Abstract :
By combining Finite-Difference-Time-Domain simulations and the detailed-balance model of solar cell, we study how absorption efficiency determines the short circuit current density, Jsc, of single vertical nanowire (NW) solar cells. We find that due to the very high absorption efficiency, vertical NW delivers Jsc that are one order of magnitude higher than planar solar cells.
