Abstract Since publication, it has been brought to the attention of the Editorial Office of Chinese Physics B that parts of this paper showed strong similarities to the following article (including one equation, some analyses, the motivation and the conclusion) without citation: “Detection of Finger Interruptions in Silicon Solar Cells Using Line Scan Photoluminescence Imaging,” IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, 2017, vol. 7, No. 6, pp. 1496-1502. Following our investigation, this article has been retracted by the Editorial Office of Chinese Physics B.
Finger interruptions are common problems in screen printed solar cells, resulting in poor performance in efficiency because of high effective series resistance. Electroluminescence (EL) imaging is typically used to identify interrupted fingers. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative method based on photoluminescence (PL) imaging to identify local series resistance defects, with a particular focus on finger interruptions. Ability to detect finger interruptions by using PL imaging under current extraction is analyzed and verified. The influences of external bias control and illumination intensity on PL images are then studied in detail. Finally, in comparison with EL imaging, the using of PL imaging to identify finger interruptions possesses the prominent advantages:in PL images, regions affected by interrupted fingers show higher luminescence intensity, while regions affected by recombination defects show lower luminescence intensity. This inverse signal contrast allows PL imaging to more accurately identify the defect types.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
