Direct-bandgap Nano-crystalline Optoelectronic Devices
A photovoltaic device is provided comprising a thin-film of an energy conversion material. The energy conversion material includes one or more quantum structures, where the quantum structures comprise a semiconductor material having an indirect band-gap in the bulk. The average size of the quantum structures is selected such that a direct and an indirect band-gaps are modified in the semiconductor material such that the direct band-gap provides charge carrier generation when the quantum structures are exposed to light.
