We review the basic physics and applications of a special class of planar metamaterials,
often called metasurfaces, which are composed of optically thin and densely packed planar …

Basic aspects of current solar photovoltaics (PVs) are reviewed, starting from the recently
developed already-on-the-market first-generation solar cells and ending with promising but …

Demand for renewable energy continually increases due to environmental pollution and
resource depletion caused by the increased use of fossil fuels. Among the various …

From tandem solar cell we expect a wide absorption range due to different bandgaps of the
subcells, higher open circuit voltage V oc and finally better photo conversion efficiency η …

Ultrabroadband and wide-angle antireflection coatings (ARCs) are essential to realizing
efficiency gains for state-of-the-art multijunction photovoltaic devices. In this study, we …

We suggest a new type of efficient light-trap** structures for thin-film solar cells based on
arrays of planar nanoantennas operating far from their plasmon resonances. The operation …

Ultra-thin photovoltaics offer the potential for increasing efficiency while minimizing costs.
However, a suitable light trap** strategy is needed to reach the optically thick regime for …
