Section Description

Prerequisites: Phys 214 & Co-reqs: ECE 340. This course explores the energy conversion devices from fundamentals to system-level issues. The modern devices to be explored include light emitting diodes and solar cells. Topics include energy transfer between photons and electron-hole pairs, light emission and capture, emission and absorption engineering via device simulation/design, radiative and non-radiative processes in devices, electrical and optical characteristics, carrier diffusion and mobility, light extraction and trapping, and thermal management for high power high efficiency energy conversion devices. Prerequisites: Phys 214 & Co-reqs: ECE 340.
