DOI: 10.1109/jphot.2019.2961566
Abstract: Theoretical studies of ultra-thin silicon solar cells with cylindrical, conical and parabolic surface nanostructures inherited from natural self-assembled anodic alumina oxide (NSA-AAO) were performed by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. All nanostructured solar cells obtained an… read more here.
