To provide a basis for projecting future uses of photovoltaics (PV) in extraterrestrial applications, we review the environmental conditions where space solar cells operate and the wide range of mission applications. This is followed by a survey of the ยฎeld for the past 40 years, showing the trends

Amorphous silicon alloy has received a great deal of attention as a low-cost material for solar cells and modules. The disorder inherent in the material creates many defect states that impede carrier transport, and the major challenge has been to improve the light-to-electricity conversion eciency.
he importance and prevalence of peptide science makes it perhaps too easy to label as a ''mature'' discipline, with the suggestion of a certain stodginess or grown-up quality to the field. But this is not the case! Unlike some scientific areas that progress through a lifecycle of birth, growth and g
