]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2022 16:46:17 GMT How to turn ultrathin silicon black? https://members.eps.org/members/blog_view.asp?id=751277&post=390863 https://members.eps.org/members/blog_view.asp?id=751277&post=390863 Authors: Willem Vos & Devashish Sharma

Silicon is the basic material that is used in our smart phones, in optical sensors, or in solar cells on our roofs. It is a major outstanding challenge that silicon absorbs incident light only weakly, especially in the red part of the visible spectrum. Recently, using extensive computations, scientists from the University of Twente in the Netherlands have discovered that a 3D nanostructured back reflector greatly increases the absorption. The back reflector is also made of silicon which is convenient to integrate with ultrathin silicon films. Consequently, next generation devices can be made ultrathin, which al­lows new devices to be much more flexible and compact. The results appear in the leading journal Op­tics Express that is published by the Optica society (formerly the Optical Society, OSA).
 

Figure 1: Schematic illustration of a thin photovol­taic cell where the absorption of light is increased thanks to a 3D nanostructured back reflector - a 3D photonic band gap crystal - that thoroughly recycles the unabsorbed light. Hence, even an ul­trathin photovoltaic cell could harvest much more light (than a cell without such a back reflector) and thus generate more energy to drive an exter­nal appliance, like the schematic lamp.
When incident light is absorbed by a plate semiconducting material like silicon, negatively charged elec­trons are excited from the lower-energy valence band to the higher-energy conduction band and similar for positively charged holes (that represent the lack of electrons). By attaching electrodes to the plate, the electrons and holes are harvested and sent into an electric circuit to drive a useful appliance. This process notably occurs inside a solar cell, see Figure 1, where the harvested current serves to power an LED for ambient lighting. While thick silicon plates are widely used, thin silicon films are enjoying a rising popularity on account of their obvious sustainability, since they require much less material, less re­sources, and lower cost. Unfortunately, however, thin and ultrathin silicon films hardly absorb light, especially at long wavelengths in the visible spectrum where the sun radiates a lot. In other words, thin silicon films are not “black”. Therefore the team set out to study how a back reflector could recycle un­absorbed light, and become highly absorbing, or “black”.

Figure 2: Absorption enhancement, equal to the ratio of absorption with a back reflector and absorption without back reflector, for an 80 nm ultrathin silicon layer. The red curve pertains to the ultrathin film with a 3D photonic band gap back reflector. The blue dashed curve pertains to an ultrathin film with a, hypothetical, perfect metal back reflector. The green line indicates the reference level (= 1) of the ultrathin film without any back reflector.
As a back reflector, the Twente team studied a diamond-like photonic crystal composed of two sets of perpendicular pores, shown in Figure 1. Such photonic crystals are known to have a record-wide 3D photonic band gap. As a result, the team indeed finds that this crystal is a truly omnidirectional, broadband, and polarization-robust back reflector. Lead author Devashish effuses: "Our extensive computations reveal that the photonic back reflector yields a striking 9.15 times enhanced absorption even for a 80 nanometer ultrathin film (see Figure 2). Our devices are up to 80% lighter than bulk silicon, due to the porosity of the photonic structure, jokingly referred to as “holeyness”".
 
Figure 3: Absolute absorption spectra (in %) for an 80 nm ultrathin silicon layer. The red curve pertains to the ultrathin film with a 3D photonic crystal back reflector and the blue dashed curve pertains to the ultrathin film with a perfect metal back reflector. The green line represents the ab­sorption of an ultrathin film without any back re­flector, with the black solid line as the reference level (or 0 %).
 
Figure 4: Schematic of a thin charge-coupled device (CCD) whose absorption could also be enhanced by a 3D photonic band gap back reflector. Hence, such a CCD becomes more efficient at collecting light.
Group leader Vos explains: "Such a strong absorption in a thin silicon film (see Figure 3) can also be in­terpreted in a quantum physical picture, namely that the photonic crystal acts as a colored electromag­netic vacuum below the absorbing film. The absorption of incident light is so strongly boosted that ul­trathin silicon would effectively turn black". The Twente team also projects that their holey 3D inverse wood­pile structures offer application potential for compact on-chip sensors, photodiodes, and charge-coupled devices (CCD) for cameras (see Figure 4).
Previously, the team reported enhanced optical absorption for realistic and finite 3D silicon photonic band gap crystals with an embedded resonant cavity (https://nano-cops.com/publications/article/three-dimensional-photonic-band-gap-cavity-with-finite-support-enhanced-energy-density-and-optical-absorption/). The absorption was found to be substantially enhanced, however, only within the tiny cavity volume as opposed to the present case, where the absorption occurs throughout the whole film.

