Structural and optoelectronical characterization of Si-SiO_2/SiO_2 multilayers with applications in all Si tandem solar cells

SiO_2 multilayers with embedded Si nanocrystals (Si-ncs) were investigated as an approach for developing highly efficient all Si tandem solar cells. The nanostructured samples, fabricated by means of a reactive magnetron sputtering, were structurally and optoelectronically characterized using differ...
