The Hall effect in photovoltaic cells

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

In the present paper it is shown that the short-circuit current will vary under the influence of a magnetic field. The fundamental equations and boundary conditions are derived and a simple structure of a pn+ cell is treated analytically. Emphasis is made on possible extensions and metrological applications.
