Optical performance analysis of InP nanostructures for photovoltaic applications.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we have performed a comparative analysis of six different types of nanostructures that can improve photon management for photovoltaic applications. These nanostructures act as anti-reflective structures by improving the absorption characteristics and tailoring the optoelectronic properties of the associated devices. The absorption enhancement in indium phosphide (InP) and silicon (Si) based cylindrical nanowires (CNWs) and rectangular nanowires (RNWs), truncated nanocones (TNCs), truncated nanopyramids (TNPs), inverted truncated nanocones (ITNCs), and inverted truncated nanopyramids (ITNPs) are computed using the finite element method (FEM) based commercial COMSOL Multiphysics package. The influence of geometrical dimensions of the investigated nanostructures such as perio
