Internship offers 2020
Two internship opportunities are opened for the next year in the Sunlit team, both aiming at the development of cost-effective fabrication processes for III-V solar cells. III-V cells hold efficiency records, however at a prohibitive cost due to the necessity … Continued
Applications are open for the new thematic school on Physics of Solar Cells (2020)
We are organizing a thematic school on “Physics of solar cells: from basic principles to advanced characterization” that will be held at Les Houches (Alps), France, from 1-6 March 2020. Applications must be received by 15 December 2020 (pvschool2020@c2n.upsaclay.fr). After … Continued
Amaury Delamarre, permanent CNRS researcher in the SUNLIT team
We are glad announce that Amaury Delamarre became a permanent CNRS researcher in the SUNLIT team on October 1rst, 2019. After a PhD thesis at IRDEP with Laurent Lombez and Jean-François Guillemoles (now IPVF), and a 4-year postdoc position at … Continued
Welcome to our new PhD students Bérengère and Capucine!
Welcome to our new PhD students Bérengère Frouin and Capucine Tong! They joined the team in early October to work on ultrathin solar cells (Bérengère) and III-V nanowire-based solar cells (Capucine).
Ultrathin solar cells reach 20% efficiency with only 205 nm of GaAs
The SUNLIT team (C2N), in collaboration in particular with researchers at the German Fraunhofer ISE, has succeeded to trap sunlight efficiently in a solar cell thanks to an ultrathin absorbing layer made of 205 nm-thick GaAs on a nanostructured back … Continued
Advances in nanowires for PV
III-V nanowires (NWs) have recently emerged as a promising candidate for the direct growth of perfect III-V crystals on silicon, and open new perspectives for the conception and fabrication of tandem solar cells. The results published in several articles this … Continued
