A new method for the determination of thin film porosity

Internal reflection spectroscopy may be used to determine presence of water in thin film pores. Presence of water in such pores is function of relative humidity and pore size. Thus, one can determine pore size by controlling humidity. Fluids with surface tension different from that of water can be used to detect pores.

Humidity resistant solar cell contacts

Gold-platinum solar cell contact is developed which does not exhibit chemical reactivity of titanium or porosity of silver. This contact offers excellent ohmic characteristics and stability in humid air.