Many phenomena that we observe in the Universe do not yet have an explanation, and sometimes in order to look for an explanation it becomes compelling to go beyond the standard theories and explore new physical scenarios. So, a team of researchers of INFN (Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics) and INAF (Italian Institute of Astrophysics) – in order to avoid an anomaly concerning blazars – have proposed a solution involving new particles named ALPs, which are predicted by various theories which go beyond the Standard Model. ALPs are neutral, extremely light particles which preferentially couple to photons. Among the authors there is Giovanni Bignami, a famous astrophysicist who recently passed away, whose last scientific contribution has been published in the last issue of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

    A topical review by the Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society, edited by Anna Macková, Douglas MacGregor, Faiçal Azaiez, Johan Nyberg, and Eli Piasetzky.

    Nuclear physics applications in medicine and energy are well known and widely reported. Less well known are the many important nuclear and related techniques used for the study, characterization, assessment and preservation of cultural heritage. There has been enormous progress in this field in recent years and the current review aims to provide the public with a popular and accessible account of this work.

    The Nuclear Physics Division of the EPS represents scientists from all branches of nuclear physics across Europe. One of its aims is the dissemination of knowledge about nuclear physics and its applications. This review is led by Division board member Anna Macková, Head of the Tandetron Laboratory at the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the review committee includes four other members of the nuclear physics board interested in this area: Faiçal Azaiez, Johan Nyberg, Eli Piasetzky and Douglas MacGregor. To create a truly authoritative account, the Scientific Editors have invited contributions from leading experts across Europe, and this publication is the combined result of their work.

    The review is extensively illustrated with important discoveries and examples from archaeology, pre-history, history, geography, culture, religion and curation, which underline the breadth and importance of this field. The large number of groups and laboratories working in the study and preservation of cultural heritage across Europe indicate the enormous effort and importance attached by society to this activity.

    News from the ALICE Run Control Centre
    On March 25 the first proton beams for 2016 started circulating in the LHC, which marked the official end of the 13-week long year-end technical stop. The next four weeks are dedicated to beam commissioning, which will be followed by a ramp-up in intensity by increasing the number of protons per bunch, until the target intensity is reached. Stable beams at 13 TeV are expected around the end of April.

    New interactive window at the ALICE Run Control Centre
    One of the best advantages of the interactive window is the possibility to show visitors what lies 52 metres below their feet and what hides behind the heavy red magnet doors.

    We would like to draw your attention to the Dutch Journal of Physics, the e-magazine of the Netherlands’ Physical Society (Nederlandse Natuurkundige Vereniging - NNV). 
     


    With this journal the NNV aims at reaching out to the community of physicists with an interest in developments in physics research, industry and education in the Netherlands, but whose knowledge of Dutch is not sufficient for comfortably reading the printed journal. As of 2016, the NNV has decided to start publishing an English version of the Society’s Journal four times a year under the name Dutch Journal of Physics (DJoP). The quarterly issues of the DJoP will bring articles and items in English compiling the highlights of the latest three issues of the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Natuurkunde.

    Another innovation is the fact that the DJoP will be a fully electronic journal that reads comfortably on tablet computers and uses the full-added functionalities, including video and audio content and active links. The first trial issue, released on 3 January, is freely available for download from the App Store, or Play Store. We encourage you to look at the Journal and give us feedback. We would also appreciate your distributing this announcement in your organisation. This first issue is a translation of the 2015 special issue about light.

    We wish you a lot of pleasure reading and please remember to fill out the questionnaire at the end of the magazine.

    With best regards,
    Jan van Ruitenbeek

    While ALICE is sleeping
    In order for the LHC and all the experiments to work properly throughout the year, certain changes need to be done. The right time for that is the year-end technical stop, or YETS.
    News from the ALICE Collaboration board
    During the last Collaboration board, which took place on the 18 December, the proposal to change the duration of the mandates of elected members of the collaboration was accepted. The mandates of the Spokesperson, the Chair of the Collaboration board and all coordinators (except the Offline, Technical and Finance coordinators), are now going to last for three years and will be non-renewable.
