Nanoarchitecture in the black wings of Troides magellanus: a natural case of absorption enhancement in photonic materials
Aline Herman, Cedric Vandenbem, Olivier Deparis +2
The birdwings butterfly Troides magellanus possesses interesting properties for light and thermal radiation management. The black wings of the male exhibit strong (98%) absorption…
First-principle calculation of solar cell efficiency under incoherent illumination
Michael Sarrazin, Aline Herman, Olivier Deparis
Because of the temporal incoherence of sunlight, solar cells efficiency should depend on the degree of coherence of the incident light. However, numerical computation methods, whic…
The fundamental problem of treating light incoherence in photovoltaics and its practical consequences
Aline Herman, Michael Sarrazin, Olivier Deparis
The incoherence of sunlight has long been suspected to have an impact on solar cell energy conversion efficiency, although the extent of this is unclear. Existing computational met…
Influence of the pattern shape on the photonic efficiency of front-side periodically patterned ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells
Aline Herman, Christos Trompoukis, Valerie Depauw +2
Patterning the front side of an ultra-thin crystalline silicon (c Si) solar cell helps keeping the energy conversion efficiency high by compensating for the light absorption losses…
