“…The current leakage in the MCS solar cells is correlated to their grain bounds and it is most probable that recombination will occur [5]. Thus, it is possible to say that an important issue of research in MCS solar cells is the necessity of introducing these effects in an accurate model to describe the physical effects of the grain boundaries [6].…”

Recently, the use of multi-crystalline silicon solar cells (MCSSCs) has been increasing worldwide. This work proposes a novel MCSSC pattern for achieving a more accurate emulation of the electrical behavior of solar cells. Specifically, this pattern is dependent on the modification of the double diode model of MCSSCs. Importantly, the proposed pattern has an extra diode compared to the previously modified double-diode model (MDDM) described in the literature for considering the defect region of MCSSC to form a modified three diode model (MTDM). For estimating the parameters of the proposed MTDM, two metaheuristic algorithms called closed-loop particle swarm optimization (CLPSO) and elephant herd optimization (EHO) are developed, which have superior convergence rates. The competitive algorithms are executed on experimental data based on a MCSSC of area 7.7 cm2 from Q6-1380 and CS6P-240P solar modules under different irradiance and temperature levels for both MDDM and MTDM. Also, the proposed elephant herd optimization soft paradigm is extended for a high irradiance level at 1000 W/m2 on an R.T.C. France Solar cell. The proposed new optimization models are more efficient in dealing with the natural characteristics of the MCSSC. The simulation results show that the MTDM gives more accurate solutions as a model to the MCSSC compared with the results reported in the literature. From the viewpoint of soft computing paradigms, the EHO outperforms CLPSO in terms of the solution quality and convergence rates.

“…These resonance characteristics are highly dependent on the size, morphology and composition of nanostructures. Many wide band gap semiconductors such as ZnO, CdS, GaN, TiO 2 are being investigated for many applications for sensing applications [5][6][7][8]. ZnO is one of the main promising candidates due to its attractive optical and electrical properties and spontaneous polarizability.…”

ZnO nanostructures have generated interest for a wide range of applications due to their unique optical and electrical properties. Especially, the spontaneous polarization in the ZnO nanostructure which produces a permanent strong static electric field that can be applied to many studies. Also, their strong polarizability makes them potential candidates for many applications such as ion channel modulation, photodetector and LEDs in UV range. In this paper, the plasmonic enhancement of the induced electric field produced from ZnO nanostructures is computed by numerical analysis.
