Overview
Personal Profile
Darius Kuciauskas is working on semiconductor electro-optical characterization. He specializes in photovoltaic semiconductors and solar cells by developing and applying characterization and metrology techniques for carrier lifetime, passivation, and transport analysis. Research included II-VI and III-V crystalline semiconductors, kesterites, chalcogenides, and currently mostly cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskites. Darius Kuciauskas widely collaborates with industry and academic partners, including analysis of all world-record CdTe solar cells since 2010. He is credited with application of two-photon methods to thin film PV, optical methods to differentiate field effect versus defect passivation, and developing understanding of band tailing effects on polycrystalline device performance.
