120 Engineering (Hammond Auditorium)

Following an introduction summarizing the recent growth and favorable econom-ics of photovoltaic-generated electricity, the talk will describe the evolving struc-ture of thin-film solar cells based on CdTe and its alloys. The primary focus will be on recent contributions to solar-cell performance from the Colorado State pro-gram, and the talk will present experimental data in the context of the band-diagram features that have facilitated the progress towards higher efficiencies.[Read more…]
