In this study, we present a new light absorption enhancement method for p-i-n thin film silicon solar cells using pyramidal surface structures, larger than the wavelength of visible light. Calculations show a maximum possible current enhancement of 45% compared with cells on a flat substrate. We deposited …

In this article we investigate the change in wetting behavior of inkjet printed materials on either hydrophilic or hydrophobic plasma treated patterns, to determine the minimum obtainable track width using selective patterned μPlasma printing. For Hexamethyl-Disiloxane (HMDSO)/N2 plasma, a decrease in …

Inkjet printing is a rapidly growing technology for depositing functional materials in the production of organic electronics. Challenges lie among others in the printing of high resolution patterns with high aspect ratio of functional materials to obtain the needed functionality like e.g. conductivity. …

Laboratory research was done on flat glass substrates to study the effect that brine salinity has on adhesion mechanisms between oil and clay particles. This is done by evaporating a small clay suspension droplet (6 ul) on a glass slide that leaves a thin layer of clay upon which oil can be attached. …

The main question this final paper wants to answer is what the opportunities are for Fiber to the Home (FttH) on the Dutch market? In answering this question the Telecompaper report of 2008 and 2009 served as an important source, although 2009 was the main focus since this information was up-to-date. First …

In the Netherlands only few women have top positions in business life. The Dutch Constitution has a Law on Equal Opportunity for men and women, nevertheless there is no equality between men and women when it comes to top positions. Fortunately, because of the women organizations, like Woman Capital, …

A new CPV system with a static linear Fresnel lens, silicon PV module suitable for concentrated radiation and an innovative tracking system is integrated in a greenhouse covering. The basic idea of this horticultural application is to develop a greenhouse for pot plants (typical shadow plants) which …
