✦ Synopsis

This paper reviews the experimental and theoretical studies of quantum well solar cells with an aim of providing the background to the more detailed papers on this subject in these proceedings. It discusses the way quantum wells enhance e ciency in real, lattice matched material systems and fundamental studies of radiative recombination relevant to the question of whether such enhancements are possible in ideal cells. A number of theoretical models for quantum well solar cells (QWSCs) are brie y reviewed and more detail is given of our own group's model of the dark-currents. The temperature and ΓΏeld dependence of QWSCs are all brie y reviewed.

In this paper, the e ectiveness of a new model used to design ideal quantum well solar cells (QWSC) is presented. This is achieved through the presentation of a series of ideal designs for which performance levels/absolute e ciencies are determined. Initially, we review the series of models and forg
