DFT calculations of IR and Raman spectra of Ru(bpy)2(CN)2 complex

Minaev B.F., Minaeva V.A., Minaeva V.A., Agren H., Girtu M., Bogdan Khmelnitskij national University, UA

In order to understand mechanism of electron transfer in dye-sensitized solar cell based on organic-inorganic junction we have studied the role of vibronic perturbations in metal-to-ligand and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer states excitations and in electron [...]

Bulk Heterojunction Organic-Inorganic Photovoltaic Cell Based on Doped Silicon Nanowires

Goncher G., Noice L., Solanki R., Portland State University, US

A bulk heterojunction organic-inorganic photovoltaic cell was fabricated by growing doped n-type silicon nanowires on an n+ silicon substrate. A p-type organic semiconductor (P3HT) was then coated over the nanowires. The device was completed by [...]

Ultra-short pulsed laser for nano-texturation associated to plasma immersion implantation for 3D shallow doping : Application to silicon photovoltaic

Halbwax M., Sarnet T., Delaporte Ph., Sentis M., Etienne H., Torregrosa F., Vervisch V., Martinuzzi S., LP3 UMR CNRS 6182, FR

It has been shown in a recent past (Mazur et al) that a simple way to improve the silicon-based solar cells low efficiency (around 20%) is to irradiate the silicon surface with a series of [...]
