Additional information
Thin film crystalline silicon offers considerable promise for low cost, high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) devices if its optical absorption properties can be enhanced by effective light trapping strategies. This study has shown how light scattering into a silicon layer can be enhanced by optimising the way plasmonic nanoparticles are placed at the rear interface. The work offers a potential route to improved light trapping and efficiency not only in silicon but also in other thin film solar cell technologies. It also has applications in producing more efficient fluorescent solar collectors for high efficiency photovoltaics.
