Nanostructure of a-Si:H and Related Alloys by Small-Angle Scattering of Neutrons and X-Rays. Final Technical Progrss Report 22 May 1998-15 October 2001

摘要

This final report presents results and conclusions of Phases 1, 2, and 3 research performed from May 22, 1998 to October 15, 2001 under a cost-reimbursable subcontract from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy operated by Midwest Research Institute) to the Colorado School of Mines (subcontract number XAK-8-17619-31 to the prime contract DE-AC36-83CH10093). Due to a contract extension, this report covers the above period of more than three calendar years. The research was carried out under the direction of Don L. Williamson, Professor of Physics. Materials characterization, including small-angle x-ray scattering and x-ray diffraction, was carried out in the Physics Department of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM). In addition, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was carried out at the NIST Center for Neutron Research and anomalous small-angle x-ray scattering (ASAXS) was performed by a collaborator (G. Goerigk) at the German synchrotron, DESY.
