In the frame of the development of thin crystalline silicon solar cell technologies, surface nanopatterning of silicon is gaining importance. Its impact on the material quality is,…
Micrometer-Thin Crystalline-Silicon Solar Cells Integrating Numerically Optimized 2-D Photonic Crystals
V. Depauw, X. Meng, O. El Daif +7
A 2-D photonic crystal was integrated experimentally into a thin-film crystalline-silicon solar cell of 1-μm thickness, after numerical optimization maximizing light absorption in…
Broadband absorption enhancement in ultra-thin crystalline Si solar cells by incorporating metallic and dielectric nanostructures in the back reflector
Samart Jain, Valerie Depauw, Vladimir D. Miljkovic +5
We propose a back-reflecting scheme in order to enhance the maximum achievable current in one micron thick crystalline silicon solar cells. We perform 3-dimensional numerical inves…
Inverted random nanopyramids patterning for crystalline silicon photovoltaics
Ounsi El Daif, Christos Trompoukis, Bjoern Niesen +4
We demonstrate a nanopatterning technique for silicon photovoltaics, which optically outperforms conventional micron-scale random pyramids, while decreasing by a factor of ten the…
Optical manipulation of the wave function of quasiparticles in a solid
R. Cerna, D. Sarchi, T. K. Paraiso +9
Polaritons in semiconductor microcavities are hybrid quasiparticles consisting of a superposition of photons and excitons. Due to the photon component, polaritons are characterized…
