Abstract:In order to improve wafer based silicon solar cell performance with even lower costs, new methods for manufacturing the material are constantly being developed. One approach is to use low cost block casting to make material with primarily monocrystalline character, called mono‐like silicon. Unfortunately, crystal faults readily form and multiply in this structure. These cause the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers lowering the efficiency of solar cells. The socalled D‐line emissions are four lumin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
