Solar Cell light trapping beyond the ray optic limit.
In 1982, Yablonovitch proposed a thermodynamic limit on light trapping within homogeneous semiconductor slabs, which implied a minimum thickness needed to fully absorb the solar spectrum. However, this limit is valid for geometrical optics but not for a new generation of subwavelength solar absorbers such as ultrathin or inhomogeneously structured cells, wire-based cells, photonic crystal-based...
متن کاملCoupling in the Singular Limit of Thin Quantum Waveguides
We analyze the problem of approximating a smooth quantum waveguide with a quantum graph. We consider a planar curve with compactly supported curvature and a strip of constant width around the curve. We rescale the curvature and the width in such a way that the strip can be approximated by a singular limit curve, consisting of one vertex and two infinite, straight edges, i.e. a broken line. We d...
متن کاملLight Quarks beyond Chiral Limit
In this talk we discuss an improvement of the Diakonov-Petrov QCD Effective Action. We propose the Improved Effective Action, which is derived on the basis of the Lee-Bardeen results for the quark determinant in the instanton field. The Improved Effective Action provides proper account of the current quark masses, which is particularly important for strange quarks. This Action is successfully t...

متن کاملPlasmonic Light Trapping Transforming Thin-Film Photovoltaics
The photovoltaics (PV) market represents the fastest growing renewable energy technology, with a 35% annual growth rate, which is projected to be worth $150B by 2018.[1] The global cumulative installed PV capacity has exceeded 140 GW in 2013 and is generating 160 TWh/year of electricity, representing 0.85% of worldwide electricity demand. At the present growth rate, it is projected that over 20...
