Analytical Device-Physics Framework for Non-Planar Solar Cells
T. Kirkpatrick, M. J. Burns, M. J. Naughton
Non-planar solar-cell devices have been promoted as a means to enhance current collection in absorber materials with charge-transport limitations. This work presents an analytical…
The Effects of Geometry on a-Si:H Solar Cell Performance
T. Kirkpatrick, M. J. Burns, M. J. Naughton
We present a model for simulating performance of 3D nano -coaxial and -hemispherical thin film solar cells. The material system considered in these simulations is hydrogenated amor…
Embedded metal nanopatterns for near-field scattering-enhanced optical absorption
Fan Ye, Michael J. Burns, Michael J. Naughton
Simulations of metal nanopatterns embedded in a thin photovoltaic absorber show significantly enhanced absorbance within the semiconductor, with a more than 300% increase for λ = 8…
Photoinduced time-resolved electrodynamics of superconducting metals and alloys
R. P. S. M. Lobo, J. D. LaVeigne, D. H. Reitze +6
The photoexcited state in superconducting metals and alloys was studied via pump-probe spectroscopy. A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser was used to create the non-equilibrium state and the…
