Second Edition
By
Stephen Fonash, Kunkle Chair Professor of Engineering Sciences and Director of the Center for Nanotechnology Education & Utilization, The Pennsylvania State University
Description
There has been an enormous infusion of new ideas in the field of solar cells over the last 15 years; discourse on energy transfer has
gotten much richer, and nanostructures and nanomaterials have revolutionized the possibilities for new technological developments. However,
solar energy cannot become ubiquitous in the world's power markets unless it can become economically competitive with legacy generation
methods such as fossil fuels.
The new edition of Dr. Stephen Fonash's definitive text points the way toward greater efficiency and
cheaper production by adding coverage of cutting-edge topics in plasmonics, multi-exiton generation processes, nanostructures and nanomaterials
such as quantum dots. The book's new structure improves readability by shifting many detailed equations to appendices, and balances the
first edition's semiconductor coverage with an emphasis on thin-films. Further, it now demonstrates physical principles with simulations
in the well-known AMPS computer code developed by the author.
Audience
Engineering professionals, researchers and students developing & implementing solar technologies in government and private labs, leading
universities, major corporations and small start-ups. Includes Civil, Environmental, Energy and Materials Engineers.
