Researchers print nanocoating on next-generation solar cells, allowing them to work in tandem with silicon solar cells to boost efficiencies

Nanowerk   -   Nanotechnology Websites

Researchers have developed a method to 'print' a protective coating of copper oxide over the perovskite device. They have shown that only a 3-nanometre thick coating is sufficient to prevent any damage to the perovskite after depositing ...

Optical shaping of polarization anisotropy in a laterally-coupled-quantum-dot dimer

EurekAlert   -   Scientific News Websites

Coupled-quantum-dot (CQD) structures are considered to be an important building block in the development of scalable quantum devices. We found that emission of a laterally-coupled QD structure is strongly polarized along the coupled direction and ...
