Synthesis and characterization of semiconducting sinnerite (Cu6As4S9) thin films
Sinnerite (Cu6As4S9) is a semiconductor computed to have attractive optoelectronic properties, but little attention has been paid to its experimental synthesis and characterization. Here, the authors report the f...

Reaction pathways and optoelectronic characterization of single-phase Ag2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles
Sputtered thin films of Ag2ZnSnS4 (AZTS) have shown promising semiconducting properties in spite of the films containing SnS2, SnSx, or ZnS as impurity phases. In this study, reaction pathways were identified to ...

Sustainable co-production of food and solar power to relax land-use constraints
Renewable energy could often be land constrained by the diffuse nature of renewable resources. To relax land constraints, we propose the concept of ‘aglectric’ farming, where agricultural land will be sustaina...

Inkjet printed Cu(In,Ga)S2 nanoparticles for low-cost solar cells
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) thin film solar cells were fabricated by direct inkjet printing of Cu(In,Ga)S2 (CIGS) nanoparticles followed by rapid thermal annealing under selenium vapor. Inkjet printing is a low-cost, lo...

Constraint-Based Rule Mining in Large, Dense Databases
Constraint-based rule miners find all rules in a given data-set meeting user-specified constraints such as minimum support and confidence. We describe a new algorithm that directly exploits all user-specified ...
