ABSTRACTThe device performance of GaAs p-i-n solar cells containing stacked layers of self-assembled InAs quantum dots is investigated. The solar cells demonstrate enhanced external quantum efficiency below the GaAs band gap relative to a control device without quantum dots. This is attributed to the capture of sub-band gap photons by the quantum dots. Analysis of the current density versus voltage characteristic for the quantum dot solar cell reveals a decrease in the series resistance as the device area is reduce from 0.16 cm2 to 0.01 cm2. This is effect is not observed in control devices and is quantum dot related. Furthermore, low temperature measurements of the open circuit voltage for both quantum dot and control devices provide experimental verification of the conditions required to realise an intermediate band gap solar cell.

An inverted bulk-heterojunction hybrid solar cell with the structure ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PbS/Au was prepared. The device performance was enhanced by inserting an interface buffer layer of CdSe quantum dots between the ZnO and the P3HT:PbS BHJ active layer.

With the breakthrough of mobility in quantum dot electric field transistors (Q-EFTs), the potential application in these functional devices has revealed and been paid more attentions, due to flexibility in design, low cost, facility for processing and large area. One of the most important applications of FETs is the photoconductive detector. However, these functional FETs have less been reported. In this work, colloidal PbS Q-FETs were successfully fabricated by reasonable structure design and layer-by-layer depositon technique PbS quantum-dots. The bipolar property was demonstrated by the output and transfer characteristics, as devices work in I and III quadrants simultaneously. The mobilities of electron and hole are 0.16 cm2/(V⋅s) and 0.28 cm2/(V⋅s), respectively. Q-FETs work as photoconductive detectors at both positive and negative gate bias voltages. Under constant gate bias, photocurrent increase exponentially with the intensity of light. The responding region consisted with the absorption range of PbS quantum dots. A linearity was found in drain voltage and incidence of laser power, the ratio was attributing to 0.0019 (μW⋅V)-1.
