Fully automated spectroscopic ellipsometry analyses: Application to MoOx thin films

Kohei Oiwake, Yukinori Nishigaki, Shohei Fujimoto +2

In spectroscopic ellipsometry, the optical properties of materials are obtained indirectly by generally assuming dielectric function and optical models. This ellipsometry analysis,…

Highly accurate prediction of material optical properties based on density functional theory

Mitsutoshi Nishiwaki, Hiroyuki Fujiwara

Theoretical material investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) has been a breakthrough in the last century. Nevertheless, the optical properties calculated by DFT gene…

Giant oscillator strength in the band-edge light absorption of zincblende, chalcopyrite and kesterite solar cell materials

Masato Kato, Mitsutoshi Nishiwaki, Hiroyuki Fujiwara

In semiconducting solar-cell absorbers, high absorption coefficient (alpha) near the band-edge region is critical to maximize the photocurrent generation and collection. Neverthele…

Maximum efficiencies and performance limiting factors of inorganic and hybrid perovskite solar cells

Yoshitsune Kato, Shohei Fujimoto, Masayuki Kozawa +1

The Shockley and Queisser limit, a well-known efficiency limit for a solar cell, is based on unrealistic physical assumptions and its maximum limit is seriously overestimated. To u…

Tail state formation in solar cell materials: First principles analyses of zincblende, chalcopyrite, kesterite and hybrid perovskite crystals

Mitsutoshi Nishiwaki, Keisuke Nagaya, Masato Kato +6

Tail state formation in solar cell absorbers leads to a detrimental effect on solar cell performance. Nevertheless, the characterization of the band tailing in experimental semicon…

Carrier loss mechanisms in textured crystalline Si-based solar cells

Akihiro Nakane, Shohei Fujimoto, Hiroyuki Fujiwara

A quite general device analysis method that allows the direct evaluation of optical and recombination losses in crystalline silicon (c-Si)-based solar cells has been developed. By…
