Nanostructured Materials for Solar Energy Conversion

Nanostructured Materials for Solar Energy. Conversion covers a wide range of materials. This book deals with basic semiconductor physics, modeling solar cells, nanostructure of solar cells, silicon, CIS and CdTe, dye-sensitized solar cell, organic solar cell, photosynthetic materials, fullerene, ultra thin absorber (ETA) solar cell , quantum structured solar cell, intermediate band solar cell, carbon nanotube, etc. including basic principle and the latest results. There are many books written on the pn junction solar cells, but a few books focus on this concept.
