Description
This first comprehensive reference to cover the entire field in a consistent and balanced way is systematically modular in structure, offering a topic matrix by type of material and research stages from fundamentals and material synthesis to device qualification, mass production and recycling. The handbook includes all important photovoltaic materials, with the chapters kept uniformly short to allow readers to concentrate on just those subtopics of particular interest.
Divided into seven volumes, the first covers the fundamentals, while volumes 2 and 3 go on to look at bulk solar cells. The following three volumes investigate thin film solar cells, and the final volume covers systems and applications.

Person
Martin Stutzmann studied Physics in Germany and France at the Universities of Marburg and Paris VII. He received his PhD in 1983 after spending a year as a research fellow at Stanford University, USA. Following a Postdoc position at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, he became a permanent senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. Since 1993 he holds the Chair for Semiconductor Physics at the Walter Schottky Institute in Munich. Martin Stutzmann is author or coauthor of more than 500 scientific articles, Editor-in-Chief of physica status solidi, recipient of the Walter Schottky Prize of the German Physical Society, and Fellow of the American Physical Society.
