About
This book summarizes the most recent aspects of polycrystalline semiconductors as presented at the conference Polycrystalline Semiconductors - Grain Boundaries and Interfaces. It contains 12 review articles on selected topics written by experts in their fields and 41 complementary contributed papers. The structure, chemistry and physics of grain boundaries and other interfaces are experimentally and theoretically studied. Aspects of the technologically important polycrystalline silicon are discussed in detail. Also covered are other polycrystalline semiconductors, germanium and compound semiconductors, that are currently of interest in fundamental research and in the technology of solar cells and thin film devices. Anyone interested in polycrystalline semiconductors will be able to use this comprehensive collection to advantage. It also suggests directions for new research and development.

  1. 1

    This collection summarizes a conference, featuring review articles and contributed papers. How does this structure, reflecting a collaborative scientific endeavor, shape our understanding of how knowledge is advanced and validated within a specialized field?

  2. 2

    The book explores the intricate balance between fundamental research into phenomena like grain boundaries and its direct technological application in solar cells. Where do you observe the greatest tension or synergy between pure scientific inquiry and practical engineering solutions within this text?

  3. 3

    The study of "grain boundaries and interfaces" is central to this book. Beyond the specific materials discussed, how does the concept of focusing on the "in-between" spaces, rather than just the bulk, resonate with how you might understand complexity or relationships in other areas of life or knowledge?
