Metallic multilayer films with the individual layer thickness h decreased to submicron or even less have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decades because of their impressive mechanical properties, especially the high strength. Mos...
This thesis work investigates the current transport mechanisms at the Si/gridline interface of the screen-printed commercial silicon (Si) solar cell with lowly doped emitter. The use of lightly doped emitter is one way to improve the efficiency of...
With increased availability and growing commercial applications, aluminum- based metal matrix composites show promise as high specific strength structural materials. Before they can be implemented however, they require thorough characterization an...
