Numerical Modeling of Electronic and Electrical Characteristics of 0.3 0.7 Al Ga N / GaN Multiple Quantum Well Solar Cells
The present study was conducted to investigate current density of0.3 0.7 Al Ga N/ GaN multiple quantum well solar cell (MQWSC) under hydrostaticpressure. The effects of hydrostatic pressure were taken into account to measureparameters of 0.3 0.7 Al Ga N/ GaN MQWSC, such as interband transition energy, electronholewave functions, absorption coefficient, and dielectric con...
متن کاملAg nanoparticles-embedded surface plasmonic InGaN-based solar cells via scattering and localized field enhancement.
Ag nanoparticles are embedded in intentionally etched micro-circle p-GaN holes by means of a thermal agglomeration process to enhance the light absorption efficiency in InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) solar cells. The Ag nanoparticles are theoretically and experimentally verified to generate the plasmon light scattering and the localized field enhancement near the MQW absorption layer. The e...
متن کاملEnhanced power conversion efficiency in InGaN-based solar cells via graded composition multiple quantum wells.
This work demonstrates the enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQWs) solar cells with gradually decreasing indium composition in quantum wells (GQWs) toward p-GaN as absorber. The GQW can improve the fill factor from 42% to 62% and enhance the short current density from 0.8 mA/cm2 to 0.92 mA/cm2, as compares to the typical MQW sol...
متن کاملInGaN/GaN multiple quantum well solar cells with long operating wavelengths
We report on the fabrication and photovoltaic characteristics of InGaN solar cells by exploiting InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells MQWs with In contents exceeding 0.3, attempting to alleviate to a certain degree the phase separation issue and demonstrate solar cell operation at wavelengths longer than previous attainments 420 nm . The fabricated solar cells based on In0.3Ga0.7N /GaN MQWs exhibit...
