Nanostructures in Photovoltaics

Starting from the basic principles of low-dimensional semiconductors, this book develops both the theoretical aspiration and the practical reality of nanostructured photovoltaic devices. Starting from bulk semiconductors, the relative merits of quantum well, nanowire and quantum dot materials as components in phototovoltaic devices are discussed, together with the role plasmonics and organic semiconductors can play in photovoltaic devices.
