Book excerpt: "We employ the experimental technique THz Time Domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) to study the optoelectronic properties of potential photovoltaic materials. This all-optical method is useful for probing photoconductivities in a range of materials on ultrafast timescales without the application of physical contacts. Using this technique we study the process of carrier multiplication (CM) - the excitation of multiple charge carriers by a single photon - in indium nitride (InN). InN possesses a number of properties favorable for efficient CM. However, we find that CM in InN is rather inefficient, contributing only to a modest efficiency increase in a potential InN based solar cell. Additionally, we study the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in 2-dimensional graphene with emphasis on the process of multiple hot carrier generation, which is related to carrier multiplication. A very efficient energy transfer from an optically excited charge carrier into multiple hot carriers is shown. We also perform a study of the photoconductivity of two types of 1-dimensional graphene-based semiconductors, flat graphene nanoribbons and carbon nanotubes. Free charge carriers are observed immediately after excitation. The mobility of these carriers is found to vary significantly for the different types of 1-D conductors. The applicability of these graphene based conductors in organic solar cell architectures is briefly discussed. Finally, we explore the carrier transport properties of colloidal TiO2 films commonly used in dye- and quantum dot sensitized solar cells. We find that the photoresponse is dominated by long percolation pathways of connected particles, responsible for the materials long range conductivity."--Samenvatting auteur.
Download or read book Materials Concepts For Solar Cells Second Edition written by Thomas Dittrich and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern challenge is for solar cell materials to enable the highest solar energy conversion efficiencies, at costs as low as possible, and at an energy balance as sustainable as necessary in the future. This textbook explains the principles, concepts and materials used in solar cells. It combines basic knowledge about solar cells and the demanded criteria for the materials with a comprehensive introduction into each of the four classes of materials for solar cells, i.e. solar cells based on crystalline silicon, epitaxial layer systems of III-V semiconductors, thin-film absorbers on foreign substrates, and nano-composite absorbers. In this sense, it bridges a gap between basic literature on the physics of solar cells and books specialized on certain types of solar cells.The last five years had several breakthroughs in photovoltaics and in the research on solar cells and solar cell materials. We consider them in this second edition. For example, the high potential of crystalline silicon with charge-selective hetero-junctions and alkaline treatments of thin-film absorbers, based on chalcopyrite, enabled new records. Research activities were boosted by the class of hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites, a promising newcomer in the field.This is essential reading for students interested in solar cells and materials for solar cells. It encourages students to solve tasks at the end of each chapter. It has been well applied for postgraduate students with background in materials science, engineering, chemistry or physics.

Download or read book Calculations and Simulations of Low Dimensional Materials written by Ying Dai and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calculations and Simulations of Low-Dimensional Materials A comprehensive guide to methods for calculating and simulating the properties of low-dimensional materials Two-dimensional materials are those, such as graphene and 2D oxides, whose thickness is so small as to approach the atomic scale. Potential applications for these materials exist in an enormous range of scientific and industrial fields. A previous era of low-dimensional materials focused on direct experimentation to demonstrate the properties, reactions, and potential applications of these materials; however, in recent years, calculation and simulation have been shown to have considerable predictive power, reducing the period between design and deployment of these potentially critical materials. Calculations and Simulations of Low-Dimensional Materials offers the first comprehensive survey of this exciting new approach to low-dimensional materials. It guides readers through the foundational physics and through a range of calculation and simulation methods, each with different predictive capacities. Mastery of these methods will enable readers to narrowly tailor the properties of particular materials towards real-world applications, providing confidence in the underlying mechanics and in the range of possible outcomes. Calculations and Simulations of Low-Dimensional Materials readers will also find: Broad coverage of material properties, including electronic, spin, magnetic, photonic, optical, electrochemical and transport properties Discussion of potential applications in areas such as electronics, spintronics, and valleytronics Examination of further potential applications regarding quantum Hall phase, photonics, optoelectronics, multiferroic, and photocatalysis Calculations and Simulations of Low-Dimensional Materials is a useful reference for materials scientists, electrochemists, inorganic chemists, physical chemists, photochemists, and the libraries that support these professions.
