Multi-modal and multi-scale non-local means method to analyze spectroscopic datasets

Martial Duchamp, Vasiliki Tileli

A multi-modal and multi-scale non-local means (M3S-NLM) method is proposed to extract atomically resolved spectroscopic maps from low signal-to-noise (SNR) datasets recorded with a transmission electron microscope. This method improves upon previously test ...

Strategies for Doped Nanocrystalline Silicon Integration in Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antoine Descoeudres, Niels Holm, Martial Duchamp, Stefaan De Wolf, Jonas Geissbühler, Johannes Peter Seif, Simon Hänni, Gizem Nogay, Martin Ledinsky

Carrier collection in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells is usually achieved by doped amorphous silicon layers of a few nanometers, deposited at opposite sides of the crystalline silicon wafer. These layers are often defect-rich, resulting in modest ...

In Situ TEM Analysis of Organic-Inorganic Metal-Halide Perovskite Solar Cells under Electrical Bias

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Martial Duchamp, Jérémie Werner, Björn Niesen

Changes in the nanostructure of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI(3)) perovskite solar cells are assessed as a function of current-voltage stimulus by biasing thin samples in situ in a transmission electron microscope. Various degradation pathways are iden ...

Combined model of non-conformal layer growth for accurate optical simulation of thin-film silicon solar cells

Martial Duchamp, Franz-Josef Haug

In thin-film silicon solar cells textured interfaces are introduced, leading to improved antireflection and light trapping capabilities of the devices. Thin-layers are deposited on surface-textured substrates or superstrates and the texture is translated t ...

Reinforcing multiwall carbon nanotubes by electron beam irradiation

László Forró, Jin Won Seo, Arnaud Magrez, Richard Meunier, Martial Duchamp, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Bo Song, Rita Smajda

We study the effect of electron beam irradiation on the bending modulus of multiwall carbon nanotubes grown by chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy observations of the nanotube deflection in the suspended-beam geometry suggest an internal, re ...
