The steady-state, space-charge-limited piezoresistance (PZR) of defect-engineered, silicon-on-insulator device layers containing silicon divacancy defects changes sign as a function of applied bias. Above a punch-through voltage ($V_t$)…
The ABC model has been widely used to describe the carrier recombination rate, in which the rate of non-radiative recombination assisted by deep-level defects is assumed to depend linearly on excess carrier density $\Delta n$, leading to a…
Defects influence the properties and functionality of all crystalline materials. For instance, point defects participate in electronic (e.g. carrier generation and recombination) and optical (e.g. absorption and emission) processes critical…
The enhancement of the fill factor in the current generation of perovskite solar cells is the key for further efficiency improvement. Thus, methods to quantify the fill factor losses are urgently needed. A classical method to quantify Ohmic…
Enhancing the absorption and emission of electromagnetic waves over a broad range of wavelengths is a topic of fundamental and applied interest in photonics and energy research. In the context of light trapping in solar cells, for example,…
The 2D/3D construction of hybrid perovskite interfaces is gaining increasing attention due to their enhanced stability towards degradation without compromising the corresponding solar cell efficiency. Much of it is due to the interfacial…
We propose herein a method of material-structure integrated design for broadband absorption of dielectric metamaterial, which is achieved by combination of genetic algorithm and simulation platform. A multi-layered metamaterial absorber…
Understanding the maximal enhancement of solar absorption in semiconductor materials by light trapping promises the development of affordable solar cells. However, the conventional Lambertian limit is only valid for idealized material…
Heterostructures based on atomically thin semiconductors are considered a promising emerging technology for the realization of ultrathin and ultralight photovoltaic solar cells on flexible substrates. Much progress has been made in recent…
Hybrid Lead halide perovskites, despite having unique intrinsic properties with the possibility of flexible synthesis and device fabrication, still suffer from two fundamental issues, i.e. stability in external environment and toxicity due…
Emerging colloidal quantum dot (cQD) photodetectors currently challenge established state-of-the-art infrared photodetectors in response speed, spectral tunability, simplicity of solution processable fabrication, and integration onto curved…
Halide perovskite solar cells presented a unique opportunity to apply modern computational materials science techniques to an (initially) poorly understood new material. In this review, we recount the key understanding developed during the…
Delamination is a critical mode of failure that occurs between plies in a composite laminate. The cohesive element, developed based on the cohesive zone model, is widely used for modeling delamination. However, standard cohesive elements…
The measurement and description of the charge-carrier lifetime (tauc) is crucial for the wide-ranging applications of lead-halide perovskites. We present time-resolved microwave-detected photoconductivity decay (TRMCD) measurements and a…
Layered lead halide A'2An-1PbnI3n+1 perovskites (2D LHPs) are attracting considerable attention as a more stable alternative with respect to APbI3 parent phases - a promising material for a new generation of solar cells. However, a critical…
We present a model for simulating performance of 3D nano -coaxial and -hemispherical thin film solar cells. The material system considered in these simulations is hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), with solar cells fabricated in an…
The study of topology in solids is undergoing a renaissance following renewed interest in the properties of ferroic domain walls as well as recent discoveries regarding topological insulators and skyrmionic lattices. Each of these systems…
We analysed self-consistently photoconversion efficiency of direct-gap A3B5 semicon-ductors based solar cells and optimised their main physical characteristics. Using gallium ar-senide (GaAs) as the example and new efficient optimization…
Geometric phase optical elements made of space-variant anisotropic media customarily find their optimal operating conditions when the half-wave retardance condition is fulfilled, which allows imparting polarization-dependent changes to an…
Negative capacitance at the low-frequency domain and inverted hysteresis are familiar features in perovskite solar cells, where the origin is still under discussion. Here we use Impedance Spectroscopy to analyse these responses in…
