MODELING OF SOLAR CELLS BASED ON QUANTUM POINTS AND ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTORS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Province of Granada (NUTS ES614); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 23,958; EU co-financing EUR 19,166.4 (co-financing rate 80%), as stated by the source. Runs 2014-01-01 to 2016-12-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): WE PROPOSE TO SIMULATE AND MODEL RELEVANT PHYSICAL MECHANISMS IN TWO TYPES OF EMERGING SOLAR CELLS: SYSTEMS WITH QUANTUM POINTS AND ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTORS. THIS RESEARCH IS PART OF ONE OF TODAY’S GREAT CHALLENGES, THE SUBJECT OF THIS CALL: OBTAINING SAFE, SUSTAINABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY. THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY INDICATES THE NEED TO GENERATE THE KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY NEEDED TO USE SOLAR ENERGY MORE EFFICIENTLY1. IN PARTICULAR, SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY SHOULD BE DRIVEN IN THE MEDIUM TERM WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING ADVANCED ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SOLAR CELLS. THE FIRST, VERY LOW COST MAKES THEM SUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS IN WHICH A HIGH POWER IS NOT REQUIRED. For the SECOND, ULTRAEFICIENT SOLAR CELLS WITH ACTIVE CAPS OF NANOMETRIC MATERIALS TO PROVELOP ALL THE SOLAR SPECTER. The SIMULACATION OF ELECTRONIC DISPOSITIVES SPORTS OBVIAS AS PREVIOUS PAYMENT TO THE FABRICATION are required. FOR SIMULATION RESULTS TO BE TRULY USEFUL AND PREDICTIVE, THE USE OF APPROPRIATE MODELS IS ESSENTIAL. OUR TEAM HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE SIMULATION AND MODELING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES. WE HAVE PUBLISHED NUMEROUS ARTICLES IN PRESTIGIOUS JOURNALS ON THE STUDY OF OPTOELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF PERIODIC STRUCTURES OF QUANTUM POINTS AND ON THE MODELING OF ORGANIC DEVICES. WE HAVE HAD RESEARCH CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES IN THE SECTOR TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC SIMULATORS OF SOLAR CELLS. WE MAINTAIN COLLABORATIONS WITH TOP-NOTCH INTERNATIONAL GROUPS: LEEDS UNIVERSITY (UK) AND MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (CANADA). this PROJECT is a NATURAL CONTINUATION OF GROUP RESEARCH. IT CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES: 1) THE SIMULATION AND MODELING OF SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM POINTS OF CDSE, CDTE, PBSE, INAS AND GAAS ANALYSING THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH ISOLATED QUANTUM POINTS AND PERIODIC POINT SYSTEMS. WE WILL OVERCOME THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF EFFECTIVE MASS IN THE STUDY OF QUANTUM MATERIAL, EXPLORING THE ADAPTATION OF ACADEMIC SIMULATORS DEVELOPED BY OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH NETWORKS [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
