Overview
Personal Profile
Eric Colegrove is a staff scientist at NLR with more than 10 years of experience in cadmium telluride (CdTe)-based solar photovoltaics (PV) research and development. His graduate work focused on arsenic doping of single crystal CdTe thin-films deposited by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). His postdoc appointment at NLR continued this work, expanding from single crystal model systems to large grain polycrystalline material and additional group V dopants including phosphorus and antimony. Recently, as a staff scientist, his research focus has shifted to challenges associated with implementing group V doping in polycrystalline thin-film devices while supporting various other inter-related research efforts to improve the performance and stability of CdTe based PV materials.
