摘要：

This study investigated the absorption efficiency of GaAs/Ina(2)Ga(0.8)As cylindrical core shell nanowire (NW) solar cells with a circular cross-section for normal incident light. Numerical results obtained through finite-difference time domain simulation showed that NW dimensions influenced the absorption efficiency of the solar cells. The band structure of the wires was also investigated. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
