Apparent bandgap shift in the internal quantum efficiency for solar cells with back reflectors
Here, we demonstrate that in solar cells with highly reflective back mirrors, the measured internal quantum efficiency exhibits a shift in bandgap relative to the measured external quantum efficiency. The shift arises from the fact that the measured reflectance at the front surface includes a superposition of waves reflecting from the front and back surfaces. We quantify the magnitude of the apparent shift and discuss the errors that can result in determination of quantities such as the photocurrent. Because of this apparent shift, it is important that the bandgap be determined from the external quantum efficiency.

DragonView: Toward Understanding Network Interference in Dragonfly-based Supercomputers
Acquiring and maintaining high performance computing systems represents a substantial, long term investment. Therefore, it is paramount to optimize their utilization in order to maximize the return on investment and the impact on science and engineering. In this context, network congestion and inter-job interference are a major challenge as they can lead to significant systemwide performance degregation. This is especially pertinent in shared interconnects such as the dragonfly network, in which resources are shared by multiple jobs. Since many large-scale applications are communication-bound, a few communication heavy applications can have a large impact on the performance of all jobs and decrease the overall system throughput. In this paper, we describe a web-based visual analytics environment to study congestion and inter-job interference on dragonfly networks. The system enables network architects, system administrators and application developers to explore the potential impact of machine configuration, job placement policies and routing algorithms by visualizing and comparing ensembles of simulated workloads and real world data. We focus on the design of the system and describe the challenges, design decisions and the final implementation. Finally, we present two detailed case studies of prototypical analysis sessions by our stakeholders aimed at exploring the implications of different workloads and machine configurations using ensembles of network simulations.
