Solar cells are devices that convert the solar energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of this conversion depends directly on material defects at the atomic scale such as point defects, dislocations and grain boundaries. These types of defects are hard to study experimentally. Alternatively, computer simulations can be applied to study these defects with atomic scale resolution. Molecular Dynamics (MD) are computer simulations that allow to study the evolution and growth of these defects. MD simulations are computationally rigorous and require High Performance Computers (HPCs) to run. In this presentation, we show how we apply HPCs to run these simulations and the results.
