Pursuing high-efficiency photovoltaics with novel alloys

Prof. Kin Man YU published a feature article in Compound semiconductor entitled “Pursuing high-efficiency photovoltaics with novel alloys”.  Compound Semiconductor is a trade magazine widely read by semiconductor researchers and technologists.  The article was written in “not very technical” language for a more general audience,  describing efforts of the authors to realize the novel idea of high efficiency intermediate band solar cells (IBSC) using non-conventional compound semiconductor alloys- the highly mismatched alloys. Experimental demonstration on the working principles of the using dilute GaAsN alloys was presented.
