Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum well solar cells
Keith W. J. Barnham,Ian Ballard,J. Barnes,James P. Connolly,Paul Griffin,Benjamin Kluftinger,Jenny Nelson,E. S. M. Tsui,Alexander Zachariou +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential advantages of quantum wells for enhancing solar cell efficiency were discussed and theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to determine the quasi-Fermi level separation in quantum wells inside a p-i-n system in order to understand the voltage behaviour of QWSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voltage enhancement in quantum well solar cells
Keith W. J. Barnham,James P. Connolly,Paul Griffin,G. Haarpaintner,Jenny Nelson,E. S. M. Tsui,Alexander Zachariou,Jane Osborne,C.C. Button,Geoff Hill,Mark Hopkinson,M. A. Pate,J.S. Roberts,Tom Foxon +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report measurements of the dark-current and open-circuit voltage of a number of quantum well cells in three different lattice matched material systems, namely, Al0.35Ga0.65As/GaAs, GaInP/GaA, and InP/InGaAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A carrier escape study from InP/InGaAs single quantum well solar cells
Alexander Zachariou,J. Barnes,K. W. J. Barnham,Jenny Nelson,E. S. M. Tsui,J.E. Epler,M. A. Pate +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the activation energy for carrier escape from InP/AlGaAs single quantum well structures was measured by means of simultaneous steady state photocurrent and photoluminescence measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of quantum well solar cells to thermophotovoltaics
Paul Griffin,Ian Ballard,Keith W. J. Barnham,Jenny Nelson,Alexander Zachariou,J.E. Epler,Geoff Hill,C.C. Button,M. A. Pate +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages of quantum well solar cells (QWSCs) for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) applications were discussed and illustrated with InP/InGaAs and GaInAsP/inGaAs QWSC.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new approach to p-doping and the observation of efficiency enhancement in InP/InGaAs quantum well solar cells
Alexander Zachariou,Keith W. J. Barnham,Paul Griffin,Jenny Nelson,C.C. Button,Mark Hopkinson,M. A. Pate,J.E. Epler +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, lattice matched InP/In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As multiple quantum well solar cells (QWSCs) are used, which allows the dopant to diffuse from a highly doped InGaAs cap into an underlying InP layer which has no deliberate doping.
