Methodology for vetting heavily doped semiconductors for intermediate band photovoltaics: A case study in sulfur-hyperdoped silicon

We present a methodology for estimating the efficiency potential for candidate impurity-band photovoltaic materials from empirical measurements. This methodology employs both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and low-temperature photoconductivity to calculate a “performance figure of merit” an...
