Graded Carrier Concentration Absorber Profile for High Efficiency CIGS Solar Cells by Antonino Parisi, Riccardo Pernice, Vincenzo Rocca, Luciano Curcio, Salvatore Stivala, Alfonso C. Cino, Giovanni Cipriani, Vincenzo Di Dio, Giuseppe Ricco Galluzzo, Rosario Miceli, Alessandro C. Busacca

“…Our results show that, in uniform CIGS cell, the efficiency, the open circuit voltage, and short circuit current heavily depend on CIGS band gap. Our numerical analysis highlights that the band gap value of 1.40 eV is optimal, but both the presence of Molybdenum back contact and the high carrier recombination near the junction noticeably reduce the crucial electrical parameters. …”

Interface Acoustic Waves in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/Overcoat Structures by Cinzia Caliendo, Massimiliano Benetti, Domenico Cannatà, Farouk Laidoudi, Gaetana Petrone

“…Three-dimensional finite element method analysis was performed using Comsol Multiphysics software to design an optimized multilayer configuration able to achieve an efficient guiding effect of the IAW at the LiNbO₃/overcoat interface. Numerical analysis results showed the following: (i) an overcoat faster than the piezoelectric half-space ensures that the wave propagation is confined mainly close to the surface of the LiNbO₃, although with minimal scattering in the overcoat; (ii) the presence of the SU-8, in addition to performing the essential function of an adhesive layer, can also promote the trapping of the acoustic energy toward the surface of the piezoelectric substrate; and (iii) the electromechanical coupling efficiency of the IAW is very close to that of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) along the bare LiNbO₃ half-space. …”
