Abstract

Plasmonic nanoparticles based thin film solar cells plays a crucial role in designing the current breed of third generation solar cells. To decrease the material cost for economic viability without compromising on absorption efficiency, it is necessary to use the light scattering and trapping properties of such kind of solar cells. In our recent work, we analyzed the optical properties of silver nanoparticles formed using Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) and compared the experimental results with Mie scattering theory.
