Predicting solar cell performance from terahertz and microwave spectroscopy

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 07, 2022
The most important properties of a semiconductor to be used as a solar cell include the mobility and lifetime of electrons and “holes”. Both quantities can be measured without contacts with spectroscopic methods using terahertz or microwave radiation. However, measurement data found in literature often differ by orders of magnitude. This has made it difficult to use them for reliable assessments This article was originally published by Solardaily.com. Read the original article here.
