Deb, S K

Papers are presented in the areas of silicon and nonsilicon photovoltaic solar cells, and photovoltaic concentrator solar cells based on electro-optical components and the use of electro-optical techniques in the characterization of photovoltaic solar cells. Specific topics include photovoltaic loss mechanisms due to defects and grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon, minority carrier diffusion lengths and absorption coefficients in silicon sheet material, the quality factor of N(plus)P silicon solar cells, a thin-film CdS/CuInSe/sub 2/ heterojunction solar cell, the photoelectrochemical corrosion of solar cell semiconductors, luminescent solar concentrators, a gallium arsenide photovoltaic array for solar concentrators, a millimeter-wave Fabry-Perot interferometer for conductivity measurements in thin films, and remote sensing studies of the optical properties of clouds and aerosols.
