Abstract

Transmission coefficient of an electron incident on a heterostructure potential with nanometer-thick trapezoidal barrier grown on anisotropic materials are derived by solving the effective-mass equation including off-diagonal effective-mass tensor elements. The boundary condition for an electron wave function (under the effective-mass approximation) at a heterostructure anisotropic junction is suggested and included in the calculation. The analytic expressions are applied to the Si(110)/Si0.5Ge0.5/Si(110) heterostructure, in which the SiGe barrier thickness is several nanometers. It is assumed that the direction of propagation of the electrons makes an arbitrary angle with respect to the interfaces of the heterostructure and the effective mass of the electron is position dependent. The transmission coefficient is calculated for energy below the barrier height, varying the applied voltage to the barrier. The transmission coefficient depends on the valley where the electron belongs and it is not symmetric with respect to the incidence angle.

Abstract

A simple method is proposed to develop a low-cost TiO2/CuO/Cu based solar cell. The cell is made by employing a lower grade (technical grade) of TiO2 as the active material. CuO powder is synthesized using a wet chemical method and mixed with TiO2 powder to give impurity to the TiO2. A layer of TiO2/CuO is then deposited onto fluorin-doped tin oxide (FTO) by spraying. Copper particles are grown on the spaces between the TiO2 and/or CuO particles by electroplating for more feasible electron migration. The TiO2/CuO/Cu solar cell is finalized by sandwiching a polymer electrolyte between the film and the counter electrode. Current-voltage measurement was performed for various parameters, such as the molarity of NaOH for producing CuO particles, the weight ratio of CuO over TiO2, and the current in the electroplating process. A highest efficiency of 1.40% and a fill factor of 0.37 were achieved by using this combined spray and electroplating method.
