What is the current relevance of koster's model(2005) for modeling organic solar cells?

02 February 2015 1 6K Report

Hi,

I am using Koster's model to simulate the I-V curves of irregular organic solar cells.

Is the model still relevant today? Can somebody please suggest literature discussing alternatives/improvements to the model in the past few years?

Sumanshu Agarwal

I think Koster's model is good enoughto start with. As active layer is blend of two organic material you have to model it a single semiconductor with effective material parameters otherwise you may have to design a detailed numerical simulation in 3D.
