Research group Schmidt

The AG Schmidt deals with different aspects of photovoltaic materials research, whereby the experimental work is mainly carried out at ISFH. Main topics include research on defects and defect reactions in semiconductors for photovoltaics as well as charge carrier selective coatings for next generation solar cells.
