This book explores the scientific basis of the photovoltaic effect,
solar cell operation, various types of solar cells, and the main
process used in their manufacture. It addresses a range of topics,
including the production of solar silicon; silicon-based solar
cells and modules; the choice of semiconductor materials and their
production-relevant costs and performance; device structures,
processing, and manufacturing options for the three major thin-film
PV technologies; high-performance approaches for multi-junction,
concentrator, and space applications; and new types of organic
polymer and dye-sensitized solar cells. The book also presents a
concept for overcoming the efficiency limit of today's solar cells.
Accessible for beginners, while also providing detailed information
on the physics and technology for experts, the book is a valuable
resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in
fields such as physics, materials, energy, electrical and
electronic engineering and microelectronics.

Light Alloys: From Traditional Alloys to Nanocrystals, Fifth
Edition, covers the materials science, properties, manufacturing
processes, and applications of key engineering metals in a single
accessible volume. As use of these metals is now more widespread
than ever, with routine use in motor vehicles and aircraft, this
book includes materials characteristics and applications, heat
treatment properties, fabrication, microstructure/property
relationships, new applications, and processes.
Titanium in Medical and Dental Applications is an essential
reference book for those involved in biomedical materials and
advanced metals. Written by well-known experts in the field, it
covers a broad array of titanium uses, including implants,
instruments, devices, the manufacturing processes used to create
them, their properties, corrosion resistance and various
fabrication approaches. Biomedical titanium materials are a
critically important part of biomaterials, especially in cases
where non-metallic biomedical materials are not suited to
applications, such as the case of load-bearing implants. The book
also covers the use of titanium for implants in the medical and
dental fields and reviews the use of titanium for medical
instruments and devices.
Titanium for Consumer Applications is the first book to tie
together the metallurgical advantages of titanium in consumer
applications. The book begins with a discussion of the metallurgy
and properties of titanium that is followed by six distinct
sections that look at the use of titanium in consumer products, the
sports industry, buildings and architecture design, arts field,
aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. This book is
useful for individuals involved in the manufacturing of titanium
components, as well as those looking to define new applications for
this versatile metal.
Titanium Powder Metallurgy contains the most comprehensive and
authoritative information for, and understanding of, all key issues
of titanium powder metallurgy (Ti PM). It summarizes the past,
reviews the present and discusses the future of the science and
technology of Ti PM while providing the world titanium community
with a unique and comprehensive book covering all important aspects
of titanium powder metallurgy, including powder production, powder
processing, green shape formation, consolidation, property
evaluation, current industrial applications and future
developments. It documents the fundamental understanding and
technological developments achieved since 1937 and demonstrates why
powder metallurgy now offers a cost-effective approach to the near
net or net shape fabrication of titanium, titanium alloys and
titanium metal matrix composites for a wide variety of industrial
applications.
