Abstract

Both the optical and transport properties of a-Si: H have been suitably parametrized as a function of Urbach's tail logarithmic slope Eo, surface density of states Ns and optical absorption normalization parameter αo, in order to reduce the number of parameters used for p-i-n solar cell S, simulation.

The transient photovoltaic effect has been simulated by a Monte Carlo multitrapping computer model in order to investigate the possibility of its use for p-i-n solar cell diagnostics.
