Impact-ionization-assisted intermediate band solar cell.

The effect on the efficiency of the intermediate band solar cell of certain types of impact ionization mechanisms is studied. It turns out to have several interesting advantages. For example, this mechanism may lead to cells with an efficiency that, although similar to that of the multijunction cell...
