- The rear interface of kesterite absorbers with Mo back contact represents one of the possible sources of nonradiative voltage losses (Delta V-oc,V-nrad) because of the reported decomposition reactions, an uncontrolled growth of MoSe2, or a nonoptimal electrical contact with high recombination. Several intermediate layers (IL), such as MoO3, TiN, and ZnO, have been tested to mitigate these issues, and efficiency improvements have been reported. However, the introduction of IL also triggers other effects such as changes in alkali diffusion, altered morphology, and modifications in the absorber composition, all factors that can also influence Delta V-oc,V-nrad. In this study, the different effects are decoupled by designing a special sample that directly compares four rear structures (SLG, SLG/Mo, SLG/Al2O3, and SLG/Mo/Al2O3) with a Na-doped kesterite absorber optimized for a device efficiency >10%. The IL of choice is Al2O3 because of its reported beneficial effect to reduce the surface recombination velocity at the rear interface of solar cell absorbers. Identical annealing conditions and alkali distribution in the kesterite absorber are preserved, as measured by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The lowest Delta V-oc,V-nrad of 290 mV is measured for kesterite grown on Mo, whereas the kesterite absorber on Al2O3 exhibits higher nonradiative losses up to 350 mV. The anticipated field-effect passivation from Al2O3 at the rear interface could not be observed for the kesterite absorbers prepared by the two-step process, further confirmed by an additional experiment with air annealing. Our results suggest that Mo with an in situ formed MoSe2 remains a suitable back contact for high-efficiency kesterite devices.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An increasing number of cellular congestion controlalgorithms (CCAs) are relying on measurements of the deliveryrate observed at the receiver. Accordingly, early detection ofchanges in the receiver’s rate would improve the performanceof such algorithms. Rate measurements over short time intervalscould allow fast detection of change in the rate observed bythe upper layers of a cellular receiver. However, upper layerrate measurements for cellular receivers over a short time scaleproduce unreliable results due to the effect of underlying lowerlayer mechanisms. In this paper, we introduce a rate estimationapproach that reduces the variability observed in short timescale receiver rate measurements and allows faster rate changedetection.

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With the recent explosion in high-throughput genotyping tech-nology, the amount and quality of SNP data have increased expo-nentially, facilitating the discovery of multiple uncommon SNPs in the human population. To provide unified and centralized resources for the scientific community, several repositories have been devel-oped that aggregate numerous population studies and serve widely as references to filter natural variants in genetic analyses. However, they are largely biased toward European populations. TP53 gene is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer, and pathogenic germline TP53 variants are associated with several cancer suscep-tibility disorders such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. For these reasons, it is essential that TP53 SNPs are rigorously evaluated to avoid misclassifications that could impair patient management. The recent discovery of numerous benign SNPs within the coding region of TP53 can be attributed to surveillance of both global repositories and population-specific databases, with the latter enabling the recognition of additional TP53 SNPs in Japanese, African, and Indian populations. This review summarizes the body of evidence behind the identification of 21 TP53 variants and the information defining them as bona fide SNPs. This illustrates the need to include populations of different ethnic origins in genetic studies and the substantial benefits that can be derived from the information.
