This theory has become the foundation for light management in bulk silicon PV cells, and has had enormous influence on the optical design of solar cells in general. This theory, however, is not applicable in the nanophotonic regime. Here we develop a statistical temporal coupled-mode theory of...
An example of this can be seen in the figure below, along with some important properties that can be determined from the IV measurement. It should be noted that generally, current density (J) is used instead of current when characterising solar cells, as the area of the cell will have an...
An expression has been derived for the absorption coefficient of an incident radiation with energy w by a semiconductor with band-gap . For a multilayer solar cell composed of seven layers that facilitate the solar cell to use the seven colours of the white light for maximum efficiency, the ex...
The existing theories of solor cells are mostly extensions of some p-n junction theories which were doveloped assuming dark conditions. Here we present a new physical solar-cell theory which considers the photon-generated carriers in the base region. By a novel, general thermodynamic method, we...
Part 1 of this series discusses basic principles of dye solar cells, their setup, and underlying electrochemical mechanisms. In addition, characterization of dye solar cells is demonstrated by means of basic electrochemical experiments. Introduction ...

High scattering cross section of plasmonic nanoparticles in intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs) based on quantum dots (QDs) can obviate the low photon absorption in QD layers. In this report, we present a modeling procedure to extract the optical and electrical characteristics of a GaAs-based ...
