摘要: Quantum-wire intermediate-band solar cells (QW IBSCs) are good candidates for breaking the Shockley-Queisser limit; however, there a few studies of them. In this paper, we derive fundamental limiting efficiency (FLE), theoretical upper limit power-conversion efficiency, QW IBSCs by calculation intrinsic loss. To achieve this, based on photon-electron detailed-balance principle, loss components (ILCs) modeled in our considering photon absorption and emission two transverse directions confined carriers longitudinal direction free QWs. Furthermore, ILCs FLE investigated an experimental reported structure ${\mathrm{In}}_{x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{As}/\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{As}$ IBSC. For purpose, two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation Bloch approximation used to obtain placement width intermediate band, respectively. Besides, effect changing indium content, diagonal length, period QWs, which is way engineer band consequently FLE, examined.
