Over the past 15 years, the field of solar cells has seen a massive influx of new ideas; the conversation on energy transfer has become much richer, and nanostructures and nanomaterials have completely changed the potential for new technological advancements. But until solar energy can outcompete more established generating techniques like fossil fuels, it will not be able to replace them as the primary source of electricity in the world's markets. Dr. Stephen Fonash's seminal text has been updated to include cutting-edge topics in plasmonics, multi-exiton generation processes, nanostructures, and nanomaterials like quantum dots. This new edition points the way toward greater efficiency and cheaper production. The book's new organization balances the first edition's semiconductor coverage with a focus on thin-films, and makes the book easier to read by moving many complex equations to appendices. Furthermore, it now uses simulations in the well-known AMPS computer code that the author developed to illustrate physical principles.
