Abstract
A solar cell 1 has a p-n junction structure between a first solid material layer 3 comprising an insulator or a semiconductor and a second solid material layer 5 comprising an insulator or a semiconductor of a type different from the type of the first solid material layer 3, in which structure a Mott insulator or a Mott semiconductor is used as a solid material of at least one of the layers.
Claims10
A solar cell comprising
- a junction structure between a first solid material layer and a second solid material layer, the first solid material layer comprising a p- or n-type insulator or a p- or n-type semiconductor, the second solid material layer comprising a different type of an insulator or semiconductor from the type of the first solid material layer, wherein
- a solid material of at least one layer of the first solid material layer and the second solid material layer is a Mott insulator or a Mott semiconductor.
