Integration of an array of Ag nanoparticles in solar cells is expected to increase light trapping through field enhancement and plasmonic scattering. Requirement of Ag nanoparticle decoration of cell surfaces or interfaces at the macro-scale, calls for a self-organized fabrication method such as thermal dewetting. Optical properties of a 2D array of Ag nanoparticles are known to be very sensitive to their shape and size. We show that these parameters depend on the type of the substrate used. We observe that the average nanoparticle size decreases with increasing substrate thermal conductivity and nanoparticle size distribution broadens with increasing surface roughness.

Effect of Laser Parameters and Post-Texturing Treatments on the Optical and Electrical Properties of Laser Textured c-Si Wafers
RADFAR, Behrad; ES, FIRAT; NASSER, Hisham; AKDEMİR, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; Turan, Raşit (2018-03-21)
Surface plays a crucial role in the performance of crystalline silicon (cSi) based solar cells as it affects both electrical and optical properties. To minimize reflection from the flat surface and thus improve light trapping, the cSi wafers must be textured. For mono-cSi cells, anisotropic alkaline etchants are commonly utilized to create pyramids on the surface. However, this method is not viable for multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers due to the presence of different and random crystallographic orie...
Effect of porosity on the efficiency of DSSC produced by using nano size TiO2 powders
Bilgin, Nursev; Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (2014-01-01)
Gözenekliliğin, 20 nm ve 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinin farklı oranlarda karıştırılmasıyla oluşturulan pastalar kullanılarak hazırlanan boyaya duyarlı güneş pillerinin (DSSC'ler) enerji dönüşüm verimine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Macunların mikroyapısını incelemek için XRD ve SEM analizleri yapılmıştır. DSSC'lerin enerji dönüşüm verimliliği, tam akım yoğunluğu-voltaj eğrisi çizilerek belirlendi. Ağırlıkça% 40 20 nm ve ağırlıkça% 60 200 nm TiO2 partiküllerinden oluşan karışım kullanılarak hazırlanan DSSC,% 6.74'lü...
Effect of Laser Wavelength on AZO Surface Texturing by Direct Laser Processing / Patterning for Thin-Film Silicon Solar Cells Applications
Demircioğlu, Zeynep; Nasser, Hisham; Balog, Robert S.; Turan, Raşit (2018-01-01)
Surface texturing of transparent conductive oxides is crucial to improve the fraction of incident light trapped in the absorber layer of thin film silicon based solar cells to improve the device performance. In this work, we fabricate and compare periodic, overlapping, and random surface textures and patterns on aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) using direct laser processing. The effects of the used laser wavelength, laser operating frequency, and pulse periodicity on the structural, morphological, and optic...
Effects of Substrate Temperature on material characteristics of sputtered Aluminum doped ZnO thin films
Bayraklı, Özge; Emir, Cansu; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin; Parlak, Mehmet (null; 2016-09-23)
Transparent conductive layers (TCOs) attract the attention in opto-electronic and photovoltaic device applications due to their conductivity and transparency characteristics in the visible region of the solar spectrum. There are various TCO thin film layers, and indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) are the most popular thin films such as the desired material characteristics of SnO2and ZnO, respectively. In literature, the works indicated that the characteristics of these films can be c...
INFLUENCE OF EVEN NUCLEON NUMBERS AND CLOSED SHELLS ON MASS AND CHARGE-DISTRIBUTION IN LOW-ENERGY FISSION
BUYUKMUMCU, Z; ERTEN, HN; ARAS, NK (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-06-01)
Extensive experimental and evaluated yield data are now available for the fragments in low energy nuclear fission. Using these data we re-examined the influence of even nuclear numbers and closed shells on the mass and charge distribution in low energy fission. We used WAHL's Zp model and Ap model. We also examined the effects of Z = 50, N = 82 and possibly N = 88 shells. A new method was developed based on two Gaussian curves for the even and odd products. The EOZ and EON values calculated are based on the...
