    A laboratory type CVD reactor system with a vertical deposition chamber and sample pedestal heated by an external RF coil has been extensively modified by installation of mass flow controllers, automatic process sequence timers, and special bellows-sealed air-operated valves for overall improved performance. Various film characterization procedures, including classical metallography, SEM analyses, X ray diffraction analyses, surface profilometry, and electrical measurements (resistivity, carrier concentration, mobility, spreading resistance profiles, and minority-carrier lifetime by the C-V-t method) area used to correlate Si sheet properties with CVD parameters and substrate properties. Evaluation procedures and measurements are given. Experimental solar cell structures were made both in epitaxial Si sheet (on sapphire substrates) and in polycrystalline material on alumina substrates, the former to provide an indication of what might be an upper limit on performance of the latter. Preliminary results are given, as obtained in cell structures not specially designed to allow for the unique properties of the sheet material, and fabricated in material known to be far from optimum for photovoltaic performance. Low power conversion efficiencies have been obtained in the epitaxial as well as the polycrystalline Si sheet

    A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor system with a vertical deposition chamber was used for the growth of Si films on glass, glass-ceramic, and polycrystalline ceramic substrates. Silicon vapor was produced by pyrolysis of SiH4 in a H2 or He carrier gas. Preliminary deposition experiments with two of the available glasses were not encouraging. Moderately encouraging results, however, were obtained with fired polycrystalline alumina substrates, which were used for Si deposition at temperatures above 1,000 C. The surfaces of both the substrates and the films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, reflection electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy optical microscopy, and surface profilometric techniques. Several experiments were conducted to establish baseline performance data for the reactor system, including temperature distributions on the sample pedestal, effects of carrier gas flow rate on temperature and film thickness, and Si film growth rate as a function of temperature

    The objective was to investigate and develop chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques for the growth of large areas of Si sheet on inexpensive substrate materials, with resulting sheet properties suitable for fabricating solar cells that would meet the technical goals of the Low Cost Silicon Solar Array Project. The program involved six main technical tasks: (1) modification and test of an existing vertical-chamber CVD reactor system; (2) identification and/or development of suitable inexpensive substrate materials; (3) experimental investigation of CVD process parameters using various candidate substrate materials; (4) preparation of Si sheet samples for various special studies, including solar cell fabrication; (5) evaluation of the properties of the Si sheet material produced by the CVD process; and (6) fabrication and evaluation of experimental solar cell structures, using impurity diffusion and other standard and near-standard processing techniques supplemented late in the program by the in situ CVD growth of n(+)/p/p(+) sheet structures subsequently processed into experimental cells

    Astrophel And Stella: Sir Philip Sidney's Didactic Intent

    Poesy...is an art of imitation, for so Aristotle termeth it in the word "Mimesis”—that is to say, a representing, counterfeiting, or figuring forih —to speak metaphorically, a speaking picture— with this end, to teach and delight. The above quotation from Sir Philip Sidney's Defense of Poesy expresses well his intentions for writing the sonnet sequence Astrophel and Stella. In this lengthy series of poems, Sidney satisfies his characteristics of poetry—a representation of a real-life situation which both instructs and delights. The situation is that of a Renaissance lover caught between reason and passion; the delight arises in Sidney's masterful use of the sonnet But the real art of the sequence, and the area of concern in this paper, is the instructive aspect. Sidney's story of Astrophel and Stella instructs us in the philosophy of Christian Neoplatonism. By introducing us to Astrophel»s conflict of reason and passion, his deliberate choice of the latter, and the consequences of such a decision, Sidney has outlined an entire lesson. As we witness Astrophel's failure and the suffering which results from it, we realize the truth behind those Neoplatonic conventions which Astrophel had rejected. Sidney has succeeded in his intent to teach through poetry. What follows, then, is a study of the didactic aspect of Astrophel and Stella as examined under Christian Neoplatonism. The Neoplatonism referred to is that particular form presented by Marsilio Ficino and Baldassare Castiglione, With which I will attempt to familiarize the reader in the first chapter. In Chapter Two, I hope to show how Astrophel, in the earlier sonnets, struggles for Ideal Love in the true Neoplatonic sense. Chapter Three will analyze Astrophel's rejection of Neoplatonic conventions and the suffering he consequently undergoes. Chapter Four will clarify my particular interpretation of Astrophel and Stella as opposed to that of other critics.Poesy...is an art of imitation, for so Aristotle termeth it in the word "Mimesis”—that is to say, a representing, counterfeiting, or figuring forih —to speak metaphorically, a speaking picture— with this end, to teach and delight.

    For Americans of Arab descent, identity can present a number of difficulties to define within the existing ethnic and racial categories of the United States. While several scholars have looked at the ways that Muslims American of Arab descent navigate these categories, less attention has been paid to the complex self-identification Christian Arab Americans, many of whom come from Lebanese and Syrian backgrounds. It is the objective of this thesis to explore how Americans of Syrian and Lebanese descent understand their ethnic, racial, cultural, and national identities as well as how these identities both inform and are informed by religion. In this vein, this project analyzes fifty-eight video recorded oral histories from the Arab American National Museum, located in Houston, Texas. I argue that for Americans of Syrian and Lebanese descent who have been in the southern United States for several generations, expressions of their ethnic identity (e.g. Lebanese, Syrian, Arab) are inextricably entangled with expressions of their religious identity as Christian. Therefore, in contrast to previous research which shows trends among Muslims Arab Americans to increasingly identify as “Muslim Americans” (Naber 2012), my research suggests that Christian Arab Americans in the south prioritize their Lebanese, Syrian, and Arab identities – but in a way that covertly smuggles in their faith
