Mode coupling by plasmonic surface scatterers in thin-film silicon solar cells

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate effective mode coupling by light scattering from periodic Ag nanoparticle arrays printed onto a completed anti-reflection-coated thin-film a-Si:H solar cell. The photocurrent is enhanced by 10% compared to a flat reference cell.
