The effect of annealing conditions: temperature, time, ramping rate and atmosphere on nanocrystal Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cell properties (2019)
Journal Article
Altowairqi, Y., Alsubaie, A., Stroh, K., Perez-Marin, I., Bowen, L., Szablewski, M., & Halliday, D. (2019). The effect of annealing conditions: temperature, time, ramping rate and atmosphere on nanocrystal Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cell properties. Materials Today: Proceedings, 18(2), 473-486. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matpr.2019.06.234

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles were fabricated successfully using the hot injection method; CZTS films were deposited by spin coating of nanocrystal ink. The aim of this work is to study the effect of annealing parameters: temperature, time, ramping...

Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aznan, N., Connolly, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2019, May). Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Montreal, Canada

This paper addresses the challenge of humanoid robot teleoperation in a natural indoor environment via a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). We leverage deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based image and signal understanding to facilitate both real-...

Random walk in cooling random environment: ergodic limits and concentration inequalities (2019)
Journal Article
Avena, L., Chino, Y., da Costa, C., & den Hollander, F. (2019). Random walk in cooling random environment: ergodic limits and concentration inequalities. Electronic Journal of Probability, 24, Article 38. https://doi.org/10.1214/19-ejp296

In previous work by Avena and den Hollander [3], a model of a random walk in a dynamic random environment was proposed where the random environment is resampled from a given law along a given sequence of times. In the regime where the increments of t... Read More about Random walk in cooling random environment: ergodic limits and concentration inequalities.

Modelling an optimised thin film solar cell (2019)
Journal Article
Becque, J., & Halliday, D. (2019). Modelling an optimised thin film solar cell. European Journal of Physics, 40(2), Article 025501. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6404/aaf954

A phenomenological model has been developed to simulate the efficiency of thin film solar cells. The model uses key equations for p-n heterojunctions and includes radiative recombination, Auger recombination, Shockley-Read-Hall recombination and surf...
