Electronic Characterisation of Earth‐Abundant Sulphides for Solar Photovoltaics

Having graduated with a Master's degree in physics from the University of Durham, UK, Thomas Whittles then completed his PhD at the University of Liverpool, UK, producing the work presented in this book. He now lives in Germany, and is about to begin a postdoctoral placement at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart.
