Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed thin films that exhibit carrier multiplication. This development is of great interest for future solar cells. The BGU team demonstrated that for a given photon energy, carrier multiplication occurs more efficiently in bulk PbS and PbSe films than in nanocrystalline films of the same materials.
