It can be found that the active layer are very smooth before patterning and the roughness is
less than 5 nm, while the grating with width and height of 700 and 40 nm, respectively, are …

We present a design concept of thin-film organic solar cells using a photonic crystal as the
electrode. Through the excitation of optical Tamm states (OTSs), the proposed photonic …

We demonstrate improved efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) by employing a
periodically corrugated metallic electrode in the OSCs. The improved efficiency can be …

We experimentally compare the light trapping efficiency of dielectric and metallic
backscattering patterns in thin-film a-Si: H solar cells. We compare devices with randomly …

A substantial and stable increase of the current density Jsc of ruthenium (Ru) dye sensitized
solar cells (DSC) of up to 16.18% and of the power efficiency of up to 25.5% is demonstrated …

The performance enhancement of inverted polymer solar cells (PSCs), based on the blend
system of regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene) and [6, 6]-phenyl C 61-butyric acid …

This work introduces a high-efficiency organic solar cell with grating nanostructure in both
hole and electron transport layers and plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) distributed on …

In this work, Ag nanogratings comprised of arrays of nanostrips with three different cross
sections of triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal shape were considered and put at the top …

Band‐edge related photoluminescence from a strained Si0. 96Sn0. 04 alloy grown by
molecular beam epitaxy on Si (100) substrate has been seen for the first time. We report …

In this work, a short-pitch plasmonic grating is introduced in a conventional organic solar
cell, aiming for improving light absorption. It is found that by utilizing a metallic grating with …
