• An 18.2%-efficient black-silicon solar cell achieved through control of carrier recombination in nanostructures. (2012, background): “Equation (2) explicitly includes recombination terms reflecting the high surface area of the nanostructures at the front surface, and the back surface is still treated as a polished surface.”
• Optimization of moth‐eye antireflection schemes for silicon solar cells (2010, background): “report textured surfaces with reflectance less than 5% across the wavelength range of 350–1000 nm, with feature heights of only 200–250 nm [17,19].”
• Strong broadband optical absorption in silicon nanowire films (2007, result): “Similar results have been shown for nanopatterned bulk Si substrates [12,13] and random nanostructured Si features [14,15].”
