      abstract = {This book examines the electronic structure of  earth-abundant and environmentally friendly materials for  use as absorber layers within photovoltaic cells. The  corroboration between high-quality photoemission  measurements and density of states calculations yields  valuable insights into why these materials have  demonstrated poor device efficiencies in the vast  literature cited. The book shows how the materials'  underlying electronic structures affect their properties,  and how the band positions make them unsuitable for use  with established solar cell technologies. After explaining  these poor efficiencies, the book offers alternative window  layer materials to improve the use of these absorbers. The  power of photoemission and interpretation of the data in  terms of factors generally overlooked in the literature,  such as the materials' oxidation and phase impurity, is  demonstrated. Representing a unique reference guide, the  book will be of considerable interest and value to members  of the photoemission community engaged in solar cell  research, and to a wider materials science audience as  well.},
