In the present paper calculation of CuInSe2(CIS)/ CdS solar cell efficiency is presented. The influence of the thickness and the optical band gap of CdS and CIS layers on the solar cell performances are investigated. The thickness of CdS buffer layer, wh ich is generally neglected is taken into account. The solar cells performances calculat ions are based on the calculation, by means of developed software written with Matlab, o f photocurrent from the resolution of the well known three coupling equations: continuity equation for holes in the CdS (n-region) and fo r electrons in the CIS (p- region) and Poisson equation. The obtained results indicated that the solar cell efficiency can be improved by reducing the CdS thickness or by increasing the CIS thickness. The efficiency increasing rates are 0.01 %/ n m and 0.5 %/n m for CdS and CIS layer thickness respectively. The CdS layer alters the shorter wavelength of the solar spectrum, wh ile the CIS layer alters the longer wavelength. CIS layer optical band gap is the most crucial parameter by co mparison to the optical gap of CdS layer.

Zircaloy-2 is mainly used in nuclear technology, as cladding of fuel rods in nuclear reactors, especially water reactors (BWRs). Hence high strength of Zirca loy-2 is of prime importance. This investigation deals with the effect of cryorolling on Zircaloy-2 by co mparing d ifferent tensile properties. For this analysis, four samp les with various degrees of cryorolling are taken and tensile tests are conducted on these samples. The obtained results are analyzed and the optimu m degree of cryorolling of Zircaloy-2 is obtained. The cryorolling imp roved the mechanical properties of the material as the dislocations are entangled near the grain boundaries and also due to decrease in the grain size. The microstructure of the sample is analysed by optical microscope, before and after cryorolling and the grain structure analysis is done.

Th is paper reports the effect of heat input on the resulting properties of joints between aluminiu m and copper produced with the friction stir weld ing process. The welds were produced using three different shoulder diameter tools, viz: 15, 18 and 25 mm by varying the rotational speed between 600 and 1200 rp m and the traverse speed between 50 and 300 mm/ min in order to vary the heat input to the welds. The microstructures, the grain sizes and the microhardness of the joint interfaces were characterised, and the electrical resistivities o f the jo ints were also measured. The resulting microstructural characterizat ion revealed that good metallurgical bonding was achieved at the jo int interfaces of the welds produced; this is evident with the presence of interlayers of aluminiu m and copper observed in the stir zones of the welds. The grains at the interfacial regions were recrystallized leading to a sharp decrease in the grain sizes compared to the parent materials. Higher Vickers microhardness values were measured at the joint interfaces resulting fro m strain hardening and the presence of intermetallics. It was also observed that the electrical resistivities of the jo ints increased as the heat input to the welds increases.

Bariu m carbonate (BaCO3) microstructures have been synthesized in aqueous solution under ambient condi- tions with PABA (p-amino benzoic acid) and HEEDTA (N-(2 hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine-N, N', N '' - triacetic acid) as simp le additives. In this study we demonstrate that the integration of both the additives, PABA and HEEDTA under different experimental conditions, such as crystallization sites and pH will extend the possibilities for controlling the shape and size on microstructures of the inorganic crystals by means of a slow CO2 simple d iffusion route. The influence of variation of pH condition with two different additives on the particle size and morphology was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffracto metry were used to characterize the products. The results indicate that bunch like dendrit ic and limpet teeth shaped, BaCO3 microstructures were obtained. Increasing pH led to the separation of rods from the co mplex structures.

A study on the flexural properties of wheat straw reinforced polyester composites is presented in this paper. The wheat straw/polyester composites were made as per the hand layup procedure and the instructions provided by the manufacturers. These specimens were then tested in the three point bend configuration in accordance with ASTM D790-07 at a span to depth ratio of 16. Four weight fractions of wheat straw 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% were chosen to be studied. The process-induced voids were studied and it is shown that voids play an important role in flexural properties. When voids exist, flexural modulus was calculated using a micromechanical model. It is shown from both the experimental results and calculation that flexural modulus decreases with the addition of wheat straw, and this reduction in flexural modulus is due to process-induced voids. Flexural strength of polyester resins does not increase with the addition of wheat straw as rein- forcement. This is due to poor interfacial adhesion and the existence of voids. In order to achieve reinforcement, treatment of straw fibers and better processing techniques to reduce voids are needed.

In this work, effect of post-annealing on the structural and optical properties of thermally evaporated PTCDI films deposited on quartz substrates is reported. The optical properties were investigated using spectrophotometric measurements in wavelength range 200-2500 n m fo r as -deposited and annealed films with the same thickness at different temperatures. The XRD studies confirm the films have orthorhomb ic structure (PNA21) space group. The optical constants were accurately determined using reflectance and transmittance spectra. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms o f single oscillator model. In addition, the rat io of free carrier concentration to its effective mass was estimated. The absorption analysis has been also performed in order to determine the type of electronic inter-band transitions for the films. Both direct and indirect transitions are present. The direct and indirect bandgap energy decreases with increasing temperature. The decrease in the energy can be explained by increase of delocalized π electrons due to thermal annealing.

Amorphous manganese dioxide thin films were prepared by galvanostatic cathodic deposition at current densities of 0.5-1 mA/cm 2 on etched stainless-steel substrate from 20 mM KMnO4 solution. The structure of the deposited oxides was investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis. The capacitive behavior of the manganese dioxide electrodes was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The capacitive performance was found to increase with the increase in the deposition current density. The electrode deposited at current density of 1 mA/cm 2 showed specific capacitance of 174 F/g at a scan rate of 10 mV/s, equivalent series resistance of 3.53 Ω, and charge transfer resistance of 1.39 Ω. The improvement in the capacitive behavior of the electrode with the increase in the deposition current density was attributed to the increase in the electronic properties of the deposited oxides.

In this work friction stir processing was utilized to successfully disperse and embed TiB2 particles with global size of 2.62 μm in Al 7075. The effects of rotational and traverse speeds with two FSP passes on particle distribution and microstructures were studied. Microstructure observations were carried out by employing optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the modified surface. The results showed that increasing the rotational speed caused a more uniform distribution of TiB2 Particles. Microhardness of the cross section and tensile test result were also evaluated. The microhardness values of produced composite surface raise with increasing the rotational and traverse speed and improved almost 3 times as compared with base aluminium. Tensile test result shows rising in yield strength by more than two times of base metal.
