Prof. Dr. Peter Wellmann

• Crystal growth (volume crystals and thin layers) of semiconductor materials, large band gaps for applications in power electronics with a focus on silicon carbide (SiC)
  • The Crystal Growth Lab is listed by the European Union as a Key Enabling Technology (KET) Centre ‘FAU – Industrial Services in Crystal Growth of SiC’: fundamental research, process development, construction of crystal growth machines, transfer of knowledge and technology to industry
• Manufacture of thin semiconductor layers for applications in photovoltaics and in photocatalytic water splitting (copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and chalcogenide perovskites)
• President of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) and treasurer of the German Crystal Growth Association (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kristallwachstum und Kristallzüchtung (DGKK e.V.))
