In 1811 Gay-Lussac and Thenard probably obtained impure amorphous silicon by heating potassium with silicon tetrafluoride; however, the discovery of this element is usually credited to Berzelius ...

Scientists have developed a window that uses a semi-transparent amorphous silicon PV layer. The group tested the system in London at different inclination angles and found it can achieve a maximum ...

When lithium reacts with amorphous silicon, amorphous LixSi is formed. The voltage composition curve of Li/a-LixSi cells has been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in ...

The larger and more uniform grains of polysilicon (poly-Si) allow electrons to flow 100 times faster than they do through the random-sized grains of amorphous silicon (a-Si), enabling higher ...

These properties surpass those of conventional silicon steel, positioning the new alloys as promising candidates for ...
