  • Abstract
    III-nitride solar cells comprised of large-area arrays of GaN-InGaN core-shell nanowires electrically connected by a p-InGaN canopy are demonstrated. This proof-of-concept hybrid film-nanowire device enables various advantages including elastic strain relief within the InGaN shell.
