In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain method is adopted to investigate the light
scattering properties of core (metal)-shell (dielectric) nanoparticles, with varying shell …

Plasmonic metallic nanoparticles are coupled to the organic solar cells to overcome the
trade-off between the light absorption and carrier collection. They are usually located inside …

Enhancing photon absorptance in ultrathin solar/thermophotovoltaic (STPV) cells is crucial
for low-cost highly efficient cells. A complete study of power conversion enhancement, in a …

Au nanobipyramids (NBPs) with sharp tips and narrow plasmon linewidths are ideal
candidates for plasmonic applications. In this paper, we investigated the influencing factors …

GaAs and InAs are common material choices for intermediate band solar cell
implementation owing to lattice-matching and outstanding synthesizing quality. Core–shell …
