some of these generations are compared, namely silicon and Copper Indium Gallium di-Selenide (CIGS), in order to characterize both materials in an optoelectronic way. Using a 2D solar cell PIN model using COMSOL software, both materials are tested, obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2024 · 4,984 accessesView PDFCite

Torres, Ricardo LameirinhasSolar technology since its first implementation for energy production has evolved in numerous directions to become part of a normal reality in future energy systems. The people’s energetic consumption changed as well. In the present days, people use portable devices more than ever, such as mobile phones and laptops and to power these portable devices, batteries are used. But what … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeposition and Characterization of CdS Nano Thin Film with Complexing Agent TriethanolamineK. Manikandan, C. Surendra Dilip, P. Mani, J. Joseph PrinceThe equimolar concentration thin films of Cadmium Sulfide (CdxSx) with the complexing agent TEA were deposited on a glass substrate by the SILAR technique. The crystalline nature with face centered cubic crystal system of the CdS films is determined from X-ray diffraction analysis. The broadened diffraction peaks indicated nano sized particles of the film materials. The surface morphology of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 1 Jun 2015 · 8,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImprovement of Transient Stability of Power System Using Solid State Circuit BreakerKalai Murugan Amirthalingam, Raja Prabu RamachandranThe aim of this study is to use a solid state circuit breaker for the improvement of transient stability margin. Long distance AC transmission is often subject to stability problems, which limits the transmission capability. Interconnected power systems suffer from weakly damped swings between synchronous generator and sub systems. The development of modern power system has lead to an increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 7 Jun 2013 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Laser Therapy in Inflamed Tissue by Medications Based on Iodoform Laser Therapy in Inflamed TissuePablicia Juliana Santos Tomaz, Michelle de Paula Farias, Marta Rabello Piva et al.This study aimed to evaluate the inflammatory response of the subcutaneous tissue of twenty rats when the use of iodoform with different drugs or not associated with laser photobiomodulation. In the dorsum of rats were introduced into tubes containing: Iodoform and calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH)2); Iodoform and Ca(OH)2, associated with Laser; Iodoform and Otosporin; Iodoform and Otosporin, associated with Laser. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2013 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractBasics of Photocatalysis and Different Strategy for Enhancing the Photocatalytic EfficiencyYuvaraj M. Hunge, Anuja A. Yadav, Babasaheb M. MohiteThis review reports on the basic mechanism of photocatalysis and different ways of enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency. It further examines enhancement of the photocatalytic property using the different combinations of semiconductor oxides (TiO2, ZnO, stratified WO3/TiO2, WO3/ZnO). TiO2, ZnO semiconductors have been widely used from the recent few decades in the photocatalytic degradation process, but the main drawback of these … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 21 May 2020 · 7,747 accessesView PDFCite
