Although citrus trees are considered relatively salt-sensitive, there are consistent differences in Na and Cl tolerance among different citrus rootstocks. We grew uniform seedlings of rough lemon (RL) and the more Na-tolerant Swingle citrumelo (SC) with and without 50 mM NaCl for 42 days. Salinity reduced leaf chlorophyll and plant transpiration rate (Ep) more in RL than SC. Confocal laser scan...

•Cu deficiency suppresses the bulk recombination losses•Theoretical understanding of defects and its relation to antisite defects•Effective interface passivation using Zn(O,S) buffer layer•High power conversion efficiency from non-toxic H2S-free Cd-free process Cu(In,Ga)S2 is a high-potential material for usage in tandem solar cells; however, has remained limited so far. High losses both accoun...

The Bay Area Photovoltaic Consortium (BAPVC) is conceived to create a vibrant forum for interaction among Photovoltaic (PV) industry and academic experts to address the critical challenges in converting the U.S. leadership in PV R&D into leadership in PV Manufacturing. The U.S. faces substantial challenges in building such a PV manufacturing base as many of our competitors benefit from fewer ma...
