Plasmonic materials for energy: From physics to applications (2013, background): “ other SP modes, to electrons or converted into heat. These high DOS characteristics pave the way to a variety of potential applications of SPs, including light trapping in solar PV and TPV platforms [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22], light extraction in solid-state lighting [23, 24], undercooled boiling [25”
Graphene Schottky diodes: an experimental review of the rectifying graphene/semiconductor heterojunction (2015, background): “The EQE of the pristine cell is similar to state-of-the-art Si solar cells as expected since only Si absorbs and converts photons in e-h pairs [208].”
Plasmonic light trapping in thin-film Si solar cells (2012, background): “leads to reduced reflection over a broad spectral range [8–10].”
Light trapping in ultrathin plasmonic solar cells. (2010, unknown): “While strong enhancements of photocurrent have been reported in such solar cells for near-bandedge light, these are often offset by a reduced photocurrent in the blue part of the solar spectrum due to destructive Fano interference [18,21].”
Plasmonics for photovoltaic applications (2010, unknown): “3 at 1100 nm [39].”
