Quantum Efficiency Measurements of Down-Shifting Using Silicon Nanocrystals for Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract
Silicon nanocrystal (Si-NC) luminescent downshifting materials for photovoltaic (PV) applications were fabricated by ion implantation and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The absolute optical conversion efficiency of the Si-NC-emitted photoluminescence was measured using conventional methods, and an optical set-up involving an integrating sphere. Modeling shows that down-shifting the light incident on a single-junction silicon …
