Dear Raf,
Dear Gina,
I'd be very interested in meeting Prof. Mitzi, either 2:15 or 3pm would work for
me.
I'm a postdoc in V. Bulovic's group and I'm part of the gridedge solar cell
effort.
Let me know if this works out!
Best,
Deniz

Dear Colleagues,
Tomorrow (Thursday) I have the pleasure of hosting Prof. David Mitzi from Duke University
(formerly IBM), who will give a CMSE seminar. There have been two late cancellations, so
he now has available meeting slots at 2:15 and 3p. If anyone would like to meet with Prof.
Mitzi, please reply to Gina Granzetta (cc'd here).
I hope to see you at his seminar!
Best,
Raf

Good afternoon,
For those of you who are not already scheduled to meet with visiting speaker, Prof. David
Mitzi from Duke University, next Thursday, there are still two spaces available to meet
with him. At your earliest convenience, please share with me which of the following times
you wish to be scheduled with him: Thursday, February 23: 11:15 or 2:15?
Please find information on his talk below.
Thank you,
Gina

"Search for High-Performance Earth-Abundant Thin-Film Photovoltaic Materials"
Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices offer the prospect of lower-cost manufacturing coupled
with high power conversion efficiency, thereby providing a pathway to cost-competitive
solar energy. Currently, the fastest growing commercial thin-film PV technologies rely on
direct bandgap chalcogenide semiconductors CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS), with
cumulatively >15GW of capacity manufactured. In order to overcome prospective
scalability issues related to elemental scarcity (Te, In) and/or heavy-metal toxicity (Cd)
with these systems, this talk will present recent progress on alternative predominantly
chalcogenide-based systems, including zinc-blende-related Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe), with
abundant Zn/Sn replacing In/Ga, and more recent candidates, Cu2(Ba,Sr)Sn(S,Se)4 and the
perovskite (Ba,Sr)Zr(S,Se)3. If desirable electronic structure tunability associated with
the multi-element stoichiometry (e.g., bandgap control using S:Se ratio) can be combined
with control over disorder and defect formation in these complex systems, multinary
chalcogenide semiconductors will offer a bright path forward in the quest for
high-performance, low-cost and scalable PV technologies.
