Role of Cation Ordering on Device Performance in (Ag,Cu)InSe 2 Solar Cells with KF Post-Deposition Treatment

CuInSe 2 (CIS) has been proposed as an attractive bottom cell candidate in tandem solar cells. However, to justify the coupling with high-performance top cells (e.g., perovskites, GaAs), significant work on improving the efficiency is required. To this extent, several authors have demonstrated the benefits of alkali post-deposition treatments (PDT) to increase device open-circuit voltage (V oc ) in CIS and how Ag alloying - (Ag,Cu)InSe 2 (ACIS) - reduces defect density and enhances current collection in devices. Herein, we present a detailed study of the role that KF-PDT plays on CIS and ACIS absorber composition and structure, and propose an explanation for the decreased V oc observed when silver and potassium coexist in the system (ACIS + KF). Through a suite of synchrotron-based techniques, we investigate the nanoscale chemical distribution of the films and the formation of secondary phases. Through photoluminescence imaging, we observed a high degree of passivation with the addition of KF, and synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction confirmed the absence of a KInSe 2 surface layer usually considered to be a passivating agent. Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray fluorescence show the increased presence of Cu- and Se-poor clusters in ACIS + KF, which are correlated to significantly reduced X-ray beam-induced current (XBIC). An increase in the intensity of the E/B 2 stretching mode of CIS is attributed to cation ordering near the junction and is found to track inversely to bulk V oc measurements. The cation ordering is hypothesized to arise from the formation and redistribution of defects that normally occur near the surfaces of CIS as a consequence of its polar character. Here, these defects compensate each other, and the overall inhomogeneity of the charge distribution generates electrostatic potential fluctuations that greatly increase the saturation current and hence reduce the open-circuit voltage of the device.

In-Field Diffuse Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and Imaging of the Stardust Sample Return Capsule

In-field diffuse Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and imaging systems were developed for the purposes of evaluating the surface chemical composition of spacecraft thermal control coatings and materials. The investigation of these systems and the compilation of an associated UV reflectance and luminescence database were conducted using the Stardust Sample Return Capsule (SRC), located at the Johnson Space Center. Spectral responses of the surfaces of the Stardust forebody and aftbody in both reflectance and fluorescence modes were examined post-flight. In this paper, we report on two primary findings of in-field diffuse UV spectroscopy and imaging: (1) deduction of the thermal history of thermal control coatings of the forebody and (2) bond line variations in the aftbody. In the forebody, the thermal history of thermal control coatings may be deduced from the presence of particular semiconducting defect states associated with ZnO, a common emissivity constituent in thermal control coatings. A spatial dependence of this history was mapped for these regions. In the aftbody, luminescing defect states, associated with Si and SiO2 color centers were found along regions of bond variability.

Quantitative Measurement of Positive and Negative Ion Species Ejected from a Li–O–H Surface by Hydrogen and Noble Gas Ion Irradiation

We report sputtering yields of Li + , H - , O - , and OH x - ion species from an Li–O–H surface for H, D, He, Ne, and Ar ion irradiation at 45° incidence in the energy range of 30–2000 eV. A Li film was deposited on a stainless steel target using Li evaporators in the LTX-β vessel, using the LTX-β Sample Exposure Probe (SEP), which includes an ultrahigh vacuum suitcase for transferring targets without significant contamination from air exposure. The SEP was used to transfer the Li-coated target from LTX-β to a separate Sample Exposure Station (SES) to perform ion exposure measurements. The SEP was also used for characterization of the Li-coated target utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in a different chamber, showing that the lithium film surface was oxidized. Ion exposures were performed using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma source in the SES. Sputtered/ejected species were sampled by a quadrupole mass spectrometer with capabilities for detecting positive and negative ions, and an energy filter for determining the mean kinetic energy of the ejected ion species. All ion irradiations caused Li + ions to be ejected, while causing impurity ions such as H + , H - , O - and OH - to be ejected. Measured ion energies of Li + ions from a Li–O–H surface suggested that the typical sheath potential on the divertor surface can trap sputtered Li + ions, which were previously reported as ~ 60% of total sputtered Li species from Li targets (Allain and Ruzic in Nucl Fusion 42:202, 2002). Hence, our results for the sputtering yields of ejected ion species and their associated ion energies from a Li–O–H surface indicates that lithium sputtering is suppressed and impurity removal is enhanced due to the sheath potential at the divertor surface for fusion reactor applications.

