First-principles calculations have been undertaken to theoretically model ultrathin SnX (X=
S, Se) nanowires (NWs). The formation energies of the ultrathin SnX NWs are negative and …

Light trapping in single nanowires (NWs) is of vital importance for photovoltaic applications.
However, circular NWs (CNWs) can limit their light-trapping ability due to high geometrical …

The effects of geometry and horizontal positioning of ultrathin triangular silicon nanowires
(SiNWs) on the function of solar cells (SCs) have been investigated. Two differentiated …

We propose a pair of coupled nanowires (PCNWs) and examine light trapping in PCNWs
with various diameters based on the finite-difference time-domain simulation. We …

Light management in single nanowires (NWs) is of great importance for photovoltaic
applications. However, square NWs (SNWs) can limit their light-trapping ability due to high …

Light-harvesting of single nanowires is very crucial to enhance conversion efficency of solar
cells. Here, we systematically examined light-harvesting of single rectangular nanowires …

Light trapping in single nanowires (NWs) are of vital importance for photovoltaic
