Journal ArticleDOI
Broadband omnidirectional antireflection coating based on subwavelength surface Mie resonators
TL;DR: A two-dimensional periodic array of subwavelength silicon nanocylinders designed to possess strongly substrate-coupled Mie resonances yields almost zero total reflectance over the entire spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transparent Conducting Silver Nanowire Networks
TL;DR: The insights given in this paper provide the key guidelines for designing high-transmittance and low-resistance nanowire electrodes for optoelectronic devices, including thin-film solar cells and the general design principles to use the nanowires also as a light trapping scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmonic light trapping in thin-film Si solar cells
Pierpaolo Spinelli,Vivian E. Ferry,J. van de Groep,M. van Lare,Marc A. Verschuuren,Ruud E. I. Schropp,Harry A. Atwater,Albert Polman +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a back-contact light trapping surface for a-Si:H solar cells was designed and fabricated using a large-scale, relative inexpensive nano-imprint technique, which showed enhanced efficiency over standard randomly textured cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical impedance matching using coupled plasmonic nanoparticle arrays
TL;DR: This study identifies the parameters that determine the incoupling efficiency, including the effect of Fano resonances in the scattering, interparticle coupling, as well as resonance shifts due to variations in the near-field coupling to the substrate and spacer layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects of near-field plasmonic absorption enhancement in semiconductor materials using embedded Ag nanoparticles.
Pierpaolo Spinelli,Albert Polman +1 more
TL;DR: Crystalline Si cannot be sensitized with Ag nanoparticles in a practical way, and the thickness of some semiconductor materials can be reduced while keeping the same absorbance, which has benefits for materials with short carrier diffusion lengths.
