Tandem-structured, hot electron based photovoltaic cell with double Schottky barriers
We demonstrate a tandem-structured, hot electron based photovoltaic cell with double Schottky barriers. The tandem-structured, hot electron based photovoltaic cell is composed of two metal/semiconductor interfaces. Two types of tandem cells were fabricated using TiO2/Au/Si and TiO2/Au/TiO2, and photocurrent enhancement was detected. The double Schottky barriers lead to an additional pathway for...
متن کاملPlasmonically 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 کاملMott–Schottky behavior of strongly pinned double Schottky barriers and characterization of ceramic varistors
This work studies the capacitive behavior of an intergranular double Schottky barrier, which describes nonlinear charge transport in polycrystalline semiconductors. It is found that: ~i! a widely applied version of the Mott–Schottky equation can be inadequate, and can lead to significant errors; ~ii! a property called strong barrier pinning ~SBP!, underlies most attempts to obtain physical para...
متن کاملSchottky Barriers Based on Nanoporous InP with Gold Nanoparticles
Schottky barrier structures based on nanoporous InP with inclusion of Au nanoparticles and evaporated semitransparent Au film have been made. The spectra of short-circuit photocurrent in the visible range and current-voltage characteristics have been measured. Prepared structures are characterized by increased photocurrent due to the microrelief interface and surface plasmon excitation in gold ...
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...
