For a while now I’ve been dying to share some of the new nanostructures I’ve discovered during ion-assisted vapor deposition of CI(G)S thin films. My paper was published in the Journal of Applied Physics last fall (sorry for the blog outage over the winter-break). The paper is titled: “Nanostructured light-absorbing crystalline CuIn(1–x)GaxSe2 thin films grown through high flux, low energy ion irradiation;” http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4823987. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the work that leaves me dreaming up different solutions to how these films are growing. Read More

LaTeX Tip: NewCommand
For those friends of mine currently attempting to work in LaTeX to code Materials Science and Engineering related tidbits…
Here’s a quick tip. Tired of typing all those crazy math commands for your material’s name? Simply use a new command. Here’s are a couple examples…
%Simpler way of writing CUINSE2: \newcommand{\cis}{CuInSe$_{2}$} %Simpler way of writing CUINGASE2: \newcommand{\cigs}{CuIn$_{(1-x)}$Ga$_{x}$Se$_{2}$} %Simpler way of writing CUGASE2: \newcommand{\cgs}{CuGaSe$_{2}$}
To see how this looks in compiled LaTeX output and another example, click “More”…
