Numerical Simulation of Carbon NanotubesGaAs Hybrid PV Devices with AMPS-1D

Abstract EN

The performance and characteristics of a hybrid heterojunction single-walled carbon nanotube and GaAs solar cell are modelled and numerically simulated using AMPS-1D device simulation tool.

The device physics and performance with different junction parameters are analysed.

The results suggest that the open-circuit voltage changes very slightly by changing the electron affinity, acceptor and donor density while the other electrical parameters reach an optimum value.

Increasing the concentration of a discrete defect density in the absorber layer decreases the electrical parameters.

The current-voltage characteristics, quantum efficiency, band gap, and thickness variation of the photovoltaic response will be quantitatively considered.
