Optical properties of coupled metallic particles (MNPs) have been widely reported due to their unique characteristics such as peak shift/splitting of the coupling spectra and electromagnetic enhancement at sub-wavelength scale, etc. In a…
Fundamental working mechanisms of perovskite solar cells remain an elusive topic of research. Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) application to perovskite-based devices generates uncommon features and misleading outputs, mainly due to the lack of…
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) are shown to behave as coupled ionic-electronic conductors with strong evidence that the ionic environment moderates both the rate of electron-hole recombination and the band offsets in planar PSC. Numerous…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes show extraordinary electronic and optical properties, such as high charge carrier mobilities and diameter-dependent near-infrared photoluminescence. The introduction of sp3 defects in the carbon…
A model of an organic solar cell based on a Tamm plasmon polariton localized at the interface between a photonic crystal and a photosensitive layer with an embedded square or hexagonal plasmonic array has been proposed. The spectral…

By means of ab-initio calculations we investigate the optical properties of pure a-SiN$_x$ samples, with $x \in [0.4, 1.8]$, and samples embedding silicon nanoclusters (NCs) of diameter $0.5 \leq d \leq 1.0$ nm. In the pure samples the…
We present a model to describe the spatiotemporal evolution of guided modes in semiconductor nanowires based on a coupled mode formalism. Light-matter interaction is modelled based on semiconductor Bloch equations, including many-particle…
Formation of twin boundaries during the growth of semiconductor nanowires is very common. However, the effects of such planar defects on the electronic and optical properties of nanowires are not very well understood. Here, we use a…

We calculate the maximal absorption enhancement obtainable by guided mode excitation in a weakly absorbing dielectric slab over wide wavelength ranges. The slab mimics thin film silicon solar cells in the low absorption regime. We consider…
We derive the photovoltaic conversion efficiency limit for two-terminal tandem solar cells with a perovskite top cell and silicon bottom cell with an embedded spectrum splitter. For large-bandgap top-cells a spectrum splitter strongly…
The photovoltaic reciprocity theory relates the electroluminescence spectrum of a solar cell under applied bias to the external photovoltaic quantum efficiency of the device as measured at short circuit conditions. Its derivation is based…

Halide perovskites perform remarkably in optoelectronic devices including tandem photovoltaics. However, this exceptional performance is striking given that perovskites exhibit deep charge carrier traps and spatial compositional and…
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have become a growing research interest due to their flexibility, attractive properties, and low production cost. However, the thin-film structure of PSC often results in a not fully absorbed incident light by…
