Book Description
This book provides a basic understanding of spectroscopic ellipsometry, with a focus on characterization methods of a broad range of solar cell materials/devices, from traditional solar cell materials (Si, CuInGaSe2, and CdTe) to more advanced emerging materials (Cu2ZnSnSe4, organics, and hybrid perovskites), fulfilling a critical need in the photovoltaic community. The book describes optical constants of a variety of semiconductor light absorbers, transparent conductive oxides and metals that are vital for the interpretation of solar cell characteristics and device simulations. It is divided into four parts: fundamental principles of ellipsometry; characterization of solar cell materials/structures; ellipsometry applications including optical simulations of solar cell devices and online monitoring of film processing; and the optical constants of solar cell component layers.

Thin-Film Compound Semiconductor Photovoltaics - 2009: Volume 1165
Author: Akira Yamada
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781605111384
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Due to increased urgency for alternative energy sources, and because of significant advances in the understanding of materials and devices, thin-film photovoltaics are currently a topic of great importance and are leading candidates for providing affordable energy. This book offers the latest research, scale-up and commercialization advances in the field, focusing on a variety of different and novel materials classes for absorbers and contacts. There is a strong emphasis on future developments of thin-film solar cells, as well as materials issues in scaling up to gigawatt production levels. For the first time, thin-film compound semiconductor photovoltiacs are entering large-scale manufacture and this book reflects the enthusiasm of the materials research community to take on the challenges that this technology will likely see. Topics include: characterization of absorber materials; materials deposition and process monitoring; device modeling and characterization; new materials and devices; grain boundaries and TCOs; commercialization issues; and advanced devices and materials characterization.

Materials and Strategies for Lab-on-a-Chip - Biological Analysis, Cell-Material Interfaces and Fluidic Assembly of Nanostructures: Volume 1191
Author: Sashi K. Murthy
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781605111643
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The development of miniaturized systems for chemical and biochemical analysis has grown to the point where lab-on-a-chip devices are now important enabling tools in a diverse array of application areas. As the size of these systems continues to shrink, details of the micro- and nanoscale phenomena associated with their construction and operation must be considered. This book focuses on materials and engineering aspects of lab-on-a-chip devices and the application of microfluidics to materials synthesis. A microfabricated fluidic system integrating biological sample treatment and detection on a single chip offers the promise of low-cost, rapid and high-performance analysis. These devices can perform high-throughput biochemical assays for drug discovery and provide portability for point-of-care diagnostics and biothreat monitoring. Topics include: frontiers in lab-on-a-chip research; materials for lab-on-a-chip; materials synthesis on chip; cell manipulation and biomimetics on chip; porous materials in lab-on-a-chip; sensing and detection on chip - molecular level; sensing and detecting on chip - cells and particles; and sensing and detection on chip - DNA.
