Evolution of Splashback Boundaries and Gaseous Outskirts: Insights from Mergers of Self-similar Galaxy Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Congyao Zhang, Irina Zhuravleva, Andrey Kravtsov, Eugene Churazov, | Summary: A self-similar spherical collapse model predicts a dark matter (DM) splashback and accretion shock in the outskirts of galaxy clusters while misses a key ingredient of structure formation – processes associated with mergers. To fill this gap, […]

Impact of Semiconductor Band Tails and Band Filling on Photovoltaic Efficiency Limits

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Joeson Wong, Stefan T. Omelchenko, Harry A. Atwater, , | Summary: The theoretical maximum efficiency of a solar cell is typically characterized by a detailed balance of optical absorption and emission for a semiconductor in the limit of unity radiative efficiency and an ideal step-function response […]
