In March 1933 the economic section of the Soviet secret police arrested six British engineers employed by the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Company, provoking a confrontation that brought Anglo-Soviet relations to the brink of disaster. In this first full-length study of the M…
Discusses the use of photonic and plasmonic effects for light trapping in solar cells. This book compares and contrasts texturing, the method of light-trapping design in solar cells, with emerging approaches employing photonic and plasmonic phenomena.
New Approaches to Light Trapping in Solar Cell Devices discusses in detail the use of photonic and plasmonic effects for light trapping in solar cells. It compares and contrasts texturing, the current method of light-trapping design in solar cells, with emerging approaches emplo…
