The present volume constitutes a reference book containing classic papers in the field of solar cells as well as a relatively complete photovoltaic bibliography. The general subjects include the historical development of solar cells, solar-cell theory, cell fabrication, space systems, terrestrial applications, and working-group resumes and discussions. Individual papers deal with such topics as silicon p-n junction photocells, effects of temperature on photovoltaic solar-energy conversion, series resistance effects on solar-cell measurements, drift fields in photovoltaic solar-energy-converter cells, the violet cell, the photovoltaic effect in CdS, efficiency calculations of heterojunction solar-energy converters, CdTe solar cells and photovoltaic heterojunctions in II-VI compounds, the photovoltaic effect in GaAs p-n junctions, and the multiple-junction edge-illuminated solar cell. Other papers discuss silicon solar cell degradation in the space environment, direct solar-energy conversion for terrestrial use, single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon, and CdS/Cu2S thin-film cells
