Comparison of the crystallization behavior of Fe-Si-B-Cu and Fe-Si-B-Cu-Nb-based amorphous soft magnetic alloys by Smith, Casey, Katakam, Shravana, Nag, Soumya, Zhang, Y. R., Law, J. Y., Ramanujan, Raju V., Dahotre, Narendra B., Banerjee, Rajarshi

“…Consequently, the presence of Nb limits the growth rate of the α-Fe3Si nanocrystals in FINEMET and results in the activation of a larger no. of nucleation sites, leading to a substantially more refined microstructure as compared to the Fe76.5Si13.5B9Cu1 alloy.…”

Nanoparticle-induced grain growth of carbon-free solution-processed CuIn(S,Se)2 solar cell with 6% efficiency by Cai, Yongan, Ho, John C. W., Batabyal, Sudip Kumar, Liu, Wei, Sun, Yun, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Despite the initial promising results, most of the reported methods encounter challenges such as limited grain growth, Carbon-rich interlayer, high thermal budget and the presence of secondary Cu-rich phases, which limit the power conversion efficiency (PCE). …”