Si-based materials for lithium-ion batteries X: 70% surface-modified Si/C/polyvinylidine difluoride-carbon black/lithiated polyacrylic acid electrode

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to analyze a 70% Si/C/polyvinylidine difluoride/carbon black/lithiated polyacrylic acid electrode fabricated at the Cell Analysis, Modeling, and Prototyping Facility (CAMP), Argonne National Laboratory. The spectra were obtained using incident monochromatic Al Kα radiation at 1486.6 eV (0.834 01 nm). A survey spectrum together with O 1s, C 1s, and Si 2p are presented. The spectra indicate the principal core level photoelectron and Auger electron signals with only minor copper and lithium signals and show the expected silicon-carbon and silicon-fluorine species related to the surface modification process in addition to oxidized carbon and silicon due to atmospheric exposure.

Plasma-Initiated Graft Polymerization of Acrylic Acid onto Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide as a Platform for Immobilization of Water-Oxidation Catalysts

The discovery of new and versatile strategies for the immobilization of molecular water-oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is crucial for developing clean energy conversion devices [e.g., (photo)electrocatalytic cells for water splitting]. The traditional approach for surface attachment to transparent conductive oxides [e.g., fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)] is via synthetic modification of the ligand architecture to incorporate functional groups such as carboxylic acids (-COOH) or phosphonates (-PO 3 H 2 ) prior to immobilization. However, challenges arising from desorption and the cumbersome derivatizations steps have limited the scope and applications of surface-bound WOCs. Herein, we report the successful immobilization of underivatized Ru(II)-based WOCs (Ru–Cat1 = [Ru(tpy) (bpy) (H 2 O)] 2+ (tpy = 2,2':6'2"–terpyridine and bpy = 2,2;-bipyridine) and Ru–Cat2 = [Ru(Mebimpy) (bpy) (H 2 O)] 2+ (Mebimpy = 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl) pyridine)) and the Ru(II) polypyridyl chromophore Ru–C3 = [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ onto a FTO plasma-grafted poly(acrylic acid) surface (PAA|FTO). Various characterization techniques such as attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry measurements provide evidence for the plasma-induced grafted PAA|FTO film and immobilization. Surface stability and electrocatalytic properties of these new hybrid composite films upon cycling were investigated at different pH values. Immobilized Ru–Cat1 and Ru–Cat2 onto PAA|FTO displayed pH-dependent (RuIII/RuII) couples and onset potentials indicative of PCET (proton-coupled electron transfer) reactions. Based on cyclic voltammetry results and spectroscopic monitoring, the immobilized WOCs Ru–Cat1 and Ru–Cat2 exhibited a higher surface stability in neutral aqueous solutions relative to Ru–C3 upon electrochemical oxidation. Furthermore, we attribute the surface PCET and stability to the presence of a water ligand in the coordination sphere of immobilized Ru–Cat1 and Ru–Cat2 which can H-bond with negatively charged carboxylate groups of the cross-linked PAA brushes. Our findings demonstrate that the plasma-grafted polymeric network onto FTO offers a versatile platform to directly anchor unmodified homogeneous WOCs or chromophores for potential applications in solar-to-fuel energy conversion.

Band structure and Fermi surface nesting in LaSb 2

Here we use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure of the charge density wave (CDW) system LaSb 2 . This compound is among an interesting group of materials that manifests both a CDW transition and lower temperature superconductivity. We find the DFT calculations to be in good agreement with our ARPES data. The Fermi surface of LaSb 2 consists of two small hole pockets close to Γ and four larger pockets near the Brillouin zone boundary. The key features of the Fermi surface do not vary significantly with temperature. A saddle point is present at -0.19 eV below the Fermi level at Γ. Saddle points in the band structure have more pronounced effects on materials properties when they are located closer to the Fermi level, making doped LaSb 2 compounds a potential interesting subject of future research. Multiple peaks are present in the generalized, electronic susceptibility calculations, indicating the presence of three possible nesting vectors. We were not able to detect any signatures of the CDW transition at 355 K down to the lowest temperature of 7 K, pointing to the subtle nature of this transition. This is unusual, given that such a high transition temperature is expected to be associated with the presence of a large CDW gap. This is confirmed through investigation of the Fermi surface and through analysis of momentum distribution curves. It is possible that changes are subtle and occur below current sensitivity of our measurements.

