Radiation-hard silicon sensors used in high-energy physics require a high electric field and are susceptible to surface breakdown. This study aims to improve the understanding of the underlying mechanisms by developing new methods to probe…
Nanoscale silicon p(+)-n junctions with very high concentration of boron, 5 10^21 cm-3, are found to demonstrate interesting optical properties. Emission band dominated in near-infrared electroluminescence (EL) spectra possesses high degree…
Simulations of metal nanopatterns embedded in a thin photovoltaic absorber show significantly enhanced absorbance within the semiconductor, with a more than 300% increase for {\lambda} = 800 nm. Integrating with AM1.5 solar irradiation,…
Multi-junction solar cells provide a path to overcome the efficiency limits of standard silicon solar cells by harvesting more efficiently a broader range of the solar spectrum. However, Si-based multi-junction architectures are hindered by…
Topological insulators are characterized by Dirac cone surface states with electron spins aligned in the surface plane and perpendicular to their momenta. Recent theoretical and experimental work implied that this specific spin texture…
It is currently possible to fabricate crystalline silicon solar cells with the absorber thickness ranging from a few hundreds of micrometers (conventional wafer-based cells) to devices as thin as $1\,\mu\mathrm{m}$. In this work, we use a…

When the sulfur element is hyperdoped into crystalline silicon to a supersaturated density of 1020 cm-3, it can enhance the sub-bandgap light absorption of silicon from 0 to 70%, with the antireflection of surface dome structures. On the…
Recently, liquid-phase crystallization of thin silicon films has emerged as a promising candidate for thin-film photovoltaics. On 10 \mu m thin absorbers, wafer-equivalent morphologies and open-circuit voltages were reached, leading to a…
