“…In particular, in the field of PV, local scale C-AFM investigations (in dark and illuminated conditions) have demonstrated added value in understanding charge transport and in improving the performance of the final device. Numerous C-AFM studies have been carried out on different solar cell configurations (planar, nanowires, cross-section, …) and in particular, on the layers or structures of which they are composed [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. In this work, the C-AFM method will be used to directly probe the photovoltaic properties of nanojunctions formed in a c-Si wafer.…”
