Sub-wavelength antireflection moth-eye structures were fabricated with Nickel mold using
Roll-to-Plate (R2P) ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) on transparent …

Broadband antireflection (AR) is essential for improving the photocurrent generation of
photovoltaic modules or the enhancement of visibility in optical devices. Beyond …

Thermochromic smart windows are optical devices that can regulate their optical properties
actively in response to external temperature changes. Due to their simple structures and as …

We present a leaf-inspired biomimetic omnidirectional photon management scheme for
ultrathin flexible graphene silicon Schottky junction solar cell. An all-dielectric approach …

There are a range of different methods to generate a nanostructured surface on silicon (Si)
