Plasmonically enhanced hot electron based photovoltaic device.
Hot electron photovoltaics is emerging as a candidate for low cost and ultra thin solar cells. Plasmonic means can be utilized to significantly boost device efficiency. We separately form the tunneling metal-insulator-metal (MIM) junction for electron collection and the plasmon exciting MIM structure on top of each other, which provides high flexibility in plasmonic design and tunneling MIM des...
متن کاملSimple Photovoltaic Device Based on Multiwall Carbon Nanotube/Silicon Heterojunction
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grown via chemical vapour deposition method directly on a stainless steel substrate. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are the techniques chosen to characterize the structure of the synthesized carbon nanotubes: few structural defects are detected. After their removal from the stainless steel substrate, the as-grown MWCNTs are then a...

متن کاملHot electron effect in nanoscopically thin photovoltaic junctions
The open circuit voltage in ultrathin amorphous silicon solar cells is found to increase with light energy frequency , due to extraction of hot electrons. The ultrathin nature of these junctions also leads to large internal electric fields, yielding reduced recombination and increased current. A simple phenomenological argument provides a qualitative understanding of these effects and gives gui...
متن کاملPlasmonically enhanced thermomechanical detection of infrared radiation.
Nanoplasmonics has been an attractive area of research due to its ability to localize and manipulate freely propagating radiation on the nanometer scale for strong light-matter interactions. Meanwhile, nanomechanics has set records in the sensing of mass, force, and displacement. In this work, we report efficient coupling between infrared radiation and nanomechanical resonators through nanoante...
