2
Solar Cells
Simulations and calculations oflight trapping in
nanostructuredultra-thin Si solar cells
3
Thin Films
Matlab simulation of thin film growth -
interaction of deposited atoms with dislocation
stress fields (we have the dislocation part
already)
4
Laser Pwr Supply
Fixing / re-engineering / building a pulsed power
supply for a high-powered laser to give tunable
ns pulses
5
Laser Simulation
Matlab simulation of 1D laser-solid interactions
- we have this partially done, need to integrate
optical model with heat flow routine
6
Laser Simulation
COMSOL simulations of 3D laser interactions with
polycrystalline semiconductors
7
Plasmonic Oscillators
COMSOL simulations of plasmonic phase-change
oscillators
8
Solar Cells
Building a system and protocols for measuring
resistivity vs. temperature for thin film solar
materials (hardware Labview)
9
Photoluminescence
Building a photoluminescence system (hardware
Labview)
10
Data Analysis
Data analysis for admittance spectroscopy
11
Solar Cells
Simulation of operation of thin film solar cells
incorporating Cu2ZnSnS4 (electrostatics, CV, I-V)
12
LabView
Other hardware Labview integration projects to
implement optoelectronic characterization
techniques
13
Schrodinger Eqn
Simulations of semiconductor band structures and
vibrational modes (solving Schrodinger equation
for 3D crystals using modern ab-initio packages
14
Solar Cells
Characterize solar cells on the AM1.5 and IQE and
then follow up with detailed electrical studies
aiming to elucidate defect states
15
Thermal Evaporator
Building up, testing, and using a thermal
evaporator to deposit thin layers of sulfur and
selenium for improving the quality of Cu2ZnSnS4
solar cells - could use 2 students.
