A multi-scale, python-based library for the modelling of solar cells and semiconductor materials
SolCore is integrated with SPICE but the reading and writing of SPICE files appear to be hidden from the user. There are instances where it would be useful to load...
There seems to be an unnecessary separation between the 2D solver and SPICE solver. Any problem that can be configured as a 2-diode problem can be solved using SPICE. Would...
The 2-diode (2D) junction solver is presently configured using Eg to set J01 and a radiative efficiency to set J02. This is quite limiting since it is often useful to...
As I am not sure of how important this may be to the Solcore community I'll write a general idea of how the quasi3D solver could be improved in my...
The present means for configuring J01 and J02 in the 2D junction solver is peculiar to MQW p-i-n devices, where the dominant non-radiative recombination takes place in the extended depletion...
An analytical formalism for calculating the efficiency of MJ solar cells using radiative efficiency as a figure of merit could be readily integrated into SolCore. All governing equations are described...
Structures have a method `relative_widths` which standardizes the layer widths to be out of 1. However, this standardization is currently implemented based on the label name. When appending layers to...
The DA method presently uses a numerical integration to allow for an arbitrary photogeneration profile. This is flexible but slow. In the case of the Beer Lambert law being used...
I didn't find it in the docs, it is possible to minimize the Verbosity? Solving one cell is 5-10 lines of outpud and also the PDD solver output appears in...
In the wiki it is said that the absolute limit is 6000. If the structure has too many layers, the code fails silently. Why 6000 is the limit?
