Abstract: The AMPS-ID program is used to investigate optical and electrical properties of the solar cell of a-SiC:H/a-Si1-xGex:H/a-Si:H thin films. The short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the solar cell are investigated. For x=0.1, the conversion efficiency of the solar cell achieve maximum 9.19 % at the a-Si1-xGex:H thickness of 340 nm.

Abstract: Using the first principle method based on density functional theory (DFT), we have studied the stability, structure, and electronic properties in (2 2), (3, 3), (4 4), (5 5), (6 6) armchair and (4 0), (5 0), (6 0) zigzag GaN nanotubes (GaN-NTs). In addition, the radius of N, Ga atoms, buckling separations, band gap and binding energy of (3 3) and (4 0) GaN-NTs in c-axis strain are investigated. We also explore the modification of density of states due to the strain along c-axis orientation. It is found that the strain can change conductive properties of (3 3) and (4 0) GaN-NTs.
