The effect of a band gap gradient on the radiative losses in the open circuit voltage of solar cells
Sevan Gharabeiki, Francesco Lodola, Tilly Schaaf +9
The radiative open circuit voltage loss in a solar cell occurs because the absorptance spectrum near the band gap shows gradual increase rather than sharp step function like transi…
