Modeling of dual-metal Schottky contacts based silicon micro and nano wire solar cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
We study solar cell properties of single silicon wires connected at their ends to two dissimilar metals of different work functions. Effects of wire dimensions, the work functions of the metals, and minority carrier lifetimes ...
Tailoring optical absorption in silicon nanostructures from UV to visible light: A TDDFT study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The utilization of silicon nanostructures, from quantum dots to nanowires, for photovoltaic applications depends on understanding the effect of their physical structure on their optical absorption properties. In this work, ...
Simulation study of Schottky contact based single Si wire solar cell
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We model single silicon nanowire (SiNW) solar cells with dissimilar work function metal contacts. Both short circuit current (ISC) and open circuit voltage (VOC) have been investigated. Effects of nanowire dimension, ...
