Photovoltaic Solar Energy

From Fundamentals to Applications, Volume 1

By: Angèle Reinders,Pierre J. Verlinden,Wilfried van Sark,Alexandre Freundlich

Solar PV is now the third most important renewable energy source, after hydro and wind power, in terms of global installed capacity. Bringing together the expertise of international PV specialists Photovoltaic Solar Energy: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of existing PV technologies in conjunction with an assessment of technological developments. Key features: Written by leading specialists active in concurrent developments in material sciences, solar cell research and application-driven R&D. Provides a basic knowledge base in light, photons and solar irradiance and basic functional principles of PV. Covers characterization techniques, economics and applications of PV such as silicon, thin-film and hybrid solar cells. Presents a compendium of PV technologies including: crystalline silicon technologies; chalcogenide thin film solar cells; thin-film silicon based PV technologies; organic PV and III-Vs; PV concentrator technologies; space technologies and economics, life-cycle and user aspects of PV technologies. Each chapter presents basic principles and formulas as well as major technological developments in a contemporary context with a look at future developments in this rapidly changing field of science and engineering. Ideal for industrial engineers and scientists beginning careers in PV as well as graduate students undertaking PV research and high-level undergraduate students.

Basic Concepts for Simple and Complex Liquids

By: Jean-Louis Barrat,Jean-Pierre Hansen

Presenting a unified approach, this book focusses on the concepts and theoretical methods that are necessary for an understanding of the physics and chemistry of the fluid state. The authors do not attempt to cover the whole field in an encyclopedic manner. Instead, important ideas are presented in a concise and rigorous style, and illustrated with examples from both simple molecular liquids and more complex soft condensed matter systems such as polymers, colloids, and liquid crystals.

Etudes sur le grand domaine carolingien

By: Jean-Pierre Devroey

The origins of the large estate of Carolingian Europe and the role it played in the evolution of Frankish society and economy are the themes of this volume. The first group of articles focus on documentary evidence, especially the polyptychs and their interpretation. Though there is insufficient material for any true quantitive history, Professor Devroey argues that the evidence points to demographic expansion, coupled with the exploitation of new agricultural methods and crops, and a reliance on the family as the unit of production. Further studies relate these estates to the commercial networks of the area, from a local to an international level. A final concern is to demonstrate that the large estate formed a key component of the Carolingian rulers’ aim to establish the ’bonum commune’ and a stable society, with assured food supplies, regulated markets and a just system of weights and measures. L’origine du grand domaine de l’Europe carolingienne et le rôle qu’il jouait dans l’évolution de la société et de l’économie du monde franc sont les thèmes de ce volume. Le premier groupe d’articles se concentre sur des documents et plus spécialement sur les polyptyques et leur interprétation. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de matériel suffisant pour une histoire quantitative, le professeur Devroey soutient que tout indique une expansion démographie, à laquelle viennent s’ajouter l’exploitation de nouvelles méthodes agricoles et de récoltes, ainsi qu’une dépendance vis-à-vis de la famille en tant qu’unité de production. Des études supplémentaires font le lien entre ces propriétés et les réseaux commerciaux de cette partie du monde, du niveau local au niveau international. L’auteur s’efforce finalement de démontrer que le grand domaine était un des facteurs à la base de la volonté des dirigeants carolingiens d’instaurer le ’bonum commune’ et une société stable avec des approvisionnements assurés, des march

Electron and Magnetization Densities in Molecules and Crystals

Electron and Magnetization Densities in Molecules and Crystals

By: Pierre Becker

The interest of describing the ground state properties of a system in terms of one electron density (or its two spin components) is obvious, in particular due to the simple physical significance of this function. Recent experimental progress in diffraction made the measurement of charge and magnetization densities in crystalline solids possible, with an accuracy at least as good as theoretical accuracy. Theoretical developments of the many-body problem have proved the extreme importance of the one electron density function and presently, accurate methods of band structure determination become available. Parallel to the diffraction techniques, other domains of research (inelastic scattering, resonance, molecular spectroscopy) deal with quantities directly related to the one particle density. But the two types of studies do not interfere enough and one should obviously gain more information by interpreting all experiments that are related to the density together. It became necessary to have an International School that reviews the status of the art in the domain of "ELECTRON AND MAGNETIZATION DENSITIES IN MOLECULES AND CRYSTALS". This was made possible through the generous effort of N.A.T.O. 's Scientific Affairs Division, and I would specially thank Dr. T. KESTER, the head of this Division, for his help and competence. An Advanced Study Institute was thus held in ARLES, south France, from the 16th to the 31st of August 1978.
