Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…The emission spectra of indoor light sources are narrower and blue-shifted compared to the standard terrestrial outdoor AM 1.5G solar spectrum, which is the reference spectrum for standard testing of solar energy conversion systems, with a specified standard irradiance of 1000 W/m2[1]; AM stands for air mass coefficient. The intensity of indoor light sources is approximately three orders of magnitude lower than 1-sun illumination [2, 3]. …”
