Upconverter and downconverter luminescent materials : progress and strategies towards highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells
In this thesis, the downconversion (DC) and upconversion (UC) luminescence properties of rare earth doped materials were investigated for the spectral conversion of part of the solar spectrum, in order to enhance the performances of silicon photovoltaic devices. Significant progress were achieved re...
