Numerical modeling of InGaN/GaN p-i-n solar cells under temperature and hydrostatic pressure effects

The present paper deals with the modeling of the simultaneous impact of temperature and applied hydrostatic pressure on the electronic characteristics and electrical parameters in In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN p-i-n solar cells. The energy conduction band is calculated with a self-consistent model coupled with th...
