Transparent Materials Unlock New Possibilities for Photovoltaics | OilPrice.com

• Transparent materials can generate electricity when exposed to light, even if they have a vanishingly small absorption of such light.
• Floquet Fermi liquid states are a variant of Fermi liquids realized when the particles of the fluid are periodically shaken by light.
• This discovery has the potential to revolutionize the field of optoelectronics and photovoltaics.

Inti Sodemann Villadiego, Professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Leipzig University commented, "This opens new paradigms for constructing opto-electronic and photovoltaic devices, such as light amplifiers, sensors and solar cells."

His colleague Li-kun Shi added, "It is possible to drive electric currents by light even when the material has a vanishingly small absorption of such light. This is an important new insight."
