We review epitaxial formation, basic properties, and device applications of a novel type of
nanostructures of mixed (0D/2D) dimensionality that we refer to as quantum well-dots …

High‐efficiency solar cells are essential for high‐density terrestrial applications, as well as
space and potentially vehicle applications. The optimum bandgap for the terrestrial spectrum …

We study material gain of a novel type of quantum heterostructures of mixed (0D/2D)
dimensionality referred to as quantum well-dots (QWDs). To evaluate the material gain in a …

III-V materials enable the highest reported power conversion efficiency of any photovoltaic
technology. The incorporation of high-quality nanostructures can tailor absorption to the …

There are several methods for the evaluation of the performance of solar cells through the
voltage loss. However, the advantages and disadvantages of each method have not been …

The paper presents an overview of studies of the multi-junction (MJ) solar cells (SC) with IV
characteristics having nonlinear peculiarities. It is shown that such peculiarities can arise …

A method for measuring light absorption using photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS)
is investigated. Typical reflectance and transmittance (R & T) absorption measurements …

MOCVD-grown GaAs single-junction solar cells (SC) with quantum well-dots (QWD) were
fabricated and tested. The QWD were formed by the deposition of In 0.4 Ga 0.6 As layers …

Voltage-loss analysis is essential in the development of next-generation solar cells, such as
perovskite, chalcopyrite, kesterite, and nano/quantum-structured solar cells. Voltage-loss …

Resistance-less dark IV-curves of GaAs solar cells with and without quantum-dimensional
objects allied to both quantum dot and quantum well have been obtained and analyzed …
