AbstractHonsberg 05090001This proposal requests support for dissertation enhancement research by Michael Levy, student of Dr. Christina Honsberg, at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Mr. Levy plans to work with Professors Antonio Luque and Antonio Marti at the Instituto de Energia Solar at the University of Madrid, in Spain, headed by Professor Luque. Scientific Merit. The focus of the proposed work is to develop realistic band structure and transport models for solar cells that include quantum wells and quantum dots and apply these to quantum-dot intermediate band solar cells. The purpose of the work is to advance the theory of quantum-dot devices and identification of suitable material technologies.Broader Impact. The development of improved performance photovoltaics underpins many critical applications of photovoltaics. For example, high-efficiency photovoltaics are presently required on satellite applications spanning communications, security, and navigation. The environmental benefits and the ability of photovoltaics to provide low-cost electricity requires substantially increasing efficiency or developing new lower cost approaches that allow moderate efficiency. Quantum dot devices have been demonstrated using low lost growth and materials.

佐治亚理工学院的Christina Honsberg博士迈克尔·列维（Michael Levy）的学生迈克尔·利维（Michael Levy）的摘要提案提案要求支持论文增强研究。 Levy先生计划在西班牙马德里大学的Solar Instituto de Energia Solar与Antonio Luque教授和Antonio Marti合作，由Luque教授领导。科学功绩。 拟议工作的重点是开发包括量子井和量子点的太阳能电池的现实带结构和传输模型，并将其应用于量子点中间带太阳能电池。 这项工作的目的是推进量子点设备的理论和合适材料技术的识别。 改进的性能光伏的发展是光伏的许多关键应用。 例如，目前需要高效光伏的卫星应用程序，涵盖通信，安全性和导航。 环境益处和光伏能够提供低成本电力的能力需要大大提高效率或开发新的低成本方法，从而使效率适中。 使用低生长和材料降低，已经证明了量子点设备。
