摘要:

我们评估的限制效率的全部和部分太阳光谱收集通过在金半导体肖特基结的内部光电发射过程。基于电子态密度(e-DOS)的从头计算结果表明,基于热电子注入的全谱金转换器的限制效率低于4%。这个值甚至低于先前建立的限制的基础上的Au电子能带的抛物线近似。然而,我们预测的限制效率超过10%的热空穴收集通过金和p型半导体之间的肖特基结。此外,我们证明,这样的转换器有更多的潜力,如果用作混合系统的一部分,用于收集太阳光谱的高能量和低能量的光子。

英文摘要:

We evaluate the limiting efficiency of full and partial solar spectrum harvesting via the process of internal photoemission in Au-semiconductor Schottky junctions. Our results based on the ab initio calculations of the electron density of states (e-DOS) reveal that the limiting efficiency of the full-spectrum Au converter based on hot electron injection is below 4%. This value is even lower than previously established limit based on the parabolic approximation of the Au electron energy bands. However, we predict limiting efficiency exceeding 10% for the hot holes collection through the Schottky junction between Au and p-type semiconductor. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such converters have more potential if used as a part of the hybrid system for harvesting high- and low-energy photons of the solar spectrum.
