Patrick Campbell's CV (PDF 20 kb)

Research Interests

  • Optical confinement in solar cells
  • Influence of surface texture on silicon film crystallisation
  • Surface texturing of glass

Selected Publications:

  • P. Campbell, “Enhancement of absorption in silicon films using a pressed glass substrate texture”, Glass Technology June 2002. (Introduces a new surface texturing process for thin film solar cells using author-developed equipment. A new method of assessing light trapping is presented.)
  • M. Kerr, P. Campbell and A. Cuevas, “Limiting Efficiency of Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells due to Coulomb-Enhanced Auger Recombination”, to be published in Progress in Photovoltaics. (Refines effects of doping and injection and introduces effect of photon recycling.)
  • P. Campbell and M. Keevers, “Characterisation of Light Trapping in Silicon Films by Spectral Photoconductance Measurements”, Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells 66, pp187-193 (2001). (Examines how an electronic approach overcomes fundamental limitation of standard optical method for characterising light trapping.)
  • P.Campbell and M.A.Green, “High Performance light trapping textures for monocrystalline silicon solar cells”, Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells 65, pp. 369-375 (2001). (Two new surface textures are presented which, while based on crystallographic etching, overcome prime shortcomings of presently fabricated pyramid textures.)
  • P.Campbell and M.Keevers, “Light Trapping and Reflection Control for Silicon Thin Films Deposited on Glass Substrates Textured by Embossing”, Conference Record, 28th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialist Conference, p. 355-8, Alaska (2000). (Introduces new texturing process and assesses validity of using photoconductance for characterising light trapping.)
  • J.Zhao, P.Campbell and M.A.Green, “19.8% Efficient Honeycomb Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cell with Improved Light Trapping”, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol.46, No.10, 1978-1983 (special edition on Photovoltaics, 1999).
