Can I read On the indentation-assisted phase engineered Si for solar applications on EtoBox?

On the indentation-assisted phase engineered Si for solar applications by Mannepalli, Sowjanya; Sagade, Abhay A.; Mangalampalli, Kiran S.R.N. is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.

What is On the indentation-assisted phase engineered Si for solar applications about?

The rhombohedral phase of silicon is fabricated over a large-area within the diamond cubic Si wafer using spherical nanoindentation. The ultraviolet and visible spectrum showed a ~50% lower reflectance for the rhombohedral Si compared to the pristine Si. The estimated refractive index of ~6.7 at 630 nm for the rhombohedral Si is ~35% higher than the diamond cubic Si, which agrees well with the theoretical calculations. The rhombohedral Si with enhanced light absorption ability is utilized as a solar absorber layer for the bare p-n junction Si solar cell and observed to show ~10 times improvement in the photocurrent density.

Who reads On the indentation-assisted phase engineered Si for solar applications?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
