Zinc oxide is often used as the transparent conductive layer in thin-film solar cells. In thin-film silicon solar cells the ZnO layer is additionally used as a source of light trapping; light scattering features can be introduced by sputter deposition and etching of ZnO in a dilute HCl solution. [...]

The texture of the transparent front contact is of major importance with respect to the optical performance of a thin-film silicon solar cell. In this study we address the method of angular resolved scattering as a tool to characterize the transparent conductive oxide surface texture. [...]

This paper describes current aspects related to German on-site spent fuel dry storage facilities (SFSFs) with regard to Germany’s energy transition. The last nuclear reactor will be disconnectedfrom the power grid in 2022. [...]

Due to Germany’s phase out of nuclear energy production, discussion on current and future inspection regimes for long term spent fuel storage facilities (SFSFs) with static inventory has revived recently. Incurrent practice, in some States, randomly scheduled inspections (RSIs) of SFSFs are performed such that in each year any particular SFSF of the State is selected for RSIs with a required selection probabilityof (say) 20%. [...]

Die Wissenschaft erlebt durch die Informationstechnologie einen ihrer größten Umbrüche. Doch obwohl Computer und Netzwerke seit Jahrzehnten zum Forschungsalltag gehören, ist der Grad der Digitalisierung in den meisten Fachdisziplinen noch unzureichend. [...]

Laser-driven particle acceleration has undergone impressive progress in recent years. Nevertheless, one unexplored issue is how the particle spins are influenced by the huge magnetic fields inherently present in the plasmas. [...]
