High-energy solar photons create just one electron/hole-pair in a typical p–n junction cell, although their energies would suffice to produce two or more pairs. Multiple-junction cells alleviate this problem of energy waste. Another possibility is

Reducing the geometric dimensionality in a photovoltaic cell is useful in designing optimal contact geometry, in enhancing the conversion efficiency by enlarging the concentrations of photogenerated carriers and, generally, by utilizing thin-film str

We apply the novel perforated-silicon process (Ψ-process) for the fabrication of thin (a few microns thick) monocrystalline silicon layers for solar cells with textured surfaces for efficient light trapping. A silicon layer grows epitaxially on the

Crystalline Si1−xGex compounds offer the possibility for tuning the electronic energy band structure with the chemical composition of the alloy in order to adapt the material for devices utilizing the energy of solar photons at an optimum. We conce

Polycrystalline silicon films, prepared by annealing from amorphous precursors, are analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and reveal a logarithmic-normal distribution of grain sizes. Such size distributions also result from various other cryst

Our recent quantum efficiency measurements showed that more than one electron/hole pair per absorbed photon can be created in a solar cell. Thermodynamic consideration of carrier multiplication leads to new efficiency limits for photovoltaic energy c

Recent investigation on Si solar cells demonstrated the utility of Auger generation for the creation of more than merely one electron/hole pair per absorbed photon. The semiconductor Si requires a minimum photon energy of about 3.4 eV for this intern

Solar cells utilize carriers which are generated by absorption of photons with an energy above the fundamental band gap of the semiconductor. A maximum number of one electron/hole pair per photon has thus far been taken for granted under the tacit as

We investigated the solution growth of silicon on quartz glass in the temperature range 800–580°C. A thin Al-Si layer, evaporated on the quartz glass, served to improve the wetting between the substrate and the Al Ga solvent. We obtained silicon d
