  • Title: Design of nanostructured solar cells using coupled optical and electrical modeling.
    Author: Deceglie MG, Ferry VE, Alivisatos AP, Atwater HA.
    Journal: Nano Lett; 2012 Jun 13; 12(6):2894-900. PubMed ID: 22574816.
    Abstract:
    Nanostructured light trapping has emerged as a promising route toward improved efficiency in solar cells. We use coupled optical and electrical modeling to guide optimization of such nanostructures. We study thin-film n-i-p a-Si:H devices and demonstrate that nanostructures can be tailored to minimize absorption in the doped a-Si:H, improving carrier collection efficiency. This suggests a method for device optimization in which optical design not only maximizes absorption, but also ensures resulting carriers are efficiently collected.
