AbstractThe optical properties of microcrystalline silicon (µc-Si) were estimated using the EMA (Effective Medium Approximation) method. This modeling was based on two-phase mixture, amorphous silicon (a-Si) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) with volume fractions of fa and fc respectively. From this modeling, it could be possible to understand thatµc-Si has lower light absorption characteristics than a-Si over all solar spectrum by considering hydrogen involvement in embedded a-Si part of iic-Si and crystalline volume fraction. Also, it is proposed that p-type pe- Si is superior to n-type tic-Si because of its high optical gap of Eo4 and its low absorption coefficient spectrum shape.

ABSTRACTOptical properties of ZnO-CdTe electrochemically prepared on a core-shell nanostructure (NS) were studied. Numerical simulations based on effective medium approximation give higher absorption than ZnO-CdS samples and a sensitive dependence on CdTe content. The absorption edges for deep black samples found by transmittance (T(λ)) and diffuse reflectance (Rdiff(λ)) measurements were at 1.33eV and 1.55eV, respectively. A split-off band edge was also found by Rdiff(λ) at ∼2.5eV. The red shift observed in T(λ), previously observed in ZnO-CdS, and may confirm the enhancement of sub-bandgap absorption due to the NS nature of samples.
