1. III-V Nanowire Solar Cells: Growth and Characterization
Abstract : To mitigate dangerous climate change, a transition to a new and sustainable energy system is needed. In this system, solar energy will need to be a key player. Prices of electricity made from solar cells have declined rapidly over the recent decades, making solar energy competitive in more markets. READ MORE

2. Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires for Solar Cell Applications
Abstract : Nanowires have the ability to absorb light much more efficient than conventional thin film layers. This makes them candidates for the development of new types of solar cells that have higher efficiency and lower material usage than current technologies. READ MORE

3. Single Junction and Tandem Junction Nanowire Solar Cells
Abstract : Solar cells based on silicon are successfully harvesting solar energy in established and increasingly widespread solar panels. However, their efficiency is limited by the Shockley–Queisser limit. For certain applications where high efficiency is the key figure of merit, the use of multi-junction solar cells is desirable.

4. III-V Nanowire Array Solar Cells: Optical and Electrical Modelling
Abstract : This thesis describes optical and electrical modelling of vertically oriented III-V semiconductor nanowire array solar cells (NWASCs).In the optical studies, three-dimensional electromagnetic modelling was carried out with the scattering matrix method and the finite element method.

5. Nanowire devices for X-ray detection
Abstract : High spatial resolution X-ray microscopy has become a dedicated tool to study nanocrystals and nanostructure devices in recent years. In general, the spatial resolution of X-ray microscopy depends on the spot size of the X-ray beam and the pixel size of X-ray detectors. READ MORE
