Doctoral position in Physics within synthesis and characterization of nanowire based solar cells
The PhD project’s focus is based on basic materials physics to further develop and improve the synthesis, processing, and characterization of nanowire-based tandem solar cells. Triple bandgap wires have recently been demonstrated and now the challenge is to realize functioning solar cells that cover square centimeter large areas and have high efficiency. Modeling shows that the structure now obtained can achieve 47% efficiency, which remains to be shown. The nanowires can be used for flexible super-thin solar cells, which will be studied and developed.
We offer a fully funded position in a vibrant research environment with access to a wide range of state-of-the-art capabilities for nanofabrication.
Supervisor: Magnus Borgström, Professor at Solid State Physics
Application deadline: 09 February 2023
