Beneficial impact of a thin tunnel barrier in quantum well intermediate-band solar cell

Beneficial impact of a thin tunnel barrier in quantum well intermediate-band solar cell

Based on electronic quantum transport modeling, we study the transition between the intermediate-band and the conduction-band in nano-structured intermediate-band solar cell. We show that a tunnel barrier between the quantum well (QW) and the host material could improve the current. The confinement...