Adsorption and condensation of Cu on W single-crystal surfaces

The adsorption and condensation of Cu up to several monolayers in thickness on tungsten 110 and 100 single-crystal surfaces are studied by combining low-energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, thermal desorption spectroscopy, work-function measurements, and quartz microbalance thickness measurements in one experimental system. The results show drastic differences in the evolution of the structure, work function, and desorption behavior between 110 and 100 surfaces. These differences are understandable in terms of the atomic roughness of the surfaces.

Use of particle beams for lunar prospecting

A key issue in choosing the appropriate site for a manned lunar base is the availability of resources, particularly oxygen and hydrogen for the production of water, and ores for the production of fuels and building materials. NASA has proposed two Lunar Scout missions that would orbit the Moon and use, among other instruments, a hard X-ray spectrometer, a neutron spectrometer, and a Ge gamma ray spectrometer to map the lunar surface. This passive instrumentation will have low resolution (tens of kilometers) due to the low signal levels produced by natural radioactivity and the interaction of cosmic rays and the solar wind with the lunar surface. This paper presents the results of a concept definition effort for a neutral particle beam lunar mapper probe. The idea of using particle beam probes to survey asteroids was first proposed by Sagdeev et al., and an ion beam device was fielded on the 1988 Soviet probe to the Mars moon Phobos. During the past five years, significant advances in the technology of neutral particle beams (NPB) have led to a suborbital flight of a neutral hydrogen beam device in the SDIO-sponsored BEAR experiment. An orbital experiment, the Neutral Particle Beam Far Field Optics Experiment (NPB-FOX) is presently in the preliminary design phase. The development of NPB accelerators that are space-operable leads one to consider the utility of these devices for probing the surface of the Moon using gamma ray, X-ray, and optical/UV spectroscopy to locate various elements and compounds. We consider the utility of the NPB-FOX satellite containing a 5-MeV particle beam accelerator as a probe in lunar orbit. Irradiation of the lunar surface by the particle beam will induce secondary and back scattered radiation from the lunar surface to be detected by a sensor that may be co-orbital with or on the particle beam satellite platform, or may be in a separate orbit. The secondary radiation is characteristic of the make-up of the lunar surface. The size of the spot irradiated by the beam is less than 1 km wide along the ground track of the satellite, resulting in the potential for high resolution. The fact that the probe could be placed in polar orbit would result in global coverage of the lunar surface. The orbital particle beam probe could provide the basis for selection of sites for more detailed prospecting by surface rovers.

Synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy and -imaging

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has evolved into a powerful analytical technique to probe molecular and lattice vibrations, low-energy electronic excitations and correlations, and related collective surface plasmon, phonon, or other polaritonic resonances. In combination with scanning probe microscopy, near-field infrared nano-spectroscopy and -imaging techniques have recently emerged as a frontier in imaging science, enabling the study of complex heterogeneous materials with simultaneous nanoscale spatial resolution and chemical and quantum state spectroscopic specificity. Here, we describe synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy (SINS), which takes advantage of the low-noise, broadband, high spectral irradiance, and coherence of synchrotron infrared radiation for near-field infrared measurements across the mid- to far-infrared with nanometer spatial resolution. This powerful combination provides a qualitatively new form of broadband spatio-spectral analysis of nanoscale, mesoscale, and surface phenomena that were previously difficult to study with IR techniques, or even any form of micro-spectroscopy in general. We review the development of SINS, describe its technical implementations, and highlight selected examples representative of the rapidly growing range of applications in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, geology, and atmospheric and space sciences.

Tailoring the Physicochemical Properties of Nb Thin Films via Surface Engineering Methods

The modification of surface oxide layers formed on niobium (Nb) thin films via chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and accelerated neutral atom beam (ANAB) processing provides a promising route toward tailoring their emergent properties and performance when used as superconducting qubits. Here, in this study, we show that CMP- and ANAB-formed Nb oxides are significantly thinner and smoother than the native oxide, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy. Scanning TEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy along with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy identified an oxidation gradient within the native and surface-engineered oxides. The topside layer is dominated by Nb 5+ (Nb 2 O 5 ), with various Nb suboxides present closer to the oxide/metal interface. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) depth profiling confirmed the presence of an oxygen content gradient and demonstrated the enhanced resistance of the CMP- and ANAB-formed oxides to oxygen surface exchange and subsequent diffusion via 18 O 2 isotopic labeling experiments. ToF-SIMS also identified an interfacial layer containing trapped hydrogen (H)-containing species at the Nb oxide/metal interface. In situ ToF-SIMS and TEM revealed migration of the H/OH interfacial layer coinciding with decomposition of the surface oxide. Furthermore, our density functional theory calculations indicated that both H from moisture present in ambient air and bulk H in Nb films tend to segregate at the interface. These findings underscore the importance of understanding surface oxidation mechanisms, hydrogen incorporation, and their impact on the designed functionalities of Nb-based devices.

