Abstract

Absorption of light by single by crystalline silicon spherical particle and 2D and 3D layers from such particles is theoretically investigated in the wavelength range from 0.28 to 1.12 μm. The range of particle diameters from 0.05 to 1000 μm is covered. Absorption coefficient of monolayer of small- and wavelength-sized particles is calculated in the quasicrystalline approximation of the theory of multiple scattering of waves. For monolayer of large particles, the single scattering approximation is used. Absorption by multilayer is examined under the transfer matrix method. The spectral and integral over the sun spectrum absorption coefficients are studied. The results are compared with the data for homogeneous plane-parallel silicon plates of the equivalent volume of material (equivalent plates). The monolayer and multilayer consisting of silicon particles with sizes significantly smaller than the wavelength absorb lesser than the equivalent silicon plates. The absorption coefficient of the monolayer of large particles is smaller than the one of equivalent plate. Absorption by three- and more monolayer systems of such particles is larger than the one of the equivalent plates. Absorption by monolayer of wavelength-sized particles can be significantly larger than the one of the equivalent plate. It is caused by strong resonance scattering by individual silicon particles and strong multiple scattering in particle arrays. The narrow wavelength intervals (up to 10 nm) of the resonance peak spectral absorption coefficient of monolayer can be more than 100 times larger than the one of the equivalent plate. In the wavelength range from 0.8 μm to 1.12 μm, integral absorption coefficient of monolayer can be more than 20 times higher than the one of the plate. Enhancement of light absorption due to tuning of the multilayer parameters is considered. The sketch of the solar cell based on gradient particulate structure of active layer is presented.
