About this book

Zinc oxide (ZnO) belongs to the class of transparent conducting oxides which can be used as transparent electrodes in electronic devices or heated windows. In this book the material properties of, the deposition technologies for, and applications of zinc oxide in thin film solar cells are described in a comprehensive manner. Structural, morphological, optical and electronic properties of ZnO are treated in this review. The editors and authors of this book are specialists in deposition, analysis and fabrication of thin-film solar cells and especially of ZnO. This book is intended as an overview and a data collection for students, engineers and scientist.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"A work devoted to the deposition technology and properties of zinc oxide, a transparent conducting material, and its various applications to thin film solar cells. … A list of references accompanies each chapter … of this well-written book. Illustrations are good … . Graduate students, faculty, and professional engineers will benefit from this book, which offers a broad overview of the subject and a thesaurus of useful data. An excellent acquisition for an academic or industrial library. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (T. Z. Kattamis, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), July, 2008)
