Notes

  1. 1.

    In this chapter, clusters are seen as molecular clusters consisting of a certain number of atoms and molecules in contrast to the Yukawa clusters in the previous chapters that denoted an ensemble of dust particles.

  2. 2.

    Efficiencies for commercially available multicrystalline Si solar cells for power production (on the roof of houses or in large solar cell fields) are around 14–19%. This is only achieved by crystalline silicon panels which, however, are relatively expensive.
