Impact of fast-solidification on all-d-metal NiCoMnTi based giant magnetocaloric Heusler compounds

Recently, the all-d-metal Ni(Co)MnTi based Heusler compounds are found to have a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) near room temperature and manifest different functionalities like multicaloric effects, which can be employed for solid-state refrigeration. However, in comparison to other traditional Heusler compounds, the relatively large...

Realizing the Potential of RF-Sputtered Hydrogenated Fluorine-Doped Indium Oxide as an Electrode Material for Ultrathin SiO _x/Poly-Si Passivating Contacts

In high-efficiency silicon solar cells featuring carrier-selective passivating contacts based on ultrathin SiOx/poly-Si, the appropriate implementation of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layers is of vital importance. Considerable deterioration in passivation quality occurs for thin poly-Si-based devices owing to the sputtering damage...
