The study demonstrates how a low-power continuous-wave laser can trap and manipulate vapor bubbles in liquids using the Marangoni effect, which involves temperature-induced surface tension changes.
Bubbles of varying sizes are created using light-absorbing silver nanoparticles placed on an optical fiber, allowing for control over thermal effects that influence bubble behavior.
Numerical simulations provide models for temperature profiles and Marangoni forces, while experiments with three optical fibers show the ability to transfer bubbles between fibers by sequentially activating their lasers.

The study explored how low-temperature (100 °C) hydrogen glow discharge affects the creation of superficial nanostructures in indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films.
The research identified three key stages in the evolution of these nanostructures—emerging/densification, coalescence, and depletion—using microscopy techniques.
It was found that ITO films on flexible substrates like polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) produced nanostructures with a uniform size and density, ranging from 9.5 to 20.7 nm in diameter and up to about 2.66 × 10^-4.20 × 10 SNs cm density.

The study focuses on analyzing the atomic composition of amorphous SiGe:H films created using low-temperature RF plasma discharge.
Researchers investigated how hydrogen dilution affects the ratios of silicon and germanium in these films and noted variations in germanium content based on different hydrogen levels.
Findings reveal that lower hydrogen dilution favors silicon atom termination, while higher levels favor germanium termination, with a balanced bond formation occurring at intermediate dilution rates.

This study explores the use of PEDOT:PSS to enhance charge collection in hybrid solar cells when combined with amorphous silicon materials.
Post-treatment techniques, specifically using isopropyl alcohol, were used to modify the nanostructural characteristics of PEDOT:PSS, improving its interface effectiveness for solar cell applications.
The developed hybrid solar cells showed higher efficiency and transmittance compared to traditional configurations, positioning PEDOT:PSS as a viable alternative for inorganic p-type layers in solar cells.

September 2018

Thin-film hybrid organic-inorganic photovoltaic structures were developed using hydrogenated silicon, PEDOT:PSS polymer, and Al-doped ZnO films on flexible substrates.
The compatibility of these materials and their deposition techniques was validated through morphological and electronic characteristic measurements.
The best performance was achieved with structures on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates, showing a short circuit current density of 9.79 mA/cm² and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.3%.
