Amorphous Silicon-Based Solar Cells
Xunming Deng,Eric A. Schiff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the diamond lattice of crystal silicon as a regular array or lattices, which must be consistent with the underlying chemical bonding properties of the atoms, such as the four covalent bonds of a silicon atom.

Fabrication of thin film silicon solar cells on plastic substrate by very high frequency PECVD
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the way to transfer process technology of state-of-the-art high efficiency thin film silicon solar cells fabrication on cheap plastic (such as PET or PEN) substrates, by two completely different approaches: (i) by transfer process (Helianthos concept) of thin-film silicon cells deposited at high substrate temperature, T s (∼200 ǫ) and (ii) direct deposition on temperature sensitive substrates at low T s(∼100 ǔ)

Quantum confinement in Si nanocrystals
Bernard Delley,E. F. Steigmeier +1 more
TL;DR: The electronic structure of nanocrystalline Si which shows visible photoluminescence is calculated using the density-functional approach for finite structures, and results for clusters suggest that the band gap scales linearly with L, where L is the cluster diameter.
