Abstract

The ideal band gap for a photovoltaic active layer for the solar spectrum is around 1.3 eV. However oxides with such values are rare. One of the most studied oxides to date as a photovoltaic active layer is the cuprous oxide Cu2O. Its band gap is around 2.1 eV and is therefore not ideal for the solar spectrum. Power Conversion Efficiency generally do not exceed 4%. In this paper we propose to study an emerging type of solar cell that is based on ferroelectricity. In this type of solar cell, a p-n junction is not necessarily required, unlike conventional solar cells. Interesting conversion efficiencies are beginning to be obtained with this type of cell, however the mechanisms are still not well understood and several material and engineering challenges must be addressed. The objective of this paper is to initiate an innovative photovoltaic technology based on novel inorganic with suitable bandgap widths and organic materials (biopolymer). These oxides are more stables. We synthesized ferroelectric materials that absorb a large part of the solar spectrum with reduced bandgap widths. PZN-4.5PT nanoparticles were dispersed in a biopolymer matrix. Hybrid thin films with these inorganic nanoparticles embedded in a biopolymer have been successfully fabricated by spin coating on ITO substrate. Structural, morphological and electrical properties were investigated. The best Power Conversion Efficiencies measure under a light LED illumination of 3550 lux are respectively 21.83 % and 31.62 % for 15 and 30 min light exposition with an open-circuit voltage of 5.17 and 5.86 V.

Microscopic Understanding of Thermal-magnon Transport in a Low-damping Ferrimagnetic Thin Films

Thermally generated magnons enable heat-driven spin transport in magnetic insulators, yet the microscopic mechanisms governing their propagation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate thermal magnon transport in low-damping Li$_{0.5}$Al$_{1.0}$Fe$_{1.5}$O$_4$/Pt nanodevices using a nonlocal spin Seebeck geometry that separates magnon transport from local thermoelectric effects. Thermal imaging establishes a detector region outside the thermal healing length, enabling intrinsic nonlocal measurements. We find that thermal magnon transport is strongly suppressed by magnetic fields far above saturation. Brillouin light scattering reveals that increasing field reduces the group velocity of backward volume magnons, providing a microscopic origin for the observed reduction in magnon spin diffusion length. We further find that thermal magnon transport decreases with increasing temperature despite an increasing magnon population. Micromagnetic simulations reproduce this behavior only when a temperature-dependent exchange stiffness is included. These results identify magnon group velocity and exchange stiffness as key parameters governing thermal magnon transport in ferrimagnetic thin films.

Transport properties and topological phase transitions for a Creutz-Su-Schrieffer-Heeger ladder

In this work, we investigate the electronic, topological, and transport properties of a Creutz-Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (CSSH) ladder. Using a tight-binding model within the Green's function formalism, we calculate the energy spectrum, local density of states (LDOS), and electronic transmission. We first determine the energy spectrum of the CSSH ladder and analyze the different topological phases present in the system, identifying one trivial phase and three distinct nontrivial regions. We then study electronic transport and show that the transmission reproduces the different topological phases through characteristic transport signatures. Finally, we derive the conditions for the emergence of non-topological flat bands and demonstrate that these bands also provide the necessary conditions for the formation of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Our results establish a direct connection between the topological properties, flat-band formation, and electronic transport in the CSSH ladder.

Exact Phase-Space Rotation in the Trapped Quantum Calogero Model

We develop a microscopic phase-space description of the quantum Calogero model in the presence of an external harmonic confining potential. Building on the quantum Lax-pair structure, we construct a Hermitian Wigner operator whose expectation value obeys the exact phase-space evolution equation d_t rho + lambda d_x rho - Omega^2 x d_lambda rho = 0 for arbitrary initial states and to all orders in the interaction strength. The resulting dynamics is a rigid rotation in phase space with period 2 pi/Omega, providing a microscopic realization of the isochronous dynamics of the trapped Calogero model. We further show that the moments of the phase-space density form rotating multiplets rather than independent conserved quantities. In particular, within the quadratic sector, the unique conserved combination is proportional to the trapped Hamiltonian, providing a nontrivial consistency check of the construction. In the limit Omega -> 0, the equation reduces to the exact free-streaming equation of the untrapped model.
