Journal ArticleDOI
Recent results for single‐junction and tandem quantum well solar cells
J.G.J. Adams,B. C. Browne,Ian Ballard,James P. Connolly,Ngai Lam Alvin Chan,A. Ioannides,W. Elder,Paul N. Stavrinou,Keith W. J. Barnham,Nicholas J. Ekins-Daukes +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single-junction strain-balanced quantum well solar cell (SB-QWSC) has achieved an efficiency of 28.3% in the presence of radiative recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conductance features in point contact Andreev reflection spectra.
Vincent Baltz,A. D. Naylor,K M Seemann,W. Elder,S Sheen,Kurt Westerholt,Hartmut Zabel,Gavin Burnell,Christopher H. Marrows,B. J. Hickey +9 more
TL;DR: This paper isolates some of the unwanted features in the conductance of PCAR spectra and shows that any further extraction of the spin polarization from these non-ideal spectra proves unreliable.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Higher limiting efficiencies for nanostructured solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tailor the band gap of the strain-balanced quantum well solar cell to match the local solar spectral conditions by altering the quantum well depth, which has led to a recent single-junction world-record efficiency of 28.3%.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental measurement of restricted radiative emission in quantum well solar cells
J.G.J. Adams,W. Elder,Paul N. Stavrinou,J.S. Roberts,María Victoria González,Joseph G. Tischler,Robert J. Walters,J. Abell,Igor Vurgaftman,Jerry R. Meyer,Phillip P. Jenkins,Keith W. J. Barnham,Nicholas J. Ekins-Daukes +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first experimental data showing a restriction of the radiative recombination in strain-balanced quantum well solar cells, which arises due to the combined effects of quantum confinement and strain splitting the valence band in the quantum wells into heavy and light hole sub-bands.
