The investigation of materials for photovoltaics and thermoelectrics was in the focus of the visit. At the institute in Algeria, chalcogenides for thin-film solar cells and for energy conversion are being studied and optimized in composition; in addition, silicon production and modeling of crystal growth processes are of interest. Dr. Meftah Tablaoui spent two weeks at the institute working and discussing with various research groups; the stay was supervised by Prof. Matthias Bickermann.
