Multilayer systems containing one layer from amorphous silicon (a-Si) are analyzed regarding the absorption of light and the distribution of the electrical field within them. The local electric field strength is derived from the intensity of the Raman lines of the a-Si. Suitable designed multilayer structures may provide more absorption of light in a layer of 55 nm and less than in bulk a-Si. Applications for thin layer solar cells are discussed.
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.
