Find out how solar cells power a good portion of homes today—and how they might power almost everything in the future.

OxStu explores how the structure of glass makes it ubiquitous in everyday life and why we are still exploring its use.

Impact Statement: We present in the paper a physical model for the carrier multiplication phenomenon in disordered materials (e.g. amorphous silicon). The model explains quantitatively and from the ...

Abstract: In this letter, we propose an amorphous-silicon (a-Si) solar cell with a nanowire-array structure. The proposed structure has photon absorption and carrier transport that are perpendicular ...

Here, we demonstrate an example of such hybrid PV structures that combine colloidal NCs with amorphous silicon. In these structures, NCs and silicon are electronically coupled, and the regime of this ...
