Crystalline Silicon Absorption

This lecture covers the properties of large area electronic materials, focusing on crystalline silicon absorbers used in solar cells. It discusses various types of absorbers, such as C-Si, CIGS, CdTe, and more, along with their absorption coefficients and dispersion effects. The lecture also delves into absorption mechanisms in semiconductors, direct and indirect absorption processes, and the importance of absorption coefficient in determining the efficiency of solar cells.
