Synthesis, structure, and high-temperature thermoelectric properties of boron-doped Ba_8Al_(14)Si_(31) clathrate I phases
Single crystals of boron-doped Ba_8Al_(14)Si_(31) clathrate I phase were prepared using Al flux growth. The structure and elemental composition of the samples were characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction; elemental analysis; and multinuclear ^(27)Al, ^(11)B, and ^(29)Si solid-state NMR. The samples' compositions of Ba_8B_(0.17)Al_(14)Si_(31), Ba_8B_(0.19)Al_(15)Si_(31), and Ba_8B_(0.32)Al_(14)Si_(310) were consistent with the framework-deficient clathrate I structure Ba_8Al_xSi_(42-3/4x)□_(4-1/4x) (X = 14, □ = lattice defect). Solid-state NMR provides further evidence for boron doped into the framework structure. Temperature-dependent resistivity indicates metallic behavior, and the negative Seebeck coefficient indicates that transport processes are dominated by electrons. Thermal conductivity is low, but not significantly lower than that observed in the undoped Ba_8Al_(14)Si_(31) prepared in the same manner

Significant reduction in arc frequency biased solar cells: Observations, diagnostics, and mitigation technique(s)
A variety of experiments were performed which identify key factors contributing to the arcing of negatively biased high voltage solar cells. These efforts have led to reduction of greater than a factor of 100 in the arc frequency of a single cell following proper remediation procedures. Experiments naturally lead to and focussed on the adhesive/encapsulant that is used to bond the protective cover slip to the solar cell. An image-intensified charge coupled device (CCD) camera system recorded UV emission from arc events which occurred exclusively along the interfacial edge between the cover slip and the solar cell. Microscopic inspection of this interfacial region showed a bead of encapsulant along this entire edge. Elimination of this encapsulant bead reduced the arc frequency by two orders of magnitude. Water contamination was also identified as a key contributor which enhances arcing of the encapsulant bead along the solar cell edge. Spectrally resolved measurements of the observable UV light shows a feature assignable to OH(A-X) electronic emission, which is common for water contaminated discharges. Experiments in which the solar cell temperature was raised to 85 C showed a reduced arcing frequency, suggesting desorption of H2O. Exposing the solar cell to water vapor was shown to increase the arcing frequency. Clean dry gases such as O2, N2, and Ar show no enhancement of the arcing rate. Elimination of the exposed encapsulant eliminates any measurable sensitivity to H2O vapor
