On 2019, I was granted a fellowship to visit the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at Berkeley, California ! Here, I worked together with Staff Scientist Dr. Andrew Canning to perform electronic calculations of interfaces and grain boundaries in CdTe material using Density Functional Theory. Our work will allow to know which defects are beneficial or […]

On April 2019, I published a paper with highly important results about the mobility of grain boundaries in CdTe solar cells. In this paper, I use Molecular Dynamics simulations to simulate the motion of Sigma 3, Sigma 7, and Sigma 11 grain boundaries in CdTe. Then, I plot distance over time plots varying the temperature […]
