Strength of Silicon Single-Crystal Wafers for Solar Cells
Abstract We consider methods for measuring strength characteristics of brittle materials under axisymmetric bending, for example, of a silicon single crystal obtained by crystallization from melt by the Czochralski method. This material in the form of thin (80–200 μm) wafers is used in most high-efficiency solar cells with efficiency …

We propose a design that increases significantly the absorption of a thin layer of absorbing material such as amorphous silicon. This is achieved by patterning a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) in this layer. Indeed, by coupling the incident light into slow Bloch modes of the 1DPC, we can control the photon lifetime and then, enhance the absorption …
