APS Physics March Meeting 2016

The meeting will bring together nearly 10,000 physicists, scientists, and students from all over the world to share groundbreaking research from industry, universities, and major labs.

Tutorials are half-day workshops held on the Sunday before the opening of the March Meeting organized by March Meeting Program Chairs. There are five morning and five afternoon tutorials. See complete information about each tutorial, including content description and speakers, below.

Tutorial #2: Probing Photovoltaic Devices with State-of-the-Art Imaging Tools

This tutorial aims at discussing the latest advancements on photovoltaics, including fundamental physical phenomena to advance the understanding of the mesoscale behavior of emerging materials for PV. State-of-the-art, modern tools that are currently used to image photovoltaic devices with unprecedented spatial resolution will be introduced. The series of four lectures will include: (i) a review of the latest advancements of the different PV technologies; (ii) an overview of how wire geometries are implemented as PV devices; (iii) the different probes used to characterize PV materials, including electron beam, X-rays, and near-field scanning optical microscopy, and how they are implemented to provide new information related to the optoelectronic response of the devices; (iv) how sophisticated instrumentation can pave the way for advancing our understanding of light-matter interactions in photovoltaic devices.
