The present paper deals with the modeling of the simultaneous impact of temperature and applied hydrostatic pressure on the electronic characteristics and electrical parameters in In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN p-i-n solar cells. The energy conduction band is calculated with a self-consistent model coupled with the photovoltaic parameters taking into consideration the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations. A new efficient numerical model based on the difference finite method is well suited to theoretical and experimental data. The results reveal that the hydrostatic pressure has a beneficial effect on the behavior of cells on the N-face configuration, whereas the elevated temperature has a destructive impact on these devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
