Leveraging the high-performance computing capabilities of the HLRS supercomputing infrastructure, scientists of the Theoretical Materials Physics Group of the Paderborn University managed to trace interface defects in amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Visualizing the processes with atomic resolution they were able to characterize the processes that compromise the solar cells' efficiency. The findings will help to optimize the solar cells further and to decrease production costs.
