Abstract:
The optimal morphology of nanotextured interfaces, which increase the photocurrent density of thin-film solar cells, is still an open question. While random morphologies have the advantage to scatter light into a broad angular range, they are more difficult to assess with Maxwell solvers, such as the finite-element method (FEM). With this study we aim to identify necessary requirements on the unit cell design for the accurate simulation of nanotextured thin-film solar cells with FEM.
