  • Abstract
    An asymptotic analysis of beam-induced-current profiles of grain boundaries in polycrystalline solar cells presented in the above-titled paper by C.A. Dimitriadis (ibid., vol.32, p.1761-5, Sept. 1985) is corrected and extended to the case of arbitrary interface recombination velocity. Dimitriadis replies that the original analysis is correct within the first-order approximation.<>
