Durability and Reliability of Polymers and Other Materials in Photovoltaic Modules describes the durability and reliability behavior of polymers used in Si-photovoltaic modules and systems, particularly in terms of physical aging and degradation process/mechanisms, characterization methods, accelerated exposure chamber and testing, module level testing, and service life prediction. The book compares polymeric materials to traditional materials used in solar applications, explaining the degradation pathways of the different elements of a photovoltaic module, including encapsulant, front sheet, back sheet, wires and connectors, adhesives, sealants, and more. In addition, users will find sections on the tests needed for the evaluation of polymer degradation and aging, as well as accelerated tests to aid in materials selection. As demand for photovoltaics continues to grow globally, with polymer photovoltaics offering significantly lower production costs compared to earlier approaches, this book will serve as a welcome resource on new avenues.

In the past decades, children of immigrants have drawn increased attention not only in press and media, but also in a number of academic fields, among them sociology, history, or ethnology. Surprisingly, literary and cultural studies have been somewhat more reluctant to approach the topic. While there is work on individual authors or, at the very most, particular ethnic groups, comparative approaches are rare. This monograph aims to amend this. It provides an extensive discussion of US-American literature about children of immigrants, comparing different authors, different ethnic groups and different literary and historical contexts.

This book delves into the practical applications of perovskite materials in optoelectronics, covering solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, neuromorphic devices, lasers, and X-ray detectors in various forms including bulk, two-dimensional (2D), and zero-dimensional (0D). It addresses the pressing need for scalable fabrication processes, performance optimization, and stability concerns associated with perovskite-based devices. With a detailed examination of fundamental properties and challenges, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for scientists, technologists, and engineers involved in developing and optimizing perovskite-based optoelectronic devices for commercialization. Furthermore, it fills a significant gap in the literature by providing in-depth coverage of perovskite solar cells and other emerging optoelectronic technologies, making it an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in materials and device physics.
