For that, we used an effective Gaussian donor-density profile to determine JEo, and an empirical method of two points to investigate the ideality factor n, short circuit current density Jsc, fill factor (FF), and photovoltaic conversion efficiency η, expressed as functions of the open circuit voltage Voc, giving rise to a satisfactory description of our obtained results, being compared also with other existing theoretical-and-experimental ones. So, in the completely transparent and heavily doped (P-Si) emitter region, CTHD(P-Si)ER, our obtained JEo-results were accurate within 1.78%. This accurate expression for JEo is thus imperative for continuing the performance improvement of solar cell systems. For example, in the physical conditions (PCs) of CTHD (P-Si) ER and of lightly doped (B-Si) base region, LD(B-Si)BR, we obtained the precisions of the order of 8.1% for Jsc, 7.1% for FF, and 5% for η, suggesting thus an accuracy of JBo (≤ 8.1%). Further, in the PCs of completely opaque and heavily doped (S-Si) emitter region, COHD(S-Si)ER, and of lightly doped (acceptor-Si) base region, LD(acceptor-Si)BR, our limiting η-results are equal to: 27.77%,…, 31.55%, according to the Egi-values equal to: 1.12eV ,…, 1.34eV, given in various (B,…, Tl)-Si base regions, respectively, being due to the acceptor-size effect. Furthermore, in the PCs of CTHD (donor-Si) ER and of LD(Tl-Si)BR, our maximal η-values are equal to: 24.28%,…, 31.51%, according to the Egi-values equal to: 1.11eV ,…, 1.70eV, given in various (Sb,…, S)-Si emitter regions, respectively, being due to the donor-size effect. It should be noted that these obtained highest η-values are found to be almost equal, as: 31.51%%≃31.55%, coming from the fact that the two obtained limiting J_o-values are almost the same.","PeriodicalId":7717,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Modern Physics","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72853062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the method of atomic force microscopy (AFM), vacancy cluster tubes (VCT) with average diameters of 39 nm for Al and 25 nm for Pb have been detected in the crystallized volume of Al and Pb metals. Physical model of the formation of a new substructure within the metals in the form of vacancy cluster tubes, received in the process of high-intensive plastic deformation (HIPD) during the process of mass crystallization of Al and Pb melts, and, also the changes in the mechanical, magnetic and superconducting properties of the above metals, which followed this process. When crystallizing Al and Pb under high-intensive plastic deformation (HIPD) of e′ = (102–104) per second type, in high-speed centrifugal casting devices, specially selected modes of metal crystallization are being chosen and special conditions are being created to achieve the dimensional effect of dynamic (shift) re-crystallization. Shift deformation during centrifugal crystallization is caused primarily by a large incline of the temperature field from the periphery (relative to the cold wall of the rotor) to the molten central part of the rotor. The difference in the angular movement velocities of the already-frozen part of the metal (adjacent to the outer surface of the rotor wall) and the central part, where the metal still remains in the molten state, leads to a high-intensity deformation [e′ = (102–104) sec-1] of the crystallized metal melt solidified phase. Since the grain sizes at the crystallized phase initially comprise around tens of nano-meters (approximately crystal nucleation size), it becomes possible to achieve the dimensional effect of the dynamic re-crystallization of a «nanocrystalline» solidified metal at high shift of strain velocities. The «non-equilibrium vacancies» formed this way condense into vacancy clusters, which are formed in the centrifugal force field in the form of vacancy-shaped cluster tubes stretched out to the center of rotation of the rotor. The process undergoes conditions that are considerably different from the «equilibrium» conditions as compared to the ordinary metal crystallization from the melt. Such processes can lead to the formation of highly ordered non-equilibrium states characteristic of non-equilibrium open systems.","PeriodicalId":7717,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Modern Physics","volume":"66 1","pages":"194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75279521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have studied the mechanisms of chemical dissociation, ionization, ion conversion and recombination in nitrogen plasmas, with kinetic temperature ( T g ) of the free electrons being higher than the kinetic temperature ( T g ) of heavy species. Therefore, the investigation of nitrogen plasma species in a wide range of pressure from 1 Torr to 760 Torr is interesting phenomena for obtaining the equilibrium state when the nitrogen species breakdown. In order to calculate the species densities to reach thermodynamic equilibrium under various conditions, a set of chemical kinetic reactions of nitrogen under consideration have been simulated. It solves the particle balance equations for a set of interacting species. In this study 16 reactions and 4 species of Nitrogen N, N 2 , N + , N 2 + and electron have been considered. The densities of the charged and neutral species are modeled by continuity equations which includes the relevant plasma-chemical kinetics. Nitrogen species density is guided by continuity equation where chemical processes and Arrhenius form are used to follow the change of species density over the time. To calculate the species densities over pressure, temperature and time the continuity equations of the 16 reactions for the 5 species under consideration giving their initial pressure, densities and temperatures, with the latter held constant have been solved. The variations of species densities have been investigated as a function of pressure ranging from 1 to 760 Torr. This model shows that as the pressure is increased the species densities of nitrogen plasma also increase from pressure 1 to 200 Torr and after pressure above 200 Torr the species densities become almost saturated. The change of species densities at various temperatures ranging from 2000 Kelvin to 25000 Kelvin is successfully investigated. The destruction and production rates of the nitrogen species also have been calculated within the time ranging from 0 to 19nS and it shows that the density of nitrogen plasma increases with time. In our study we have considered the gas and electron temperature as 10k Kelvin and 4eV respectively.","PeriodicalId":7717,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Modern Physics","volume":"5 1","pages":"185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84450652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it has also many potential applications. This suggests that studying the quantum Zeno effect has great theoretical and experimental significance. In this work, the system of a two-level atom interacting with a single mode field is considered and the dynamics of the system subjected to successive projection measurements is studied, and the quantum Zeno effect is presented. Moreover, the influence of the quantum Zeno effect on atomic population inversion is discussed. Based on Schrodinger equation, the survival probability of the initial state of the two-level atom subjected to frequently repeated measurements can be obtained. The survival probability depends on the time interval between measurements. It is seen that the exponential decay of the system under slowly frequent measurements is presented instead of the naturally oscillatory process. For slowly repeated measurements the atomic population inversion and the survival probability of initial state decline rapidly at the early time and then both of them become unchanged. As the time intervals of the measurements are sufficiently short, the quantum Zeno effect occurs. These results have also shown how the measurement can inhibit the atomic population inversion.","PeriodicalId":7717,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Modern Physics","volume":"66 1","pages":"180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77284076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
