CSP - The Twenty-sixth (2016) International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference

Abstract

The Twenty-sixth (2016) International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference:Technical: UCA has one of the top electron microscopy facilities in the world. As a complement, the team has developed computational models that allow for the simulation of millions of atoms, which allow propoer interpretation of the microscopy results (HAADF-STEM) that are critical to the project. These capabilities will allow NRL to study the nucleation and growth kinetics of advanced III-V semiconductors for high-efficiency photovoltaic and sensor applications (specifically, space-based PVs). b. Relevance: High-efficiency photovoltaics have a number of DOD-relevant applications, including space-power, alternative/mobile energy and sensors. c. Coordination: This project will develop a strong collaboration with the semiconductor device group at NRl under Dr. Rob Walters as well as at AFRL. d. Outcome: Characterization of nucleation and growth of III-V semiconductors to allow for optimal efficiency photovoltaics.
