  • Abstract
    There is an expanding interest in finding novel concepts for increasing the efficiency and reduce the cost in solar cell devices. In this regard, semiconductor nanowires (NWs) provide various paths towards both goals. In this work we explore the increased device freedom offered by nanowires for optimizing carrier extraction and light absorption in solar cells.
