In this work, a GaAs-based quantum well solar cell with a 25-layer InAs/GaAs intermediate layer is simulated in Silvaco Atlas TCAD software. In order to reduce the recombination caused by the presence of the quantum layers and increase the absorption of photons, electron blocking layers (EBLs) and hole blocking layers (HBLs) have been added to the solar cell in an In 0.5 (Al 0.7 Ga 0.3) 0.5 P semiconductor. The results show that the efficiency of the proposed solar cell increases 17.38% by obtaining impurity the thickness and doping of the EBL and HBL layers. It can be concluded that the use of the In 0.5 (Al 0.7 Ga 0.3) 0.5 P semiconductor with EBL and HBL layers decreases the open circuit voltage (V oc) caused in the quantum wells. The efficiency of the proposed solar cell with EBL and HBL layers was found to be 44.65%.

The impact of the built‐in electric field on the emission characteristics of an InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) laser structure is investigated by performing systematic spectroscopic measurements. Photoluminescence (PL) features related to the ground state (GS) and excited state (ES) transitions of a QD ensemble are clearly observed in the temperature range of 8–300 K. The cross‐sectional transmission electron microscopy image and a systematic analysis of temperature‐dependent PL data confirm the excellent crystalline and optical quality of the QD laser structure. It is found that the values of the activation energy associated with GS and ES transitions of the QD sample reasonably match with the energy splitting of PL features. This successfully explains the trends observed in temperature‐dependent PL spectra, where thermal transfer of carriers to the wetting/barrier layer via QD excited states is proposed to be a major decay channel. An interesting observation is made where the integrated intensity of PL features increases up to 75 K and falls thereafter during the heating cycle. Such a peak‐like behavior of the integrated intensity is explained by invoking the temperature dependence of the built‐in electric field, which is estimated from the analysis of Franz–Keldysh oscillations observed in photoreflectance spectra and is important in the design of QD lasers.

Solar energy is the most convenient and reliable energy source among all renewable energy resources and an efficient photovoltaic device is required to convert this energy into utilizable energy. Different types of solar cells (SC) are commercially available. However, various parameters need to be optimized to get maximum efficiency from a SC. In this study we have presented a SC model in which dependence of quantum efficiency (QE) on various parameters has been investigated. The mobility of the carriers has been varied with wide range along with the carrier life time (LT). Results show that maximum efficiencies can be achieved up to 11.10% and 10.81% keeping the electron and hole mobility to be 1500 cm 2 V -1 s -1 and 300 cm 2 V -1 s -1 respectively with electron and hole carrier LT to be 3ns and 7ns respectively. The effect of surface recombination velocity (SRV) has also been brought under observation and the maximum efficiency is found to be 13.75% at electron and hole SRV equal to be 10 3 ms -1 . Results shows that the higher photovoltaic efficiencies can be achieved by increasing the mobility and carrier LT while decreasing the surface recombination velocities.
