“Errors in reconstruction of dichroic X-ray orientation tomography due to polarization rotation of the incident beam” M. Marcus, H. Heilman, K. Andrle, J. Plumb, J. Synchrotron Rad. (2026) DOI: 10.1107/S1600577525011051. Dichroic X-ray tomography is a technique in which the crystal orientation or magnetization of a sample is resolved in three dimensions. The best-known uses of […]

Semitransparent organic photovoltaics (ST-OPVs) hold promise for agrivoltaics and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) due to the ability to engineer device absorption profiles. While average visible transmittance (AVT) has been used to address BIPV applications, nothing similar has been defined for agrivoltaics. We introduce Average Chlorophyll Transmittance (ACT) to target agrivoltaics applications whose absorbance anticorrelates with photopic […]
Epitaxial growth and structural properties of CoxMnySiz thin films on Ge 111 substrates, including the Heusler alloy Co2 MnSi 111, have been studied using combinatorial molecular beam epitaxy MBE techniques. In situ reflection high energy electron diffraction and ex situ x-ray diffraction experiments show that high quality coherent MBE growth with fcc 111 stacking can […]
The device function of polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells has been commonly interpreted to arise from charge separation at discrete interfaces between phase-separated materials and subsequent charge transport through these phases without consideration of phase purity. To probe composition, the miscibility of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MDMO-PPV) with phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) has been […]
