Solar Cell Breakthrough Could Lead to Extremely Efficient Yet Cheap Solar Cells

ScienceDaily (May 27, 2008) — Researchers at TU Delft and the FOM Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter have found irrefutable proof that the so-called avalanche effect by electrons occurs in specific, very small semiconducting crystals. This physical effect could pave the way for cheap, high-output solar cells. More here, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080527091942.htm
