Advanced Concepts for Photovoltaic Cells

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

Novel approaches to high efficiency photovoltaic cells are discussed that are based on the use of semiconductor quantum dots to slow hot electron cooling and thus produce either enhanced photocurrents through impact ionization or enhanced photovoltages through hot electron transport and collection.