Titan Submarine: Exploring The Depths of Kraken Mare

The conceptual design of a submarine for Saturn's moon Titan was a funded NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I for 2014. The effort investigated what science a submarine for Titan's liquid hydrocarbon approximately 93 Kelvin (-180 degrees Centigrade) seas might accomplish and what that submarine might look like. Focusing on a flagship class science system (approximately100 kilograms) it was found that a submersible platform can accomplish extensive and exciting science both above and below the surface of the Kraken Mare The submerged science includes mapping using side looking sonar, imaging and spectroscopy of the sea at all depths, as well as sampling of the sea's bottom and shallow shoreline. While surfaced the submarine will not only sense weather conditions (including the interaction between the liquid and atmosphere) but also image the shoreline, as much as 2 kilometers inland. This imaging requirement pushed the landing date to Titan's next summer period (approximately 2047) to allow for continuous lighted conditions, as well as direct-to-Earth (DTE) communication, avoiding the need for a separate relay orbiter spacecraft. Submerged and surfaced investigation are key to understanding both the hydrological cycle of Titan as well as gather hints to how life may have begun on Earth using liquid/sediment/chemical interactions. An estimated 25 megabits of data per day would be generated by the various science packages. Most of the science packages (electronics at least) can be safely kept inside the submarine pressure vessel and warmed by the isotope power system. This paper discusses the results of Phase I as well as the plans for Phase II.

Solar Coronal Phenomenon: Imaging Spectroscopy

The Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona, is significantly hotter than its surface, presenting a long-standing scientific mystery. One hypothesis is that small, frequent bursts of energy, called nanoflares, may be responsible for this heating, though the exact mechanism remains unclear. Additionally, certain elements in the corona appear more abundant than expected, a phenomenon termed the "FIP effect," which might also be linked to coronal heating processes. Imaging X-ray spectroscopy offers a powerful method for investigating these solar mysteries. In this talk, we will explore these intriguing questions about the Sun and discuss how imaging X-ray spectroscopy can provide insights. We will introduce the Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (MaGIXS) sounding rocket experiment and its recent successful flight, designed to probe these enigmatic aspects of the Sun.

New Insights into the Bulk and Surface Defect Structures of Ceria Nanocrystals from Neutron Scattering Study

Neutron diffraction and pair distribution function studies coupled with Raman spectroscopy have successfully unraveled the detailed oxygen defect structures of ceria nanocubes and nanorods. Two types of defect sites are revealed for the ceria nanocrystals: surface and bulk defects. It is proposed that the surface oxygen defects in both types of CeO 2 nanocrystals are predominantly the partially reduced Ce 3 O 5+x , with the bulk defect structures dominated by interstitial Frenkel-type oxygen vacancies. Ceria nanorods possess much higher concentration of surface oxygen defects relative to the nanocubes, albeit with only slightly higher concentration of bulk Frenkel-type oxygen vacancies. Upon annealing the nanorod sample at 600 °C under vacuum (~10 –4 to 10 –5 mbar), a partially reduced ceria phase with long-range oxygen vacancy ordering (Ce 3 O 5+x ) has been observed experimentally for the first time. This intriguing observation that surface defect phases can take on ordered defect sublattices under certain conditions is of great value in understanding the temperature-dependent catalytic performance of ceria nanocrystals. Furthermore, a drastic decrease of the surface vacancies in the ceria nanocrystals is observed upon exposure to SO 2 , especially for the nanorods, a likely origin for the sulfur poisoning effect on ceria-based materials. This study suggests that tailoring surface morphology is a promising strategy to control defect properties of ceria nanomaterials. It also provides fundamental insights to stabilize surface oxygen defects in CeO 2 nanocrystals to achieve high redox performance under corrosive environments such as under SO 2 /SO x exposure.

