    Efficiency Of Thin Film Solar Cells

    How does the efficiency of a Thin Film solar cell compare to the efficiency of a single crystal solar cell with reference to the 5 main solar cell parameters ( Iopt , Rs, Rsh, Is and n )? I know series resistance( Rs ) will probably increase in thin film cells because of grain boundaries...

    Solving the general Schodinger equation

    I think I have to find a way of getting values of R because I need to substitute them in equation 11 in order to get the value of psi.I really still don't understand what's going on in this question.If I need to evolve psi(x,0) then that means I will have to plot psi(x,0), psi(x,0.5) and...

    Schools Foreign born Ph.D's in the US universities

    Zz is right, a postdoc doesn't help you get permanent residency, all it does is give you 2 more years to stay in the USA and look for jobs.It is almost impossible to get a job whilst outside the states. I'm only in my first year of university now but I've been researching on ways of getting...

    Why have two inverters in series?

    I was looking at the datasheet for the 74HCT139 and noticed that it's logic diagram consists of inverters in series, why is this? Aren't two logical inversions equivalent to no logical inversion at all? Datasheet(pg 4) : http://lbk.fe.uni-lj.si/pdfs/PV-IC-datasheet/74HC139.pdf

    Programs What Are the Entry Requirements for a UK Master's Degree in Physics?

    This link might be useful. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=431431 It is highly unlikely that you will get rejected by all those universities - unless, of course, your first class degree does not conform with Bologna process standards.
