New! NSF Renewable Energy Center (pdf brochure)Joe Beach
Solar photovoltaic electricity generation. He currently is working on ways to improve the efficiency of thin film CdTe cells.
Reuben T. Collins
Condensed matter physics semiconductor science; electronic and optical properties; photovoltaic materials and devices.
Tim Coutts
Is a Research Fellow at NREL where he studies how to improve the transmittance and conductivity of n-type transparent
conducting oxides. This involves novel characterization methods as well as theoretical studies. Also works on the development of p-ZnO by various deposition techniques. Involved in modeling and development of tandem thin-film solar cells.
Timothy R. Ohno
Surface physics; thin film epitaxial growth; interfacial properties; photovoltaic
materials; catalysis.
Fred Seymour
Electrical and optical characterization as well as the fabrication of polycrystalline
thin film CdTe PV solar cell devices.
Craig Taylor
Optical, electronic and structural properties of crystalline and amorphous
semiconductors; localized electronic states in amorphous semiconductors; electronic
instabilities in films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and related alloys;
electronic properties of III-V semiconducting nanostructures; ordering in ternary
III-V alloys.
