a-Si/c-Si1-xGex/c-Si Heterojunction Solar Cells
The performance and material quality requirements of thin film a-Si/c-Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction solar cells are investigated by modeling and simulation. The effects of Ge content, Si1-xGex thickness, Si1-xGex lifetime and a-Si/c-Si1-xGex interfacial quality have been studied. The simulations predict that Si1-xGex based thin film solar cells provide a significant increase in solar cell output c...
متن کاملThe interstitial CiOi defect in bulk Si and Si1−xGex
The equilibrium geometries, phonon spectra, electronic structures and optical properties of the Ci Oi defect in bulk Si and Si1−x Gex systems are calculated using the ab initio plane wave density-functional method. We find that in a Gedoped Si crystal it is more energetically favourable for the defect to stabilize in a configuration with no Ge atoms in the first sphere. Our calculations show th...
متن کاملDesigning Si/si1−xgex Superlattices with Tailored Thermal Transport Properties
INTRODUCTION Si/Si1−xGex superlattices are promising candidates for thermoelectric energy conversion applications [1, 2], as the phonon transport through them can be inhibited while maintaining desirable electrical transport properties. No comprehensive experimental study has been performed to map the thermal conductivity design space accessible by Si/Ge nanocomposites. By using atomistic model...
متن کاملNanoscale mechanisms of misfit dislocation propagation in undulated Si1-xGex/Si(100) epitaxial thin films
Nanoscale lateral variations in the stress field of undulated Si0.7Ge0.3/Si(100) films have been experimentally studied via in situ transmission electron microscopy annealing and through finite element calculations. When annealed at ∼480 ◦C, misfit dislocations in a 30 nm film (having surface undulations of ∼70 nm wavelength and ∼3 nm amplitude) propagated at 80 nm s−1 average speed but with pe...
