Structural Optimization of Photonic Crystals for Enhancing Optical Absorption of Thin Film Silicon Solar Cell Structures
We carry out the structural design of photonic crystals to enhance the optical absorption of thin-film microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si) solar cells using two methods. First, by exhaustive search, we choose a structure with the largest absorption within the investigated patterns. Then we e...
