Abstract
A scanning tunneling Microscope in ultrahigh vacuum is used to measure the profile of electronic properties of cleaved amorphous silicon solarcells. -Their exposed layers in a single and a tandem cell can be identified by their characteristic current - voltage dependencies (scanningtunneling spectroscopy). An Apparent Potential is measured throughout the cells. The results for the tandem cell from SOLAREX, Inc. are shown.Proceedings Title
