Abstract
Amorphous silicon (a-Si) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) are some of the most commonly used materials in modern solar cells due to their abundance, inexpensiveness, and performance in photovoltaics. New designs are being tested for enhancing the performance of solar cells that utilize silicon. The ability to accurately model and simulate devices incorporating both a-Si and c-Si allows for more effective and efficient ways of optimizing adjustable parameters and extracting useful information not easily obtainable through experimentation.
