Research Abstract

An analytical method to predict strain fields in multi-layer quantum dots solar cells during its fabrication processes. The strain field due to material combination, interface direction, external strain are given using the developed methods. The change in energy bands due to strain is described through combination of strain components. An interface elasticity between the dot material and matrix material is considered to predict the strain field near the dot-matrix interface and its influence is evaluated. A continum mechanical theory to include the interfacial elasticity is applied to the quantum dot problem.
