Quantum Wells in Photovoltaic Cells
C Rohr, P Abbott, I M Ballard +4
The fundamental efficiency limit of a single bandgap solar cell is about 31% at one sun with a bandgap of about Eg = 1.35 eV (1), determined by the trade-off of maximising current…

Short circuit current enhancement in GaAs/AlGaAs MQW solar cells
James P. Connolly, Keith W. J. Barnham, Jenny Nelson +3
The GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well solar cell (QWSC) shows promise as a novel approach to higher efficiency solar cells but suffers from a poor short circuit current Jsc. We report on ef…
