Workshop: Materials for solar cells beyond Schockely-Queisser

Welcome to the FME SOLAR workshop on Tuesday November 17th at 11:00-15:00

In this hybrid workshop we will get an overview of the work in Norway on solar cell materials research, where the aim is to go beyond the Schockley-Queisser limit. This workshop is a collaboration between FME SOLAR and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) at UiO.
