Their different applications and desired performances require a precise control of the film thickness and elemental depth profile. This information can be non-destructively obtained combining Grazing-Incidence X-ray Fluorescence (GIXRF) and X-ray Reflectometry (XRR) analysis. GIXRF-XRR joint analysis can be performed following a reference-free approach, which requires the knowledge of the whole experimental system. However, such a rigorous metrological approach cannot be easily applied to in-lab or in-fab tools due to the difficulty to access the various experimental set-up parameters, therefore another approach is needed. In this paper, we used a reference-based method consisting in the use of known standard samples, close in composition and structure with respect to the samples to analyse, to deduce the key parameters of the instrumental setup. These are then used to perform quantitative GIXRF-XRR combined analysis of the samples of interest. We applied this method to titanium tungsten nitride thin films elaborated by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). Our results show that the reference-based method, using carefully determined instrumental functions, can meet the requirement for both qualitative and quantitative depth-profiling analysis. The reference-based approach result easier to implement into labs and fabs than the reference-free method.}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0584854719305920}, web_url = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sab.2020.105926}, ISSN = {0584-8547}, DOI = {10.1016/j.sab.2020.105926}, author = {Torrengo, Simona and Eichert, Diane and Mazel, Y. and Bernard, M. and M{\'e}nesguen, Yves and L{\'e}py, Marie-Christine and Nolot, Emmanuel} } @Article { , title = {Challenges and opportunities for an efficiency boost of next generation Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells: prospects for a paradigm shift}, journal = {Energy Environ. Sci.}, year = {2020}, month = {5}, day = {13}, volume = {13}, pages = {2047-2055}, abstract = {Cu(In,Ga)Se2 photovoltaic technology has notably progressed over the past years. Power conversion efficiencies above 23\% were reached in spite of the polycrystalline nature of the absorber. Although efficiencies are still far from the practical limits, the material quality is approaching that of III–V compounds that yield the most efficient solar cells. The high carrier lifetime, low open circuit voltage deficit and external radiative efficiency in the single-digit percentage range suggest that the next efficiency boost may arise from the implementation of alternative device architectures. In this perspective paper, we describe the current challenges and pathways to enhance the power conversion efficiency of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells. Specifically, we suggest the use of non-graded absorbers, integration of charge selective contacts and maximization of photon recycling. We examine these concepts by a semi-empirical device modelling approach, and show that these strategies can lead to efficiencies of 29\% under the AM1.5 global spectrum. An analysis of whether or not current state-of-the-art Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells already benefit from photon recycling is also presented.}, DOI = {10.1039/D0EE00834F}, author = {Ochoa, Mario and Buecheler, Stephan and Tiwari, Ayodhya N. and Carron, Romain} } @Article { , title = {Colloidal bimetallic platinum–ruthenium nanoparticles in ordered mesoporous carbon films as highly active electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction}, journal = {Catal.

Water electrolysis can convert electrical energy into storable and transportable hydrogen gas. Under acidic conditions, platinum is the most active and stable monometallic catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Yet, platinum is rare and needs to be used efficiently. Here, we report a synthesis concept for colloidal bimetallic platinum–ruthenium and rhodium–ruthenium nanoparticles (PtRuNP, RhRuNP) and their incorporation into ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) films. The films exhibit high surface area, good electrical conductivity and well-dispersed nanoparticles inside the mesopores. The nanoparticles retain their size, crystallinity and composition during carbonization. In the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), PtRuNP/OMC catalyst films show up to five times higher activity per Pt than Pt/C/Nafion® and PtRu/C/Nafion® reference catalysts.