All-Back-Schottky-Contact Thin-Film Photovoltaics
Marco Nardone
The concept of All-Back-Schottky-Contact (ABSC) thin-film photovoltaic devices is introduced and evaluated using 2D numerical simulation. The built-in field is generated by reach-t…
Electric field driven insulator-to-metal phase transitions
M. Nardone, V. G. Karpov
We show that strong enough electric fields can trigger nucleation of needle-shaped metallic embryos in insulators, even when the metal phase is energetically unfavorable without th…
Electric field induced nucleation: An alternative pathway to metallic hydrogen
M. Nardone, V. G. Karpov
Electric field induced nucleation is introduced as a possible mechanism to realize a metallic phase of hydrogen. Analytical expressions are derived for the nucleation probabilities…
Thermodynamics of second phase conductive filaments
V. G. Karpov, M. Nardone, M. Simon
We present a theory of second phase conductive filaments in phase transformable systems; applications include threshold switches, phase change memory, and shunting in thin film str…
