Carbon-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures and their photoresponse behaviors by Zhan, Zhaoyao

“…First, there is a builtin electric field at the interfacial area, which helps to separate the bound exciton; then, the hybrid nanostructure bears an extremely high interfacial area which provides countless sites for exciton dlssoclation." According to the understanding on electrons transport in nanoparticle structures, under illumination, the photogenerated electrons repeatedly interact with a distribution of traps as they undertake a random hopping through the nanoparticles. …”

Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. Hence, it is an essential and significant problem to maintain system’s stability with high level wind power penetration. …”

Development of selenization/sulfurization-free CuIn(S,Se)2 for thin film solar cells applications by Wang, Mengxi

“…As mentioned earlier, large CIGS grains will result in films that showed better solar cell performance and one of the reasons is that they have fewer defect sites and recombination centers. As a route to larger grain size, nanoparticles is first synthesized and by encouraging growth in these individual CIGS nanoparticles, micron sized grains can be achieved. …”
