The relationship between electron and photon damage in solar cells is considered. As a possible model for the photon degradation, the Weeks-TuUy-Kimerling theory of recombination-enhanced defect reactions is discussed, and some modifications and improvements are indicated.

A new theoretical model is presented for the performance of solar cells when light in the shape of a cone impinges on them. This is the case for concentration applications. The model is applied to 1000 sun concentrator p/n heteroface GaAs solar cells for the general purpose of a cone angle of betwee
This paper presents a quantitative analysis of perimeter losses in higheficiency silicon solar cells. A new method of numerical modelling is used, which provides the means to simulate a full-sized solar cell, including its perimeter region. We analyse the reduction in eficiency due to perimeter loss
In this paper we briefly survey processes enhanced by high carrier densities and cases relevant to solar cell systems. The criteria for distinguishing between the main types of mechanism (local excitation, local heating and the Bourgoin-Corbett mechanism) are discussed. Whether or not the reaction c
