Molecular Layer Deposition: building hybrid materials one layer at at time
September 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As the applications of nanotechnology grow more sophisticated, the controlled deposition of exceedingly thin layers of materials becomes of ever growing importance. A well-known technique called atomic layer deposition (ALD) can meet this challenge quite well for the deposition of thin inorganic oxide films. Using this method, films can be deposited one atomic layer at [...]

Who wants a defective solar cell?
February 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Professor Bruce Clemens and co-workers have shown that the presence of defects in CZTS solar cells brings about an increase in solar cell efficiency, in contrast to the behavior of classic semiconductor materials. This could lead to the developmemt of a commercially-viable solar cell made of earth- abundant raw materials.
