We have computed the electronic and hole spectra of a 3D superlattice consisting of layers of GaAs rods of finite height arranged in a hexagonal lattice and embedded in an AlGaAs matrix, alternating with spacer layers of homogeneous AlAs.…
We propose type-II GaAsSb/GaAsN superlattices (SLs) lattice-matched to GaAs as a novel material for the 1 eV sub-cells present in highly efficient GaAs/Ge-based multi-junction solar cells. We demonstrate that, among other benefits, the…
We present a multiscale approach for modeling an intermediate-band solar cell based on a GaAs-GaAlAs quantum dot superlattice of cubic symmetry. Our framework combines high-accuracy theoretical calculations of the superlattice band…
We present a new double-layer design for 2D surface superlattice systems in GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures. Unlike previous studies, our device (1) uses an in-situ gate, which allows very short period superlattice in high mobility, shallow…
An optoelectronic optimization was carried out for an AlGaAs solar cell containing (i) an n-AlGaAs absorber layer with a graded bandgap and (ii) a periodically corrugated Ag backreflector combined with localized ohmic Pd-Ge-Au backcontacts.…

The purpose of this work is to look for a practical structure for application of quantum dots (QD) in solar cells in order to enhance sub-band gap photon absorption. We focuse on a stack of strain-compensated GaSb/GaAs type-II QDs. We…
The Shockley and Queisser limit, a well-known efficiency limit for a solar cell, is based on unrealistic physical assumptions and its maximum limit is seriously overestimated. To understand the power loss mechanisms of record-efficiency…
The power conversion efficiency of an ultrathin CIGS solar cell was maximized using a coupled optoelectronic model to determine the optimal bandgap grading of the nonhomogeneous CIGS layer in the thickness direction. The bandgap of the CIGS…
Multijunction solar cell design is guided by both the theoretical optimal bandgap combination as well as the realistic limitations to materials with these bandgaps. For instance, triple-junction III-V multijunction solar cells commonly use…
The GaAs/AlGaAs materials system is well suited to multi-bandgap applications such as the multiple quantum well solar cell. GaAs quantum wells are inserted in the undoped AlGaAs active region of a pin structure to extend the absorption…
