30-692: The ROTC Program at RPI, Carlson entered the Army upon graduation, and saw combat in Pleiku, Vietnam. He left the armed service with the rank of Captain. Carlson also worked as a Research and Development Physicist at the U.S. Army Nuclear Effects Laboratory in 1968 and 1969. In 1970, Carlson joined RCA Laboratories as a member of the technical staff and worked in the areas of ion motion in glasses and insulators, glow-discharge deposition of films, and thin-film photovoltaic devices. In 1976, Carlson and Christopher Wronski co-invented
40-714: The age of six, his family was reunited in England where his father, a Polish Naval officer, was stationed. Wronski received both his B.S. in Physics in 1960 and his Ph.D. in Physics from Imperial College, London in 1963.From 1963 to 1967, he worked at the 3M Research Laboratories in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1967, he joined the RCA David Sarnoff Research Laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey. At RCA, his work with David Carlson led to
50-438: The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell. This development in solar energy led to world-wide efforts in applied and fundamental research of amorphous silicon-based technologies. In 1982 an RCA group led by A. Catalano demonstrated an amorphous silicon solar cell in excess of the 10% conversion efficiency considered a requirement for commercial success. In 1983, RCA spun off its amorphous silicon solar cell technology to
60-548: The invention of thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells. In 1976, together with David Staebler, he discovered the Staebler-Wronski effect, which describes reversible, light-induced changes in the optoelectronic properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. A seminal paper by Staebler and Wronski has now been cited more than 2,000 times. In 1978, Chris joined the Exxon Research Laboratories where he

80-539: Was a member of the team that developed optical enhancement for amorphous silicon solar cells. Together with David E. Carlson , he received the 1984 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award "for crucial contributions to the use of amorphous silicon in low-cost, high-performance photovoltaic solar cells." In 1987, Dr. Wronski joined the faculty in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Penn State University where he continued his research on amorphous silicon solar cells. He
90-506: Was an electrical engineer and Professor Emeritus at Pennsylvania State University , noted for his pioneering research in photovoltaic cells including discovery of amorphous silicon solar cell and the Staebler–Wronski effect . Christopher Wronski was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1939 as the son of Bogdan and Irene Wronski. Along with his brother and mother he lived in Poland during World War II. At
100-724: Was elected an IEEE Fellow in 1990 "for contributions to the understanding and application of hydrogenated amorphous silicon-based materials", and received the 2000 William R. Cherry award from the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference . Dr. Wronski succumbed to pancreatic cancer on October 22, 2017. David E. Carlson David E. Carlson was an American physicist who invented thin film, amorphous silicon based, photovoltaic solar cells. David Carlson received his B.S. in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1963, and his Ph.D. in physics from Rutgers University in 1968. Having participated in
