Magnetic fingerprints of interface defects in silicon solar cells detected

Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - 10:20 in Physics & Chemistry

Using a highly sensitive method of measurement, physicists have managed to localize defects in amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Now, for the first time ever, using computer simulations, the scientists were able to determine the defects' exact locations and assign them to certain structures within the interface between the amorphous and crystalline phases.
