The role of the surfaces in the photon absorption in Ge nanoclusters embedded in silica

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The usage of semiconductor nanostructures is highly promising for boosting the energy conversion efficiency in photovoltaics technology, but still some of the underlying mechanisms are not well understood at the nanoscale length. Ge quantum dots (QDs) should have...
