Computational Modeling of Novel Bulk Materials for the Intermediate-Band Solar Cells
(Journal article, 2017)Research communities have been studying materials with intermediate bands (IBs) in the middle of the band gap to produce efficient solar cells. Cells based on these materials could reach theoretical efficiencies up to ... -
Hybrid Density Functional Study of Au2Cs2I6, Ag2GeBaS4, Ag2ZnSnS4, and AgCuPO4 for the Intermediate Band Solar Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present a comprehensive investigation of the structural, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties of four promising candidates, namely Au2Cs2I6, Ag2GeBaS4, Ag2ZnSnS4, and AgCuPO4, for application in photovoltaic ... -
Materials and simulation modelling of a crash-beam performance - A comparison study showing the potential for weight saving using warm-formed ultra-high strength aluminium alloys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Forming complex parts out of high and ultra-high strength aluminium alloys has proved to be more challenging in comparison to the currently used deep drawing steels. The novel "Warmforming-Process" offers the potential to ... -
Polymer/Fullerene Blend Solar Cells with Cadmium Sulfide Thin Film as an Alternative Hole-Blocking Layer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In this work, chemical bath-deposited cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films were employed as an alternative hole-blocking layer for inverted poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) bulk ... -
Properties of novel non-silicon materials for photovoltaic applications: A first-principle insight
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Due to the low absorption coefficients of crystalline silicon-based solar cells, researchers have focused on non-silicon semiconductors with direct band gaps for the development of novel photovoltaic devices. In this study, ...
