Silicon-rich SiO_2/SiO_2 multilayers: A promising material for the third generation of solar cell

Si-rich-SiO_2(SRSO)/SiO_2 multilayers (MLs) have been grown by reactive magnetron sputtering. The presence of silicon nanoclusters (Si-ncls) within the SRSO sublayer and annealing temperature influence optical absorption as well as photoluminescence. The optimized annealing temperature has been foun...
