Quantum Dots in III-V Heterojunctions for space solar cells
The talk will focus around the advantages of including quantum dots in the depletion of a Schottky Barrier (SB) structure with a two-fold goal: (a) to provide quantum traps for photo-excited carriers in the depletion region by growing quantum dots at preselected solar wavelength ranges (b) to generate excess thermionically carriers to the conduction band of the semiconductor, leading to current increase.
Biography:
Dr Varonides BS, MS (Phys), PhD (EE) is Professor at the Physics & Engineering Dept, at the University of Scranton. His interests include quantum transport mechanisms in modern nano-devices as implemented in photovoltaics (terrestrial & space) and electronic devices in general. His primary interests circle around modern electronic devices, electromagentics and applied quantum theory. The list of his favorite courses includes quantum mechanics, solid state physics and devices, nanotechnology, applied electromagnetics, plasma physics. Of specific interest to him are 2-D 1-D and 0-D electronic devices and their applications. His current work deals with carrier transport in graphene-based nanodevices such as G-Oxide-Semiconductor Heterojunctions.
