High-Resolution Local Current Measurement of CdTe Solar Cells

Author(s)
Heayoung Yoon, Dmitry A. Ruzmetov, Paul M. Haney, Marina S. Leite, Behrang H. Hamadani, Albert A. Talin, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
We investigate local electronic properties of CdTe solar cells using electron beam to excite electron-hole pairs and evaluate spatially resolved photocurrent

Upper roughness limitations on the TIS/RMS relationship

Author(s)
J C. Stover, Sven Schroeder, Thomas Germer
The relationship between total integrated scatter (TIS) and root mean square (rms) roughness was developed in the radar literature and enabled the first use of

Near-infrared calibration systems for precise radial-velocity measurements

Author(s)
Stephen L. Redman, Florian Kerber, Gillian Nave, Suvrath Mahadevan, Lawrence W. Ramsey, Jonathan Smoker, H-U Kaufl, Pedro Figueira
We present work done to prepare two new near-infrared calibration sources for use on high-precision astrophysical spectrographs. Uranium-neon is an atomic

Evacuation of People with Disabilities on Stairs

Author(s)
Erica D. Kuligowski, Bryan Hoskins, Richard D. Peacock, Emily A. Wiess
The time that it takes a population to reach safety when descending a stairwell during building evacuations is typically described by measureable engineering

More Thoughts on Defaults

Author(s)
Steve M. Gwynne, Erica D. Kuligowski, Michael Spearpoint
In this paper, the use of default values in egress models is explored and specific values are proposed to combat issues of model misuse. The authors suggest
