Wavelength dependence of short-circuit current decay in solar cells

The short-circuit current decay technique has been used in the literature to determine the minority-carrier lifetime in the base of solar cells. The dependence of the short-circuit current decay on the wavelength of the excitation light is reported in detail. Both the theoretical expressions and exp...

Description
Summary:The short-circuit current decay technique has been used in the literature to determine the minority-carrier lifetime in the base of solar cells. The dependence of the short-circuit current decay on the wavelength of the excitation light is reported in detail. Both the theoretical expressions and experimental results are presented. The experimental results agree reasonably well with the theory.
