Hole-mobility-limiting atomic structures in hydrogenated amorphous silicon

Low hole mobility currently limits the efficiency of amorphous silicon photovoltaic devices. We explore three possible phenomena contributing to this low mobility: coordination defects, self-trapping ionization displacement defects, and lattice expansion allowing for hole wave-function delocalizatio...
