Erratum: GaAs nanopillar-array solar cells employing in situ surface passivation
Arrays of III-V direct-bandgap semiconductor nanopillars represent promising photovoltaic candidates due to their inherent high optical absorption coefficients and minimized reflection arising from light trapping, efficient charge collection in the radial direction and the ability to synthesize them on low-cost platforms. However, the increased surface area results in surface states that hamper...
متن کاملNanopillar lasers directly grown on silicon with heterostructure surface passivation.
Single-crystalline wurtzite InGaAs/InGaP nanopillars directly grown on a lattice-mismatched silicon substrate are demonstrated. The nanopillar growth is in a core-shell manner and gives a sharp, defect-free heterostructure interface. The InGaP shell provides excellent surface passivation effect for InGaAs nanopillars, as attested by 50-times stronger photoluminescence intensities and 5-times gr...
متن کاملPlasmon-Enhanced Light Absorption in GaAs Nanowire Array Solar Cells
In this paper, we propose a plasmon-enhanced solar cell structure based on a GaAs nanowire array decorated with metal nanoparticles. The results show that by engineering the metallic nanoparticles, localized surface plasmon could be excited, which can concentrate the incident light and propagate the energy to nanowires. The surface plasmon can dramatically enhance the absorbance of near-bandgap...
متن کاملEffect of Front-Surface Doping onBack-Surface Passivation in GaInPand GaAs Cells
The emitter doping of a solar cell usually affects the blue response of the cell because the blue light is strongly absorbed at the front of the cell in the emitter layer. However, we show here that changing the identity of the dopant at the front of the cell affects the performance of the back of the cell, sometimes more than the performance of the front of the cell. Specifically, a highly Zn-...
متن کاملElectrical and optical characterization of surface passivation in GaAs nanowires.
We report a systematic study of carrier dynamics in Al(x)Ga(1-x)As-passivated GaAs nanowires. With passivation, the minority carrier diffusion length (L(diff)) increases from 30 to 180 nm, as measured by electron beam induced current (EBIC) mapping, and the photoluminescence (PL) lifetime increases from sub-60 ps to 1.3 ns. A 48-fold enhancement in the continuous-wave PL intensity is observed o...
