Paraboloid Structured Silicon Surface for Enhanced Light Absorption: Experimental and Simulative Investigations
In this paper, we present an optical model that simulates the light trapping and scattering effects of a paraboloid texture surface first time. This model was experimentally verified by measuring the reflectance values of the periodically textured silicon (Si) surface with the shape of a paraboloid under different conditions. A paraboloid texture surface was obtained by electrochemical etching ...
متن کاملSurface-Plasmon Enhanced Near-Bandgap Light Absorption in Silicon Photovoltaics
An extended Mie scattering theory is used in this paper to analyze the surface-plasmon enhanced light absorption in silicon for photovoltaic applications. The calculation results show that the optical absorption in silicon can be enhanced up to 50 times at resonance frequency by embedded spherical silver nanoparticles due to the local field enhancement by surface plasmons. The analysis reveals ...
متن کاملExperimental Demonstration of Quasi-resonant Absorption in Silicon Thin Films for Enhanced Solar Light Trapping
We experimentally demonstrate that the addition of partial lattice disorder to a thin-film microcrystalline silicon photonic crystal results in the controlled spectral broadening of its absorption peaks to form quasi resonances: increasing light trapping over a wide bandwidth while also reducing sensitivity to the angle of incident radiation. Accurate finitedifference time-domain simulations ar...
متن کاملExperimental quantification of useful and parasitic absorption of light in plasmon-enhanced thin silicon films for solar cells application
A combination of photocurrent and photothermal spectroscopic techniques is applied to experimentally quantify the useful and parasitic absorption of light in thin hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) films incorporating optimized metal nanoparticle arrays, located at the rear surface, for improved light trapping via resonant plasmonic scattering. The photothermal technique accounts f...
متن کاملSurface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption
Molecules adsorbed on metal island films or particles exhibit 10–1000 times more intense infrared absorption than would be expected from conventional measurements without the metal. This effect is referred to as surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) to emphasize the similarities with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The electromagnetic interactions of the incident photon field w...
