(a) A schematic diagram of a p-i-n bulk solar cell. (b) A schematic diagram of a p-i-n solar cell embedded with nanostructures in which the gray dots indicate the nanostructures. (c) A schematic energy band diagram of a p-i-n solar cell embedded with nanostructures. (d) The ranges of light absorption from the bulk material (GaAs) and the nanostructures (InAs). The solar spectrum is AM1.5 normalized to the 1000 W/m2 standard test condition.
