A wide-band (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotube metamaterial absorber design with near unity absorption in the visible and ultraviolet frequency regions for solar cell applications is proposed. The frequency response of the proposed design provides wide-band with a maximum of 99.2% absorption. The proposed design is also simulated with (5,4), (6,4), (7,5), (9,4), and (10,3) chiralities, and results are compared to show that the proposed design works best with (6,5) carbon nanotube (CNT) but also good for other chiral CNTs in the visible and ultraviolet frequency region. The geometric structure was carefully analyzed for its contribution to the absorption behavior. The absorber design is highly flexible and capable of keeping the wide-band with high absorption. Due to the excellent symmetric characteristics of the proposed design, which provides polarization independency under normal incidence (transverse electromagnetic mode), the proposed metamaterial absorber is a good candidate for the solar cell application, where absorbance can be kept high with respect to the polarization angle.

Dual-band high-frequency metamaterial absorber based on patch resonator for solar cell applications and its enhancement with graphene layers
Ustunsoy, Mehmet Pasa; Sabah, Cumali (2016-12-05)
In this paper, a dual-band high-frequency metamaterial absorber based on patch resonator is designed and analyzed for solar cells. In order to obtain a metamaterial absorber, metal-semiconductor-metal layers are combined. The results of the designed structure are shown in the infrared and visible ranges of solar spectrum. Structural parameters and dimensions of the device have a significant importance on the performance of the designed absorber. The simulations are carried out with full-wave electromagnetic...
Polymer light emitting diodes and organic solar cells towards ito free devices and high efficiency devices using electrochemically synthesized polymers /
Hızalan Özsoy, Gönül; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2017)
In this study, polymer based solar cells and polymer based light emitting diodes were constructed. In the third and fourth chapters of this study, effect of terminal units and effect of molecular weight on electroluminescence and photovoltaic properties were investigated. Triphenyl end capped polymer P1 based PLED shows luminance value of 10411cd/m2 at 8.5V whereas benzene end capped polymer P2 based PLED has the peak luminance value of 14583cd/m2 at 8V. P2 based photovoltaic devices exhibited superior perf...
Radial junction solar cells prepared on single crystalline silicon wafers by metal-assisted etching
BAYTEMİR, Gulsen; ES, FIRAT; ALAGOZ, Arif Sinan; Turan, Raşit (2017-05-01)
Radial junction solar cells have been proposed as an alternative device geometry to conventional planar solar cells with its remarkable electrical and optical performance. In this geometry, densely packed nano/micropillars allow minority carrier collection in the radial direction and shorten carrier diffusion length to p-n junction. Besides, reduced reflection from surface and increased light trapping in nano/micropillars enhance solar cell efficiency. In this study, photolithography and metal-assisted etch...
Tunable Graphene Integrated Perfect Metamaterial Absorber for Energy Harvesting and Visible Light Communication
Sabah, Cumali (2018-02-09)
Tunable graphene integrated metamaterial absorber is proposed for energy harvesting and visible light communication. The structure provides unity absorption in the visible spectrum in which it can be used perfect absorber for energy harvesting. In addition, it also provides tunability because of the graphene conductivity to be used as photoconductive or thermal switch for visible light communication.
PASSIVATION OF SILICON SOLAR CELLS VIA LOW TEMPERATURE WET CHEMICAL OXIDATION
KÖKBUDAK, GAMZE; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; DEMİRCİOĞLU, OLGU; Turan, Raşit (2016-12-01)
In the development of high efficiency crystalline Si solar cells, decreasing bulk and surface recombination velocities of the minority carriers is vital. As the bulk recombination could be suppressed by enhancing the material quality, the effect of surface recombination on cell performance becomes more dominant. Also, recent studies have revealed that the area under the metal contacted region needs to be passivated to minimize the carrier recombination. The passivation of front and back surface of the cell ...
