Abstract

We respond to a comment about our paper published in J. Appl. Phys. 117, 026101 (2015) on the theory of light trapping and electronic transport in thin-film silicon solar cells. We show that our analytic model is correct and the discrepancies with respect to the full numerical solution are due to the choice of parameters. With the appropriate choice, agreement between analytic model and numerical results is improved and the analytic model has a wide applicability range.

Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.
