  abstract     = {{We performed ab initio calculations to study oxygen and hydrogen point defects in the CuInSe2 (CISe) solar-cell material. We found that H interstitial defects (when one H atom is surrounded by four Se atoms) and HCu (when a H atom is replacing a Cu atom) are the most stable defects. Whereas these H substitutional defects remain neutral, H interstitial defects act as donor defects and are detrimental to the cell performance. The incorporation of H2 into the CISe lattice, on the other hand, is harmless to the p-type conductivity. Oxygen atoms tend to either substitute Se atoms in the CISe lattice or form interstitial defects, though the formation of substitutional defects is more favorable. All oxygen point defects have high formation energies, which results in a low concentration of these defects in CISe. However, the presence of oxygen in the system leads to the formation of secondary phases such as In2O3 and InCuO2. In addition to the point defects, we studied the adsorption of H2O molecules on a defect-free surface and a surface with a (2VCu + InCu) defect using the ab initio thermodynamics technique. Our results indicate that the dissociative water adsorption on the CISe surface is energetically unfavorable. Furthermore, in order to obtain a water-free surface, the surface with defects has to be calcined at a higher temperature compared to the defect-free surface.}},

  abstract     = {{In this work, we investigated ternary chalcogenide semiconductors to identify promising p-type transparent conducting materials (TCMs). High-throughput calculations were employed to find the compounds that satisfies our screening criteria. Our screening strategy was based on the size of band gaps, the values of hole effective masses, and p-type dopability. Our search led to the identification of seven promising compounds (IrSbS, Ba2GeSe4, Ba2SiSe4, Ba(BSe3)2, VCu3S4, NbCu3Se4, and CuBS2) as potential TCM candidates. In addition, branch point energy and optical absorption spectra calculations support our findings. Our results open a new direction for the design and development of p-type TCMs.}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Gelled lyotropic liquid crystals can be formed by adding a gelator to a mixture of surfactant and solvent. If the gel network and the liquid-crystalline phase coexist without influencing each other, the self-assembly is called orthogonal. In this study, the influence of the organogelator 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (12-HOA) on the lamellar and hexagonal liquid crystalline phases of the binary system H2O–C12E7 (heptaethylene glycol monododecyl ether) is investigated. More precisely, we added 12-HOA at mass fractions from 0.015 to 0.05 and studied the resulting phase diagram of the system H2O–C12E7 by visual observation of birefringence and by 2H NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the dynamic shear moduli of the samples were measured in order to examine their gel character. The results show that 12-HOA is partly acting as co-surfactant, manifested by the destabilization of the hexagonal phase and the stabilization of the lamellar phase. The higher the total surfactant concentration, the more 12-HOA is incorporated in the surfactant layer. Accordingly, its gelation capacity is substantially reduced in the surfactant solution compared to the system 12-HOA–n-decane, and large amounts of gelator are required for gels to form, especially in the lamellar phase.</jats:p>}},
