Solar-Tectic LLC and researchers at SUNY – College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) have for the first time grown an ultra-thin crystalline silicon film on a flexible thin glass sheet. The film was characterized by Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and RAMAN, confirming a crystalline [111] oriented film has been […]
