Data sets
The data published here originates from simulations carried out at Leibniz Universität Hannover and from experimental research at ISFH. They are freely available for download.
Absorption coefficient of silicon
ZIP, 2.77 KBWavelength-dependent absorption coefficient of c-silicon at 295K with uncertainty; also contains the temperature coefficient for transferring the data to other temperatures.
Information on these data can be found in: C. Schinke et al, Uncertainty analysis for the coefficient of band-to-band absorption of crystalline silicon, AIP Advances 5, 067168 (2015)
Refractive indices of silicon
ZIP, 15.85 KBWavelength-dependent refractive indices and extinction coefficients of silicon and of typical solar cell coatings and glazing used in photovoltaics. Also contains data on the reflectivity of backsheets for solar cells.
