2023 02 Receiving New Grant from CTAC
Dr. Yoon’s proposal has been selected for a new grant as part of the Cadmium Telluride Accelerator Consortium (CTAC). This project will be performed in close collaboration with the CATC research teams, including the National Renewable Research Laboratory (NREL), First Solar, the University of Toledo (PVIC), and many others. We are thrilled to work on this project.
2023 02 Etee and Ashif’s Work Submitted to EMC
Two EMC papers have been submitted by Etee and Ashif. Look forward to giving presentations at the Electronic Materials Conference (https://www.mrs.org/65th-emc).
2023 01 Submission of Two PVSC Manuscripts
Two PVSC manuscripts have been submitted.
- CdTe solar cells (collaboration: First Solar)
- Nanoscale optoelectronic measurements of polycrystalline thin-film semiconductors
2023 01 Submit a journal publication on Metal-Halide Perovskites
Yu-Lin and Ashif’s manuscript has been submitted for a journal publication. This paper describes the impact of the Ar-ion beam on the subsurface of metal-halide perovskites.
2022 11 Group Lunch (Thanksgiving Week)
We are grateful to have talented group members who are also generous and kind in helping each other. We look forward to seeing the growth of our team next year. (left to clockwise: Etee, Dr. Yoon, Josh, Ashif, Ashraful, and Aaron)
2022 10 Dr. Yoon gives a talk at the 6th CdTe Workshop.
Our recent results on CdTe solar cells (group-V, Cu-doped CST absorbers) were shared at the 6th CdTe workshop. Etee Kawna Roy primarily leads this work. The microcontact approach complements diverse group efforts in the CTAC (Cadmium Telluride Accelerator Consortium; https://www.usa-cdte.org/). We thank our collaborator (First Solar, NREL) for sharing the high-quality CdTe samples.
2022 09 Yoon’s group stories in the COE report
Dr. Yoon and her group’s stories have been shared in the College of Engineering (COE) annual report (here). This article focuses on the projects of solar cells.
We strive to utilize solar energy to meet the rapidly-growing social demands for energy. Our research builds on the fundamental understanding of photocarrier transport at the nano/microscale. We are expanding our efforts to terrestrial and space PV applications.
2022 08 Ashraful joins the team.
We are happy to have a new Ph.D. student, Ashraful Mamum. Ashraful will focus on projects related to light interaction with thin-film semiconductors. Welcome, Ashraful!
2022 07 Welcome Josh!
We warmly welcome Josh Miraglia, who will be working with us as an RA. Josh has studied both Physics and ECE. He has many years in IT, particularly Linux-based systems. Welcome, Josh!
