DIRECT FABRICATION OF ARRAYS OF CU(IN,GA)SE2 MICRO SOLAR CELLS BY SPUTTERING FOR MICRO-CONCENTRATOR PHOTOVOLTAICS

Direct fabrication of arrays of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 micro solar cells by sputtering for micro-concentrator photovoltaics

Micro-concentrator photovoltaics combines efficiency boosting light concentration with low electrical losses due to thermally cool sub-millimeter sized solar cells.Thin-film Cu(In,Ga)Se2 absorber layers do not suffer from edge recombination enabling miniaturization to the micrometer size, which allows for considerable material saving.Cu(In,Ga)Se2 m

Characterization of the sortase repertoire in Bacillus anthracis.

LPXTG proteins, present in most if not all Gram-positive bacteria, are known to be anchored by sortases to the bacterial peptidoglycan.More than one sortase gene is often encoded in a bacterial species, and each sortase is supposed to specifically anchor given LPXTG proteins, depending of the sequence of the C-terminal cell wall sorting signal (cws

A New Algorithm for Detecting X-Ray Shots in Cyg X-1

The short-term X-ray variability of Cyg X-1 can be interpreted as a random occurrence Hair Curlers of mini-flares known as the shots, whose physical nature is still unclear.We propose a new algorithm for shot identification in the X-ray light curve, based on baseline detection and template fitting.Compared with previous techniques, our algorithm al
