Plasmonic phenomenon inside the materials composing an organic solar cell based on a
photoactive poly (2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1, 4-phenylenevinylene):(6, 6)-phenyl …

We propose a design that increases significantly the absorption of a thin layer of absorbing
material such as amorphous silicon. This is achieved by patterning a one-dimensional …

We present a concept for improving the efficiency of thin-film solar cells via scattering from
dielectric particles. The particles are embedded directly within the semiconductor absorber …

We present a theoretical study of crystalline and amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells with
a periodic pattern on a sub-micron scale realized in the silicon layer and filled with silicon …

We propose a photovoltaic solar cell design based on a 100 nm thick absorbing layer made
of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and patterned as a two-dimensional planar photonic …

A detailed parametric study of the influence of silver nanospheres on the optical absorption

In this paper, we present the design, analysis, and experimental results on the integration of
2D photonic crystals in thin film photovoltaic solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous …

We present a methodology which allows designing photonic crystals slabs (PCs) able to
couple incident light into “slow Bloch modes”(SBMs) and dealing with their incorporation in …

In this paper we discuss on light management in silicon thin film solar cells, using photonic
crystal (PhC) structures. We particularly focus on photovoltaic devices including amorphous …

A single-junction germanium solar cell with a photonic crystal nanostructured surface has
been developed. The solar cell comprises a Ge pn junction and an InGaP window layer. The …
