Riassunto

The book focuses on advanced characterization methods for thin-film solar cells that have proven their relevance both for academic and corporate photovoltaic research and development. After an introduction to thin-film photovoltaics, highly experienced experts report on device and materials characterization methods such as electroluminescence analysis, capacitance spectroscopy, and various microscopy methods. In the final part of the book simulation techniques are presented which are used for ab-initio calculations of relevant semiconductors and for device simulations in 1D, 2D and 3D.   Building on a proven concept, this new edition also covers thermography, transient optoelectronic methods, and absorption and photocurrent spectroscopy.

L'autore:

Daniel Abou-Ras is senior scientist at the Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy, Germany. He obtained his PhD at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. In 2005, he was awarded the MRS Graduate Student Gold Award at the MRS Spring Meeting. His research interests are scanning as well as transmission electron microscopy techniques applied on thin-film solar cells.

Thomas Kirchartz is scientist at the Institute of Energy at the Research Center Jülich, Germany. He obtained his engineering degree from the University of Stuttgart for a work on the electroluminescence of solar cells in 2006 and his PhD from the RWTH Aachen in 2009 for a work on a detailed balance theory of solar cells.

Uwe Rau is full professor at the Faculty Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the RWTH Aachen, Germany, since 2007 and head of the Institute of Energy at the Research Center Jülich, Germany. He obtained his PhD 1991 from the University Tübingen and was scientific group leader from 1995-2007 at the Universities of Bayreuth and Stuttgart.