Reconstructing the Wave Function of Magnetic Topological Insulators MnBi 2 ⁢Te 4 and MnBi 4 ⁢Te 7 Using Spin-Resolved Photoemission

Despite their importance for exotic quantum effects, the surface electronic structure of magnetic topological insulators MnBi 2 ⁢Te 4 and MnBi 4 ⁢Te 7 remains poorly understood. Using high-efficiency spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we directly image the spin-polarization and orbital character of the surface states in both compounds and map our observations onto a model wave function to describe the complex spin-orbital texture, which solidifies our understanding of the surface band structure by establishing the single-band nature of the most prominent states. Most importantly, our analysis reveals a new mechanism for reducing the magnetic gap of the topological surface states based on the orbital composition of the wave function.

Suppression of hybridization by Cd doping in CeCoIn 5

The interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in heavy fermion compounds has remained a challenge ever since the discovery of unconventional superconductivity in such systems. The heavy fermion Ce T In 5 ( T = Co,Rh,Ir) family offers a good platform to study the relationship between superconductivity and magnetism, whose ground state can be easily tuned by chemical doping, making the ambient-pressure experimental techniques like angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy possible to address this old but engaging question. By Cd doping, the superconducting state of CeCoIn 5 can be smoothly tuned to an antiferromagnetic ground state, which can be reversed by applying pressure. In this study, we present an electronic structure study of CeCo ( In 0.85 Cd 0.15 ) 5 with an antiferromagnetic ground state and the results are compared with CeCoIn 5 . We found that the hybridization strength between the f electrons and conduction electrons in CeCoIn 5 has been suppressed by Cd doping, but still the Fermi surface includes a significant contribution from the Ce f electrons. Our results find that the electronic tuning effect by Cd doping arises from the change in the hybridization strength between the Ce f electrons and conduction electrons caused by the Cd dopant, and the subtle interplay between itinerancy and localization of the f electrons determines the ground state.

Interfacial Strong Coupling and Negative Dispersion of Propagating Polaritons in Freestanding Oxide Membranes

Membranes of complex oxides like perovskite SrTiO3 extend the multi-functional promise of oxide electronics into the nanoscale regime of 2D materials. Here, it is demonstrated that freestanding oxide membranes supply a reconfigurable platform for nano-photonics based on propagating surface phonon polaritons. Infrared near-field imaging and spectroscopy enabled by a tunable ultrafast laser are applied to study pristine nano-thick SrTiO3 membranes prepared by hybrid molecular beam epitaxy. As predicted by coupled mode theory, it is found that strong coupling of interfacial polaritons realizes symmetric and antisymmetric hybridized modes with simultaneously tunable negative and positive group velocities. By resolving reflection of these propagating modes from membrane edges, defects, and substrate structures, their dispersion is quantified with position-resolved nano-spectroscopy. Remarkably, polariton negative dispersion is found to be both robust and tunable through choice of membrane dielectric environment and thickness, and proposes a novel design for in-plane Veselago lensing harnessing this control. This work lays the foundation for tunable transformation optics at the nanoscale using polaritons in a wide range of freestanding complex oxide membranes.

Distinct Melt Infusion Architectures of Antiperovskite Solid Electrolytes

Antiperovskite solid electrolytes are an emerging class of lithium‐ion conductors distinguished by their unusually low melting points, enabling scalable, low‐temperature processing routes not accessible to most solid electrolytes. In this work, we synthesize phase‐pure chloride (Cl), bromide (Br), and mixed halide (ClBr) variants of antiperovskites and investigate their ionic conductivities in both powder and hot‐pressed forms. Hot pressing significantly enhances conductivity across all compositions, while energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) of the mixed halide system reveals halide surface migration during densification. We further investigate the melt‐infiltration behavior of these electrolytes into substrates relevant to solid‐state battery architectures, including Al and Cu current collectors, conventional NMC and LFP cathodes, and a foamed NMC cathode with a highly porous architecture. The foamed cathode enables deep and uniform electrolyte penetration, highlighting the role of electrode architecture in facilitating melt infiltration. Across all substrates, electrolyte halide chemistry strongly influences wetting behavior, penetration depth, and resulting microstructural morphology. Together, these results establish clear processing–structure relationships for melt‐infiltrated antiperovskite solid electrolytes and demonstrate how electrolyte chemistry and electrode architecture govern interfacial morphology during integration, providing practical guidelines for processing and structural design in solid‐state battery systems.
