Numerical simulation of nano and microstructured photovoltaic materials be means radiation transport software may become quite resource-intensive due to poor convergence of the applied optical -properties estimation method. In this paper, applicability of the geometrical optics approximation to microstructure-property modeling was illustrated by mutual comparison of the results of Monte-Carlo simulation in 3D POKS-RG program with a number of available experimental data about optical properties of nano- and microstructures.Numerical simulation accounting peculiar roughness of the surfase as a side effect of etching in microfabrication were in acceptable agreement with the experimental results. The furher analysis revealed essential influence of substrate surfase roughness onto the absorption of the incident light. The aforementioned peculiarity results in nonuniform structure-height distribution of change carriers and might partially cause the modest efficiency of radial p-n junction solar gells.

Real world groundwater aquifers are heterogeneous and system variables are not uniformly distributed across the aquifer. Therefore, in the modelling of the contaminant transport, we need to consider the uncertainty associated with the system. Unny presented a method to describe the system by stochastic differential equations and then to estimate the parameters by using the maximum likelihood approach. In this paper, this method was explored by using artificial and experimental data. First a set of data was used to explore the effect of system noise on estimated parameters. The experimental data was used to compare the estimated parameters with the calibrated results. Estimates obtained from artificial data show reasonable accuracy when the system noise is present. The accuracy of the estimates has an inverse relationship to the noise. Hydraulic conductivity estimates in a one-parameter situation give more accurate results than in a two-parameter situation. The effect of the noise on estimates of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient is less compared to the effect on hydraulic conductivity estimates. Comparison of the results of the experimental dataset shows that estimates of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient are similar to the aquifer calibrated results. However, hydraulic conductivity does not provide a similar level of accuracy. The main advantage of the estimation method presented here is its direct dependence on field observations in the presence of reasonably large noise levels.

The optical properties of nanoparticle clusters vary with the spatial arrangement of the constituent particles, but also the overall orientation of the cluster with respect to the incident light. This...

Antireflection coating (ARC) prepared by a wet process is beneficial for low cost fabrication of photovoltaic cells. In this study, we investigated optical properties and morphologies of spin-coated TiO2ARCs on alkaline textured single-crystalline silicon wafers. Reflectance spectra of the spin-coated ARCs on alkaline textured silicon wafers exhibit no interferences and low reflectance values in the entire visible range. We modeled the structures of the spin-coated films for ray tracing numerical calculation and compared numerically calculated reflectance spectra with the experimental results. This is the first report to clarify the novel optical properties experimentally and theoretically. Optical properties of the spin-coated ARCs without interference are due to the fractional nonuniformity of the thickness of the spin-coated ARCs that cancels out the interference of the incident light.
