Quantum mechanical effects analysis of nanostructured solar cell models

Quantum mechanical effects analysis of nanostructured solar cell models

The quantum mechanical effects resulted from the inclusion of nanostructures, represented by quantum wells and quantum dots, in the i-layer of an intermediate band solar cell will be analyzed. We will discuss the role of these specific nanostructures in the increasing of the solar cells efficiency....
