Design parameters for enhanced photon absorption in vertically aligned silicon nanowire arrays
UNLABELLED Superior photon absorption in ordered nanowire arrays has been demonstrated recently. However, systematic studies are still missing to explore the limits of their implementation as functional photonic devices. With emphasis on silicon nanowires, we investigated the effects of nanowire diameter, length, morphology, and pitch on the photon absorption within the visible solar spectrum b...
متن کاملModal analysis of enhanced absorption in silicon nanowire arrays.
We analyze the absorption of solar radiation by silicon nanowire arrays, which are being considered for photovoltaic applications. These structures have been shown to have enhanced absorption compared with thin films, however the mechanism responsible for this is not understood. Using a new, semi-analytic model, we show that the enhanced absorption can be attributed to a few modes of the array,...
متن کاملCorrelating Light Absorption with Various Nanostructure Geometries in Vertically Aligned Si Nanowire Arrays
Exploring the interactions between light and nanostructures contributes greatly to understanding and engineering nanoscale optical phenomena related to device performance. However, this often involves a compromise between uniformity and scalability. Given that optical properties, and especially light absorption, are governed by the geometries of nanostructures, this study investigated the corre...
متن کاملInorganic/organic hybrid solar cells: optimal carrier transport in vertically aligned silicon nanowire arrays.
Inorganic/organic hybrid radial heterojunction solar cells that combine vertically-aligned n-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) have great potential for replacing commercial Si solar cells. The chief advantage of such solar cells is that they exhibit higher absorbance for a given thickness than commercial Si solar cells, due ...
