“…In other words, resonance conditions occur when the frequency of the field applied to the surface is the same as the intrinsic frequency of surface plasmons. Dielectric or plasmonic nanoparticles 22 – 26 and nanowires (NWs) 27 – 30 are common structures used. Since the efficiency of absorption of Si is smaller and close to its band gap, these light-trapping structures should be able to absorb and increase the red and IR parts of the solar spectrum.…”

.The effects of geometry and horizontal positioning of ultrathin triangular silicon nanowires (SiNWs) on the function of solar cells (SCs) have been investigated. Two differentiated methods have been presented to improve the current density of SiNW-SCs. First, a semiperiodic array is used for better utilization of the optical antenna effect. In the second method, several NWs with different geometries are used to achieve broadband absorption. The key to increase absorption is irregularity. Therefore, maximum light absorption is achieved by introducing irregular NWs. A set of optimized irregular NWs have better properties compared to other broadband structures. Using irregular NW arrays, the increase in the absorption of SCs can be improved without applying more absorbent materials. Optimization processes are used to obtain the maximum current density of SCs.
