Effect of a Band-Gap Gradient on the Radiative Losses in the Open-Circuit Voltage of Solar Cells

Effect of a Band-Gap Gradient on the Radiative Losses in the Open-Circuit Voltage of Solar Cells

The radiative open-circuit voltage loss in a solar cell occurs because the absorptance spectrum near the band gap shows a gradual increase rather than a sharp step-function-like transition. This broadening effect has been attributed to band-gap fluctuations and/or to Urbach tails. In this work, we u...
