Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are one of the most promising environmental friendly and low material costs photovoltaic devices. DSCs accomplish the separation of the optical absorption and charge separation processes by the association of a sensitizer ...
Perhaps the largest challenge for our global society is to find ways to replace the slowly but inevitably vanishing fossil fuel supplies by renewable resources and, at the same time, avoid negative effects from the current energy system on climate, environ ...
This thesis investigates amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline (μc-Si:H) solar cells deposited by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) in the n-i-p or substrate configuration. It focuses on processes that allow the us ...
The growth of GaAs nanowires by the gallium-assisted method with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is presented in this review article. The structure of the grown nanowires was investigated by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy as well as Ra ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) constitute a novel class of hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. At the heart of the device is a mesoporous film of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, which are coated with a monolayer of dye sensitive to the visible ...
We investigated the composition and optical properties of GaInAsN/GaAs single quantum wells (QWs) grown on vicinal-(001) GaAs substrates using metallorganic vapor phase epitaxy with modulated nitrogen-precursor flux. A significant enhancement in N incorpor ...
InAs quantum dot arrays are obtained on GaAs nanowire facets by molecular beam epitaxy. The GaAs nanowires are first grown by the gallium-assisted catalyst-free method. Decoration of the nanowire facets with InAs quantum dots is achieved only when the face ...
GaN films epitaxially-grown on M-sapphire may have different orientations, either nonpolar and semipolar. In this paper, the different epitaxial relationships are investigated in details thanks to transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that these re ...
Although in principle very promising, photovoltaic technology has so far failed to deliver robust high efficiency modules at affordable prices. Despite considerable research, high efficiency silicon based cells remain expensive, while the more recent organ ...
GaAs nanowires are grown by molecular beam epitaxy using a self-catalyzed, Ga-assisted growth technique. Position control is achieved by nano-patterning a SiO2 layer with arrays of holes with a hole diameter of 85 nm and a hole pitch varying between 200 nm ...
