Thermodynamic Limits of Solar Cells with Non-ideal Optical Response

M. Ryyan Khan, Peter Bermel, Muhammad A. Alam

The Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) theory defines the thermodynamic upper limits for Jsc, Voc, FF, and efficiency of a solar cell. The classical calculation assumes an abrupt onset of abs…

Self-assembled tunable photonic hyper-crystals

Vera N. Smolyaninova, Bradley Yost, David Lahneman +2

We demonstrate a novel artificial optical material, a photonic hyper-crystal, which combines the most interesting features of hyperbolic metamaterials and photonic crystals. Simila…

A Three-Year Multi-Wavelength Study of the Very High Energy Gamma-ray Blazar 1ES 0229+200

E. Aliu, S. Archambault, T. Arlen +83

The high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object 1ES 0229+200 is a relatively distant (z = 0.1396), hard-spectrum (Gamma ~ 2.5), very-high-energy-emitting (E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray blaza…

Tunable high-temperature thermodynamics of weakly-interacting dipolar gases

K. M. Daily, D. Blume

We consider dilute gases of dipolar bosons or fermions in the high-temperature limit in a spherically symmetric harmonic trapping potential. We examine the system using a virial ex…

Multiwavelength observations of the gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 PMN J0948+0022 in 2011

F. D'Ammando, J. Larsson, M. Orienti +13

We report on radio-to-gamma-ray observations during 2011 May-September of PMN J0948+0022, the first narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy detected in gamma-rays by Fermi-LAT. Strong…

Switching Mechanism in Single-Layer Molybdenum Disulfide Transistors: an Insight into Current Flow across Schottky Barriers

Han Liu, Mengwei Si, Yexin Deng +6

In this article, we study the properties of metal contacts to single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals, revealing the nature of switching mechanism in MoS2 transistors. On…
