| Abstract |
The miniaturization of electronic devices, in combination with the advance in computer hardware and simulation methods, has brought in sight the possibility to simulate electronic devices with atomic resolution. The goal of this proposal is to generate atomic configurations of a-Si solar cells, possibly with nano- or protocrystalline grains. Such an 'in silico device' allows the study of the effects that small structural changes have on electronic properties, and ultimately may be a valuable tool to obtain improved device properties. |
