Abstract

The paper outlines several unique properties of C ₆₀ (environmental, electronic, and structural), compared to standard semiconductors such as Si and GaAs, that render it a most promising material for the fabrication of high-efficiency photovoltaic cells. Details are presented of an experimental Schottky barrier solar cell we have constructed using a single crystal of C ₆₀. Preliminary results of our experimental studies of the optical properties of crystalline and amorphous C ₆₀ films are discussed.