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1039/C9CY02285F}, DOI = {10.1039/C9CY02285F}, author = {Sachse, Ren{\'e} and Bernsmeier, Denis and Schmack, Roman and H{\"a}usler, Ines and Hertwig, Andreas and Kraffert, Katrin and Nissen, J{\"o}rg and Kraehnert, Ralph} } @Article { , title = {AlOx Surface Passivation of Black Silicon by Spatial ALD: Stability under Light Soaking and Damp Heat Exposure}, journal = {Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A}, year = {2020}, month = {1}, day = {8}, volume = {38}, pages = {022401}, web_url = {https://avs.scitation.org/doi/10.1116/1.5133896}, DOI = {10.1116/1.5133896}, author = {Heikkinen, Ismo T.S. and Koutsourakis, George and Virtanen, Sauli and Yli-Koski, Marko and Wood, Sebastian and V{\"a}h{\"a}nissi, Ville and Salmi, Emma and Castro, Fernando A. and Savin, Hele} } @Article { , title = {Assessing Optical and Electrical Properties of Highly Active IrOx Catalysts for the Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution Reaction via Spectroscopic Ellipsometry}, journal = {ACS Catal.}, year = {2020}, volume = {10}, number = {23}, pages = {14210–14223}, url = {https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscatal.0c03800}, DOI = {10.1021/acscatal.0c03800}, author = {Sachse, Ren{\'e} and Pfl{\"u}ger, Mika and Velasco-Vélez, Juan-Jesús and Sahre, Mario and Radnik, Jörg and Bernicke, Michael and Bernsmeier, Denis and Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan and Krumrey, Michael and Strasser, Peter and Kraehnert, Ralph and Hertwig, Andreas} } @Article { , title = {ALD-ZnMgO and absorber surface modifications to substitute CdS buffer layers in co-evaporated CIGSe solar cells}, journal = {EPJ Photovoltaics}, year = {2020}, number = {11}, pages = {12}, url = {https://www.epj-pv.org/articles/epjpv/full_html/2020/01/pv200013/pv200013.html}, DOI = {10.1051/epjpv/2020010}, author = {Hertwig, Ramis and Nishikawa, Shiro and Ochoa, Mario and Yang, Shih-Chi and Feurer, Thomas and Gilshtein, Evgeniia and Tiwari, Ayodhya N. and Carron, Romain} } @Proceedings { , title = {Stability of the Surface Passivation Properties of Atomic Layer Deposited Aluminum Oxide in Damp Heat Conditions}, journal = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, year = {2019}, month = {8}, day = {17}, volume = {2147}, pages = {050003}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5123852}, DOI = {10.1063/1.5123852}, author = {Heikkinen, Ismo T.S. and Koutsourakis, George and Wood, Sebastian and V{\"a}h{\"a}nissi, Ville and Castro, Fernando A. and Savin, Hele} } @Article { , title = {Analysis of elemental composition and porosity of mesoporous iridium-titanium mixed oxide thin films for energy application by SEM/EDS}, journal = {Microscopy and Microanalysis}, year = {2019}, month = {8}, volume = {25}, number = {Supplement S2}, pages = {1770-1771}, DOI = {10.1017/S1431927619009589}, author = {Sachse, Ren{\'e} and Hodoroaba, Vasile-Dan and Hertwig, Andreas and Kotil, L. and Kraehnert, Ralph} } @Article { , title = {In situ contactless thermal characterisation and imaging of encapsulated photovoltaic devices using phosphor thermometry}, journal = {Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications}, year = {2019}, month = {6}, day = {11}, volume = {27}, number = {8}, pages = {673-681}, DOI = {10.1002/pip.3142}, author = {Cao, Yameng and Koutsourakis, George and Sutton, Gavin J.

Here we present scanning probe tomography using a commercial Pt-Ir coated tip and controlling the tip loading force to sequentially characterise and remove layers from the surface of a sample. We demonstrate this process on a sample exhibiting a polymer nanowire morphology, which is typically used for organic electronic applications, and present a tomographic reconstruction of the nanoscale charge transport network of the semi-crystalline polymer. Good electrical connectivity in 3D is demonstrated by directly probing the electrical properties of the inter-nanowire charge conduction.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5066458}, web_url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5066458}, DOI = {10.1063/1.5066458}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Chintala, Ravi Chandra and Wood, Sebastian and Blakesley, James C. and Favia, Paola and Celano, Umberto and Paredis, Kristof and Vandervorst, Wilfried and Castro, Fernando A.} } @Article { , title = {Defect Annihilation by Preferential Grain Growth during Cu(In,Ga)Se2Co-evaporation}, journal = {2018 IEEE 7th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC)}, year = {2018}, month = {11}, day = {29}, abstract = {To gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and driving forces responsible for the microstructural changes during the Cu-Se deposition of the three-stage Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 co-evaporation process and its effect on the absorber quality, we have performed a series of in-situ studies as well as complementing ex-situ studies in the recent past.
