摘要: Materials with one-dimensional quantum structures are promising for their application in solar cells. The photo-voltage generation of these is caused by spatial separation electron-hole pairs a built-in electric field the GaAs p-i-n junction. The InGaAs/GaAs sample shows significantly higher photo-voltage the spectral range 1.25-1.37 eV, as compared to reference p-n junction, due interband transitions the quantum wires (QWRs).
