🎉 Congratulations to Simon Zeder from the EPFL PV-lab on the successful defense of his PhD thesis “Advanced Modeling and Simulation of Luminescence Phenomena in Perovskite Semiconductors” under the supervision of Prof. Christophe Ballif and Dr U. Aeberhard. 🔎 In this thesis, a novel mathematical and computational framework has been developed for the simulation of photon recycling effects in semiconductor structures. Through a novel physical description of dipole emission from within absorbing media, coupled to a model for electronic transport, the full optoelectronic back-coupling of photon recycling could be analyzed. This allowed to directly quantify the impact of such mechanisms on the efficiencies of both light-emitting (LEDs) and light-absorbing (solar cells) devices, and to investigate its implications for device design.
Congratulations Dr!
